Clint Eastwood's second film as a director finds the celebrated action star returning to his familiar Old West stomping grounds and his internationally acclaimed role of "The Man With No Name." This time, The Stranger (Eastwood) mysteriously appears out of the heat waves of the desert and rides into the lawless, sin-ridden town of Lago. After making a name for himself with a string of blazing gun battles, The Stranger is hired by the townspeople to provide protection from three ruthless gunmen just out of jail. The Stranger quickly proceeds to paint the entire town bright red, rename it "Hell," and supply divine retribution in the fiery, pulse-pounding climax of this acclaimed western shoot-em-up.

@LordZontar 2 жыл бұрын

The town got punished not for hiring these goons in the first place and not even only for their cowardice in letting Jim Duncan die, but for all of them assenting in one form or another to the Marshal's murder because he was about to bring evidence that Lago didn't have proper title to the land on which the gold mine was located. The people who ran the mining company had Stacy Bridges and his cousins do the killing (and then betrayed and set them up on the robbery charge) but the whole town allowed the murder to protect their community interest in the mine and thus became wholly corrupted. That was the hidden crime of Lago, the sin for which the whole town was held for judgment. The very few who tried to object or even intervene, like Sarah Belling, or were too terrified to act like Mordecai, were suppressed and ended up having to live with the guilt along with everyone else because they had nowhere else to go.

The western genre would have died out in the 70s without Clint, he was the perfect actor for the new wave of gritty and highly stylised westerns pioneered by the Italian film industry and acted as the bridge to bring it into everyday American culture and even make it their own by doubling down on the hard edge Clint brought with his characterisation. At one point it was almost entirely only Clint that could deliver a western and sell tickets for it at the cinema, films like High Plains drifter and Pale Rider are probably the 2 best known examples of this along with Unforgiven.

Not Gene Autry and not the clean shaven dapper soft hand singing cowboys.. A lot of that grit is remixed into the Tarantino style of films that people seem to find so satisfying despite their endless lust for glorified stylized violence and sadomasochism especially against women and people who are indistinguishable as being either good or bad.

The sign on the poster was right. "THEY'LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY HE CAME TO TOWN!" AND, Who exactly was this mysterious man? The spirit of vengeance? The good sheriff's ghost? A relative or a town person who witnessed the murder? We'll never truly know! However, what we do know is that this film was and always will be an all time classic! Thank You Mr. Eastwood!

The spirit of a murdered lawman possesses a wondering gunslinger. Returns to the town he was murdered and plots his revenge on the cowards of that town and the men who killed him. A powerful ghost story and a great film. Eastwood at his best and the second movie he directed and stared in.

@@nealjolly5434 I always wondered about that. I thought it was supposed to be the ghost of the sheriff brought back in physical form to take his revenge, but I always wondered why nobody recognized him. So if he did somehow possess a living gunslinger, that would solve the recognition problem. Yet I seem to remember a scene from the movie, a flashback where we see the sheriff murdered, and it was Eastwood himself who clearly was the sheriff. And both the fading in and fading out of the gunslinger at the beginning and end of the movie seems to imply he wasn't a real human.

@nealjolly5434 2 жыл бұрын

@@graytonw5238 Understood, but I was going on what Eastwood wrote in his original notes of the movie. The screen play. A ghost can not take physical form, yet the fading in and out does pose a question. Not being recognized. I would say that the spirit within distorted the wonder's physical body giving him the appearance it's formal self. Therefor looking like the sheriff, but not to the people of the town. They only see a stranger. My thoughts only.

@graytonw5238 2 жыл бұрын

@@nealjolly5434 Ah, good point. Thus we as the audience see the sheriff's real appearance when looking at the gunslinger, but the townspeople wouldn't because they're seeing the gunslinger's external appearance (I'm guessing). I'll certainly bow to the original notes and screenplay from Eastwood himself, since that's the true source of the movie and story. One of Eastwood's best in any event.

When Clint saw how good a certain thing worked on film, he would often REPEAT IT in another film. In Pale Rider he kills all the Pinkerton assassins one at a time, then shoots the last bad guy several times in the chest. He falls to his knees. Only in that one, Clint pulls out a tiny little Gun and finishes him with a pop in the forehead.

@mythsislittlefarie7635 2 жыл бұрын

Stockburn's signature was always that final bullet to the head with the dying victim looking, and that's what he gets from Preacher: his own sadism turned back on him. Also remember when we briefly saw the Preacher's bare back with six closed-over bullet holes. He shoots Stockburn in the same pattern before delivering the coup de grasse. There was indeed one bit that Eastwood repeated in both this film and Pale Rider and that was his nod to Sergio Leone -- the scene in which the last enemy in hiding is about to shoot Clint in the back only to be gunned down by Clint's friend. It was the climax of A Fistful Of Dollars and Eastwood repeated it in High Plains Drifter with Mordecai and Pale Rider with Hull Barrett.
