I love this scene. It gives so much more depth to Angel Eye's character. Even he is not completely without humanity and is horrified by brutality of war.
Angel Eyes probably just sees war as a stupid and pointless, but he's not above profiting from it as he does while he robs Confederate POWs as the Union POW camp's deputy commandant. If people are going to be dumb, may as well use them to his advantage. Angel Eyes is not some nice pacifist.
i remember about a year ago i watched the dollars trilogy with my grandpa. there were a lot of scenes that really had an impact on me throughout all of those films, but this one for whatever reason made me really appreciate my grandpa and how much i really loved him. even when i won’t have my grandpa, i will always have these films.
I love how at 0:43 Angel Eyes emerges from the shadow and I'd like to believe it's a metaphorical representation of his humanity briefly appearing while he witnesses the horrors of war and this adds an extra layer to his character that says the idea of good/evil is not always black and white. I believe Hollywood wasn't really keen on the idea of an antagonist not being pure evil which is why I believe they removed this scene from the movie not to mention America at the time was in the Vietnam War and any anti-war movies were not very well tolerated particularly the ones where there were no bad guys. The camera work at 1:05 is one of the best I've seen in movies. So simple yet so insightful and the ambient design and set helps convey the idea of "war is the only evil here" beautifully.
The music is so perfect. The sad, haunting strings and melody, speaking of sadness and death of the present, while in the background, as though from the past, before all the death has begun, the bugles and horns play merry, cheerful and hopeful little tunes. This is the most perfect piece of music I ever heard. mostly because of how it captures the whole scene without even really needing anything more
it s unbelievable that a director who never visited the united states of america and didn t know any english at all, depicted the modern american history so perfectly, way better than his american collagues, due to his knowledge of history alone....amazing
Because, as italian, he knew very well the distance between heroic myth of war and sad reality, he deconstructed the myth in order to humanise the narrative.
Right and it makes it all the better that Lee Van Cleef is the man that walks the scene. Van Cleef is in my opinion the best western actor. I know most prefer John Wayne and Eastwood. But Van Cleef was just much deeper
This movie holds up flawlessly to this day and will continue to hold up for decades to come. The movies made today will die off as the weak trends which caused them and they will be remembered with embarrassment.
Out of all the scenes that got cut from the American version, this should've stayed in the film. This scene is perfect; the scenery, the cinematography, the music and the dialogue.
1:07 that piece of textile on that chair , the wrecked carriage wheels 😳😳😳😳 this is directing a movie from a different dimension , Thank you Sergio and thank you Ennio 😞
I love scenes like this. It takes its time. It shows wordlessly what's happening. It allows what's on screen to be the experience. "Show, don't tell" is a much more powerful rule than people realize.
This scene is amazing but I can imagine why they removed it. It would've been too confusing to see Angel Eyes showing his human side here and then commiting atrocities against the prisoners of war who might as well have been the same people he felt sorry for in here later. The prison mentioned by the whisky drinking soldier is the POW camp seen later in the movie. It might've looked like a piece of naive writing to some
Do you notice that it also includes the camera moving in an arc around the actor, somewhat like the famous scene which people liked so much in "The Matrix", made 30+ years later... :-)
The scene really shows that the ‘main’ plot is really secondary and that American history is beautiful and tragic. America belongs to those that are connected to these great events, and that is reflected in so many of these solemn scenes.
@Stabacs Honestly I don't know. Maybe they felt it would not effect the story if it was omitted. I think this scene added more to Lee Van Cleef's character and the ugliness of war.
this scene was taken out because the film was too long,you couldnt play these long films in theatres in those days because you could only play the one film,not multiple times because it would be a long night,.the sound was lost and redubbed for the new edition,lee van cleef was dead by this time and another actor dubbed his voice.beautiful scene and score here.
@@Jigger2361 interesting, and not that I don't believe your or anything (sounds very plausible), but you got any source for that or is just an assumption?
Sergio Leone Ennio morricone and lee van cleef at their very best and just think thanks to the jerks at United artist it only took 35 years to see this scene
This scene is not just an anti-war scene.Douglas Mortimer was a former colonel of the Carolinas.When he enters the fort he remembers his past as a soldier.This scene is of outmost importance to show us that he became bad out of necessity because soldier's life destroyed him...
You do realise Douglas Mortimer was supposed to be a distinguished Confederate veteran, right? Angel Eyes even disguises himself as a Sergeant in the Union Army for a time in this film. His attire may be similar in For a Few Dollars More, but Lee Van Cleef played two different characters in these films.
+Imperial Dutchman D. Mortimer, the best shot in the Carolinas, was Van Cleef's character in _"For a Few Dollars More"_, not in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" ----------------------------------------------------------- Though yes, good comment.... Van Cleef's character in TGTBTU was not without remorse... Note that when Blondie teams with him, on the way to Sad Hill Cemetery... they witness the Union having a spy, or traitor of some sort, dragging his coffin behind him to the place of execution (a firing squad). Even Angel Eyes has a tinge of regret here, as he looks at Blondie for a reaction.
It is a significant scene and a pity it didn't make the cut for the original release. The dog is a nice touch, as are the confederate troops in an authentic state of damage , disarray, and semi-starvation.Not sure whether Angel-eyes is appalled at the carnage or whether he is considering the strong possibility that Bill Carson has also become a victim (which indeed turns out to be the case)
I choose to believe Angel Eyes was genuinely appalled, Chef Van Lee is a fantastic actor and portrays a lot of very subtle emotions with his eyes alone in this scene. The way his eyes slowly move over the scene instead of snap from person to person like he's just taking it all in instead of looking for something, that very subtle shake of his head, and ultimately how when he's about to walk away his head jerks slightly to the side but his eyes stay on the soldiers for a second before he finally turns away.
@Cougar2009100 you mean cacophony my friend. But that means harsh, discordant sounds that are meaningless together, which this piece definitely does not show. But yes I agree it's a brilliant piece.
Lee Van CLEEF. Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone should have tracked down whoever at United Arttists decided to cut this exquisite scene from The Good The Bad and the Ugly in 1966 so people couldn’t see it until 2003 Track him down Sergio Leone style like 3 banditos and send him or her to Sad Hill in Burgos right next to Arch Stanton forever and ever
i think that this scene is not absolutely necessary... my first time i have seen the good the bad and the ugly without this scene so it s quite strange for me :) ..and there are more powerful and anti-war scenes during the film

