Il mio nome è Nessuno aka My Name Is Nobody (1973)

[drinkanddestroy]

I saw 2 short clips of this movie.  Is this Blazing Saddles part 2? I hate western comedies...

I hate all comedies. I am a deadly serious guy

Aeh.

This one was a little hokey for me, more comedy and not as plausable (espcially the shots of the what seemed like 5,000 wild bunch, lol) I just don't rate it up there with the others.

For me anyway as soon as a SW pushes the reality envelope, I loose a little respect for it. For example I think it was maybe "Sabatta"?, that had the gun hidden in the banjo, or the troop of acrobats, or maybe both, that was to me more "Wild Wild West" ish. Take it with a grain of salt.

Sabata was a masterpiece compared to this.  Its as if Sergio decided to tear down everything that made his films great.  I turned it off halfway through.  2 out of 10...

Then you missed some of the most beautiful scenes to be found in a Leone film, or in other words: some of the most beautiful scenes in any kind of western.

And Sabata, really? Sabata is a nice film, but there's nothing in it which could be compared to the best stuff in Nobody.

Go for the throat, Stanton. 

[stanton]

I suggest teamwork: you hold him, I beat him (or the other way round) ...

What do you think?

[dave jenkins]

I think the beating should be administered by . . . (wait for it) . . . Nobody.

In other words, the film is its own best advocate. Let's give moorman the Ludovico treatment: toothpicks propping open the eyelids, saline solution, and MNIN on continuous loop. He'll come around in the end.

[stanton]

Sound also pretty reasonable ...

There was a ton of stuff that I saw in the first half of the film that had Leone played it  straight, this would have been a good addition to his other westerns...

Yes Straight and restrained, would have improved it.

Why Henry Fonda would sign up for this is questionable...

[noodles_leone]

Well, that film gave him some of the very best scenes of his whole career, so there is that.
The fact that it's a wonderful film is another good point.
Last, there is that thing about you two being so wrong, so very very wrong.



(Objectively speaking, of course.  )

That intro at the barber's was entirely shot by Valerii mind you. Leone was still in Rome then. That's not to say Leone's influence wasn't felt of course.
