The "Spaghetti Westerns" were shot in Italy and Spain by Italian directors with American leading men and European casts. Some of the actors would speak English, others Italian, others Spanish, etc. The final films would be dubbed into various languages for distribution in German, Spain, Italy, France, etc. So rather than have all the actors speak one language, everyone just did their dialogue in their native language and it was all dubbed over later.
This movie is an adaptation of the Akira Kurosawa film, Yojimbo. The sequel basically follows the same plot as Yojimbo's sequel, Sanjuro. Sergio Leone was one of the first, if not the first, director to equate gunfighters and Ronin. The lone, morally ambiguous antihero became a popular western trope after this.
Sanjuro is about a corrupt politician trying to usurp power, but has to get rid of a group of samurai to achieve this, the latter who end up getting help from Mifune's Sanjuro who has to keep the nincompoops from getting themselves killed through their impetuous actions. The Leone sequel is about two bounty hunters going after a gang. I don't quite see the similarity in plot - maybe you're thinking of something else?
Well, if memory serves, Kurosawa was inspired strongly by the American western in his style and story. And then Leone was inspired (meaning he copied shamelessly) by Yojimbo. So really, Kurosawa would be the first to equate ronin with gunfighters, and Leone completed the circle.
The shots he used and the music was definitely inspired by Kurosawa.
This is definitely better
@@JBuddis Isn't Sanjuro the inspeartion for "The maginficent 7"? At least I have heared "The Maginificent 7" was inspired by a japanise film about 7 Samurai.
Yep, it's a trilogy, and all the movies are spaghetti westerns. Also, it is a popular opinion that Once Upon a Time in the West is Sergio Leone's masterpiece. All the cinematic elements that make his movies so great were kicked up a notch in that one. It's my favorite by far.
I second that, definitely watch Once Upon a Time in the West.
You see, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who call "Once Upon a Time in the West" Sergio Leone's best, and those who prefer "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly". 😁
Yep, it's a trilogy, but the stories are not sequels nor prequels.
@mori1bund I love them both. Absolutely breathtaking music and cinematography. I think I just liked the story of One Upon a little better. But it's hard to beat the Ecstacy of Gold and the final showdown in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
@@marshallprince2583 point taken, but that ruins my "two kinds of people" movie quote 🤣
Fun fact, Clint was allergic to horses lol. But after this trilogy I hope you do more Eastwood Westerns. All are great imo
This is the movie that made Eastwood a star, however not his first movie, his first movie was Tarantula in 1957. It is a trilogy,
A Fistful of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
I also recommend many of his other films like Gran Torino, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Dirty Harry franchise, and many more. He's my favorite actor/director of all time along with Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg and Ishiro Honda.
These westerns were normally produced by Italian production companies, so a lot of the actors were Italian, West German, British, Spanish; the list goes on. Naturally they dubbed everyone in front of the camera since everything was recorded in post-production. There are books on the subject written by Leone biographer Sir Christopher Frayling. You should check them out for in-depth details.
They didn't need to call for quiet on the set, since they were not recording sound anyway.
It's considered a trilogy, but has no real continuity other than Clint Eastwood playing essentially the same character. You will see many of the same actors playing different roles throughout the movies. Everyone is dubbed, they did not record audio on set, and most of the actors didn't even speak English, so they acted in their language and were dubbed over in post.
And the last film in the trilogy is a prequel to the first two.
@@jgmediting7770 I was going to say that if you hadn't. Chronologically TG,TB&TU should happen before Fistful. It also makes for a nice character arc for Eastwood. He starts as an outlaw, graduates to a wandering antihero, and then ends up a (legitimate) bounty hunter. In a way it kind of mimics the gradual civilization of the West as well.
Nobody cares cuz it's still the best movie trilogy regardless!!!! Alien trilogy & the Dead trilogy are 2nd & 3rd & then Star Wars trilogy after them first three I named!!!! The Godfather trilogy is almost perfect but the first two films are so perfect that it makes the final third film seem like complete shit even if it's still decent , the first two films are too damn perfect to fill their shoes ever!!
