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.
Copyright is Fun!
hey this link doesnt work
@@svizac69 *rofl*
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.
“are u ready to learn what a western masterpiece is?”

It's nice to see another Ralph Recommends!
scrumptious diddle it’s nice to see another upload
scrumptious diddle facts
scrumptious diddle I concur.
Ralph i thought your favourite western was A Million Ways To Die In The West!
Well, he rates other movies as if that film doesn't exist. It wouldn't be fair to the movie industry because that film is so perfect, no film has ever or will ever come close to it.
I heard Buster Scruggs was a million ways to die in the west gone wrong
he gets the two movies mxed up sometimes because they are really similar

Italians made the best movies about American Gunslingers and the old west
Italians made the best movies.
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.
@@ednicholson7839 Two, Leone and Corbucci.
@@ednicholson7839 Nah.
Leone, Corbucci, Sollima, Valerii foram os melhores neste gênero. O suficiente para reformular o western americano e influenciar os cineastas de Hollywood.
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.
Phil Michaels ^ This! Must have been a major shock to the audience. But here, those clear blue eyes just look perfectly chilling, like a snake.
should´ve done the same with John Wayne.
Yes indeed! I'd like to think the Fonda casting was also a sly Italian 'Fuck you'to the westerns of yore, which generation Henry was very much part of. Not even mentioning Once upon a time..is basically an allegory about sticking it to the man. The elite treating folks bad for profit and the disadvantaged coming back for retribution is a story of all time and now (2020) especially topical.
@@steamboatwill3.367 John Wayne was too protective of his image to do anything outside of his box. That’s why John Wayne was a disappointment as an actor. He cared too much about what his audience would think.
@@dagsouleyedblue407 it was definitely on purpose. Henry Fonda talks about it on TH-cam.
"This is my favourite Ennio Morricone Score"
That's basically me everytime I watch a film with a score by Ennio Morricone.
Facts
"This is my favourite Ennio Morricone score...ᵐᵃʳᵒⁿᵉ"
that cracked me the fuck up.
Bronson: _"You bring a horse for me?"_
Baddies: (Looks at 3 horses for 3 badguys) _"Seems we're shy one horse, hehe"_
Bronson: _"You brought 2 too many"_
BOOM!
Haha yes that was a quote from movie yes haha
Bruh the look on their faces sealed the deal!
Wow Ralph sounded so sarcastic throughout this whole review he must have _hated_ this movie
movie of the decade Sleepless actually
@@xtzyshuadog They got T!
MJR Schneider I agree, the movie didn’t have either Charles Stiles nor Turkish Airlines. He’ll probably rate it 0/10
Goes without saying really
Saw "Once Upon A Time In-" and thought you were gonna talk about Once Upon A Time In America, one of my favorite movies ever (which I see you've rated 5/5 on Letterboxd)
Yeah wow very unknown small indie gems no one has ever heard of
He was close
@@sjorshoeijmans5442 actually most people I've talked to have never heard of Once Upon A Time In America, so it certainly isn't as popular as The Godfather or Goodfellas
@@JakeRanney I think its length may have something to do with that. It's a powerful watch, but damn is it quite a sit.
@@JakeRanney No movie is a popular as The Godfather and Goodfellas.
This is probably my second favorite western of all time. Right after The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
My man
Same. I think I became a different man after watching TGTBATU's intro scene.
A true MASTAPIECE
Leone was really ahead of his time (even though he kinda ripped off his first dollars movie from Akira Kurosawa but whatever.)
You know a film is great when you get goosebumbs by just watching a review of it. The sound design in this film alone, OH MY GOD
I'm a simple man. I see Ralph, I add to watch later and leave an unoriginal comment.
here's another unoriginal comment: break it down for me
@@TheCheesybeef GUACAMOLE NIGGA PENIS
this movie has one of the best villain entrances of all time
Agreed
Even now it gives me chills
Agreed, along with best final duels.
Definetly, just the shot of Frank and his henchmen coming out of their cover and slowly walking towards the boy is stuck in my head.
now that you mentioned my name....
My favorite musical motif is the theme that accompanies the railroad tycoon's desire to see the ocean -- the completion of his goal -- and his final, poignant hallucination of reaching out to touch the water. It was so beautiful. Masterful cinema.
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.
i saw this movie so many times as little kid and it was always amazing. the line "two, too many" marks a moment so badass it stuck with me.
yeah, i'm old.
My favorite badass moment was when Cheyenne walks up to the bar with cuffs on him, less than a minute after everyone heard a gunshot outside, looks the bartender in the eyes, and just says, "Gin".
