The Man With no Name Trilogy has been amazing to experience! Some of the most iconic music and films! Still so much more for us to experience in the great world of Westerns!
Thank you all for the support!
I'm very excited to see what other classic films you discover next! The Dollar Trilogy and Lawrence of Arabia have been my favorite reactions so far ...
For more Eastwood western, I recommend The Outlaw Josey Wales. For a less-gritty western, Young Guns was a fun, Hollywood western.
@@positivelynegative9149 I second "young guns & young guns 2" they deserve some reactions.
For some more modern Westerns you guys should check out "young guns & young guns 2" young cast of stars, based on real people and events.
Grew up watching it and still like them today. Also "open range" ( Kevin Costner & Robert Duvall)
I consider this to be my "favorite" movie since I was 14. 40 years later, I haven't found a replacement yet
There's actually an interesting story about Arch Stanton's skeleton. Leone didn't like the look of the fake prop skeletons and asked his main prop guy if he could find a real skeleton to use for the shot. They found a woman in Madrid who would rent out a skeleton for movies. It turned out that the skeleton was her mother's and in her will, her mother, who had been an actress, stated that she wanted her skeleton to be used in movies so that her acting career would continue even after her death.
Lots of interesting stories about these movies. This story is super interesting and nasty af lol. I remember also reading that the dead tree Clint rides by in the intro of fistful of dollars was first spotted outside some guys house. The film crew pretended to be with the city and removed and took the tree lol
Wow, thanks for sharing that story
?!?!
Now that is an awesome story! What a way to immortalise your acting legacy even after death - that woman's mother was cool. lol
Yep, love that story ;) =P =)
Eli Wallach's performance just elevates this movie to another level.
He was so damn good in this.
Legendary
I'm with you on that.
‘If you have to shoot, shoot! Don’t talk.’
Based on his experience with Leone he convinced his friend Henry Fonda to do Once Upon a Time in the West 🤠
"The ecstasy of gold" is the theme played during the graveyard search. One of Ennio Morricone's finest works.
th-cam.com/video/enuOArEfqGo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DRKoncerthuset
And the music was written before shooting, and Sergio Leone built the scene around the music - like a musical number or dance.
@@rabbitandcrow I verify that. Luckily, for Once Upon A Time In America, the entire soundtrack had been in the can for years before Leone shot that, his last film. And wow, does it show.
It opens every Metallica show and I love that. It’s a great segue to a live concert.
@Tommy Irvine - sure it is.
Just check the "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" - done by "The Danish National Symphony Orchestra", the "Extasy of Gold" starts around 2m40s.
A pure masterpiece.
Ennio was a genius. Pure and simple -> "Morricone's father first taught him to read music and to play several instruments. He entered the Saint Cecilia Conservatory to take trumpet lessons under the guidance of Umberto Semproni. He formally entered the conservatory in 1940 at age 12, enrolling in a four-year harmony program that he completed within six months."
And let's not forget about Edda Dell'Orso - who contributed a lot to some of that (with plenty of other movies done with Morricone).
That last sequence-- L'estasi dell'oro and then Il Triello -- remain some of the most gorgeous shots ever captured on film. Nearly 10 minutes of operatic western tension. I love every second of it.
Tuco is one of all-time favorite movie characters. Ruthless yet hilarious.
"If you're gonna shoot. Shoot."
"Don't talk."
Words to live by😎
He made the movie. My favorite character by far in this movie.
Tuco is so *human* with his faults, humour & greed. The scene with his brother (the priest) was heartbreaking. Blondie as the ‘angel’ & Sentenza as the ‘devil’ - with Tuco teetering between the two
One of the best scene (and one of the most underrated) is the one with Tuco and his brother.
In less than 5 minutes, Leone overturns the public's perception of Tuco: from dastardly villain to tragic anti hero.
Outsanding point there.
The final standoff is just a thing of beauty.
The close ups on the eyes, the camera constantly moving from one another with that mesmerizing music in the background.
No doubt one of the greatest scene in cinematic history.
The thing about the final showdown is that Angel Eyes has to know he's gonna die, no matter which one he kills the other man will kill him but his greed and ego won't let him walk away.
@@Acme1970
Also, it's not noticeable immediately, but upon rewatch you do notice that Blondie never looks away from Angel Eyes, first because he knows he is the most dangerous of the two, but also because he knows that Tuco's gun is empty and has only to deal with him.
