- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ( Compassion ) is a segment in which the good ( Clint Eastwood ) feels compassion of the young confederate soldier who agonizes.
The drama of war and compassion combine to feel a deep emotion.
The humanity is shown in this scene without one word. What a masterpiece.
Man this scene messed me up as a kid. Just the idea of that soldier wounded and suffering all night. And the small bit of compassion Blondie shows him giving him a last smoke. My all time favorite film
Indeed.
Not to mention, Blondie symphatized with soldier, even when he worked with Union in order to blow up the bridge and before, captured by the confederation
Pure anti-hero.

They were captured by Union soldiers in the film too - the dust on their coats made them look like Greycoats.
Blondie helped the union captain and a confederate soldier!!! Truly a neutral person.
I think he understood that none of these young men wanted to be in a war, they were all just kind of forced into it against their will to fight and kill a faceless enemy for a cause they didn't even know about. He just didn't want to see people needlessly suffer.
He was just an American, north south east and west!
A neutral person..... Now that brings tears in my eyes man... Those are men.... Thos are men !!!
Yup, he was truly a neutral American. Helping the union captain's dream come true (which was preventing further losses of his men) and showing compassion for that confederate soldier by giving him his coat and two inhales of his cigar, "The good" was a well deserved title for Blondie.
Every one talks about the final duel, but to me this is the best scene in the movie.
The entire movie is a true masterpiece: the music, the actors, the plot, the screenplay, the images, the sound, the mask, the... everything!
1:19: Tuco sees the dying soldier. he looks to blondie, to the soldier, and back to blondie, as if to gauge blondies assessment of things. Tuco, with gold on his mind and lacking any compassion, scurries away upon seeing blondie focused on the soldier.
2:02: the soldier, startled at the sudden presence of a human, unsure as to whether this man’s a threat, shows a signs of fear until blondie reaches down to touch his wound, at which the soldier lets out an anguished gasp with an ever so slight smile on his face acknowledging blondies friendly intentions.
2:07: the soldier now looks intensely at blondie, perhaps something could be done for him, a glimmer of hope shines through his eyes as blondie looks him over, however, blondie puts his jacket over him and the glimmer fades, the soldier knowing nothing can be done. He looks down in despair. A solemn recognition of his dire circumstances.
2:25: the soldier looks back up to blondie, knowing these will be his last breaths he seems to ask with a slight nod for an otherwise insignificant draw from his cigar. Blonde reaches down to give him a pull. The familiar taste of American tobacco he’s likely known as a boy washes over him. He thinks of home, his family, temporarily taken out of this hell he’s found himself in and for just a moment, all the numbness from laying alone being left to die fleets his body for a brief split second. He looks back up to blondie, almost admiring him. This tall statuesque man embarked on a perilous journey of his own, soon to be on his way. Ships in the night. The soldier looks to blondie for another pull, as blondie obliges, a horse can be heard neighing. Blonde looks towards the direction of the noise, knowing it is tuco going off without him, however he does not frantically follow. Knowing tuco is making off without him, blonde remains to comfort the soldier, He looks back to the dying soldier and almost as if he’s thanking blondie for his compassion, as if all he needed was a taste of home to let go, to stop fighting and go into the great unknown, dies right there and blondie can now go on his way. Despite time being of the essence, blondie still takes his slowly, patting the soldier and giving him a pat before continuing on his journey, perhaps soon to end in the same way the as poor young soldier.
يا رجل حللت مشهد 😊...مؤثر فعلا😢
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭😭😭😭😭 Well said.
Even the toughest man can cry over this.
Yes this song especially 😢
It's almost as though he's sharing communion with the dying soldier through the cigar. I read another comment where somebody wrote that the smoke exiting the soldier's mouth was symbolic of the soul leaving the body. Powerful scene all the way around.