And then opens it with his teeth, because his hands are still cuffed.
Western's always have the greatest soundtracks. Change my mind.
The man hanging on Harmonicas shoulders in his flashbacks is his brother. When Frank pits the harmonica in Harmonicas mouth he tells him..."Keep your loving brother happy"
_"Keep your loving brother happy"........._
You know what this western needs? Seth McFarlane.
said no one ever
This but unironically
Matt M does the tone of my voice indicate irony to you????
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 My man.
@@matthewpunk2012 u be like "this is good but needs more farts"
This is my absolute favourite movie of all time. 100% perfect in every way. And to believe it was released in the late 60s is fucking ridiculous. Leone and Morricone combined r the greatest filmmaking duo of all time
yup .. I've seen films old and new and this is the one that always draws me back
Ralph running towards me at the end of the video brought a tear to my eye.
It was simply epic
Good wide shot
8:03: That little 'madonn' got me for some reason. lol
I absolutely adore this movie. My dad and I watch it at least once a year, and it's jaw-dropping every single time. Thanks for sharing :)
I tried it too we had a lot of fun but it got awkward during the sex scenes and then got really awkward when he started molesting me
Yeah this movie was great.
Harmonica's main theme is a thing of beauty.
The way it increasingly gets louder and eerie as if someone is crying in despair and anger.
Then at the end you see why Harmonica had so much pain in his eyes.
Charles Bronson was born for this role.
RIP Ennio, a legend forever!
I'm so glad you started ralph recommends, I'm getting tired of cynical film channels on TH-cam
This
Red Dead Redemption 2's Soundtrack definitely took a page from Once Upon A Time in the West, that's what drove me to watch this movie!
Gabriel Handstand Blumpkin Silva It’s influence is even clearer in the first game’s soundtrack. Also, Arthur’s default outfit reminds me a lot of Harmonica’s.
RDR1 is definitely the more Ennio Morricone-Sergion Leone based game of the two, which is what also makes it superior, among other aspects.
Definitely play both games though.
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.
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.
@@dogeshark204 Yes, this scene is fantastic....Leone really put in so much effort in all the characters.
Watching this film on ketamine was the best cinema experience I’ve ever had
I first saw this movie when I was 10 and I was immediately amazed by it. It's been one of my favorites since.
Sergio and Ennio are true masters of their craft
But don't you think it's slow and predictable
Watched this with my grandpa when I was 10 it was the most tense shit I’ve ever seen, especially at that age.
The music in this one is spectacular.
Just finished it... Speechless. Oh my god what a movie. Shit films these days have they're uses to me, to go back and explore all these old classics and really appreciate them.
Love this film. The use of editing, particular diegetic editing with the score, is sooooo good.
exaclty..masterpiece!!!!!!! and Morricone music EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched about 2 minutes of this before I left the video to go watch this movie. All I have to say is wow. What a great film, in so many ways. Thanks for the recommendation Ralph! I'm back to hear what you have to say about it lol
I saw this a bunch of times on the TV when I was younger.
I remember liking it but maybe it's time to go back and see if I like it even more now.
I love hearing Ralph talk.
You could describe Bee movie with this level of intensity and passion, and I'd watch it immediately
Wait - is there really anybody who watches RalphSepe and does NOT know this masterpiece?
My man. Still one of, if, THE BEST Westeen ever made. Gritty, emotional, funny, and a brilliant take on the beginning of train travel. And Ennio Morricones score. My god. Still his best work.
I think it has also be said that the technology of the day was perfect for a gritty western. You just can't do something like this today, everything is too clean, even with someone like Tarantino, it's just not the same even though he is the perfect director for movies like this today.
I agree with you movies today are just too clean. I miss the greediness of these old films.
Best thing about this video? All the younger folks appreciating older films and discussing a movie before they were born. I can remember when stuff from the past was considered passe, but now, a lot of younger guys and gals actually know about these no longer lost masterpieces. Glad you made this, cheers!
This is one of my absolute favorite films alongside Leon, Blade Runner and the film I'm about to mention. I highly recommend you check out "Duck, You Sucker!" aka "Fistfull of Dynamite", or my favorite title, "Once Upon a Time, a Revolution". Sergio's most underrated film
My personal favorite western
Don't you think ouatitw is slow and predictable
@@gairickdam18 He clearly doesn't.
Easily one of the best films of all time. Probably the best Western ever made.
Best western ever made!
Seeing Ralph talk about Charles Bronson makes me want to see him review the Death Wish movies
Only the First One or Hard Times which is his best film.
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.
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.
*_Ralph is my favourite gay furry._*
*gay furry little person recording podcasts from a vent.