That's how you end a movie for sure.
That ending feels the most legendary compared to any other film I’ve ever seen. The story, acting, directing, music, everything was almost surreal.
@@davidmeir9348 Blondie had everything thought. Not only he only had to focus on Angel Eyes, who didn't knew Tuco hadn't ammo, but also eh didn't wrote a name in the stone, so even if he died the others more than likely wouldn't have the money.
Edit: oh man, they just adressed what I wrote. That happen when one write a comment without watching all the video. My bad 😋
Eli Wallach's portrayal of Tuco is perfect, he's an amoral scumbag yet Wallach makes us like him with an incredible performance. The defining movie of the Spaghetti Western genre.
Recommend taking a couple minutes and watching the Danish National Symphony Orchestra's live performance of the theme to TGTBTU, from their Clint Eastwood man with no name concert. They also tackle other iconic films and franchises in other concerts, including Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings.
Absolutely. The Danish national symphony performance was AWESOME
And please do a reaction to that:)
I approve this message!
I highly recommend you do this!
I was just about to say the same thing! And maybe do a reaction to that as well?
This film is a masterpiece!
Eli and Clint sound noticably older in some scenes because the ones that were deleted from the theatrical cut had no dubbing (the movie was shot with each actor speaking their own language and later overdubbed) - when the scenes were unearthed 44 years later Eli and Clint were brought in to dub these, and as Lee van Cleef had died in 1984 his lines had another actor.
Great reaction. If you liked Eli Wallach, i highly recommend the original "Magnificent Seven". He plays the main villain. All star cast of good guys (Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Yul Brynner, James Coburn, etc)
Yes indeed 👍🏾 I saw it for the very first time back in 1960. Remains an all time favorite of mine
Yes, fantastic cast, tempo and music.
I've really started to appreciate Eli Wallach. He was such versatile actor. My favorite Eli Wallach role is as Harry Hunter in "How to Save a Marriage and Ruin Your Life." 1968. It's a sophisticated comedy. His banter with fellow co-star Dean Martin is sublime. When Harry is writing a letter with a pencil and breaks the tip, over and over again-that is acting. His wife Anne Jackson plays his mistress in the movie. Dean an Eli should have made more movies together.
Eli Wallach is also great in Baby Doll (1956) (also starring Karl Malden and Carroll Baker), The Misfits (1961) (also starring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift), and Lord Jim (1965) (also starring Peter O'Toole, James Mason, and Curd Jürgens).
@@mikecaetano Personally I love him in the Victors, a film which I think is often underrated. He perfectly catches the civilians in uniform reality of the typical PBI.
This really is Eli Wallach movie. How he didn't get an Oscar for his performance is beyond me.
The music is from Ennio Morricone. I was lucky enough to see him in concert years ago. He was a true genius.
The music when they get to the cemetery is Ecstasy of gold, probably the best film music ever.
Yeah he owned the movie.
This was considered a foreign movie.
It's Italian movie, not US.
Oscar is for US movies only.
Ennio Morricone should have been nominated for his score, as well.
@Goosecore I thought Eastwood was pretty awesome in this movie. But yeah . . . I think Eli Wallach stole the show.
My absolute favorite of favorites!
It’ll be a sad day when Clint finally goes. One of the last remaining stars of a truly golden age for cinema. Actor, director, musician, he’s great at it all, a bonafide legend.
Others have mentioned watching Once Upon a Time in the West, which you should definitely do - especially given how much you've enjoyed the music in the Dollars trilogy - but A Fistful of Dynamite / Duck You Sucker is also a must-see Sergio Leone western, just one that gets far fewer mentions. It's easily on par with these, and has a decent amount of a similar sense of humour to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Tuco is definitely the one with any character arc. My favourite scene is with his brother, where we learn a little about him and see his mask drop and moment of vulnerability even. Tough childhood and bad choices, an ugly life.
Have watched this movie a dozen or so times and its just gets better each time - especially Eli Wallach's performance.
The Good, The Bad, and the Gruesome have finally arrived at the Schmitt channel. JUST remember "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk." What a line for the ages. All movie villains should take that with them to the grave.
TRULY TRULY EPIC LINE
I seem to recall a similar line in "Die Hard"
I wish anime heeded that advice
@@jean-paulaudette9246 I did believe you are right. I can't remember if McClain said it in Die hard 1 or 3. Still a line for the ages.
