Reacting to THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966) | Movie Reaction

[@Dystopia1111]

"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk." All-time great movie 1-liner.

[@DawnMarieX]

Always agreed with this 😅

[@hadz8671]

Similar advice in "Die Hard".

[@melenatorr]

@@DawnMarieX This was about the first line I paid attention to when it would come on broadcast tv many decades ago. When I got a little older and would watch it more completely with my parents, I found myself always crying over the alcoholic captain and his tragic relationship with that bridge. It still remains, for me, one of the strongest parts of this very strong movie. That and the scene with Tuco and his brother, where you get a sense of why Tuco is the way he is. Note too, that the brother doesn't contradict him when Tuco finally fires his accusations, and that the brother asks Tuco for forgiveness (after Tuco is gone, though). A priest didn't get rich, but he would be assured of respect, shelter, and food. From the scene, it sounds like the brother left home first to become priest, leaving Tuco behind with the parents, when Tuco himself was a little boy. There is an awful lot to speculate about with these two, and not all of it is stacked against Tuco. Aside from this being a really good scene, it's the start of Blondie actually beginning to be "the Good": he's listened and understood why Tuco is such an animal, and he responds to Tuco's lie to allow him to keep his pride. That scene is even stronger for me when you consider that the actor playing the brother isn't speaking English to Eli Wallach: Wallach is speaking English; the actor, Luigi Pistilli, is speaking Italian, and they were still able to establish, in less than a minute, a lifetime of tension. Tuco is Eli Wallach: he was a magnificently versatile actor, of Jewish background, born in Brooklyn. He was part of a big revolution in stage and screen acting called "The Method", which involved a particular way of throwing yourself into your character and that character's situation. Here he is with fellow Method actor Karl Malden talking about the discipline: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp-yin1sYrKYh8k.

I love how at the beginning, when the score first plays, Dawn’s like “what is THAT?” And by the end she’s singing along “doo da loo loo, wa wa wa.” Brilliant!

[@melenatorr]

When I was growing up, we had our radio almost constantly on an easy-listening station based in New Jersey, WPAT. They would play this theme fairly often. Unfortunately, they almost never announced what the songs and other pieces were that they played, so there's a whole slew of great songs and singers in my head without names. But when this movie played on broadcast tv, and I heard that music in context for the first time, it was really exciting.

[@LordVolkov]

Ennio Morricone's 'Ecstasy of Gold' lives rent free in my head. The whole score is the ultimate western soundtrack but that track is just choice. RIP to a legendary composer.

[@ohauss]

Morricone did many of his scores for Leone from the script alone, long before the movie had been shot, trying to capture the essence of the scene and the story in his music - and it worked so well that Leone sometimes changed the pacing of the scene to match the music.

I second this recommendation. Once Upon A Time in the West is absolute classic. I would also recommend the other Sergio Leone western from that era called "Duck you sucker", also known as "Fistful of dynamite".

Lee Van Cleef was one of the coolest character actors of his generation. He pretty much played villains but he did it brilliantly. Of course Eli Wallach (who only passed away a few years ago in his 90's) was a legend.

[@scottknode898]

Although he played the good guy in For A Few Dollars More as the Colonel Mortimer who became a bounty hunter after his sister was murdered by main villain El Indio. After The Good The Bad and The Ugly he appeared in more westerns as the anti hero type and was in Kurt Russell’s Escape From New York in 1981 before his death in 1989.

There are five films: Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988). Clint Eastwood portrayed Callahan in all five films

[@gutz1981]

Any time you hear the voices of the main actors sound different, that is because those scenes were deleted in the original prints for the Western market, they were present in the Italian, German and French and as such, the three main leads never dubbed their lines for them. About 40 years later after being remastered, both Clint and Eli redubbed those scenes as older men. Lee Van Cliefe however had passed away by then and was dubbed by another actor.

