The Captain is the character with the most depth I think. He seems irresponsible at first, like he doesn't care about his job, drunk like a sailor. Then you realize that alcohol is the only thing he has left to help him deal with the grief and the guilt of having to send his men out to die every day. By the time Blondie and Tuco blow the bridge up, he's fatally wounded, but he doesn't care that the objective is lost, or even that he's gonna die. All he cares about are the lives he has saved.

3:30 - "We, and the ones over on the other side of the river only have one thing in common. All of us reek of alcohol." One of my favourite quotes from that film.
This movie was one of the first to tap into what we today would call a real epic. It holds up today so well it’s amazing, never a dull moment despite its length and age. Such a masterpiece
It's not one of the first to tap into what we'd call a real epic, there is countless films before this which could be described as an epic, The Ten Commandments original silent and remake, Ben-Hur again both original and remake, Quo Vadis, Metropolis, Both Die Nibelungen films, Doctor Zhivago, Giant, Gone With The Wind, Cleopatra, Lawrence Of Arabia, Spartacus, The Bridge On The River Kwai, King Kong, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World etc, you can't say this is one of the first.
Gantry Odie No..for real,like he was almost killed in the fox hole with Tuco,a rock from the blast landed inches from his head when they blow he bridge..I watched it and was like “Damn that was close!” so I googled the scene and yep..Clint said he almost bought the farm in an interview.
@Mark Richards I think that's an instrumental part of 'La Storia di un Soldato' by Ennio Morricone - that's the song which the POW's are singing when Tuco is being tortured - and probably my personal favourite piece of music in this film. It's actually quite a harrowing song when you listen to it.
The Captain’s comment about Tuco making Colonel at least: The Captain says about the bridge being so important to the planners and high ranking officers but he’d like to blow it up to save his men from a pointless death. The comment about the drink is that the more you drink the more oblivious out become, the more detached from reality you are. Therefore the higher rank you’ll become as with rank comes detachment. It’s such a subtle piece in a film full of excellent vignettes.
“Stupid, useless bridge! A flyspeck on headquarters map. And headquarters has declared we must take that ridiculous flyspeck.” *Artillery exploding*. “They’re beginning the daily slaughter right on time” Love those lines showing the utter ridiculousness of war.
You can have guts for one thing but not the other. Maybe the Captain has become desensitised about artillery strikes but wouldn't be able to deal with others reactions to him blowing up the bridge and thus being seen as a "traitor" or something like that.
The voice actor who provided his voice for the Captain, is the same actor that provided his voice for Gian Maria Volonte's characters as Ramon and Indio in Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More respectively. Listen carefully as the Captain speaks. :)
Aldo Giuffré ... Just to remember the great actor behind the captain Clint. Amazing acting, so real, so crude and the perfect transposition of the war and the impact on the soldiers. He died in 2010, now with Ennio Morricone death, the protagonists of this masterpiece (one of the most beautiful movie in the history) are slowly abbandoning us cause of the time, but the film will continue to grow emotions and feelings forever.
the good the bad and the ugly was on a much greater scale than the other dollar films. great civil war scene. the captain was very cynical yet keen to save lives. he seemed a bit in awe of blondie. tuco was more to his liking.
It's one of my favourite movies, but the civil war scenes were a bit historically inaccurate. Not sure which parts of the western theatre they are trying to depict, or which engagement this scene is based on.
I visited the filming location a while back. You can still make out some of the trenches in the hillside. The river is much smaller now and pretty much hidden by vegetation. What looks like a dirt road in front of the union position is now an asphalt road.
There is something rather "Heart of Darkness"-ish in this scene that I really like. It digresses from the main plot to deliver this depiction of war as futile, nonsensical and, particularly, tedious, repetitive and almost bureaucratic, signalling the consequences that a distant, impersonal bureaucracy, has of manslaughter and destruction of the captains self. There is no life for him after or before that bridge, as happens to some of Conrad's characters.
the bridge scene... which shows the madness and the nonsense of war... clearly shows Sergio's revulsion towards war, even more visible in "Giu la testa" -> much too underrated movie
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti1663 Wat is more sadder now is men and women both are being wasted by getting thier minds ruined by media. A slow death is much worse.
CGI is a tool that can be great and terrible. I know practical effects and their value but they are no kind of secret grail that isn't used anymore. Many studios use great CGI - which you know is great because you don't notice it even though its there.
