Is it just me or is this film way ahead of its time? Everything but the dubbed voices could be mistaken for a modern film. Why is Once Upon a Time in the West not celebrated like the other Leone spaghetti's?

Because plebs run the world.

It's ridiculous though, the Eastwood Leone films are great but nothing on this. Just listen to this fucking theme tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6BQKFs3-VM

>>70144674
It is celebrated amongst patricians and some people even say it's one of the best films of all time.

It's certainly mine.
>>
>>70144674
it had awesome cinematography but the story was very run of the mill western unlike TGTBATU or even the other dollars
>>
>>70144674
I didnt 'get it', liked it a lot but not this 10/10 that gets raved about. Can you guys chime in with why its so good? I felt the very end was a bit empty, the woman's character was 2D and the death of the capitalist bad guy was rushed

The opening is great, the development of the movie as well, but the ending is not really good. Still a solid 8/10

THOSE CHORD CHANGES *dies*

but it is. It's Leone's magnum opus.
>>
>>70146194
OUATITW is the superior film
>>
>>70144674

it got lost in the shuffle of controversial and blockbuster movies that were released in 1968

look at a list and you'll see what i mean

also the spaghetti westerns were not that popular at first, but gained their audiences in the ensuing years

>>70144674
Henry fonda should be Angel Eyes

>>70146194
Because it is you turd.

>Leone's magnum opus
Wasn't that supposed to be Once Upon a Time in America?
>>
>>70144674

Because OUATINW is too dark and "sad".

Its the best Western of all time, with the best cinematic score of all time, with the greatest climactic reveal of all time, with the greatest revenge story of all time.

TGTBATU is fun, but nowhere near this masterpiece.

OUATITW pales in comparison to TGTBATU

The plot is no where near as interesting as TGTBATU
the music is great but it still isn't as good

the opening cinematography of OUATITW is probably the best stuff from leone but that doesn't save it from the boring plot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWJ353FkIgc

you have to be a fucking retard to think OUATITW is better

>>70144674
Why didn't they record sound while filming?

why did Jill fuck Frank

that makes zero sense

Most of the actors were Italian I think. That's why most spaghetti westerns were dubbed.

Felt vulnerable and slid back to the lifestyle she was used to in order to save herself. Sex didn't mean that much to her as it did to the audience, so she felt like she wasn't betraying anything.

It's you, Leone was the best of the spaghetti westerners but it's not like he appeared out of thin air.

>Why is Once Upon a Time in the West not celebrated like the other Leone spaghetti's?
You're extremely ignorant if you think it's not
>>
Looks like we're shy one horse.

You brought two too many.