[@doubleT84]

If you understand German, watch the Spaghetti Westerns in German. They had a guy named Rainer Brandt and he wrote the German scripts for a lot of the movies and there were a hand full of voice actors for all the movies and they brought in a lot of comedic moments just by the use of words. "His name is Trinity" is such a movie. The German dubs were so succesfull in comparison to the other versions, because of the humor, that one time, when an actor forgot his lines repeatedly, Bud Spencer told him "Don't worry, Rainer Brandt will make it a success anyway." This voice actor team was also responsible for dubbing a series called "The Persuaders". The series didn't have many viewers in the US but it was a huge success in Germany, so Tony Curtis said Rainer Brandt should also write the English original script so they could profit from his humor. But Roger Moore was already out and didn't want to continue.

[@Caseytify]

Actually all the dialog was dubbed in later in production. Eastwood remarked he had to take notes on what he said so he used the same words again in post.

On flat side of wood stump he tacked in several roofing nails, but did not drive them home with hammer. He then drew a cholkline on floor, aimed, drove home nail with bullet. He hit a second nail head, driving it to the wood, like it was hit with a hammer. Then he drove 7 more nails home into the wood, driving 9 nails for 9 bullets!

Tucoo is absolutely my favorite. It's hard even to think of another character quite like him; You can't really call him an antihero, the dude bashes people to death with rocks. He's also not quite "evil" because that implies some sort of agenda, but he's just this agent of chaos who is as likely to do good as bad because well, that was the mood he was in. He's actually very Stoic, as happy stealing a dead guy's boots as taking a bubble bath. You could almost wish to live like that, as short a life as it's likely to be. :)

Fun trivia: When they blow up the bridge and you said the bridge could have gone up his arse, there was actually a piece of wood that got really close to Clints head during filming when they were ducking.

I just watched a video about a real Old West bandit that is not considered part of the Old West outlaws, named Black Bart. That guy had a smart plan on how to rob stage coaches. He would wait at the top of a hill till the coach got up there and he would bluff them with his shotgun and he would tell some people in the bushes not to shoot and the people on the coach would see several more barrels coming out of the bushes and figure they were outnumbered, but the barrels were fake and it was just Black Bart on his own. He apparently did 28 of these stage coach robbers successfully, but the 29th he got caught. He was shot in the hand, dropped a handkerchief and the laundry mark on the hanky lead to him, the detective had looked through like 90something laundry services to get the right one.

[@maxpeck7382]

The man playing the Ugly in this movie who you saw in the the other movie you watched is the wonderful and talented Eli Wallach who was a Jewish actor who played many western parts portraying as a Mexican man. His talent for his parts shows in his commitment to the Character. He really plays well off of Clint Eastwood's "Blonde" character in this. This is a real Spaghetti Western movie.

[@donwild50]

Trivia: Eastwood insisted that his costuming remain consistent throughout all three films, including the poncho...which he never washed! Possibly that's why he only put it on at the end of the third film. Must have been pretty rank by that point after doing three movies. He still owns it and keeps it in a glass case. And it's still never been washed! He did mention one reason he never had it washed; it was so badly made he thought washing it might make it fall apart.

Eastwood said he bought the cigars himself and got ones that tasted and smelled awful to help with his character.

Amazing actor that was born in Brooklyn, NY and grew up in a mostly Italian neighborhood. I love his portrayal in this movie. He embodies the Tuco character.

[@supafrogg258]

Dawn Marie, there is NOTHING wrong with referring to Clint Eastwood's three Westerns with Italian film Director, Sergio Leone, as a trilogy. In fact, though each film, A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, & THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, has a distinctly different storyline, the character played by Clint, is so similar in all three, that film aficionados often refer to Clint's character in all three of those Sergio Leone films as "The Man With No Name"!

[@wafelhausen]

I would suggest "Once upon a time in the west" next. It's made by the same guy (Sergio Leone) and in my opinion it's the best of the bunch.

[@Hank..]

Tuco's interaction with his brother adds an interesting dynamic to his character. He resents his brother for leaving to join the church, because it meant that Tuco felt like he HAD to become a bandit to get money and help his family. It doesn't stop him from being bad, he's a terrible person, but he was made into a terrible person by a life that he felt forced into, and he probably regrets a lot that he's done. It adds a little bit of humanity to him, which makes him stand out from someone like Angel Eyes, who's a stone cold psycho and seems to enjoy killing.