Every shot in this movie is composed like a renaissance painting
"Here, after a meal there's nothing like a good cigar." I think this scene helps flesh out Eastwood's character too. He's not just a soulless killing machine with a six gun, but he actually has a heart. He demonstrates it again when he witnesses the soldiers being slaughtered in battle, and again when they bring in the mortally wounded Captain. When he blows up the bridge, yes he's doing it so he can get the gold on the other side, but now he's also doing it for the dying captain. The scene where he shares his smoke with the dying soldier is a powerful scene, its almost like he's no longer even concerned with the gold, as Tuco takes advantage and gets a head start on him. In the end he actually demonstrates he is not a cold blooded killer by not only sparing Tuco's life, but he even gives Angel Eyes a chance, he merely wounds him in the gun fight, only firing the fatal shot when Angel Eyes reaches for his gun again. Eastwood's character truly was "the good" by the end of the film. His character had grown from the beginning of the film from his experiences and the things he had witnessed.
henryoil Clint blows up the bridge for the captain so he can die knowing his last wish was granted , and he can smile one last time
I agreed with you...perfect reading of Blondie.
Damn right! The savage brutality and angelic kindness in this movie are what makes it so great. “I’ve never seen so many men wasted so poorly.”
Great description for Blondie's character in this film
“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.” Matthew 7:6
Gone are the days where a lot could be said without saying anything at all in movies.
The smoke rising from his last exhale was such a beautiful touch
I agree. To me it's as if the soldiers soul is going up to heaven. Blonde as if saying you wont die alone. I cried my eyes out when I saw it as a kid and now everytime I see this scene I still do. The movie's a masterpiece!!!
So memorable the exhale I agree
This scene still gets me, even today. I wish more movies had this much silent dialogue. 3 minutes of no words. Just visual storytelling. A lost art.
The music is so good, it deserves its own starring credit. This scene especially shows what a master Ennio Morricone is.
@elga, Very well said. Many thanks. All best wishes.
This music is the star role of this masterpiece ❤ everything else is a secondary character
It’s enough to make a grown man cry and that’s ok
Knowing the civil war history and many soldiers walking through a battlefield seeing dead and dying soldiers knowing there’s nothing they can do makes this scene even sadder
Sergio Leone was a gentle soul. Contrary to the criticism of the violence in his films. You can't see good without bad, no matter how ugly.
even in this chaotic war and greedy pursuit... He has a great heart..
The instrumental playing in the background - from the song being sung by the POW's while Tuco is being tortured - is personally my favourite piece of music in this film. The words to the song make this scene even more haunting.
The song is "La Storia di un Soldato" (The Story of a Soldier) by Ennio Morricone:
_Bugles are calling;_
_from prairie to shore._
_Sign up and fall in,_
_and march off to war._
_Drums beating loudly;_
_hearts beating proudly-_
_march blue and grey;_
_and smile as you go..._
_Smoke hides the valleys;_
_and fire paints the plains._
_Loud roar the cannons;_
_til' ruin remains._
_Bluegrass and cotton;_
_burnt and forgotten-_
_all hope seems gone;_
_so soldier march on..._
_To die._
_Count all the crosses;_
_and count all the tears._
_These are the losses;_
_the sad souvenirs._
_This devastation;_
_was once a Nation-_
_so fall the dice;_
_how high is the price?_
_There in the distance;_
_a flag I can see._
_Scorched and in ribbons;_
_but whose can it be?_
_How ends the story;_
_Whose is the glory?_
_Ask if we dare;_
_Our comrades out there..._
_Who sleep._
_Count all the crosses;_
_and count all the tears._
_These are the losses;_
_the sad souvenirs._
_This devastation;_
_was once a Nation-_
_so fall the dice;_
_how high is the price..._
_We pay._
Thank you for this.
Yes but this track is on the soundtrack titled "Death Of A Soldier" because it's a bit deeper & different than Story Of A Soldier is as far as some of the instruments & plus it has no vocals
For me this is the greatest scene of all time from any other movie till now. It’s just an epic scene..... tears
Same here...
I have to say I agree.
I have never forgotten the impact it had on me when I first saw this film... at least 50 years ago
this is one of the best antiwar movie ever made.
the movie is a philosophical masterpiece, people often fail to see the beauty of this movie.
Most agree that its one of, if not the best movie of all time
My son, 8, loves this movie. I’m so proud of him.