I love the way Leone compose his shots, very dinamic, they look like ilustrations!
They're called Spaghetti Westerns because of the Italian directors. 95% of them were filmed in Spain with mostly Italian and Spaniard actors but also German, American, French and other Euros. This is from 1964.
A Few Dollars More established the series, but For A Few Dollars More and especially The Good, The Bad and The Ugly are even better. Each film is technically a stand alone story, with all unique characters (but many shared actors), but still builds upon the achievements, complexity, and tone of the one before, reaching a glorious crescendo at the finale of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
You mean a fistful establishes
Good choice. Once you finish the trilogy you will want to watch, "Once Upon a Time in the West". They are all spaghetti western classics.
A few other early Clint Eastwood westerns that came along after this trilogy: High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Jose Wales & Pale Rider. All three of those are great. Then his fist fighter movies: Every Which Way But Loose & Any Which Way You Can.
The Dollars trilogy is fun, but I seriously can’t wait for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly! You’ll get a kick out of it!
Can’t wait!!
These movies were also made to be nontraditional and were considered cutting edge for the time. This was the reason they did so well. The average movie goer was board with the same thing. The standard Hollywood Western but Hollywood didn’t pay attention until it was too late. It was a couple of years before these finally came to the states but when they got here they were accepted by the movie audience for the fresh take on the Western.
Fun fact, the whole "Dollars Trilogy" was a marketing gimmick to drum up more audience investment in these three basically unrelated movies when they were released in the US.
"Right", and wrong. The "Dollars Trilogy" was indeed a marketing gimmick, however they were CLEARLY related, too many damned coincidences otherwise if they are not. The actual marketing gimmick they used at THAT TIME, in the USA, was "The Man With No Name"gimmick.
This particular movie in the trilogy was indeed shot in Italian language, and later it was cut out so they could add all kinds of different languages as dubs, including english. It is what it is ! This is a very memorable film, I saw it as a young kid with my grandpa and I was amazed to be honest ! The music is kinda insane too, Morricone is a legend in these films! The villain in particular is someone I never forgotten and he is even more amazing in For a few dollars More !
Its an iconic film that sparked the whole genre ! Its as if stylish cinema started here in this trilogy ! No wonder Tarantino was inspired !
The actors spoke their native language and the film’s dialogue was dubbed in later
Filmed entirely in Spain. The audio is all Foley and dubbed as the budget for the movie wouldn't allow for on site recording. Part of the charm of these movies.
I wouldn't worry about the "Dollars" movies being a trilogy. It's more that they are three movies made by the same filmmakers featuring a lot of the same actors. Clint plays pretty much the guy you see him as here but lots of other actors in this are in the other two as different characters. It's not worth getting hung up on, especially when you consider that the third film takes place during the Civil War which would make "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" a prequel to the other two - but it's really not worth worrying about at all.
Others have spoken about the dubbing. Most European movies of the time would get dubbed in at least half a dozen different languages so maybe they might record a guide track on set, but usually not if the producer didn't want to pay for sound gear. It was not uncommon for three actors in a scene to not have a single language in common so each actor might speak his lines in his own language - in this case Clint spoke English, the actor playing Silvanito spoke Italian, and the actor playing the coffin maker spoke German, for example. Fellini often used people who weren't actors who had no experience memorizing lines so he would just have them count up to twenty or whatever gave enough room for whatever needed to be said. Americans who encountered this for the first time said it was really weird and took some getting used to, but it was very effective at getting the performance the director wanted on film so they found ways to adjust. They'd know what the other actors were saying even if they didn't understand the words so they'd act to the meaning of the words and they'd sort it out during post because it would need to be finished in loads of different languages anyway.