@@CharlesDickens111 Tuco can't die. We need him to shout profanities at the end of movie.
Absolutely!
When you started the Man with No Name Trilogy this movie was the one I was really waiting for. One of the all time Spaghetti Western classic! Van Cleef Angel Eyes is as insane as Eli Wallach's Tuco and Clint Eastwood's Blondie. It's God tier!
Hands down The BEST WESTERN of all time. What an awesome movie tagline.
"For three men, the Civil War wasn't hell. It was practice." That bridge scene was so EPIC, I can picture those men still fighting over the bridge. "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" and "The Magnificent Seven" You must watch those now.
I agree, Seven Samurai before The Magnificent Seven though!
It is the presence of Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez that sets this above the others. Eli Wallach brought the role truly to life. The scene between he and his brother speaks volumes on the effects of desperate poverty on people. Definitely a second on Once upon a time in the West. Great to see Henry Fonda as a ruthless villain for a change.
Once Upon a Time in the West is really the end of the No Name series. Charles Bronson replaces Clint Eastwood but it might be the best of the four. Definitely need to watch it because it tell The Man With No Name's origin.
Yes! Great movie & amazing cast, especially Henry Fonda.
Agreed must watch.
I think "MY NAME IS NOBODY" (1973) is the real end of the No Name series. Leone wrote it and directed some of it. 😉
@@Daniel24724 That's a great one too. Never considered it a No Name movie, but that is probably because I knew Terence Hill as Trinity long before I saw Nobody. You think we can get them to watch They Call Me Trinity?
@@gishgali8354 I don't know. "MY NAME IS NOBODY" is not only a comedy. The issue of "the end of the West and of the West heroes" is very emotional. The others Terence Hill movies are far from that.
Such a classic movie
This whole movie was filmed in Spain by an Italian director. They call these movies " Spaghetti Westerns " for a reason . On Netflix they have a documentary of Sad Hill final scene with all the graves. Although over the years the graveyard was covered up by grass. So what Spain did was uncover the whole thing. They even got help from many people to uncover it and also France .
Only the exteriors were flimed in spain, the interiors were filmed in the Cinecitta film studios in Rome.
There is very good reasons why they shot the movie in Spain. At the time, Spain was under the rule of military dictator General Franco. And he was desperate to improve Spain's economic situation, and one plan for that was to invite foreign film makers to come to Spain to shoot movies. All the extras in this movie were Spanish soldiers, and all the weapons were brought out from military Museums. The Army engineers built the bridge and other set pieces.
@@steffenam Quentin T said " Spaghetti westerns are my favorite westerns ". If you notice , westerns made by American directors were clean ? And by that I mean : shiny gun , clean shave , shiny boots , well showered and so on . Director from : Good , Bad & The Ugly " made the times more realistic .
If you enjoyed this, I recommend you see “The Magnificent Seven,” as well as “Once Upon a Time in the West.” In “The Magnificent Seven” Eli Wallach (The Ugly in this) plays Calvera, leader of a band of Mexican bandits. It’s a classic remake of the Japanese film “Seven Samurai.”
Sergio Leone hired Wallach, due to him being in "The Magnificent Seven".
Lee Van Cleef is well known for portraying classic western villains. His most famous roles include "High Noon", "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".
lol, how are those his most famous roles? he's like a speechless henchmen in the background in TMWSLV and I don't even remember him in High Noon at all, more people will know him from Escape from New York nowadays than either of those.
@@Mr.Goodkat High Noon was his first film, playing one of Frank Miller's men. But For a Few Dollars More was his first actual starring role that really launched his career, becoming a superstar in Europe where he largely stayed through the 60s and 70s until the Western craze died down along with his career.
He also played similar characters in Noir films like The Big Combo in which he is one of the heavies of the main mobster, thankfully he went to play better roles than just grunts.
Don't remember Lee Van Cleef in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." Lee Marvin was the main villain.
@@BlazeInjun Van Cleef was one of his cronies go back and you'll see.
Yet another vote for "Once Upon a Time in The West" being added to your watch list. I promise you will be absolutely blown away by the filming, the music, the story, the whole package.
