@mewgiah8057

+Epsilon The music certainly helps. Music can elevate any scene, and give it an emotional impact. Try watching the best movie scenes in history without music, and a huge element of them is lost (almost like it loses its soul). But I would also say apart of it isn't just the camera spinning as a man runs in circles. It's also the context of the scene. The scene starts with a wide shot of rows upon rows of graves, it's both epic and disturbing. One of the subtext (and I guess subplot) running throughout the film, is the civil war that is going on in the background (that our characters don't want to be apart of). And the toll its taking on its soldiers, and the idea the these soldiers lives mean nothing. So the end of our journey -- this "race for Gold", is in a cemetery with all those dead soldiers. And Tuco and the audience only care about the gold. So when the camera starts spinning and it becomes dizzying, I feel like that perfectly works with the idea that we have tunnel vision for the Gold, and all the graves and dead people don't really mean anything. The setting with which this takes place literally becomes a blur, as the focus is purely on the gold. I mean, it's no coincidence that the director chose an "unknown" or "unmarked" grave as the spot where the gold was buried. There was symbolic reasons for having the gold buried in a grave of a soldier, that no one could identify. I mean, that's why Tuco is called "The Ugly". He's supposed to be the Ugly in all of us. Our greed, that will ignore and look past the horrors around us to satisfy it. The idea that an individuals "pursuit of happiness", overrides caring about anyone else. And the movie also doesn't pander to the audience. Because it doesn't wag the finger, or condemn the ugly. Tuco is actually a complex character, and you could argue that he is what he is, due to the circumstances forced on him by society (poverty etc.)

Man, the emotions at the end where you aren't sure if Blondie is gonna let Tuco live are intense. Throughout the movie he has wronged the "hero," yet for reasons hard to explain, we want him to win. We cheer when he finds the cemetery, and the movie wants us to we cheer when both he and Blondie shoot Angel Eyes. Watching him nearly choke to death is actually brutal, and the relief when Blondie comes back around is amazing; he is the "good," after all.

This scene goes from understanding the brutal world Tuco lives in that’s surrounded by so much conflict and death (the overwhelming amount of graves) to him slipping through death’s grip many a times (running through the graveyard) in desperate search of the thing that has kept him and his family alive. This isn’t just a scene of an outlaw looking for gold; it’s his life in its entirety. It reflects a man’s vulnerable, despicable, and primal instinct: his desire to live. If you think about it that way, the music isn’t overdramatized at all. It’s perfect.

Right, so first, that's not a definition of good filmmaking. Second, they absolutely used plenty of clever effects here. For example, I (personally) doubt that they really fired a cannonball at y'man. And frankly, the supposition that if they didn't the film is worse for it is concerning. This is an exquisite scene. But not for its lack of cgi. This scene is exquisite because it is masterfully scored, and, as importantly, masterfully setup. If you showed the scene to someone who had never seen the film, they'd be confused, and remark on, "I guess the music is good?"

This scene was judged to be one of the 10 best sequences of world cinema of all time. It is said that Sergio Leone intertwined more than 40 cameras and made the actor run for more than 2 hours between filming and counter-filming. Furthermore: The triello sequence will then be destined to remain famous in the history of cinema: Sergio Leone knows how to enhance it with an ever new photography, with close-ups, with details with eye shots and with an ever faster editing that will set the school for the future great filmmakers. But perhaps nothing would have been this sequence without the extraordinary, exhilarating and solemn soundtrack signed by a great musician: Ennio Morricone. George Lucas himself has stated that he took inspiration from the typically Leonian close-ups during the filming of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, in particular, in the final duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Furthermore, this sequence is still studied at the Los Angeles University of Cinema, frame by frame, as an admirable example of montage. In addition to this, several scenes from the film were used for a study of the higher functions of the human brain published on March 12, 2004 in the prestigious journal Science.

And there are two types of western, my friend...those directed by Sergio Leone with Clint Eastwood and those that aren't.

The best part is him hitting the grave and the music starting EXACTLY when he is realising where he is. That’s the best cinematography I’ve ever seen in my life. And the pure ecstasy of him running in circles is just perfect. This part of him hitting the grave is the big Katharsis of the movie. The journey was long and hard, for the characters and even the viewer as he was on the edge on the seat waiting, everyone involved nearly died several times and as a viewer you are like: „when the fuck are they gonna find it?“, you are completely absorbed by the scene with the canon and don’t even think about the gold anymore AND THEN THE MUSIC HITS. With perfect timing the viewer feels exactly the same as Tuco. „Just give it to me, where is the grave???“ and then the big stand off after that. I watched this movie for the first time in the first lockdown and there was a part of me thinking: „this movie is good but maybe people are just nostalgic and it’s a bit overhyped“ I completely changed my mind after this one second.

