Very uneven movie, yet it somehow reached to me with the magic of some of its scenes. I dunno, it probably falls into guilty pleasure category.
That dude. And the absolutely unnecessary shirtless scene just to know us that he works out. I liked first half though, but second was just horrible. Not sure about Tores sporting Tuco like persona, I thought he was quite good in some scenes, but annoying in others.
A great story, a so-so execution. The directing seems heavy-handed and very old-fashioned, something you would see in a peplum movie or something, the score didnāt disabuse me of that impression either. I think itās decent, but I didnāt really find it to be that fascinating to be honest. Considering the potential dormant in the story, it shouldāve been much better.
I know you like that one a lot, I thought it was mostly routine stuff executed in a pretty tasteful fashion with some welcome scripting elaboration and well written characters. I prefer Corbucciās Johnny Oro and Guerrieriās Johnny Yuma as far as the earlier period of the genre goes.
Itās weird because I found Paolellaās direction in Odio per odio to be just fine, maybe a little too standardized and American, but still perfectly fine. In Execution, he doesnāt appear to give a damn, itās much closer to a Baldanelloās western in its cheapness and crude appearance. Iām not sure whether the inadequate budget is to be blamed for this or something else, the qualitative difference is pretty stark between both movies. Weird.
Yeah, nice abs. The issue is that both the execution and the story are extremely formulaic and when you combine that technical featurelessness with Harrisās terrible acting skills, the movie just becomes awful. Torres is okay, but the rest is toast.
So this is the end. I expected to watch 10 flick maximum and I managed to watch 30.
Tonight Iām turning towards German westerns, a path I tend to avoid. Great locations and cinematography. Definitely worth.
So we produced about 240 posts in this topic, do we have an easy way to count the movies watched, at least a rough estimate, and how many of us were festing, can someone help me count? I wanna put some statistics into the december newsletter
Goodlooking film, the main dish here of course Nicoletta Machiavelli as Lulu, but honourable mention also to Marisa Solinas as Rosie, doing all the haystack scenes and, not to forget, Piero Gherardiā¦
So here is my final tally, and a poor one at that, managed only six viewingsā¦ But at least I have now seen all westerns directed by Sergio Garrone for sure. Iāve made some notes on Se vuoi vivereā¦ spara* which Iāl post on the films thread later.
I know that many of the users canāt read a word in Portuguese but Iāll leave here a link to the post Iāve just published on my blog related to this subject. See you next year.