+Jaakko Keskinen Yes, true... revealed that other places also.
Jaakko Keskinen I wouldn't say he's horrified. More like disgusted.
Jaakko Keskinen you are spot on! Very moving scene.

@@PaulvonOberstein Indeed.

That’s really great man
My grandmother and I just watched this one for the first time together and my grandpa has passed in April definitely feel the energy
In my opinion, this is the best movie of all time.
Yes, it is
Definitely this scene alone was ridiculous
I absolutely adore this scene. and the music by ennio underlines it so well. powerful stuff.
So powerful
Gives me goosebumps. Lee Van Cleef, the music, the camera work. It's perfect
Same first time seeing wow
Can’t believe this was a deleted scene. My favorite movie of all time a true special goat

Really this scene was deleted ? It was in the version I saw. How sad to delete such a beautiful scene. My favourite one to be honest
The music is so perfect.
The sad, haunting strings and melody, speaking of sadness and death of the present, while in the background, as though from the past, before all the death has begun, the bugles and horns play merry, cheerful and hopeful little tunes.
This is the most perfect piece of music I ever heard. mostly because of how it captures the whole scene without even really needing anything more
I love that a lot of the bugle tones you here are actually military calls and signals, or at least attempt to mimic them
And thank the late Ennio Morricone for that
@@doodlebobthe1st313him and Sergio were genius
@@jummyran OH yeah. Now there I can agree with you.
it s unbelievable that a director who never visited the united states of america and didn t know any english at all, depicted the modern american history so perfectly, way better than his american collagues, due to his knowledge of history alone....amazing
Because, as italian, he knew very well the distance between heroic myth of war and sad reality, he deconstructed the myth in order to humanise the narrative.
He was also told allot and allot by Clint Eastwood and lee van cleef and many more . Serigio Leone did not know too much .
a true great of cinema, possibly the greatest movie ever.
lee van cleef was born to do westerns
In my opinion the greatest scene in a western
Me too
Right and it makes it all the better that Lee Van Cleef is the man that walks the scene. Van Cleef is in my opinion the best western actor. I know most prefer John Wayne and Eastwood. But Van Cleef was just much deeper
When movies were stunning without any computer magic.
True
Too much VFX today
This movie holds up flawlessly to this day and will continue to hold up for decades to come. The movies made today will die off as the weak trends which caused them and they will be remembered with embarrassment.
Every shot is this movie is like a beautiful painting
Exactly
that music and van der cleef's expressions .....damn!
Lee vàn cleef
One of the best pieces of music in film ever written. RIP Maestro Morricone, you were a messiah of composition (neck and neck with John Williams)
You know a movie is great it’s nearly 60 years old and still being rembered
This is one of the best scenes in this great movie..
Rip Ennio Morricone ❤️ your light shines bright !
Out of all the scenes that got cut from the American version, this should've stayed in the film. This scene is perfect; the scenery, the cinematography, the music and the dialogue.
The song was bone chilling in this
1:07 that piece of textile on that chair , the wrecked carriage wheels 😳😳😳😳 this is directing a movie from a different dimension ,
Thank you Sergio and thank you Ennio 😞
Probably the best most touching scene in the whole film and its a deleted scene on the main film....the music and everything for it was superb.