My 62 years old father was not interested that's what happens when you see the movie as being "too old"
This is one of cinemas most beautiful scenes. The battlefield with all soldiers
It doesn’t matter who’s side you’re on in the end it doesn’t hurt to show someone a act of kindness in there final moments
Everything in this wordless scene is perfect. The acting, the directing, the cinematography, the Techniscope widescreen. My only complaint is that Juan stopped it just before Eastwood picked up his trademark poncho from the dead soldier's possessions in trade for Blondie's overcoat, in itself a brilliant act of screenwriting.
One of the most powerful scenes in films.. If you watch closely at the beginning of this scene, as Eastwood slowly walks towards the building where the Confederate soldier lies dying, he gently runs his fingers over his chin and then down over his chest, as if he has a premonition of something about to happen.. Very clever, deft acting by Clint..
Hollywood could take a lesson..
One of the best films ever created.
This scene proved that Clint was actually a massively great actor.
He didn't say one bloody word.... yet he moved every single person who watched it.
Just with his face.
And he turned out even greater director.
Never seen so many good men wasted so badly
One of the best movies ever!
The all time greatest western for me and this scene always stood out as one of my favourite scenes, possibly even my favourite scene.
Yeah, same here.
Same
Il ne pouvait pas y avoir un meilleur choix de musique dans ces circonstances. Morricone était vraiment extraordinaire !
If Compassion is my weapon ; may I never be unarmed. May I walk into the shadow of the valley of death a different man ; to show I've learned from my mistakes, and to make the most of my time left.
A soldier in his last dying moments, but because of Blondie at least he does not die alone, abandoned and scared, instead passing gently from life with a few puffs off a good cigar.
it mirrors the scene from much earlier when Angel Eyes calls Blondie a "Golden Haired Angel" ... then as a helpless scared dying solder nearing agonal death and maybe hallucinating is confronted with a stranger who sends him on his way with a silent kindness.
Even Angel Eyes showed a bit of compassion in the fort scene at the beginning when he talks to the Confederate soldier , u could tell he was shocked at what he saw
This scene makes me cry every time i love this movie
Producer: "Clint didn't have the jacket on during the duel. But he had it right before he entered the graveyard. What do we do?"
Sergio Leone: "I have an idea"
is this true?
And his poncho was found.
This is basically a prequel to the other dollars movies. It's been confirmed.
@@FishManFish no
Im 33 yrs old and i grew up with these movies they used to show them on tv, very powerful depiction of the wild west and how terrible a nation divided was. This is a movie that is timeless.
Same I'm 36 & my dad would play this every Sunday & cook a huge dinner for all my mom & dads friends & I'd sit & watch this the entire time as a kid in the 90's ❤
I'm so happy I grew up with this masterpiece & the other two films
A golden-haired angel watches over him.
Greatest show of compassion in any film 🎥
This simple little scene is probably the best scene in the movie. Yes the shootout ending is good, the callous cruelty and dark humour but the little scenes add to the whole.
This scene makes me cry. The American Civil War (although fought for justifiable reasons) was still senseless to many, both Union and Confederate. If we should look at the Confederate atrocities, we should also look at the atrocities committed by the Union (Dakota War of 1862, Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, Sherman's Fiery March to the Sea).
As Sherman himself said, "War is Hell", and as Bart Simpson said, "There are no good wars. With the following exceptions, The American Revolution, WWII, and the Star Wars Trilogy". He did *not* mention The American Civil War, and for good reason. No matter how contemporary the historian, or their attempts to tell it, they will fail to understand that this war was barbaric to every person of every color, creed, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and side who fought in it.
I have learned that true compassion is rare.
This is a great movie I'm going to try and get all his western movies on dvd and I don't care what anyone says he's still my favourite Western actor
U would love Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , it's another masterpiece ❤
Actions speak louder than words in this memorable scene and throughout this movie. Thanks for uploading this clip:)
Can't think of a better way to ever die & take my last few breaths than having Clint Eastwood standing over me comforting me with his jacket & his cigar especially after fighting bravely in battle ❤
Nowdays kids will never understand the power of this movie....
trust me we do
me too
Absolutely agreed
If you are a big brother or a dad pls show this movie to your kids.