It is a great epic film as well and the music is stunning too. Each character has their own theme and they are magnificent. I think it is his best film.

Everyone will talk about Clint, understandably, but let's talk about the director. At this point--- you now just have two masterpieces left by the great Italian director Sergio Leone: "Once Upon a Time in the West" and (much later on down the road) "Once Upon a Time in America." I'm not saying he didn't do other good work, but those are his two other masterpieces. Trivia: Eastwood wasn't Leone's first choice to play the Man with No Name (and they had a rough falling out completing this movie). His first choice--- was a man by the name of Charles Bronson...

Charles Bronson was offered the role in A Fistful of Dollars but Bronson blew it off as the whole project seemed sketchy and not real. Leone didn’t know who Eastwood was at the time but was recommended him when Bronson blew them off. Charles Bronson would later say it was the biggest regret of his professional career.

[@crossfire1453]

The outlaw josie whales was my fav. Eastwood is so iconic.

[@mrtveye6682]

Marie, even though not part of this (unofficial) trilogy, you should definitely follow up with "Once Upon A Time In The West". Same director, same composer, without Eastwood but still with a great cast. As good and popular the Dollar-Trilogy is, I would even claim that Once Upon a Time is Leones true Western masterpiece.

[@gracesprocket7340]

If you fancy Clint Eastwood... then you *have* to watch The Bridges of Madison County. It is also worth hunting out his war fillums he directed: Flags of Our Fathers, and Letters From Iwo Jima (looking at both sides of the invasion of Iwo Jima by US marines in 1945) (I keep getting that excellent Letters movie confused with Sands... which is okay, but not the same at all... I blame the 'of' in Flags priming me to select of rather than from for the Iwo Jima movie - I'll keep doing it, and keep spotting the goof later...)

Naah! To young a Las!

[@Yggdrasil42]

I love this movie. The characters, the pacing, the music. I highly recommend the famous Once Upon a Time in the West.

[@jessediaz1293]

I read that Eli Wallach almost died on three different occasions in this movie. First in the scenes where he is being hanged in the town, the rope didn’t break and Eli was almost strangled to death. Second. During lunch breaks the cast and crew were eating and drinking wine and Eli was at the crew work station and saw a clear, bubbly liquid that he was going to drink, he thought it was his favorite Italian lemon soda. When one of the crew saw that he was about to take a big drink, he shouted at Eli, grabbed the liquid, poured some on the ground and saw the liquid melting the ground and smoke coming up. It was a strong liquid used on the sets. Third. On the train scene where he’s trying to get out of the metal cuffs, he was supposed to lay down and keep his head down because the train was going to pass next to him. Eli Wallach got a few inches lower to the ground, he was smart to do that because the crew forgot that the train had steps open on the sides of the train. If he had raised his head on the same spot a few inches he would’ve been decapitated. *Lee Van Cleef almost took his head off with that shovel throw too 😂

Hi Dawn Marie! I don't know which you've done already but "Shane" and "High Noon" are good traditional Westerns, "Silverado" is a good one that sort of reintroduced the Western genre, and "Tombstone" is very popular. I think it is a lot of people's favorite Western. "The Outlaw Josie Wales" is a classic, and it stars Clint Eastwood as well.

[@herrzimm]

Now that you have done "The Trilogy" (Leone/Eastwood), you should now dip into the "mid-years" before the "send off" that Eastwood went through. Movies such as "Pale Rider", "High Plains Drifter" and "Outlaw Josey Wells" are MUST views so that... When you get to Unforgiven, the story impacts you even MORE considering the history of the Eastwood's career and his character types and what they have gone through. By EVERY measure imaginable, "Unforgiven" is a masterpiece on its own. BUT when you include Eastwood's career history, it takes on a whole new meaning.