There was a high budget, well-regarded movie called "The Leopard" that starred Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon, and Claudia Cardinale as Italian characters in a story that took place in the 19th century. The director's preferred version had everything dubbed into Italian because that's what the characters would be speaking but it takes a bit of an adjustment not hearing Burt Lancaster's distinctive voice come out of his mouth even though his New York accent plays hell with verisimilitude in the English language version. Alain Delon could act comfortably in English, Italian, and his native French so he often is heard as himself but not always. Cardinale was dubbed by other actresses for most of her career because she came from North Africa and had an accent that some thought of as lower class, and she also had a gravelly, husky voice which some didn't like but as long as the option existed to revoice her she did just fine. All this was very common, even more so in England. All through the '60s all the girls in the James Bond films had their voices replaced, usually by the same voice actress, apart from Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg who were established stars before they were cast in Bond so people knew what they sounded like.
Eastwood said he noticed that unlike in everything he was in back in Hollywood nobody on the "Fistful of Dollars" set was making a note of what anybody said during the takes so he started taking notes of what he said during which take because he thought it might come in handy. Three years later when they called him back to dub the English version (the movie was a success in Europe and overseas long before it was released in America) Eastwood was able to refer to his notes so his lips would usually match better than most. Dubbing movies like this into other languages was something of a cottage industry in Europe - a handful of expatriate Americans would often take charge of making the English language soundtracks for things, which involved translating the scripted dialogue into reasonable English that approximately matched the on-screen lip movements for length, more or less, and a handful of Americans who lived in Rome would usually be called in to dub the English version when the original actor was unavailable or if their English wasn't good enough. Gian Maria Volonte who played Ramon and has a key role in "For a Few Dollars More" spoke Italian, Spanish, and English well enough to dub all his own lines, but on some movies another voice entirely would be deliberately chosen for creative reasons, if the character he was playing needed to be less robust and masculine, for example. A lot of directors in that part of the world took the dubbing stage as another stage in the creative process rather than just a rather dull chore that had to be dealt with. Most of the world was used to having movies dubbed into their own language so it wasn't an issue for most audiences, but U.S. critics always snarked about it. In America and England rubbery sync as seen in this was code for "low budget and low quality" but if one could get past that one would have a lot more fun.
One other thing - this movie was an unofficial remake of Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo." Same plot as this except the character Clint plays is a masterless samurai fucking with two criminal families in a crappy little town. Same deal as with Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" and "The Magnificent Seven" only nobody involved with "A Fistful of Dollars" bothered to lock down any remake rights so lawsuits happened. Kurosawa won the case and was awarded (if memory serves) the profits of "Fistful of Dollars" in Japan which he said later earned him more money than he made all the rest of his directing career so he had no complaints at all. 🤣
It is a spaghetti western. Interestingly, the Rick Dalton character in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD mirrors the career of Clint Eastwood.
They sell it as "The Dollars" trilogy, but it is not really a trilogy. They are three separate movies. Everyone is playing different characters in each movie and there is no link between them. Clint Eastwood is also called "The Man With No Name" even though he has a name in each movie.
"The Outlaw Josie Wales" is another western worth checking out.
Music is by Ennio Morricone. He is up there with John Williams and Hans Zimmer.
The man in the beginning who was 'riding away' with the 'adios' sign on his back is dead. That was why his head was supported with the y branch.
That's what I thought, too, but I couldn't find anything in a quick search to verify it. Thanks for sharing that!
The "Spaghetti Westerns" with clint Eastwood were awesome when they were released, the Spanish/Italian film industry churned out hundreds of Western Genre movies, some of them are still classics, american actors like Lee Van Cleef and many others acted in a bunch of them, as a kid we were always excited to go the the movie theatre to see the next one. 'Death Rides a Horse" is one of my favourites.
the original Django is the best from 1966
Personally one of my favorite western movie is Once upon a time in west with Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinal and Jason Hobart , I find the set , the story and music is as good as the movie the Good,the Bad and the Ugly
Ouattw isn’t a movie, it’s a work of art.