I do lol
MFR. My heart and soul tears to pieces when I witness young men die in battle all for not. It´s our never ending curse!
Morricone maestro italiano 🇮🇹 is impossible don't cry after this scene... You can see the goodness and the evil of the world close in one scene! The good and the evil, life and death and God and the devil... God bless everybody we need and deserve a better world for us and our children!
Ennio’s masterpiece
Rest lightly on him, earth and dew. For he placed such little weight on you
Not a single word spoken, and yet it is one of the most powerful scenes in the movie.
Glad to have an old man as my dad
Amazing movie and very sad scene.
best scene ever
Fuck, this movie is great
I love how he leaves the coat and takes the poncho instead
This part to me is the most memorable part of the movie also touching.
The soldier looks stunning and hot af .... the jawline the hunter eyes make him look super handsome for 1960s time ...
No words just music and a message
Some see bodies, some see souls.
Epic movie. There are parts where there is so much testosterone that you could grow a beard in record time from just watching it, and then there are scenes like this which can make the world look misty.
I always have tears when I see this scene, I think it's okay to be like that, no manhood challenged.... Clint plz live for 100 yrs at least....
Tuco's mind was deceiving all the time but all those mischiefs were innocent ,would make you love him even more
I always thought the young soldier looked like Jan Michael Vincent.
I thought he looked like James Franco!
Clint Eastwood always made the best heroes. Always good where it really counted with none of the fluff. I wish movies had more scenes like this. You could tell the story just fine without this but it really makes you invested in rooting for blondie
Blondie didn't know his name, where he lived, or if he has any family, all he knew was that this young soldier was in pain, dying and scared. Being there to keep him company, giving him his coat, and sharing a cigar was all that Blondie could do and maybe that was enough for the soldier to know he was cared for at the end.
Ennio really was something
This ost Burns my heart
There's no doubt that Leone was atleast partially inspired by some of the American westerns when doing these movies. But as great as John Ford or Sam Peckinpah movies are, there's something more authentic about Leone's directing style, it almost feels like a scene what really could have happened back in the day. And of course Morricones music is big part of the whole scenery too.
That's because American westerns were heavily influenced by John Wayne's belief that the good guys should always win. Because if you notice that the goods guys were always lawmen or average citizens trying to do the right thing. Meanwhile, Leone's films were grounded more in realism.
Best scene ever... EVER
this showed some small amounts of decceny and good can be found in a horror show meatgrinder of a war. Clint showed compassion n grace befitting any soldier!
Likely the most moving scene ever filmed
Ennio Morricone... The father of scores
One of the most great film
a man like this... he say to the covid "grab a shovel" and you dont have no more trouble, virus long gone
Such a beautiful scene, blink and you miss it.
Mighty decent of him!
What poetry
If science is ever there I was Clint Eastwood to do the same to me when I die
Clint Eastwood is a legend .the best
Hey kid, take a hit of this blunt before you go, this is some good ish
1:15 This shot represent itself. 2 frames, the good and the ugly
Wow, gets you right there
Surreal
That is so very sad.

❤️
This is why i smoke cigars today....
One of my biggest regrets. Not lighting a cigarette up on my dads death bed for him. Seriously. (We take too seriously what others do to themselves, its not our duty to write peoples lives. Compassion and empathy maybe will help us all see more clearly.)
I forgive you, Darwin (smokin aces)
is this william munny out of Missouri
trade the coat for the poncho.....
id make that trade,
would you make that trade, udevich ? yes sir !
Arthur
what is the name of the actor who is dying
Who is the dying soldier?
I think he was the guy in the movie waterloo that went into the middle of no mans land yelling "why do we kill eachother why why" a russian actor, i cant think of his name.
Who’s the evil guy who disliked this?
Could be Clint's son
🤐😥
No gloves touching a dying mans wound, fuck the fake covid-19, when Jesus God is behind you who can be against you. As our Father said," I give you not a spirit of fear but of one of strength, love and sound mind". People accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and fear not the flesh but fight in the spirit.