I love scenes like this. It takes its time. It shows wordlessly what's happening. It allows what's on screen to be the experience. "Show, don't tell" is a much more powerful rule than people realize.
Cinematography of this movie is art
Extrordinary Piece of Music! Reminds me of all those fond memories of Family & Friends who are lost & gone
Something about this scene. It's just so calming. I think it's the music.
my ancestor was in the 3rd Texas Calvary Regiment at the Battle of Glorieta Pass.
Best Western ever made :€)
Yes I agree
This soundtrack is epic.
Song is titled
The carriage of spirits-Ennio Morricone.
This scene is amazing but I can imagine why they removed it. It would've been too confusing to see Angel Eyes showing his human side here and then commiting atrocities against the prisoners of war who might as well have been the same people he felt sorry for in here later.

I love this song so much !! The synth chord used at 2:05 reminds me of the bridge to “Joanna” by kool and the gang🤓
Great scene and music. I like how he walks in through a hole blown in the wall, not just a door.
Do you notice that it also includes the camera moving in an arc around the actor, somewhat like the famous scene which people liked so much in "The Matrix", made 30+ years later... :-)
Movie Magic! This Mystical & powerful scene gets me every time, It was cut out for the US film production with its release in '67
You can tell this really had an impact on his character
Very beautiful movie.
the brass at 1:52 combined with the lighting change
Kevlexicon Chills.
Simply awesome...extraordinary...EPIC

This film isn't meant to make a grown man cry. But this scene sure does.
Every few Generations comes a Soundtrack that makes Movie Magic,
@Stabacs
Honestly I don't know. Maybe they felt it would not effect the story if it was omitted. I think this scene added more to Lee Van Cleef's character and the ugliness of war.
This scene and the one with the half soldier made Angel Eyes more human.

Now that I think about it, the amount of time between the Civil war and this movie is the same between WWI and now
Rip ennio, beautiful scene only made possible by your talent
This scene wasn’t in my Dad’s laser disc cut !!(hey, remember those??) this is so neat
i love this scene!
This scene was done perfectly
Epic scene.
This scene was deleted from the american version. Great background music.
..yup, it reminded the American public about the losses stacking up in Vietnam at the time so it had to go
@@Jigger2361 interesting, and not that I don't believe your or anything (sounds very plausible), but you got any source for that or is just an assumption?
Lee Van Cleef was a bad ass!

Cool the way you can hear the civil war canons in the distance.

awesome! did any relics get passed down in your family?

SPOILERS
SPOLIERS
This scene makes the ending a little bit sadder for me- I feel bad that Angel Eyes dies.
I think angel eyes was just a mercenary, he did what they paid him to do, but he was not a psychopath
I wish all three had lived and that they would have divvied the money up three ways.
I don’t know what the name of the song is
The Strong

What is this music called?
The Strong, from Ennio Morricone
@@marceloho1984 thank you sir
what is the name of the song that plays into this scene?
Name is the strong from ennio morricone's composition of the good the bad and the ugly
Chris England “I’ll Forte”...”The Strong”. You can purchase the entire soundtrack on Amazon. It’s a masterwork of Ennio Morricone.
The Strong
lol 3:50
i think that this scene is not absolutely necessary... my first time i have seen the good the bad and the ugly without this scene so it s quite strange for me :) ..and there are more powerful and anti-war scenes during the film
