General Discussion / Introduction scenes

« on: March 29, 2003, 04:51:56 PM »

I think that one of the most important qualities of Leone is his introdution scenes (can i say that in english???).
If you forget the final duels, what do you really remember in leone's movies?

in GBU: the first part (until that "the good" is written on the screen) is the beest (on my mind).

in ouatw: the first scene is great great great... and after that the introduction of frank (for me the most beautiful introduction of a character ever made), and the one of jill and the one of the cheyenne...
in fistful of dynamite: when john appears...

in for a few dollars more: monco's apparition.

When you ask somebody to explain you ouatw, usually, the guy answer  "that was great, but i can't remember exactly... i recall three men in dusters, at the station, with a bog..."

Duck, You Sucker / FoD, underrated?

« on: March 26, 2003, 12:31:39 PM »

I just would like to say that this movie is often considered as leone's weakest movie... I can't agree: it's a beautiful movie, one of the best movies that i know. It isn't as good as the two once upon a time, but it is still better than a fistful of dollars and for a few dollars more... I think it is the same level as gbu.

Unfortunatly, james coburn and rod steiger both died last year... R.I.P

Once Upon A Time In The West / French Questions

« on: March 21, 2003, 06:56:31 AM »

The three dusters waiting for a train are al mulloch, woody strode and jack elam.

I think Al isn't famous, he's italian, and i've just seen him in gbu and ouatitw.

Is Jack elam famous? i don't know him, but he's a very good actor.

And Woody Strode? He is the "guest star" of the movie, but i've just seen him in ouatitw and "the professionnels". Who's that guy???