Yes the whole film was dubbed. It was quite common in Italian film at the time to film without sound on set. Even Clint Eastwood was dubbed, the reason he seems more synced is that he did his own ADR and it wasn't another actor like most of the other actors.
Fist Full of Dollars is a remake of the Japanese film by Akira Kurosawa, starring Toshiro Mifune in1961. Yojimbo also an excellent film. Samurai swords instead of guns.
The guy riding the horse with the “adios amigo” sign was actually dead. The bell was rung to let the people know that a death had occurred.
Outlaw Josey Wales is my favorite Eastwood western....
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽️🥧😊
Keep it up with these Sergio Leone westerns. There's a rising interest in them due to their strong influence on the Red Dead Redemption games.
While this movie was called a "Spaghetti western," this was mostly shot in Spain, as most Italian produced "westerns" were.
No you are 100% WRONG!!!
American filmmakers did not go to Italy to make westerns because it was cheaper.
This was an Italian production from an Italian director.
Clint Eastwood was the only American involved with the production.
And they’re called spaghetti westerns because the filmmakers are Italian, but these particular Eastwood westerns were shot in Spain.
The "standard" 'western" trope is this: a stranger comes into town. He sees an injustice and his personal moral compass compels him to right the wrongs. And once things are back to the way they should be, the hero moves on. Pre 70's westerns all tended to follow this script. It was all very formulaic. (but it produced some darn good westerns) I am fond of the "Man with no name" triology but serarch for the best "vintage" westerns too for some very entertaining movies.
After this I hope you guys react to the other man-with-no-name films; A Fistfull of Dollars More and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
this is not a western, this is a Spagetti Western and you can still visit the sets in Almeria (Spain) at Tabernas Desert
Most of the actors did not speak english. That's why everyone is dubbed.
I’m super excited to see you and Nobu react to _The Man with No Name/Fistful of Dollars_ Trilogy and looking forward to your eventual reaction to _The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly_ which is the best film in the trilogy.
Happy Early Thanksgiving White Noise Reacts and hopefully you guys will take a short breather from the Fantasy/Disney Live-Action remakes next month and react to some Christmas Movies that you and the girls haven’t seen for December.🎄🎄🎄
I thought the Trilogy consisted of A fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars more & The Good, the Bad &the Ugly.🤔
@@poppletop8331I know that, but you misinterpreted my quote, I’m more excited on their eventual reaction to _The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly_ and when I meant by eventual it means once they get into that film following the next Dollars film that is set to be released next week.
Great reaction thanks!
These gentlemen are such a delight! Thank you for this!
So stoked you guys are going back to older films, & Sergio Leone brought some really good ones…this trilogy is fantastic. Yes, there are some things “dated” but you gotta watch in context. In some ways the older films are better, had better writing in many cases because they didn’t have special effects to hide a poor script. Clint redefined the Western character & glad you guys enjoyed this. Look forward to seeing more Westerns, keep running through these & then follow up with “Once Upon a Time in the West” which is terrific. On top of Leone’s directing, none of these would have the spark without the score from Ennio Morricone…the maestro. (Another film to add: “A Fistful of Dynamite”, also a Leone/Morricone collaboration!). Yeah, I’d throw dynamite to make an entrance! 😎
Kurosawa’s ‘Yojimbo’ was the inspiration for Leone’s ‘Fistful of Dollars’ I'm not sure but I think people said it's a totally rip off of it correct me if I'm wrong .
From Wikipedia: "The film has been identified as an unofficial remake of the Akira Kurosawa film Yojimbo (1961), which resulted in a successful lawsuit by Toho, Yojimbo's production company."
Ahh thanks, I knew something like that happened.
@@KaiC4C If you watch Yojimbo, about a ronin samurai who shows up and cleans up the town, back to back with Fistful of Dollars, you'll see that many of Kurosawa's shots are replicated by Leone, along with the basic plot.