@@Arcaryon CGI when used to create things or alter footage with tinting is always horrible and a great movie killer, look at godzilla, jurassic world, and the Dune trailer among many other things, it doesn't even look like a real environment anymore, it looks like some pre-rendered videogamr footage. Only instance CGI should be allowed it to remove wired and such and even then it's doubtful if you'd even call that CGI. Nowadays people pride themselves on shooting in front of a green screen, sucking all the color out of everything, and not even having to build a set. CGI and it's artists are a huge pest on cinema.
Who ever made this movie and the actors even all junior actors. I hope they find place in heaven. Every character in movie has its own taste. Wonder why it didn't win a single Oscar? But it is still winning hearts even in 21st century. Thank you peeti for introducing me this movie. RIP buddy.
Sergio hand picked all the actors including the extras.That is why it is so much deeper and superior. Every thing on screen had a point, not just scenery or furniture to fill out a frame.
Captain: "Ahhh . . you look like you have a career . .I say at minimum you'll make Colonel" Tuco: "Really??!!!" I always laugh at the ridiculousness of Tuco's answer in that he honestly believes the Captain's statement that his ability to slug down whiskey equates to rank . .
The point is the more you drink the more oblivious you become, the higher the rank you should be. Very subtle excellent writing. Tuco is of course a man of comically low intelligence in these circumstances and takes the point as you state, rank is earned by drinking.
@@0IIIIII I disagree. Tuco fed off the praise and attention of powerful people. You could say he was also a bit of a people person. Moreover he had little guile, what you see is what you get with Tuco, its all on his face.
Only a foreign director would dare to make an American Civil War movie in which the average officer is implied to have spent more time drinking before battle than giving rousing speeches.
There were a lot of these spaghetti western 60sand 70s the one with Charles Bronson Henry Fonda was fantastic but this is just absolutely classic timeless it gets better and better how good is Eli Wallach in this
Many are commenting the irony of the captain claiming he has no guts while he is the only one not taking cover while bombing is happening. But this is the point. By having guts the captain does not mean being unafraid of being slaughtered. He is a nihilist alcoholic, but a very aware one, and he has just concluded a rant about how booze is used to send men to their death. He clearly despises the practice, among other things because alcohol merely creates the illusion of courage - courage is facing the danger despite being aware of its magnitude, not assuming substances which make you less aware. A bit of alcohol may be enough to charge to your own death, but doing something out of the box, defying authority to save lives? That takes something more.
It took a European movie and a European director to capture the awesome tragedy that was the American Civil War. These scenes rival Gone With the Wind.
Ah, the New Mexico Campaign of the Civil War, painted with the anti-war sentiment of this essential film's release during the Vietnam era. Like if your kids and grandkids will be made to watch this silver screen masterpiece as well.
Captain: (Starts to drink vine) "Where the hell you from?" Blondie: "Illinois" Captain: (looks to Tuco) "And you?" Tuco: "I am with him" Captain: " .... (immediatley stops drinking) These little subtile things is pure gold and makes this movie so great
The Captain is best actor ever seen in the drunken act. Last night he was drunken too much and this Morning, he relieve his hangout with new drink. When blonde and tuco meet him, His tough sighs are saying everything what I said.
Representative of any number of bloodbaths involving the default tactic of massed infantry attacks against well defended positions, and still one of the most accurate depictions of Civil War detail ever filmed. The scene brings to mind in particular the Burnside Bridge at Antietam, which similarly, both sides wanted to preserve, hence turning it into a concentration of slaughter.
There's another rendition of "the Strong" that plays when blondie gives the wounded captain a drink during the Branston Bridge battle.I've been looking all over for it
It's the captain's just a charming comedic tragic person trapped by circumstance and he don't want to be around the ear anymore Basically he's got a death wish cos he can't see a way out The bridge is the captain's demon He has a conscience His career work brain is interfering with his moral codes, he's faced with internal conflict The bridge is killing loads of shoulders and all he wants to do is safe as many lives as he can, only way he can do that is bkoe up the bridge but he "lacks the guts" he says bless him Knowing that if he blow up bridge and saves lives, he ruins his own and gets court martialed If he don't blow up the bridge, so many lives will be destroyed He's faced with a moral dilemma You can't help but love him, feel for him and just want to help him
You never see him in the movie, but it's easy to figure that the Confederate commander is hung upon the horns of the same moral dilemma as the Union captain is, and likely is also drinking heavily as a result of sending so many boys into a meat grinder because he's got orders he can't bring himself to disobey. He too would like to see that bridge blown up but he also can't do it. Hence the Daily Slaughter, always starting on time.