11:53 It is Eli Walach saying the lines. This and several other scenes were never released or dubbed in the US and as such, Eli and Clint for the special edition uncut release of this redid their voices some 40 years later. So that is what the voices are not the same. But glad they got them to do their lines again and not some sound alikes.
Yeah, Clint doesn't sound like himself any more at all and Eli sounded like he thoroughly enjoyed the intervening 40 years just fine. LOL! The guy they got to imitate Lee Van Cleef was the least distracting, which probably says something about something.
The best part of these movies is the fact that Eastwood's character isn't a traditional action hero, he's a trickster. He's basically the prototype for Loki, if Loki ended up in the old west, which is one of the best ideas for a Marvel movie I can imagine.
Also, Tuco's no man of faith. I''d believe that he's done the "train breaks handcuff" trick before, maybe a couple of times...
A terrific conclusion to one of the greatest trilogies of all time! Not only are all 3 movies good, but the trilogy manages to get better as you go on, with each movie being better than the previous entry.
Also, like I imagine others have said, I highly recommend "Once Upon A Time In The West". Not just a great movie, but a great soundtrack, including the iconic "Man with the Harmonica".
Amazing reaction to this movie from Daniel and Sam. I think Eli Wallach's performance as Tuco is one of the greatest, simply, perfecto. The scene where Tuco is racing around the cemetery is accompanied by Morircone's classic theme 'Ecstacy of Gold'. Sergio Leone really topped himself here.
Tuco running around the cemetary always searching, never finding. Sounds like punishment the Ancient Greek gods would devise.
Eli Wallach performance was epic and groundbreaking.
The late,great Eli Wallach as Tuco ,"The Ugly" ,was the absolute star of this epic western
Also something to check out: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)
You can see them perform the song, the masterpiece. You could even react to it.
If I understand correctly the music was made for the movie but before shooting the scenes. Most of the original movie music is made after shooting the scenes
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)
th-cam.com/video/enuOArEfqGo/w-d-xo.html
Definitely worth watching, they performed a whole concert of the works of Ennio Morricone. Hearing a whole orchestra and choir performing these pieces was a joy to listen to.
I'm still glad I was able to attend a concert of Ennio Morricone himself a few years before he passed.
One of the reprises at the end was of course "The Ecstasy of Gold".
Yes, Sergio Leonie had the music and movie in his head and would describe the movie while making the music sounds from start to finish before filming. The music did come first.
Two more points about the movie:
1: It's essentially an anti-war movie. Sergio Leone was a strong opponent of war (not surprising after he had witnessed WW2 in Italy as a child), and you see that in this movie. In almost every scene that involves the US civil war, you see how pointless and inhumane it is. Loads of soldiers dying for an insignificant bridge, a "traitor" being shot without trial, soldiers retreating through the desert and dying there, the wounded in the monastery... One of the key moments is when Angel Eyes (the Bad) comes to the confederate field hospital and even HE looks at it like "this is really bad". And then there is of course the drunk Captain who finds his salvation when the bridge is blown up. But the clever thing is that the Civil War is not the main focus of the movie - it's not ABOUT the war, it's just the background for the story, yet it is closely linked to it. Our main characters get entangled in it again and again, but they are not really invested in its cause, they just use it to get closer to their goal.
2: The main character motive of the movie is greed. All three main characters just want one thing - the money. The only difference between them are their methods. This is reflected in the music: They all share the same theme, just played with different instruments.
Guy's I'd recommend you give Open Range a "shot", a modern western that doesn't get enough credit. Brilliant, solid acting from all the cast: Costner, Duvall, Michael Gambon, Annette Benning, that young guy from Starwars Rogue One, and it even has the big guy from the 90's tv shoe E.R and the crazy old man with the blimp from Waterworld :)
Open Range is criminally overlooked. A great film in it's own right, but man - the cinematography. Every single scene is just gorgeous.
@@KyleS3m3noff underrated gem. The gunfight climax is the best ever filmed, IMO.
@@steffenam That and how scatter guns throw people back tree feet. But that's just Hollywood. Another really good but understated "movie" was Broken Trail. Directed by Walter Hill in the early 00s, it was a two part made for AMC movie. It also stars Robert Duvall with Thomas Jaden Church.
The real star of this film is Ennio Morricone's composition/orchestration. Eli Wallach comes a very close second. Thanks for your reaction.