Btw, one of the minor plot threads from Yojimbo is referenced and partly replicated in Tarantino's Kill Bill Pt 1.
@@parissimons6385 And yet, artistically, Leone still made it his own and crated a new style and approach to westerns that changed the genre (and cinema) forever. Morally, tough, it was a dick move, and legally it ended up not being much better.
This is the same plot as "Yojimbo" which is why there is no credit for screen play. Toho sued Leone, but Kurosawa liked the movie.
Sergio Leone shot all his films with no sound and all the actors dubbed their lines later in the studio. He also did it to control the sounds you hear as to emphasize them in different ways. They were added in during post-production. With an international cast (he was Italian), the English dubbing of non-English actors was a similar process. Kind of amazing. You can see Clint is speaking English (he dubbed his lines by trying to match his lips moving on camera) but other actors speak their native language.
this is a westernized remake of akira kurasawa's " yojimbo". kurasawa even sued and won
Kurosawa was inspired by Red Harvest, he could've been sued himself.
Thank you guys for reacting A Fistful of Dollars starring by Clint Eastwood.. Next time For a Few Dollars More
Two others I haven’t seen recommended: “Hang’Em High” and, especially, “Two Mules for Sister Sara” with Shirley MacLaine. That one is unexpectedly hilarious. “Once Upon A Time in the West” is an absolute must. Charles Bronson’s debut and the one time in his storied career Henry Fonda played an out-and-out villain.
If you’re going to delve into the genre, set aside some time. Like, years. John Wayne’s highlights alone will take forever. “Statecoach,” “Red River,” “The Quiet Man,” “Rio Bravo,” “McClintock,” “Chisum,” “True Grit,” “The Searchers,” “Big Jake,” “The Shootist.” I’ve left out at least a dozen other must-see classics.
Love this film so much
There are three Leone/Eatwood westerns, but Once Upon a Time in the West (which star Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda and Jason Robbards) is perhaps Leones masterpiece alongside the gangster epic Once upon a Time in America, which is right up there with The Godfather. Why nobody reacts to it is still a mistery.
This film CREATED the spaghetti western. They were usually shot in Almeria, Spain. Leone did film quite a lot of Once upon a Time in the West in the US tough, on some iconic locations. Spaguetti western were Italian, not american, with sometimes german or spanish money (and actors) put in too. The actors would all speak in their native language and then the movie would be dubbed in post to several languages.
The beginning of a great journey and the quality goes up with each movie in the trilogy. Watch these three and then "Once Upon a Time in the West."
By the way, you're wrong, this is 1964 not 1967. Clint Eastwood was still in the "Rawhide" TV series. This was made by the Italian director Sergio Leone in Spain.
We are so used to the big special effects and the over the top production budgets and big sound tracks, we can kind of lose the stories. The older movies like this tell stories and didn't have all of the big budget to fall back on.
You need to watch the entire trilogy, A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
The third film is the best one in the Dollars Trilogy or The Man With No Name Series.
For a Few Dollars More is better than The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but the latter has some pretty great moments.
@@RexFuturi No, it isn't. But both are masterpieces.
For A Few is better but A Fistful Of Dynamite is Leone's unsung gem@@Dacre1000
There's a Japanese made spaghetti western 'parody' called Sukiyaki Western Django. There are guns and katanas. Tarantino was there as a cameo. It was wild 😂
Besides this Trilogy, the greatest Spaghetti Westerns are..Once Upon A Time In The West, The Great Silence, the original Django, The Mercenary, Death Rides A Horse, The Return Of Ringo, and If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death.
If you want to stick with Clint Eastwood Westerns you should watch "Pale Rider" which is more in the middle of his career and "Unforgiving" near the end of his western movie career.
Such an awesome movie! Clint Eastwood is the coolest
Great job guys! You will both enjoy all the movies!