This movie is pure perfection! The last duel between Bronson and Fonda is probably the most epic scene ever.
I think the reason I like this video series is because you get to see the genuine passion you have for the art of filmmaking . Your negative reviews are very entertaining but it’s nice to see you be positive from time to time .
Still one of my absolute favourite movies. It lasts forever, and yet, you never have the feeling that it's wasting time.
One of the most iconic lines in the movie is “keep your lovin’ brother happy” so, imma assume it’s his brother
I love how the orchestral score plays into the main twist of the movie, similar to For a Few Dollars More. Just... masterful.
I've always hoped you or yms would talk about Once upon a time in the west
This movie probably is in my top 3 favorite films of all time
9:30 "Courtroom drama"
LOL, that's an auction.
This is my favorite Western as well. Such a delicious masterpiece.
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.
Don't need to watch the video 10/10 recommendation. Good job mate.
All of my favorite Western movies take place near the end of the Wild West, around the turn of the century. There's something about the closing of the frontier, with all the associated upheavals and nostalgia for less civilized times, that makes the plots of those movies more interesting to me. This movie, The Shootist, My Name Is Nobody, Five Card Stud, these are all fantastic films.
But this one is definitely the best. Everyone in it is brilliant. Jason Robards is gritty and intimidating, Charles Bronson is tough and heroic, Claudia Cardinale is a spitfire with a really sad backstory, and I don't know who played Morton, but his death scene broke me up more than anything else in the movie. This is all without mentioning Henry Fonda, who plays one of the most believably chilling bad guys in cinema. I would be hard-pressed to find a film with a better cast.
Morton is played by italian actor Gabriele Ferzetti. Notably he was the main ally and father-in-law of James Bond in the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Amazing film, Sergio Leone is my favorite director and Once Upon a Time in America is my favorite film of all time. and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is my 2nd favorite film.
I watched this last night. So good.
As soon as I read the title I literally FliPEd oUt! Great film ALL around. a favorite for sure.
The backstory for Harmonica, the choice to reveal it so close to the end, the music, everything about the duel in this movie makes it, to me, the best cinematic duel ever.
YES. This has been a fav of mine for many moons
Just saw this film last week. One of my favorite westerns.
Favourite movie of all time
It would appear that Italian names are the only names Ralph can pronounce correctly.
Nope, he mispronounced "Cardinale".
@@Daneelro Oops.
Excellent summary. Well done.
The best spaghetti Western EVER.
That score still gives me chills
This is probably my favorite movie of all time
I was so excited to see Ralph was covering this movie. This film is a master piece, the story is great, the soundtrack is at once beautiful and haunting, the story is incredible. One of, if not the greatest westerns ever made.
I now know where the intro from knights of cydonia comes from thanks ralph
I just got the spiderman audi ad from this youtube video. Did not disappoint, rofl. First ad over 5seconds I've watched in full.
Anytime Ralph recommends a movie I'm like:
"Break it down for me."
I love this freaking movie. It has one of the best introductions of a movie villain I've ever seen. The characters are great, the music is fantastic, the camera movement is above its time and the story is awesome. But that's just my opinion
when i was a kid and watched this movie, i never more forgot henry fonda e his cold look. what a main character he was. the best western film, side by side with GBU.
Aside from his Dollars trilogy, I agree in that "Once Upon a Time in the West" is Leone's greatest western film, bar none.
YAY! SO glad you covered this. Hang 'em High, next!
Yes! So glad you covered this, the extended cut edition makes it one of my favourite Westerns. The direction, photography and music are effing sublime.
9:36
Damn that lighting is perfect
I wonder how annoying it was to get it right
Possibly my favorite film. Great to see some mainstream recognition for it in 2019
jack elam is actually my great grandfather so it’s great to see that one of your videos includes him in it. thank you for that
He should have brought an extra horse. :)
I'm 21 my dad used to take me to rent movies when I was a kid and showed me all the classics and one day I showed him this one and it was one of the best cinematic experiences of my life along with watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly with him for the first time
one of my top 5 movies
Hands down my favorite western, from the cinematography to the main score.
But don't you think it's slow and predictable
I've been loving this Ralph Recommends series. Keep up the excellent videos.
I love you Ralph, thank for this one, i was waiting for it
I love this film so much.
Anyone ever wondered how that stuntman was after that fall btw?
So glad you’re still making videos
you're channel is one of my favorites because you have a genuine passion for film and a drive. I respect that a lot especially with how young you are. Thank you.
Happy to see someone talk about this legendary film.
This has been my favorite western and top ten movies since I was 12!!!