9:19 HOLLY SH!T It is. I just saw both scenes side by side to confirm. I have watched these films for over 30 years now many many times and never picked up on that. WOW. Great catch.
Haha thank you and thanks for the confirmation!
This is the greatest movie ever made
I never get tired of watching people react to this film for the first time. It really is a classic and Leone's films help to redefine the previously spit and polish clean western of American style (Roy Rogers and John Wayne, etc) into a more gritty and arguably more believable film. Good and bad are grey areas and even a hero can be one with less than noble intentions.
This film also showed how powerful music can be if it is put up front as almost its own character rather than in the background. In this film it really IS one of the main characters, defining a scene rather than lending itself to it. 'Ecstasy of Gold' is used not just to show the search, but the desperation, and accelerating and pounding pulse of Tuco's Gold Fever.
The whole film is powerful in ways so many films now are lacking.
Stephen King had just finished reading The Lord of the Rings, and he went to see a showing of this film. The two combined in his head, and (eventually) he sat down to start writing his western-post-apocalyptic-fantasy epic: The Dark Tower series.
Fun Fact: The scene where Tuco is making his "custom" revolver is completely improvised. Eli Wallach remarked in an interview that Sergio Leone told him he had no script for the scene. On top of that, Wallach knew basically nothing about revolvers, which makes that scene even better.
EDIT: Have you guys seen "The Outlaw Josey Wales"? Another Clint Eastwood movie, this time from 1976, it's considered the greatest Western of all time and one of the greatest films ever. Definitely worth a few watches.
Check out, The Danish National Symphony Orchestra - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. You will love it. Look for Props. I saw the movie at the Drive-in when it came out, always been one of my favs.
I love this movie and I really enjoyed your reactions. Tuco, played by Eli Wallach (K at the end) Is definitely the star of this one. All three are excellent in their roles but Tuco is the central character. I watch this about once a year and always enjoy it. Now you have to watch "Once Upon A Time in the West" it really is the best. Charles Bronson is an absolute favorite actor of mine, I have seen all his movies and there are definitely a few you should react to "The Great Escape" for sure and "Death Wish". Also stars Henry Fonda who is one of the all time greats. Thank you!
11:55, this and other scenes from the Italian cut were restored into the DVD/BluRay featuring dubbing by older Wallach, Eastwood and replacement voice dubbers for actors who died.
Yes.... unfortunately the added scenes seem out of place in my opinion... I much prefer the original version.
@@mustangtel9265 1. You're used to the old cut.
2. Though the acoustic "uncanny valley" is a problem.
Eli Wallach was the most accomplished actor at the time, having worked and studied with the best, which is why he steals the show (yet leaves room for others to shine). Van Cleef and Eastwood were still TV stars trying to earn some money, very much like Rick Dalton in Once Upon A Time I'm Hollywood. All three movies hit the US at the same time - the previous two had only been released in Europe at that stage, so Clint really did become a megastar kinda overnight (although the US would have known him from Rawhide).
This is my favorite movie of all time. Glad you two have enjoyed all three films. It’s one of the greatest trilogies ever. The end shootout is masterful film making from the undeniable genius music from Ennio Morricone to the editing is so perfect to the music and upping the intensity.
You are right, I have heard this music in a car commercial, and definitely in other pop culture things. This is one of the few movie soundtracks of which I bought. Stellar. I also like the comedy sprinkled throughout the movie. I repair headstones for a living, and I often have to search around for names, so I relate to Tuco running around looking for Arch Stanton in a particular cemetery ALL THE TIME. Favorite movie of all time. Great watch and analysis!!!
Now that you’ve earned your Leone Eastwood cred, some more landmark westerns to check out.
“Once Upon A Time in the West” (1968)
“The Wild Bunch” (1969)
“The Searchers” (1956)
and “Young Guns” (1988)
an enormously popular western when no one was making westerns.
Great and varied list. Lots of styles repped in those four films.
Wild Bunch is an all-time fav!
Don’t forget Silverado.
The Searchers is my favorite western of all time. Definitely have to check out some John Ford westerns.
I was waiting for you guys to reach this one, top 3 westerns of all time. I watched the fist full of dollars series out of order, but watching your vids helped me appreciate the actors and characters more.
That is awesome to hear, thank you!
