best showdown is for a few dollars more. anime wouldnt exist in its current form without that scene . I dont see cowboy bebop happening without it so many eps were structured like this movie. spaghetti westerns get no where near enough credit for thier influence of ....gosh everything. Oh and the music in that showdown is sooo much betteer the musicbox mixed in with the trumpets and horns shit slaps

It was always a duel. That us the greatest part of that final scene. When you first watch you are Tuco, thinking desperately how to survice this truello. Who do you shoot? What are your chances? But once you learn the twist, from then on you are simply mesmerized by the secret that you are privy to. Realizing that Tuco is in no immediate danger despite his being unaware. Angel Eyes is in more danger than he knows, despite his focus on Blondie. And Blondie knows that he has just the slightest edge over Angel Eyes and that it is all the edge he needs. Thanks for this wonderful essay. I'm no film student. Just a film buff. And I've loved this sequence from the first time I saw it decades ago. My biggest film dream is to see it in the theater one day. Here's hoping.

despite loving this theme, knowing that the modern piano we hear developed much later than whatever this medieval looking fantasy world equates to in real history, the sound is too polished compared to the rest of the instruments textures which pairs perfectly with the visuals imo. it feels like piano doesn’t belong on game of thrones and makes it less convinving. that’s how i felt as a pianist myself, although, dragons and fckin white walkers and wargs exist in this story

Late on this thread, but I’m in the minority: I genuinely think that GoW should have won, and I love RDR2. For me, it comes down to innovation. If you compare GoW 2018 to the last game in the series, Ascension, it’s a night and day difference, and supremely improved. If I look at RDR1 and RDR2, the gameplay loop is identical. Ironically, my least favorite part of RDR2 is actually playing the game. I love exploring the world, experiencing the story, but once you’ve upgraded your guns fully (which you can do by Chapter 2) you don’t have any combat variety from then on. Point and shoot. It becomes such a slog ESPECIALLY from Guarma onward. Shooting gallery after shooting gallery. It all just becomes mindless after a while. In God of War, combat is more evolved, especially once you get the Blades. More combos to execute, more mechanics to pay attention to, more to keep the player engaged. Ultimately it comes down to preference, but for me, if I was stuck on a desert island with only one game to play, I’d take GoW. In my opinion, it’s simply the more enjoyable game.

I played this game mainly when I was 6-8 years old and I’d get these cycles of intense nostalgia related to it long after I was separated from my ps2. There truly aren’t any other games like this in its themes and mechanics. The environmental design despite being old is still pretty to take in as well. Also, now that I’m old enough (24) and decided to take a look at its story and all again this video broke it down nicely for me and I have a newfound appreciation of it for sure. I may pick it back up again sometime soon and replay it.

I feel like nothing is more representative of this very life we are forced to live than Tuco running around full of excitement and joy just thinking about getting what he wants from that cemetery, completely ignoring all the death around him, all the people who have lived and died before him... and completely indifferent to the fact that nothing can stop him from dying too. And so, we all have to live our lives surrounded by corpses (both from the people who are dying one by one around us and from all the videos, movies, books... of people who have already died), surrounded by tombstones and ghosts. It's like living avoiding thinking about the death around us, it's as shocking as literally playing and laughing surrounded by tombstones in the middle of a cemetery. And what else can we do? Be sad all the time? We still can't do anything to avoid death. We have to be like animals that simply live in the here and now, ignoring the past, the future and death... just as we often avoid seeing the suffering and the misfortune of others like the homeless.

@@RealPixels I really like spaghetti westerns. Those long, slow shots of the desert, sometimes with minimal music, really transport you to the desolation and isolation of the towns in the middle of nowhere in the old west... the stillness of hot days in an era where there was no TV, radio or telephone, often there were barely telegraph lines in some places, there could have been books but poverty and/or illiteracy prevented it... so I can imagine how slow life was for most people; precisely those slow or still shots, the slow narrative, transport you to that environment. Nowadays everything is so fast-paced, I suppose because with everything that is now offered to us it causes us to have less time, that we always have things to do and that it keep accumulating (it doesn't surprise me that it seems that there is more and more anxiety and stress). Before, because there was less content, you didn't have the feeling that watching or reading something long or slow, where things that seemed important weren't necessarily happening, was a waste of time... and that's why there were so many 3- or even 5-hour movies, they could afford to take the time to show something closer to transmitting/recreating the sensations of what day by day life was like in those settings. Or to indulge in introspection, like Tarkovski did. And I suppose that in my previous comment I sounded quite depressing 😅, but I suppose that's just how nature is: life and death, the living simply have to try to keep living and in fact, directly or indirectly, all living things feed on the dead (either by enriching the soil to grow crops with compost from decomposed things, or by directly eating corpses). Chemical science can already create water artificially, but by making it too pure or too contaminated to consume... besides being expensive to generate. Vitamins have been synthesized for artificial production throughout the past century... but we are still far from being able to extract food and water from nothing or from rocks, and thus be able to become independent of the imposed cycle of life and death. Later there would come a solution like the one used in the series Altered Carbon, or better yet, something that stops or regenerates the effects of the disease that aging is.

When people talk about art and its creation, the good stuff always gets this exhaustive couch potato narrative talking about everything that was going through the creators head when the work was done. Dancing around in their subconscious was Mozart, Einstein, DaVinci and Shakespeare and their creations were synergistic interpretations of genius with their own sprinkled on top. The truth is someone has an idea, tries a bunch of stuff, and finally stumbles upon something they think is good. When it turns out to be really bad or just average then the whole process is dismissed. If they get lucky and something unique is created then it was divine intervention and the mind of the genius would accept no other result. When the talented creator describes the creative process the brilliant scholars cringe and just write off the response as humility. They know how the masterpiece was created and they told you.
