Yeah, we always knew there was something wrong with your brain Stanton
Anyway, the scenes at night when Joe steals back the locomotive are not so exciting, but the other scenes where he fights Duncanās men are great with cool camera angles and action
The music is a classic, and the yelling is mostly in the main theme, there are many other parts of the score that are more delicate.
Like I said, itās a stricktly personal opinion, and Iām not an expert on soundtracks (or music in general)
Thatās another way of saying it. I think these scenes (and those involving his liberation by the banjo player and his girls) arenāt up to the scratch.
I understand why critics and moviegoers werenāt very fond of the movie when it was first released; I didnāt like it either when I first saw it, in the 70s, during a late night showing in Eindhoven. I still remember I thought it was a āfake Indian westernā, with Indians that liooked as realistic as Coca Colaās Santa Claus. Today this doesnāt bother me any more, I donāt know why. I guess that, back then, when people said that a movie wasnāt āauthenticā they also meant to say (probably without realizing it) that it didnāt look like an American western. That might have been my idea too: this was an indian western that didnāt look like the Indian western I knew
I love this movie, donāt know why iāve overlooked it for so long. First time I saw it i was annoyed that the Japanese audio was so much better than the english, stupidly switching between the tracks while it was running ruined it for me.
Getting over Burtās hair or even the fact that he was slightly Native American was the hardest thing to get over. Itās the main reason why I waited so long to see it. Itās a good sw but the score moves it up a few rungs on the ladder for me. The excessive screaming gets on my nerves in a few parts but overall the score in intense. I love the story of Sergio Corbucci stranding Burt in no manās land to find his way back. Maybe it was payback for signing on thinking he was working with the other Sergio.
Iāll change the text about the Leone score a little; I rewatched (or better: relistened) parts of the movie last night, and I admit that some parts of the score (often variations on the main theme) are intense. Itās this excessive yelling that was irritating me. I didnāt even like the yelling in the GBU score (which is, of course, otherwise pure magic), but here itās far worse.
Maybe Lindberg has an idea for an improved text on the score (?)