You know what's weird. When this movie was made the Civil War was only about 100 years in the past. It would be like a movie made today about the early 1920s. Hell most western movies made in the 1950s - 60s were about the 1870s - 1880s, so like a movie today made about WW2.
You two are the best reaction channel on youtube. You are intellegent, authentic, super endearing, and have great taste in film. Love you guys.
The specific "poncho" the man with no name wears is called a Serape.
TBR and Sam, as a kid I would walk around my neighborhood playing with the other boys, using my toy gun and taking out bad guys at every turn. All the while Ennio Morricone's soundtracks would be playing in my head and be whistling through my lips. How the hell could this music be this DAMN good.
Of all the aspects that make up this elemental piece of cinema, the story is one of the best constructed I've ever seen. Not one scene, shot, or plot point is wasted and it all leads up perfectly to one of the greatest endings in film history.
Eyyyyy. You did it! You should watch Yojimbo sometime, it’s the inspiration for “For a few dollars more” be well!
Mark 51:28. The Bridge! Spanish military men, had to rebuild it more than once, because the cameras set in place to record the destruction, would be destroyed too, so they couldn't be reused! It had to be built as a fully functional bridge too, just to be able to cross it safely in the meantime. So that construction crew got a lot of practice for their bridge work skills! 🤠
Do react to Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry series next👍🏼
That scene where the bottle rolls down the hill and lands by his head is famous. Iconic.
SIGH
I was I had been alive when this was released in the theater when this came out.
It must have been awesome to see the final shootout on a very large wide-screen with all those distant shots intercut with the close-ups.
One of the most intense gunfight ever staged onscreen.
When _Dollars_ Trilogy got dubbed into English, didn't they all get released in North America in 1967, with a few months in between each?
I saw ALL of Sergio Leone's "Dollar" movies in the theaters back then. It is/was great viewing, and, was populated by people who looked like those seen in Old West Dagerreotypes and Tintypes.
@@Wired4Life2 I just looked it up, the U.S. release dates were 1/18/67, 5/10/67 and 12/29/67.
So you are correct.
Crazy how all three were the same year. That must have been a great year going to the movie theater.
I'm just so glad you guys gave this iconic trilogy a shot. Most people now just turn their noses up at westerns so for you two to check them out means a awful lot! The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a true masterpiece finished with that iconic piece of music!
Eli Wallach so deserved an oscar for this one.
I think Tuco was definitely the hero of this movie, and there's something to be said there. The "Good" wasn't much more virtuous than the "Bad" because the reality is that everyone in the world is imperfect and "Ugly" in one way or another. Tuco embraces this role completely, he doesn't demonstrate good deeds the way Blondie comforts the dying soldier, nor does he kill people in overly cruel ways like Angel Eyes, he simply acts solely for himself.
Y'all definitely need to check out The Good, The Bad and The Ugly performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.
My favourite film of all-time, and the greatest movie soundtrack ever! I can put the headphones on, close my eyes and listen to this soundtrack, and visualise the entire film. No other soundtrack can offer that, because the Ennio Morricone's score tells as much of the story as the visuals in this film.
I love this movie so much. It's the best western of all times for me. One of the best movies in general. The actors are so great, the music is so fantastic and the storyline is so enjoyable.
The music on the graveyard is called "The Ecstasy of Gold" and is even played by Metallica on their concerts.
The song in the cemetery, “The Ecstasy of Gold” is featured in one or more Modelo Beer commercials.
This is the first movie I saw as a child with my family at the theater. I was 10. The main theme was all over the radio for weeks and my Mom bought the soundtrack so I heard this music a lot. Even though I had seen him as "Rowdy Yates" on TV, this was the first time I became aware of Clint Eastwood. A lot of good memories from this. Thanks for this video!
once upon a time in the west is also a legendary western. personaly i think it's the best of the no name serie
The Outlaw Josey Wales is Clint's true masterpiece.
Tuco is the man! Loved the scene when Tuco confronts his monk brother. You get some real insight into his difficult life. Riding away Blondie shows some understanding giving Tuco his cigar. Understated brilliant moment! Clint Eastwood pretty much got his start playing the affable cowhand Rowdy Yates on the Rawhide TV series (1959 - 1965). Sergio Leone saw in him the potential to play a mysterious "man with no name" in Italian-produced "spaghetti Westerns" mostly filmed in Spain. Blondie really was the man-with-no-name with that blank rock! Fun fact: That skeleton in the grave of "Arch Stanton" was real! A Spanish actress had her skeleton preserved and her family agreed to have it used in the movie because she would have wanted that! Gotta check out The Danish National Symphony performing the theme from The Good The Bad and the Ugly. There was also a great Netflix documentary called Sad Hill about modern movie fans finding the shooting location of the last scene in The Good The Bad and the Ugly and putting on a public screening of it there. Gotta check out the Clint Eastwood WW2 action/comedy Kelly's Heroes!
