      Ralph, I get it that you worship this movie. But I think that you are fanboying too much. They didn't frame it so perfectly so you don't see their chins in close up shots. You don't see their chin and top of their hats because the movie was cropped so it could be shown in ultra wide format (21:9). Brilliant movie none the less.

      It was actually shot in 2.35:1, the preferred format of Sergio Leone. This is pretty close to 21:9 (which is actually 64:27, or ~2.37:1). 21:9 was developed in order to be a close approximation of the old cinema formats, like 2.35:1 and CinemaScope.

    One thing you didn’t touch on in this: Henry Fonda’s casting.
    He was typecast as a good guy actor pretty much his whole career, and this was his first villainous role (or one of his first in a long time). He was so damn good at it. I can only imagine the shock that audiences had when he showed up on screen and shot that kid.

      Just one Italian: Leone; and his first two westerns are good but not great. Fistful of Dollars is a loose remake of Kurosawa samurai satire: Yojimbo. Not as good as Yojimbo but it does give us a great new kind of western hero and star. The rest of the spaghetti western filmmakers and their films can be fun but eye rolling too.

    When looking at Leone's most famous movies we can see how important the movie's name is.
    "Once upon a time in the west" is a somewhat boring title and few americans know about the movie while "The good, the Bad and the ugly" is a fucking great title making it Leone's most famous Western in the US.
    In Germany "the good, the Bad and the ugly" has a very generic title (two glorious scoundrels) while "once upon a time in the west" is called "Play me the song of death". This very unusual and memorable name makes it the best known western and one of the best known movies in Germany. "Play me song of death" or variations of it have even become a saying in Germany so everyone has heard of it.

    For some reason Morton is my favourite character in the film.
    In a way he is a main villain just as much as Frank since the plot is pretty much set in motion on his orders and with his money, but it is interesting to see how the whole situation spirals out of his control due to Frank doing things beyond what Morton is comfortable with and struck with guilt over it.

    • @dogeshark204
      @dogeshark204 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I never saw Morton as an unreedemable person. He always complains about frank's way of doing things. He hated that he killed Jill's family, and in one point in the film he says that he doesn't want more killings and that he wants to negotiate with Jill. I always felt bad for him in his last scene. All he wanted to do was to get done with the situation and retire to the ocean. But all he gets is close to a small piece of water. It's kinda sad.

    Once Upon a Time in the West is by far my favorite western, probably my favorite movie ever. I remember watching it with my dad when I was a kid, and him telling me how he'd watch it with his dad. Apart from it being a masterpiece, this movie has a very strong emotional factor for me, it feels good to see it get so much love.

    The soundtrack for The Place Beyond The Pines is a pretty underrated soundtrack if you liked the composer mentioned at the beginning of the video.

    This is also one of my favorite movies! And might be my favorite Morricone score. Leone retired from making westerns after this. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was made two years prior. Great video!

    I'm glad to see some appreciation for this movie, the cinematography especially. My favorite shot is near the end when Frank returns to Morton's train after a gunfight- As he enters the first car, the camera stays outside and pans along the side of the train with Frank as he walks through it, unseen. Only his footsteps are heard while the bodies and stray horses quietly drift by during the shot. Absolutely worth seeing this movie just for the beautiful camera work!

    I love how the orchestral score plays into the main twist of the movie, similar to For a Few Dollars More. Just... masterful.

    Thank you, Ralph. This is one of my favorite films that I've ever seen and it makes my heart glad to have it recognized. I won't watch your video because I have my own opinions about this work of art. But I'm sure it's a good one.
    Just a little tidbit that I like to tell people about this movie: Did you ever notice that Frank and Cheyenne never actually meet in person throughout the whole movie? It's just so brilliant!

  • @michu8633
    @michu8633 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Funfact: In Germany this movie is called "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod" which basicly translates to "Play me the song of death"....it's not that cheesy in german forreal, I actually like it a lot. It also replaces Fonda's line "Keep your loving brother happy" in the final flashback.
