The Vargas family wants the other families out of the desert: what for?
But the question is: where is the cattle? what is cattle doing in the desert anyway? You can't have your pie and eat it too. You can take liberties with the landscape (as many westerns do) but not with logic.
the condensation of the plot you make is a good explanation of my small enthusiasm for it.
but i think it's a lovely change from a Django-style bullet festival and other over-the-top spaghettis (nothing against them) and that's what sets it apart for me as one of my favorites.
Huh? Open Range.... they weren't using fancy breeds of pampered cattle these original Spanish breeds could eat almost anything.
I enjoy how perverse all the characters are. There is not one redeeming feature in any of them. Even the victimized widow allows her enemy's daughter to be raped by her murdered husbands brothers. She even makes her enemies dig up her husbands corpse to parade him over to another cemetery.
Why do you enjoy how perverse the characters are? With not one redeeming feature, as you said.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063740/http://www.spaghettiwestern.altervista.org/cimitero_senza_croci.htmThe italian SW db tells the movie has "little content and story... (is) little exalting and quite flat". I more or less agree with this. The movie has a good start and is very good until the saloon shooting. Then it becomes a moving to and fro from Hossein's to Mercier's to Vargas', but at a slow pace. Really, I had to fight sleep to watch it through the end.
