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.

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.

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.

Love this film. The use of editing, particular diegetic editing with the score, is sooooo good.

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.

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.

@dogeshark204

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.

Thank God for Ralph

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.