[@spiritwalker497]

Well said. Movies kind of happen characters sort of become iconic by the way a great actors embodies them.when you have grown up watching the evolution of Great actors ,the movies and the stories sort of catch up with the actors themselves . It certainly makes unforgiven more meaningful. for me at least good to suggest it for later on

[@kentuckyjerk323]

Everything about this movie is legendary. The acting. The camera work. The music. The story.

[@timothywright778]

Great music score (as you said) kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5WrnHd7gMZ0aMk

[@johnbrowne2170]

The violence and the humour.

[@peterwinters8587]

The eye stuff

[@zumzoom6368]

Oh man, the score for this movie is so friggin perfect!

[@scottjo63]

There's one more movie like the Dollar's trilogy and it's a masterpiece also. No Clint Eastwood, HOWEVER the actor who was in The Magnificent Seven, the one who befriended the three boys who said they would keep his grave clean and fresh flowers....Charles Bronson and the movie, Once Upon A Time In The West (1968), with a bonus, Henry Fonda playing something different. A MUST SEE and for some reason, I don't know why, not many react to it. Be one of the first, you WILL LOVE IT. Music is by the same who did the Dollars Trilogy and direct by Sergio Leone. Again, a must see masterpiece. The first seven minutes are fascinating, 3 dudes waiting, no music, master sound design, not boring etc. And when Fonda makes an appearance....never mind....PLEASE WATCH.

[@brandonflorida1092]

Your next movie, if you wish to continue in this style, should be "Once Upon a Time in the West," by the same director. The greatest western in the older, John Ford style would be "Rio Bravo."

[@Hellseeker1]

"She knows alright, slap her more" LOL!

[@sonnypeek6418]

"Once Upon A Time in the West" might logically be the next one to watch. Same Director - and same composer for the Music. It's great also

[@AlexGVid]

So much fun watching your reaction to this incredible movie. I didn't read the other comments but this has probably been suggested in some form. Since Clint is your guy, I would suggest you watch his "unofficial" western trilogy where he directs and acts in the movies: The Outlaw Jose Wales - 1976 (10 years after this movie) Pale Rider - 1985 Unforgiven - 1992 I would strongly suggest you watch in that order as it is so interesting to see them as Clint ages through the years. With Unforgiven being the masterpiece that won several Oscars.

[@jimtatro6550]

This is quite simply the greatest western movie ever.

[@Hellseeker1]

"I hope that was piss" This girl's a riot lol

[@bodine57]

Great reaction, as always! Westerns I think you'd enjoy: "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (Eastwood), "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (Newman and Redford), "The Long Riders" (a semi-western with a fantastic cast!).

[@johankaewberg9512]

Harmonica…

[@erocrush]

“3:10 to Yuma” (1957) is an underrated gem, as is “My Darling Clementine”

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

The 2000s version of 3:10 to Yuma, with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, is a rare example of a remake as good as, or possibly better than, the original.

[@Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s]

*The Wild Bunch (1969)* An aging group of outlaws look for one last big score as the "traditional" American West is disappearing around them

[@DawnMarieX]

Thanks! I’ll add it to the list 😅

[@aweebunny]

'You see, in this world there are two kinds of people my friend. Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.'

[@PaolodAlesio]

Thank you Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone for this masterpiece.

[@robertmills8640]

I always loved the way Tuco makes the sign of the cross😂

[@kosefix]

I would recommend Where Eagles Dare. It's a second world war adventure with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. It's not deep but surprisingly smart. And it's probably Clint's most violent movie ever. Also The Long kiss goodnight with Geena Davis and Samuel Jackson. Davis is an assasin/housewife with amnesia and they kidnap her child and she goes on a one woman war against the baddies, with Jackson as an unwilling sidekick. Very quotable. It owes much to where Eagles dare and it's crimininally underrated.

[@JasonRule-1]

Western to watch: "Once Upon a Time in the West," with Charles Bronson. Charles Bronson was also in Magnificent Seven. The movie is a classic. It's the only movie where Henry Fonda plays a bad guy.