It’s great that you gave it a second chance. I’d say every time you watch this film you discover something new. Last time I found out that when Angel Eyes arrives and threatens Blondie with his gun Tuco stops digging and turns to look at him menacingly. And then when they start positioning themselves for the shootout and Angel Eyes watches Tuco drawing out his gun Blondie stops briefly to be ready to protect Tuco - as he knew his gun was not loaded.

Eli is on another level in this movie and scene. The way he runs (says a man who is uncomfortable with running as he usually never needs to) is sublime. His facial expressions is so real, and fulfills his characters greed. A master performance from Eli.

Anthony A. The movie is not the greatest movie of all time, but it is one of the greatest. As for the theme music, it is one of the greatest to have been created. Is the movie the greatest Western of all time ? The answer is yes. Sergio Leone was very lucky with his chief actors, as nobody could have beaten Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef and Eli Wallach, who were perfect for their roles. The movie turned Eastwood into a star. However, the performance by Eli Wallach was just brilliant, probably outshining that of Eastwood. Finally, the movie made history. It was made in 1966. Until then all Westerns had clean cut actors, who were clean, clean shaven and wore remarkably clean clothes. The truth was somewhat different, as back in those days houses did not have bathrooms, its inhabitants using portable tubs. Cowboys in those days would go for weeks and months without taking a bath. The reason why you had so many casualties in the US Civil War was inadequate medicine and poor higene, with many troops dying from infection. Well, Sergio Leone turned all that, creating a new, realistic image of people who lived in the West. The scruffy look appeared. This new image was subsequently copied by Hollywood directors.

I think it's not that surprising. Pirates and Cowboys are often beating their own path away from society, cities, and the Church right? Well, what better frame of reference point to start looking for how to tell that story than to start at Rome, or Italy, and work your way out from there until you reach Texas and California? By way of Paris and the Count of Monte Cristo eh? Gold buried in a graveyard sea of crosses. It really doesn't work to try to write the story any other way. Do you pick the gold? Or the cross? Both? Neither? Putting them next to each other gives the mind the most to think about, and you don't need to be prescriptivist at all. You just need to underline in clear bold strokes: here's your choices, man. Now which one are you going to make? I'm used to the hero picking the right way but you could have a very powerful movie with Blondie doing something different at the end. I think the most interesting question in the history of fanfiction is to ask "What If The Bad or The Ugly won the duel?" How does that look? Who is more interesting, Blondie or Tuco? That's an interesting question itself!

It looses a little bit of the impact on the small screen - but that makes me appreciate the original vision all the more, it was designed for the big screen.

This is something movies today are lacking. A musical score that drives the movie. Music is so bland and generic in modern movies.

The headstones represent the horror and sheer numbers of wasted life due to the civil war and the cemetery itself represents the fact that we are all mere mortals and our ultimate destiny. And right in the middle is the slimy rat, Tuco running around blinded by greed and the hope that he will find the ultimate prize before blonde catches up with him. The music fits the scene perfectly.

I can never get over just how at the end the graves are flying past in a blur with Tuco being the focus of the camera, with the music slowly building into a crescendo, and all of a sudden at the end, Tuco stops, the music stops, and the camera zooms in on the grave. It leaves me short of breath every time.

You are correct. When I watch this movie I stop after this scene. Gives me the shivers. Awesome!

+blockmasterscott Could not agree more. The first time I watched this I was, well, a bit boozy and I will never forget the effect this scene had on me - my jaw was on the floor, I was so awed. It's incredible. The climactic shoot-out had the same effect. This will always be one of the best films I have ever had the privilege to see. God bless you Morricone.

One of the greatest films of all time! Watched it with my dad and grandfather growing up. Will definitely be doing the same with my kids.

what running round a graveyard looking for gold coins?

Ennio Morricone is a genius.

No...Tuco is a genius atleast he standed on that grave long enough for clint to shoot him off

I love this scene and how it puts the whole movie in perspective. The nation is caught in the throws of the American Civil War, hundreds of thousands dying at the hands of their own countrymen in a desperate struggle... and three men fight over a few bags of money.

Raguleader This movie's been considered a satire of the Western genre. While earlier Westerns focused on romanticism and heroic deeds, this one shows the dark side, that is, greed, war, and violence.

I just read one Wikipedia it was considered a satire, although the attitude and mood is the opposite of a 50s Western.

In 1966, $200,000 for that day would be at least $600,000 in 2017 by todays purchasing value in the dollar.

I feel sad whenever I see this scene every time, it is really a masterpiece.

It’s sad to see it’s over , but it’s happiness that it’s happened. This film is always in my heart

Where an actor, a music score and, a scene come together to make a masterpiece.

Who knew you could make a scene of a man running around in a grave yard into one of the best scenes in cinema history...
