Very good point 4 stars !
When Max had to imagine and proposed a plot to his new Mafioso bosses, he certainly remembered the salt scene.
"I shall pretend I'm dying. "
( BTW it's a classical infantile attitude. Everybody ,at least once , dremt to die and so punish his parents. )

because
"in Revolution, there is confusion".
As Noodles said to young Jimmy Conway after the oil bath: you (the workers) shall be always fucked .(french subtitle) Leone fascist ? Surely not. But a little bit conservative ?

DYS is a perfect example of a transition film.Often transition opus are weak because they try to mix opposites.
1° First theWestern quadrilogy manner:big effect , large plans, strong music, cynic attitude, magic gun shots
2° At last OUATIA manner: more subtile music, more psychology, no big plan , more dialogs , more realistic .VERY different.
For DYS, between 19th century films (Westerns) and 20th century one (OUATIA) Leone chooses a transition period (beginning of the 20th) , a transition style (motorcycle and horses, guns and machine-guns), transition country (if Europe and USA are in the 20th, Mexico seems still in the 19th) ,.
May be why many friends dont like DYS. Too half/half, not enough "Dollars" for some people , too "Dollars" for the others .
Not enough revolutionary for some people, too politic for the others.
Not enough magic ...too fairy tale for the others
And so on.
By the way, IMO Rod Steiger is a pure miscasting, Juan role was for Eli !

I he says it's out of place because Frank and Jill are inside McBain ranch, while Harmonica and Cheyenne's men are standing just outside. Great ! Obviously it's impossible. I can't imagine Harmonica and Cheyenne gang " tenir la chandelle". Thanks Cusser

Saw "VIRIDIANA", a BUNUEL Film. The maid is played by Margarita LOZANO , the same actress who plays Mrs BAXTER . Interesting woman, wild and sexy but not kind at all. Black eyes, angry look and deep sensuality. (By the way interesting film, very "Bunuelian")

Marx: The emancipation of the workers will be made by the workers themselves
Wolinski ( a french comic designer): revolution will be made not by people who desire it but by people who need it
Mao: revolution is not a smart dinner.. it is a violent act by what one class overthrows an other one
Juan opinion is classicaly conservative: Don't move ,tomorrow will be worse !
But Juan is not a worker, he is not a peon but a thief.For a fistful of Dollars he could be a killer for Mexican landlords or US Investors. For a few Dollars more he could be a Counter-Revolution Leader.
Juan is far from Zapata, Pancho Villa and Adelita.
Sean is far from John Reed .
Both have a long way to dialectic and class struggle.

Delivrance is a great film, I agree. But I 'm wondering about the mean of the word "nature" I remember that Dustin 's woman was sodomized in Straw Dogs and the poor fat guy also in Delivrance ,screaming like a pig. is it so "Nature" ? May be I prefer Culture in this case.

Lawrance's Seven Pillars Of Wisdom is at times frightingly close to that film. Maybe less on sadomachism and the British/French betrayal.
(Thanks Smoker,) Do you think so ? I like very much the book: very dry like a desert sand, not so easy to read ... in comparision the film is a sugared pleasure , a perfect entertainment Hollywood product with a well-shaved Lawrence and some white actors playing Arabians and Turkishs. By the way ,is Georges W. the new Lawrence ? Shall he learn to drive a camel ? After Bagdad he currently dreams about Damas

I saw this film last night for the first time ( nobody's perfect). Great ! I appreciate the scene where Belmondo driving his car launched it directly in the sea with his passenger. Was Noodles a fan of jean-luc Godard ?

Never really been a fan of The Wild Bunch, found Straw Dogs to be much more meaningful.
Jayson, you speak about a film with Dustin Hofmann versus Irish machos ? I never liked it, it seems to me an easy apology of self defence: " please rape my wife,so I could KILL EVERYBODY ." IMO , " The Getaway" is a great film from a great novel.

I think that the best movie I've ever seen about Cuban "Revolution" is Bananas by Woody Allen!!!!
I fully agree and Woody was a great guerillero! I don't know if panties are still weared OVER the trousers in La Havana