Fun fact: The song 'Tessellate' from the band 'alt-J' is somewhat about this movie, specifically the final showdown:
Three guns and one goes off
One's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins
Ennio Morricone's score is epic in these films.
Tarantino’s fav movie of all time!
Everything he does uses things from this film. The first scene with The Bad can be seen in Pulp Fiction
Tuco is so *human* with his faults, humour & greed. The scene with his brother (the priest) was heartbreaking. Blondie as the ‘angel’ & Sentenza as the ‘devil’ - with Tuco teetering between the two.
So happy you got around to this one! It's one of my favorite films.
This is one of the most amazing films ever. The way it morphs from being an adventure Western to being a powerful anti-war movie is so powerful. The scene where Tuco runs though the grave (your least favourite part - LOL) is actually deeply symbolic. He's essentially running wildly through life, towards death. The music of all of the films is the work of Ennio Morricone. I see that others have put it in the comments below, but Once Upon A Time in the West is possibly the pinnacle of his music, with the intense main theme (Jill's Theme) being one of the most haunting pieces of music ever made.
Other Clint Eastwood Westerns to see would be Pale Rider, Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter. The last one is particularly remarkable.
I'm glad that you're enjoying these!
Funfact? well: The Music theme played at the end on that cemetary is called "Extacy of gold". Its always the first music played in every metallica concert since 1981.
The greatest western ever made for me. I have it on blu ray. Sergio Leone gave it an operatic feel and it is truly epic. The ugly of the movie too is possibly the most human character. He is basically a survivor, whose main flaw seems to be that he is greedy. But he does come from a childhood of extreme poverty in Mexico and his family nearly died of it, so that is understandable. The most touching moment for me is when Blondy gives the dying soldier one last smoke. Love that scene. That of course is how he gets the shawl.
Terrance Hill and Bud Spencer - the TRINITY movies are a must see.
Great reaction to a great movie. Thanks guys.
This version has the added scenes which were later voiced by Clint and Eli when they were older. They had to do it that way because no audio was recorded on location. The dialog, music and sound effects were all added in post production.
Clint said he hated the cigars. They nearly made him vomit more than once.
Years ago I made some low budget horror films in Orlando with the same group of people. As we finished the 2nd one we had a cast dinner in a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant had a 3 piece mariachi band strolling around the room. When they came over to our long table they started playing the theme song to this movie. I looked one of my fellow actors in the eye and we both sang the Wah-Wahs for the mariachi band. We continued on with the grunts and other vocal parts.
The song, "The Trio" is quite honestly one of my favorite pieces of music ever. It's the final song of the three of them at the graveyard.
Now that you both have completed the man with no name trilogy, I highly recommend Antonio Banderas movies,
Desperado (1995) and Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003).
Quentin Tarantino makes a cameo as well as Steve Buscemi who shows up a lot of Quentin movies
You're forgetting El Mariachi. Desperado is definitely a sequel to that one, and referencing events from it, even though the main character is played by Carlos Gallardo. Bizarrely, even though his role is taken over by Antonio Banderas in Desperado (I guess Robert Rodriguez could afford bigger stars by then), Gallardo makes a small appearance in that as well. Almost as if, say, Sean Connery had made a cameo in a Roger Moore Bond movie.
Also, of course, in El Mariachi, the language is mainly Spanish, unlike the sequels which are mainly in English. Another reason that the first movie is often forgotten, I guess.
Desperado is a sequel of El Mariachi. El Mariachi was directed by Robert Rodriguez also, it just doesn't star Antonio Banderas.
@@Yngvarfo there is a English dubbed version on the TH-cam movies channel. I wasn't sure it was connected because it wasn't the same actor. in any case, I feel like this is a rare moment in which the sequels turned out better than the first in a series. I personally didn't feel compelled to watch the first in order to understand his motivation in desperado. They make it blatantly obvious as to why he's doing things
@@zipzeolocke2 - I like the fact that in the original, he gets involved in the mayhem based on a pure misunderstanding, rather than the vendetta of the sequel.
