A kind of Leone parody?

[stanton]

I found something odd in the net: https://filmlifestyle.com/best-sergio-leone-movies/

At first glimpse it looks like just another website, which offers things you already got a dozen times, but a closer look reveals lots of utter nonsense. It looks serious on the surface, but it is full of freely invented "facts". and there are dozens others of these fake portraits, like of Fassbinder, Peckinpah or Innaritu. It reminds me of Thomas Weisser's famous Spaghetti Western book, which also was filled with invented things. But here it is much easier to detest what's wrong, but even if it must be a parody, it does not feel like an intended parody.

Well, it's fun to read ...

Man, you ain't kiddin'. Here's the synopsis of OUATITW:

Sergio Leone?s classic Western is one of the most iconic films of all time. It stars Henry Fonda as a former Confederate soldier who must fight for his life after being betrayed by his own men. The film also features Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards and Toshiro Mifune.

I have not laughed so hard in a looooong time.

GBU is even better:

"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is a film by Italian director Sergio Leone. The film stars Clint Eastwood as three men who are competing to find the $200,000 in gold buried by an old man named Tuco (Eli Wallach).

The three men include a veteran Mexican bandit Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef), a bounty hunter named Lee Van Cleef and an unidentified American soldier named Tuco.

The film was written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Sergio Leone. It is also known for its violent and surreal violence scenes. The violence was so intense that it caused some critics to claim that it was ?outrageous?.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly has been praised for its cinematography, score, direction and acting. The film won four Oscars at the 47th Academy Awards including Best Director for Sergio Leone."



Maybe we should copy them all before they are gone ...