The Captain is the character with the most depth I think. He seems irresponsible at first, like he doesn't care about his job, drunk like a sailor. Then you realize that alcohol is the only thing he has left to help him deal with the grief and the guilt of having to send his men out to die every day.

I think that's an instrumental part of 'La Storia di un Soldato' by Ennio Morricone - that's the song which the POW's are singing when Tuco is being tortured - and probably my personal favourite piece of music in this film. It's actually quite a harrowing song when you listen to it.
mine too, very beautiful melody on the bugle (or trumpet, not sure) Ennio died this year. And the choir adds so much atmosphere.
The Captain’s comment about Tuco making Colonel at least:
The Captain says about the bridge being so important to the planners and high ranking officers but he’d like to blow it up to save his men from a pointless death.
The comment about the drink is that the more you drink the more oblivious out become, the more detached from reality you are. Therefore the higher rank you’ll become as with rank comes detachment.
It’s such a subtle piece in a film full of excellent vignettes.
When i was younger i watched this so many times with my grandpa. Good times
I’m the 69th like just saying
@Emerio Manzano I wish I knew my great grandfather, but he'd be in his almost 140's by now.
During my childhood I watched it many times with my grandpa. He was 42 when this movie was made. This movie is over 30 years older than me.
“Stupid, useless bridge! A flyspeck on headquarters map. And headquarters has declared we must take that ridiculous flyspeck.”
*Artillery exploding*. “They’re beginning the daily slaughter right on time”
Love those lines showing the utter ridiculousness of war.
"What I lack is guts", meanwhile the Captain doesn't even flinch during the artillery strike, brilliant part on the directors behalf.
You can have guts for one thing but not the other. Maybe the Captain has become desensitised about artillery strikes but wouldn't be able to deal with others reactions to him blowing up the bridge and thus being seen as a "traitor" or something like that.

@@pitedapollo6175 Look at the first day of Cold Harbor, 1864, 18,000 wasted, more than half in just 7 minutes. Gatling Guns in this battle, too
3:47 Loved that part!
this is the greatest wild west movie of all time!
Looks like a lot of men for a captain to command
Grandpa, tell some more stories about those 2 cowboys named ehh and ehh
(3:46)
Everything Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone collaborated on were Master Pieces. They are together Timeless as were their Films.
Blondie and tuco are Amazing the whole time they never took their mind off the gold. Or their ambition s
It's the captain's just a charming comedic tragic person trapped by circumstance and he don't want to be around the ear anymore
Basically he's got a death wish cos he can't see a way out
The bridge is the captain's demon
He has a conscience
His career work brain is interfering with his moral codes, he's faced with internal conflict
The bridge is killing loads of shoulders and all he wants to do is safe as many lives as he can, only way he can do that is bkoe up the bridge but he "lacks the guts" he says bless him
Knowing that if he blow up bridge and saves lives, he ruins his own and gets court martialed
If he don't blow up the bridge, so many lives will be destroyed
He's faced with a moral dilemma
You can't help but love him, feel for him and just want to help him
Exactly and in the end, it felt so gratifying to seem him smiling knowing his dream of the bridge being destroyed came true just before he died...
You never see him in the movie, but it's easy to figure that the Confederate commander is hung upon the horns of the same moral dilemma as the Union captain is, and likely is also drinking heavily as a result of sending so many boys into a meat grinder because he's got orders he can't bring himself to disobey. He too would like to see that bridge blown up but he also can't do it. Hence the Daily Slaughter, always starting on time.
Eli Wallach was Joe pesci of 70s )
You think I'm funny?
this movie was made in the mid-60's...not 70's.
HowardU Grad he met Wallach is the equivalent of Joe Pesci from 1970s. He should know that The Good, The Bad, and Ugly was filmed in 1966
I love this scene
It's scary how much the US Civil War predicted the mediocre tactics of WW1 trench warfare.
Exactly, this scene was inspired by italian ww1 front sjnce the movie is italian
Good captain
How can we forget that war?