[@woodintheblood4104]

Listen to the Danish National Orchestra playing the theme song from this movie. It is superb!!!!!!

[@matthewakian2]

I've seen this film so many times in my life, but I really enjoyed this.

[@TheCosmicGenius]

This is one of my favourite films, Western or otherwise, & I'm glad you've enjoyed it, too. Let me suggest another film for you, 'Once Upon a Time in the West', by the same director, Sergio Leone. It's kind of the start of another trilogy, but only thematic - not with the same characters or actors. The second film in that trilogy is called, 'Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution', or, 'A Fistful of Dynamite', or, 'Duck, You Sucker!', & the 3rd part is, 'Once Upon a Time in America'. Clint Eastwood was offered a role in, 'Once Upon a Time in the West', but turned it down for various reasons (that part went to Charles Bronson, who'd played Bernardo in, 'The Magnificent Seven'), & instead starred in the film, 'Hang 'Em High'. I think you should watch that one, too. Eastwood's other great Westerns include, 'Pale Rider', 'The Outlaw Josey Wales', &, 'High Plains Drifter'. He also did other Westerns, but these are the ones most often cited as his best.

[@suprstng6]

Just a little FYI for you. The iconic yelling in the song, is supposed to mimic a coyote howling.

[@Garryck-1]

G'day Dawn.. since you were wondering how much the $200,000 would be worth now, I found an online inflation calculator that let me go that far back, and figured it out for you. The movie 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' is set in 1862. It turns out that $200,000 in 1862 would be equivalent to $5,957,227.72 here in 2023.

[@TanDawg58]

I will be honest. I first started watching these because I saw Dawn in the thumbnail, but very quickly grew to enjoy the reactions. She's not mortified by things in these older movies like a lot of others, and her sense of humor is great too. I'd really recommend the 1980 film Used Cars. It's very off color, but it's a pee your pants from laughing movie

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

A great comedy.

[@foljs5858]

"She's not mortified by things in these older movies like a lot of others," Amen! A lot of millenial and Gen-Z reactors are like "oh, no! a bad thing! I'm so triggered" as if they feel compelled too

[@sbk4me]

Lovely girl! I sooo can't wait to watch this with you! This will be epic I think. I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do! See you afterward...Okay, just Brilliant! It was Grand watching you react to this. It looked like your really enjoyed it. Although I'll probably need to see the uncut version to enjoy your comments throughout. I also love the background and end music you posted with it. Next up, maybe watch "High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, or The Outlaw Josey Wales" ...Yes! See you soon lovely girl!! Thanks... If you love the music you can watch the soundtrack played by the Danish Symphonic Orchestra or Sergio Leone himself, Good stuff.

[@beanybun6110]

A feature of this film is that the characters only see events from the viewers perspective - hence they don’t see see the enemy encampment, nor does Blondie see Angel Eyes creep up on him in an entirety empty graveyard. Also there are cu5 three scenes added back into this version- Wallach and Eastwood recorded those lines maybe 50 years later and an actor impersonated Van. Leaf, who was long dead by then. By the way they accidentally blew the bridge up before the cameras started rolling so had to rebuild the whole thing again.

[@ryanmcgrath4979]

This film is one of my favorite westerns, thanks to the writing, the characters, dialogue, cinematography, and the musical score.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

When you get a few moments you should go watch, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)" They do the piece that you keep hearing throughout the film. It is fantastic. As always a great reaction / review. As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.

[@t0dd000]

The bottle scene where it rolls down hill and smacks him in the face ... famous cinematography and direction. And, of course, the standoff at the end.

[@lunog]

After this trilogy Sergio Leone directed another great Western, again using Ennio Morricone´s soundtrack, and it was a real Hollywood production this time. It´s called "Once upon a Time in the West" and it´s another great movie, really worth watching, featuring Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda (no Clint Eastwood in this one). Many fans of Leone´s movies prefer this "Once upon a Time in the West" over "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" (that´s how good it is, don´t miss it).

[@guitarman8462]

This was filmed in Spain . The final showdown at the graveyard , they fixed it back up .