Once Upon a Time in the West is a must watch. IMO, it's Sergio Leone's masterpiece. Building on the previous westerns while honing his style and elevating the genre to the level of an operatic myth.
Fun fact, clint was offered the role of harmonica, but he did not want to be typecast so he passed on it, They hire Bronson 1, he was available, 2. he was cheap. I love the Sergios movies and the good bad and ugly is my favorite, but After watching bronson play the role, It is hard to see clint in that role. I am sure it would have been great but Once Upon A time is perfect for bronson.
Sergio was pissed about clint not wanting the part, so they had a falling out and have not spoken to each other for many, many years.
Peter fonda, playes a bad guy for the 1st time and Claudia Cardinale is awesome, and it is the first Sergio western Staring A woman and it will leave a huge impression after watching. Of course the composer Enno Marciano is at another level with the music
The scene with the chicken in the cave at @12:00 was filmed but was not included in the movie when it first came out. But in the 2000s it was added, and the actor who played Tuco was brought to do the voice over work again. Its why Tuco sounds different to all the rest of the movie, because the actor was much older by then.
This was a great movie and the Civil war in the west Texas and New Mexico area was quite intense, but little known. Leone's masterpiece however is "Once Upon a Time in the West." It has Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Claudia Cardinale, and Jason Robards. The opening scene is most likely the greatest opening scene of any western. Fonda, who almost never played the bad guy, is any even worse character than Angel Eyes. Each character has their own theme music as does the land itself. Just a fantastic film all around with two mysteries contained within it. I heartily recommend you watch it.
I think that you misread the scene at 35:00 where 'Blondie' covers the confederate soldier and gives him a puff off of his cigar. The scene was meant to show that Blondie possessed some humanity, he wasn't just a cold-blooded killer. He left his coat on the soldier and let him have a last smoke. Obviously, the soldier didn't need the poncho anymore, after all Blondie watched him die.
Extended version which has scenes that were never dubbed back in the 60s - which is why the Good and the Ugly suddenly sound older in some scenes. The Bad sounds the same, because Lee Van Cleef had died in the interim and they had to hire a soundalike - a very good one!
I just found your channel through the rocky reactions and then I just saw that you reacted to the man with no name trilogy and I love it!
The reason the music changes the scene is that Morricone, unlike most soundtrack composers, often makes the music based on the script, BEFORE the movie is shot, and actually tells the scenes with his music - and he was so good at that and understood Sergio Leone so well that Leone sometimes changed the pacing of the scene to match the music (rather than most film music being composed to match the pacing of the scene).
“The Searcher” starring John Wayne is arguably one of the best westerns out there. I also recommend “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence and “The Professionals” starring Lee Marvin. Oh, also “The Wild Bunch”.
Mark 48:59. The bubble bath didn't just provide cleansing and modesty, but concealed his pistol. Had it been a slapstick comedy though, instead of bullets, his pistol might have fired bubbles, like in "The Three Stooges". That may have inspired, Thanos, by the way, to do what he did to, Peter's gun. 🤔 (Insert theme from, "Peter Gunn"!)
IMO The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is the greatest Western of all time and one of the greatest films ever made. It's a masterpiece.
Great reaction to one of the greatest films and musical scores ever.
As you've seen the trilogy and Unforgiven now I would recommend watching High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales and Pale Rider if you wanted to check out more Clint westerns.
Hangem high
One of my all-time favourite movies!
My Name is Nobody (1973) with Terrence Hill is another great Spaghetti Western with more comedy elements or The Quick and the Dead (1995) is a really really good modern western. Awesome reactions!!
Oh memories! Going to see this at a matinee with a bunch of fellow preteens in a packed cinema full of kids. I loved Tuco. If you're going to shoot, shoot! Don't talk! I read the book on which the film is based and, given the length of the film, it is a surprisingly slim volume, less than 150 pages. A classic western.
About the bridge exploding: If you watch closely, they use two different kinds of fuses. There is a slow-burning one (the one they light before they run) and a quick burning one. The slow-burning fuse kept until they reached the shore, then the fast-burner lit up in an instant so all the bombs went off at exactly the same time.
