Memorable, crazy movie
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
If you've never seen a western, this is the first one you should watch. It's funny, entertaining and has action.
Sergio Leone really shot for the rafters with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and I think he succeeded beautifully. Together with Ennio Morricone's powerful, truly original, and unforgettable score, they have created an iconic film. Eastwood and Wallach are both perfectly cast and create rich and deep characters that I really enjoyed. This is a serious film dealing with some serious situations, but Leone very adeptly sprinkles it throughout with just the right amount of humor. I disagree that this film is slow paced and instead consider it to be evenly paced to a degree necessary to achieve the desired result.
As a person "of a certain age", and a true movie buff, it is now startling to me that I managed to miss experiencing this gem until 2018. It is truly a masterpiece. And, as said "movie buff", am somewhat embarrassed to admit this ignorance. Stunning is not a cliché when applied to TGTBTU. And omg that classic, iconic score.So, expecting to see a plethora of Oscar nominations/wins, was stunned to learn on IMDB that there was not even one of either! This compelled me to search Wikipedia to understand how this omission occurred. It became clear quickly. Simply put, 1967 was a big year for Hollywood. And the oscars were at that time limited to only 5 nominees per category. Best Pictures: "In the Heat of the Night", "The Graduate", "Bonnie and Clyde", "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (all truly worthy of the honor), and "Dr. Doolittle".Excuse me? "Dr. Doolittle"??? Over THIS? Well, it was indeed the psychedelic 60's.
The most famous Western movie is 'The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly' which is possible just this opinion but this is a favorite. Kind of way too tense at times but that is how it might have been back then. It captivates interest yet, even though it is a trinity with these 2 armies involved trying to duel each other in the midst. A good one,
