Notes from Once Upon a Time in the West

Basically, I feel that this film expresses a sigh about an era. The themes I saw were more than exclamations, though.

Because, the theme is around Jill.
Why would an Irishman marry a prostitute so quickly, and slap his kid in the ear when he's suspicious?
Why did the lone gunman finally have to wait for the black hat at the station? And duel him at the station under construction? Finally plug in the harmonica?
Why would the principled bandit use his bounty to help the widow's love?
And when Jill appeared, and the background music at key moments... The

director wanted to give her all the beauty and hope - and in a clean way.

Needless to say, this film made me so emotional that I couldn't write.

    I was so crying, and made up for the regret of not being able to go to the Shanghai Lions Film Festival in September last year. When the theme music was released, there was a sigh of emotion: the martial arts movie should start like this, a hundred thousand li in the sand. When the close-up was in the close-up, the figure of a girl dangled from under the screen, and the contrast was so strong. In the gaze, whether the decent party or the villain Mr. Railway, people are full of faith and hope in this (western) world, waiting for the train to enter the station (arrival)

    The cctv6 national edition, the western film has an epic thickness, and each character is distinct and distinct. Despite the similar styles, Leonne has more idealism and heroism than Coppola, so he rejected "The Godfather" and made the "Once Upon a Time Trilogy". This "Once Upon a Time in the West" is indeed worthy of The title of "the greatest western film in history", the desert and yellow sand, rewarding good and punishing evil, and happily enmity, presumably the "New Dragon Inn" by the old stranger is the true story of Leon. But this is the first time I saw Uncle Fonda acting as a villain on the screen, and he was so scumbag and so powerful and hateful (it can be called the best villain in Western films). It seems that a good actor with a gentleman type would play a badass. , I am afraid that even the real bad guys are ashamed. I just don’t know why. Whenever the ethereal singing melody of the female voice in "C'era Una Volta Il West" is played, there is a magical feeling that the soul is out of the body and the whole body is soggy. I'm afraid this is the magic of the movie soundtrack, right? In memory of Morricone, the soundtrack master who has just passed away, thank you for letting the sound of yesterday keep moving us today.