If you watch The Man with No Name trilogy, you should then watch the samurai movie "Yojimbo". "A fist full of dollars" is: "The film has been identified as an unofficial remake of the Akira Kurosawa film Yojimbo (1961), which resulted in a successful lawsuit by Toho, Yojimbo's production company."
It's so funny that the iconic Eastwood movies are made in Spain, by an Italian who copied Japanese movies that were based on American Westerns! Talk about melting pots!
When I saw "A Fistful of Dollars" in the theater in 1967, a number of things stood out, compared to the Hollywood Western:
People looked like they stepped out of photos of the Old West: They were ordinary/ugly/bearded/ragged.
The Spanish locale looked more like the Real West than John Ford's opuses.
The difference between "the good guy" and "the bad guys" was razor thin.
Since I hadn't seen "Yojimbo" (1961), I didn't realize that it was "an homage"/blatant copy.;)
Clint eastwood in his favourite Western The Outlaw Jose Wales... brilliant stuff
This is specifically a "spaghetti" western, and yes, this is the exact sort of film that would have influenced Tarantino, and on into the 70s with "exploitation" genre films. These 3 movies are unconnected, except for the fact that basically the same people are doing each of the films in the "trilogy" one after the other. So a bit like how "Robocop," "Total Recall," and "Starship Troopers" are a completely unconnected "trilogy" of films. BTW, not sure if you are familiar with the terms "picaro" or "picaresque," but that's what this is. From wiki, *picaresque novel:* "It depicts the adventures of a roguish but appealing hero, usually of low social class, who lives by his wits in a corrupt society." This is distinct from the classic western. (Look it up, you'll appreciate it.)
i love the music in these movies and my opinion they are the best western movies
Sergio Leone wanted an Hollywood movie star. The role was proposed to Henry Fonda ( 3 decades of movies, at that time) , Charles Bronson (one decade of movies) and James Coburn ( 3 westerns, The Magnificent Seven 1960 included) .
They were all too costly for production. Clint Eastwood was known for the TV Show Rawhide, not for his movies, yet.
So, he was affordable.
The 3 actors solicited ended up playing in Sergio Leone's movies. Once Upon A Time in the West 1968 and Duck, You Sucker ! 1972.
There was a series of books about the Man With No Name which portrayed him as a bounty hunter. I don’t know if the books or the movies came first.
I believe the scene where Clint asks Marisol if she believes Ramon’s philosophy that he wanted to see her reaction & whether or not she was worth saving.....
Recommend also Red River, magnificent 7, Cat Ballou, Silverado and Unforgiven etc as a sampling across the history of different cinematic approaches to westerns
The score is by the great Ennio Morricone. He did the scores for all 3 of these films, and many other films. You should definitely check out some of Akira Kurosawa's films like The Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Ikiru, Throne of Blood and The Hidden Fortress (which George Lucas says inspired Star Wars.).
Yes, after this is "For A Few Dollars More" then the final of the 3, "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". Welcome to the World of Westerns, you'll love it here!!
That guy on the horse with the note on his back at the beginning of the move isn't riding away, he's dead and tied to the back of his horse, which is just walking on its own--that's why Clint tips his hat as he goes.
Actually, Clint's first movie was a minor role in Revenge of the Creature. He was also in the western show Rawhide
I hope u guys react to the other sequels Especially The Good The Bad and the Ugly
Once you finish what is known as 'The Dollars Trilogy,' among other names, watch one additional Sergio Leone film, "Once Upon a Time in the West." Then jump Sergios and watch Corbucci's "The Great Silence."
Wait until you guys see Lee Van Cleef in For a Few Dollars More. One of the best cinema baddies of the 60's and 70's.
If you can, watch “Yojimbo” (1961) by Akira Kurosawa which was the original inspiration for “Fistful.” Some scenes are almost exact replicas, despite Yojimbo being set in Edo era Japan around 1869.
