If you’re like me, and over 50, you realize that the fact that few movies, let alone scenes within movies, are made at this pace any longer because society has evolved to the point where most people don’t have the attention span required to enjoy this kind of directing. In the age of tweets, instagrams, and other social media, messaging is delivered in 5-10 second bites and then it’s on to the next message. This has resulted in a society generally unable to endure the time scenes like this one require, unfortunately. It’s a shame, as a true art has been lost.

The fact that the scene moves at a normal pace and isn't rushed makes it very special. Today's filmmakers as a whole are impatient and feel the need to push scenes rather than let them play out as they would in real life. The framing of the scenes with the intense close ups complimented with wide shots really grounds the viewer into the scene. We are present at this gunfight. We hear it,see it and in our minds we can even smell the gunpowder discharged!

In real life? Firing from the hip with a pistol in real life at that speed means missing the target. Add to that the range they are firing from. The odds are on the side of the three men, not the one. After the first shot that missed, they'd all be trying to get to some sort of cover or concealment. When I train for something like this, I'm normally about three feet away from my practice targets. What we are seeing is the west as Holly Wood portrays it. Not saying that this isn't one of the best gun fights ever produced for the movies because it is. I suggest you read some books or video about how most gun fights really went down. Not trying to cut you down. It is a bad ass scene.

Sergio Leone had a knack for creating great scenes like this, as he did with his "Man with no Name" trilogy. I'd say that a lot of westerns after it, tried to follow that style of directing, with some succeeding and others not so much. I'd say that "Unforgiven" did a good job of presenting this style of buildup in a scene.

Jack Elam (the cowboy in the center who said "Frank sent us") was such a great actor. Over 200 films and TV show appearances. He lost the sight in his eye at age 11 during, of all things, a Boy Scout meeting, when a kid hit him with a pencil. He once mentioned to movie mogul Daryl Zanuck that he could have it fixed and Zanuck stopped him, telling him it was part of his mystique. Despite being known as a bad guy through most of his career, he did some outstanding comedy too, some poking fun at his many villain roles. He was also well respected by many of his peers and considered a great guy on a personal level.

This western is one of the greatest! The beginning of the story was told by look in the cowboy’s eyes and facial expressions! My late uncle, who suffered from dementia, would watch this movie all day! He remembered ever favorite part! It’s a 10!

One of Sergio Leone's talents was his ability to take actors we already knew from dozens of movies and TV shows...and turn them into completely different people just for his films. I swear Charles Bronson looks completely different here, but looks much more familiar in everything else he ever did before or since. That says something about the raw skills of a director like Leone.

The Western genre may be dead (with no signs of revival anytime soon) but elements of it have been implemented to other genres, especially sci fi. I'd really recommend Trigun (1998), its an anime that takes place on a desert planet called Gunsmoke where people have to survive using "plants," inter-dimensional beings that are capable of producing power and energy as well as water. It's the perfect blend of western and sci fi.

For me one of the best western of History of Cinema. And music ..perfect.

The attention to detail on this scene is astounding. Bronson waits for the three gunman to come together before making his presence known as they were awaiting far apart beforehand. Watching Elam slowly bring his hand forward when he realizes a gunfight is inevitable. Bronson even shoots Woody Strode's character last, knowing it will take him longer to ready his "mare's leg" weapon, which is why he is the only one able to get a shot off of the three. Slow buildup is without peer in regards to Western style shootouts, save High Noon and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

The four gospel accounts completely contradict each other and are obviously written as theological fiction, not fact. By the way, the gospel account is that he was dead for less than two days, from late Friday until mid-Sunday. You don't even know the Bible you claim to follow. The Ten Commandments are not the moral law. They are the religious law. Out of 10, the first four teach us that jealousy is an admirable trait. Most cultures venerate one's elders so the 5th is stating the obvious. Numbers 6, 8, and 9 are already illegal in every culture, Christian or not, so no contribution there, and the surrounding passages give every possible excuse for breaching number 6 on the slightest pretext such as God commanding the killing of a man for gathering sticks on the Sabbath. It would be interesting trying to make laws in relation to number 10 which deals only with what is going on inside a person's mind.
