An underrated masterpiece from the greatest filmmaker of all time, with a score that's Morricone's finest
@eduardogomez2232 Жыл бұрын
If you think the title: "Once upon a time... the Revolution" everything makes sense in the movie. For me thats the perfect title of the movie, instead of "Duck you sucker" or "Fistful of dynamite". I'll forever thank Sergio Leone for his mexican characters, very accurate and human look of my people.

The saddest part of the whole story. John asks his friend to give him a light and lights the final short fuse, the fuse of his life... His final smile says " Duck you, sucker". I have never been sentimental but I was nearly to cry. It happened only twice and in both cases they were Coburn's characters. Both Coburn and Steiger were perfect here.

One of the saddest moments in a Sergio Leone film. And I think this marks the end of a period for Leone, before initiating work on what became his final ever work, Once Upon a Time in America. And until a week or so ago, I didn't even know this counts as a modern western!

Obviously, greatness is subjective so trying to argue who is the greatest is pointless. In the case of Sergio Leone however, it cannot be argued that no other director so clearly owned a style of film making that was so uniquely his own. From his reinvention of the American myth/west, the symbiotic relationship with Maestro Morricone, his incredible technical and cinematographic achievements to his mastery of creating stunning vignettes within the framework of each film right down to the very movement of his films, there is only One Leone. For these reasons and so many more Sergio Leone has influence a generation of film makers and surely he stands among the Greatest film makers of all time. Perhaps Once Upon a Time, the Revolution isn't The Master's greatest film but it surely contains some of his Greatest moments.

@Tripp19936 жыл бұрын
Although people use A Fistful of Dynamite and Duck, You Sucker as the title of this film, I prefer Once Upon a Time... the Revolution as the title of this film, as Sergio Leone wanted as this is film two of his second trilogy, the Once Upon a Time Trilogy. This is his last true western, here this is showing why most revolutions are worth nothing, and perfect timing to shed light on the Years of Lead in Italy, the years that claimed so many lives such as publishing head Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, who brought Doctor Zhivago and The Leopard to the world, and controversial filmmaker-journalist-novelist Pier Paolo Pasolini. Plus, it could be a theorized sequel to his breakthrough film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, like Leone's own Once Upon a Time in the West and Clint Eastwood's farewell to Westerns, Unforgiven. Eli Wallach almost portrayed Juan, but Rod Steiger got the job. Even though there are some problems like the anachronisms here, including the tanks and the firing squad style, the problems are what makes the story good and allegorical. After finishing this film, Leone did some odd jobs like helping out on films such as My Name Is Nobody, as he began work on what eventually evolved into his swan song and one of his many masterpieces, Once Upon A Time in America, while over the time between 1968 and through his death in April of 1989 and after, cinephiles and filmmakers slowly began to realize that he was a western film genius equivalent to John Ford and Howard Hawks.
@ElComendante19286 жыл бұрын
"This is his last true western" Modern western. I think Modern Western was "Once upon a time in America" too. Leone was Swan of Freedom. He represented his look on Freedom of the People in his movies. However, understanding that while people can be a free - from the point of view of logic and philosophy man can not - and this creates his dichotomy, which is so sentimental. Leone crossed such influential - in his time - existentialists and postmodernists with his view of human existence. He is genius for West filmmakers just like Kurosava is genius for Asian filmmakers. Both are Genius for film art.
@Tripp19936 жыл бұрын
Even though you spelled Kurosawa wrong, your reply is the perfect way to put the feel of this film. What Leone's Once Upon a Time trilogy has in common with each other is that they're brilliant hybrids of style and substance, and the stories are standalone yet each one is unique in their own way. Once Upon a Time in the West is Leone's operatic farewell to westerns co-written with Sergio Donati, soon-to-emerge filmmaker Dario Argento, and later-controversial filmmaker, Bernardo Bertolucci. Once Upon a Time... the Revolution is set during the Mexican Revolution, Leone's criticism of Zapata Westerns, a sub-genre of Spaghetti Westerns about the Mexican Revolution, which he used to not only show contemporary Italy in a way but also show the divine paradox of freedom. Once Upon a Time in America is not a western, but a kind of art-house gangster film, which is a long one, plus it's also a brilliant examination of a gangster coming to terms with his past as a ruthless criminal between 1920 and 1968, sort of his own version of The Godfather: Part II. Plus, the last film is adapted from a novel by Harry Grey, and he gave his heart and soul to make that film. So, I think the first two films were like experiments for finding new ways for him in order to get ready to make the third, yet the film went through many writers, studios, and actors before it could even get made. I saw all three of them in their full versions on television film channels. I agree with Alex Cox, Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese on one thing: Sergio Leone deserves to be in the pantheon of filmmakers. Thank you for the reply!

Leone wanted this film to be called ''Duck You Sucker"" thinking that this was a everyday term used in America and as hard as everyone tried to explain to him that hardly anyone used that term in America or anywhere else they could not talk him out of it.

@DeadbeatDuder4 жыл бұрын
I disagree on some points. First of all, "A Fistful of Dynamite" and "Once Upon a Time... The Revolution!" are unofficial titles given by distributors to ride on the gravy train using the success the Trilogy of the Dollar and Leone's previous movie had, respectively. In Italian it is named "Giù la Testa" because they did not let him name it "Giù la Testa, Coglione!" (down with your head, you moron!) which is the exact thing John says to Juan before blowing his carriage up, so that is the only true title. Secondly, it was not meant as a trilogy, Leone did not even want to direct this movie, but to write it only and give it to Bogdanovich first, Peckimpah then and lastly Donati to direct, but for various and different reasons the thing could not happen. Steiger said he wouldn't act unless directed by Leone himself and he, who wanted to give up on westerns and concentrate on "Once Upon a Time in America" reluctantly agreed. Glad it went this way, as it is my favourite Leone movie. The trilogy shite was again artificially made up by producers and whatnot, given the success the Dollar's Trilogy had. In the third place the message is not revolutions ain't worth a thing. That is what Juan says as he's seen the harsh truth of history from the lowest place possible and is disillusioned about reality. But the ideal of Revolution stands, it's men who are weak and often corrupt, turning a true occasion of social justice and of change from an unbearable situation for the weakest into egoistical personal profit or an utter failure. This becomes clear to the weary John before he forgives Villega instead of killing him like his friend Sean. Lastly, the Lead Years have nothing to do with revolution. It was a counter-revolution with which corrupt people in power tried to create a fertile environment for antidemocratic power and control, suffocating the new ideas of freedom and social justice which were spreading among students and laborers.
