Sergio Leone's so-called "Dollars trilogy" culminating with The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly is quintessential for the Spaghetti Western genre and really helped redefine Westerns as a whole. Much to the credit of Leone's directing and Ennio Morricone's scoring, as you point out. Prior to these, Westerns largely had very white hat/black hat characters with little in the way of subtly or nuance, and overly mythologized the Old West for much of the US. As to the coolness and general badassery projected by Clint Eastwood, I defer back to a quote about him from Leone: "As an actor, he has two expressions: with and without the hat." 😊

In childhood, I liked Clint Eastwood in this. As a young man, I liked the work of Eli Wallach. As an older man, the unabashed corpulent capitalist crassness of Lee Van Cleef is what I like. Specifically, because of how little screen time he has, but how big he plays it. He needs no back story. It's all up to him on the face (his face) to show it without saying it.

@@MrValentineReacts I have to confess that Clint Eastwood was never "my guy", but I do love his character here. I especially do love how generous it was of him to kind of yield the screenplay to the brilliant energy and talent that was Eli Wallach, whose movie this is, if you can say it "belongs" to one of the three more than the others. But my heart belongs to the cold, calm, ruthless Lee van Cleef, who, it was said, was hired by Leone because "his eyes burn through the screen". For more of van Cleef and Eastwood together, watch the second of the trilogy, "For A Few Dollars More". They do not play the same characters.

Sergio Leone wasn't one to give away praise. He said of Eastwood that he had two expressions, with or without a hat. And when other Italian directors started making their own Spaghetti Westerns he said he was now the father of a genre, but also father "to a thousand sons of bitches". Yet he called Morricone not just his musician but his co-writer, explaining that he had reached a point where he would substitute scenes with dialogue for his music. Their collaboration until Leone's death in 1984 is one of best in cinema history between director and composer. Only Hitchcock and Bernard Herrman or David Lean and Maurice Jarre understood each other so well.

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig." The best western of all time, hands down. That bridge scene sometimes gives me nightmares. I dream that men are still fighting over the bridge, completely unaware or despite that the Civil War has long been over. I understand it is weird for someone like me to fixate on, but the Civil War is a hobby interest of mine and such a meaningless battle is horrifying to me. Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood wore the same poncho through all three "Man With No Name" movies without replacement or cleaning. Skeleton Key Fact: The skeleton found by Tuco (Eli Wallach) inside the wrong coffin at Sad Hill cemetery was a real human skeleton. A deceased Spanish actress wrote in her will she wanted to act even after her death. Prequel Fact: This is a "prequel" to A Fistful Of Dollars (1964) and For A Few Dollars More (1967), as it is set during the American Civil War while the other two movies are set afterward. Towards the end of this movie, Blondie (Clint Eastwood) acquires his trademark poncho. It works when you take all three movies as a whole. Historical Fact: Though no specific year or date is stated in this movie, at least part of it takes place during the New Mexico Campaign of 1862. This is confirmed when the hotelkeeper and Tuco mention the retreating Confederate General Sibley (real-life Henry H. Sibley) and the advancing Union Colonel Canby (another historical person, Colonel Edward Canby). This is consistent with the campaign that took place between February and April 1862 in the Union territory of New Mexico and the Confederate state of Texas.

If you haven't seen them already, I would strongly recommend the first 2 movies in this trilogy. 'A Fistfull of Dollars' sets the prototype and 'For A Few Dollars More' is just as good (I would argue better, though many disagree) as 'Good, Bad, Ugly'. Clint and Lee Van Cleef are both great, Leone perfects his style, Morricone nails the soundtrack again, and the final duel scene is every bit as tense, epic, and chill-inducing as the duel at the end of the 3rd movie.

@@MrValentineReacts Maybe I'm late, but to be clear, they are a "trilogy" only in the loosest sense of the term. They are three movies Sergio Leone made in the span of few years mostly recycling the same production crew and cast, but they all sport brand new story lines and characters. Opinions and preferences may vary, but this one was the third of the bunch, BY FAR the one with the largest budget of the three and personally also my favorite by a significant margin. They are all good in their own way and exceptional given the budget used, though, as it's basically anything Leone made in his life.

Pulp Fiction is the only Tarantino movie I've seen but even here I notice immediate parallels like the humiliation of having someone come and eat your food without asking. The scene @23:00 where Ugly is being tortured with the music outside is reminiscent of the origins of the "barbershop quartet" where, as I understand, they sang songs to mask the sounds of screaming as the patient's teeth were being pulled (because barbers also worked as "dentists" back in the day). Wonderful commentary and enjoyed learning some new words used in context as always: 1. wheedling: flattering with the intention to urge someone to do something 2. caterwauling - yawling like a cat 3. imprecation: a curse invoked on someone 4. dissembling: pretending with the intention to deceive.

Finally watched your reaction to this. Realized at 24:11 (the scene from 24:11 to 24:34) that you are watching the restored version of the movie. Several scenes that were cut and left out of the US release for years were finally remastered and added back in about 2003-ish. Since these original cut scenes were never dubbed in English, Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and several other voice actors (replacing actors who were unavailable or had passed away) were brought in to record these lines in their voices. This will explain why Eastwood's voice sounded a little older, and Lee VanCleef (the Bad) sounded completely different at 24:30 - as he passed away back in 1989. All in all, great reaction as usual.

This is a great film, but imho a little overrated (that catchy title helps a lot with that). The pacing leaves a little to be desired and the three leads forced into uncomfortable alliances in the hunt for gold is a bit too contrived and unbelievable. For a bang bang action spaghetti western I would always prefer the film Leone made before this _For a Few Dollars More_ (also staring Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef). For a lengthy epic operatic western I'd prefer the film Leone made after this _Once Upon a Time in the West_ However, the one thing that this film has that is perfection would be the score. Ennio Morricone was legendary and did (amongst other things) the music to all the Sergio Leone westerns. The main theme is iconic and I was familiar with it as a toddler many many years before ever seeing the film "The Ecstasy of Gold" is used a lot by other people these days (so it wasn't surprising you recongised it when Tuco arrives as the cemetary). Although my favourite piece is "The Trio" used during the final stand off - without the music that is just five minutes of 3 guys looking awkwardly at each other, but with the music it is incredible.