This was an unofficial remake of Kurosawa's Yojimbo. I hope you will pick up Kurosawa's movies at some point, you won't be disappointed. And this isn't Hollywood but Italian with an international cast who didn't all speak English. Also, it was shot on location in Spain but calling it a tapas western just doesn't have the same ring as calling it a spaghetti western I guess.
Definite classic
Can't wait for the good the bad the ugly! One of my faves.
You guys must also check out the mask of zorro with Antonio banderas and Anthony Hopkins! That is one of my fave movies of all time! The sequel legend of zorro is OK but first one for me is awesome ! 👍🔥😎
If you want a "modern" version of this movie you should watch Last Man Standing, main actor is Bruce Willis, co starring Christopher Walken. It's the same story but in the 1920's or 30's. Really cool gangster movie! 😉👍
Can't wait for the upcoming sequel reaction
Yes you are correct most are dubbed. A lot of the actors were Italian Spanish and other nationalities and had heavy accents while speaking English so they dubbed it to cover it up.
Almost all the actors except Clint were from Italy- their dialog was dubbed. The movie was made by an Italian studio, but shot mainly in Spain, believe it or not.
I think you'll gonna love these! Definitely should watch Unforgiven too after the trilogy.
I’m hyped on both your reaction to _The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly_ once it comes out and Happy Thanksgiving White Noise Reacts.
Also I hope you guys will react to more Clint Eastwood films be it westerns or his other films (e.g. Gran Torino, The Mule), at the same time I hope next month you take a short breather from the Fantasy/Disney Live-Action remakes reactions and react to some Christmas Movies that you and the girls haven’t seen for December.🎄🎄🎄
You need to watch High Plains Drifter. One of my favorites. 😊
one of the great trilogies of cinema.
and there are elements of Clint Eastwoods character that CAN tie all three movies as one continuity but in reverse order. (if you ignore the same actors playing different characters that is)
the most popular element is his costume and gun usage but the most interesting part is how his moral character progresses from the 3rd movie to this 1st movie where he's at his most heroic.
And in the 2nd you can somewhat see who he associated with Marisol's situation and how no one was there to help.
Not sure if this was really intended but it's a fun way to watch this trilogy.
You guys really need to watch full metal jacket
This is DEFINITELY a spaghetti western. The Dollars trilogy films are by far the most famous, quintessential examples of spaghetti western. Everything about the style, the dubbed voices, the international cast all speaking different languages and just having it all dubbed into English (and every other language). The music is totally spaghetti western. Most people would whistle the Good Bad And the Ugly theme to illustrate spaghetti western music. DEFINITELY a spaghetti western, not a Hollywood western (ie: a movie made in the real west! )
Everyone was Dubbed.
The Eastwood's character in this three movie is called the stranger with no name.
They are called spaghetti westerns because the director, as well as, the composer of the music are Italian.
Ennio Moriconne singlehandedly defined western themes in these movies. When you think of "western sounding themes" you think of EM.
Can't wait for you guys to watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. You are going to laugh at it
Thanks! All will be revealed in the next one!
A Fistful Of Dollars is a very awesome.
Spaghetti Westerns were films made by (Originally) Italians but were shot in Spain.
I love Client in the westerns. My favorite is "Two Mules For Sister Sara". He is just my idea of western man.
It is a spaghetti western
Great trilogy! And one of those rare insatnces where the 3rd movie is the highest regarded.
Although it is a trilogy it's kind of an unofficial trilogy as Clint's character may not be the same guy in each film, (it is unclear) and there are definitely shared actors playing different characters. As such each film is it's own film and may not be related to each other.
This isn't technically a trilogy. Sergio leone considered this an anthology that includes: Once upon a time in the West and Duck you Sucker aka A Fistful of Dynamite
I believe you can visit the bits of towns and sets in Spain in the Tabernas Desert in land from Almeria that were used in the movies.
This is the "Guardian of the Galaxy" kind of movie.
Only it's almost 70 years old
