[@jasonmonaghan5003]

agree- perfect sumation

[@johnhernan9238]

agree totally. Often Leone overstretched and underscored his scenes, milking emotion and tension (which i love) - this one has an economy and precision (and complexity) that serves Coburn / films back story perfectly. And to be honest, one of the best renderings of Irish history on film.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

The genius of this movie is that it’s well over 2 hours long. Scenes with slow motion acting without dialogue. Lingering on facial expressions with surreal music making things seem dream like, almost drug like. The moment dragged out, the passions and the emotions lingering, the realisation of the betrayal and the last seconds of their close friendship come to a violent close. Pull a trigger and you kill two people... John on the run from the authorities often turns to this haunting memory and the surreal one of them together both after the affections of a young woman. The parallels of the two revolutions play out in the awkward friendship with the Mexican bandit. Just stunning performances throughout and an unbeatable score.

[@marctremblay8087]

I have always seen this as part of Coburns sadness in the film where everything he does now doesnt matter because of what he did back in Ireland, His life has been changed by personal loss .

this music indeed is for crying . this is 1910, Irishman lost his country, IRA was not even formed - it was later on that IRA became full scale organization (remember the I.R.A flag in his motorcycle), his best friend was murdered by him....essence of everything is ''there was a time i believed in many things. the only thing i believe now is dynamite'' For me Sean was a tragic man with a deathwish - he came to Mexico to die because he wasnt able to continue with life of any kind. and its clearly he came to Mexico with some ideals, it wasnt for the money, he was a boyscout, a youngturk whose plans went to hell

[@1benda2]

I would say it's rather about 1905. Sean looks much older in the present timeline. he came to Mexico because he had to flee Ireland after killing those Tommies. I'd say he still wasn't disappointed in the revolution at the time (that will happen later, especially after Juan's speech) but he was disillusioned about his own role in it, not wanting to kill any more people close to him and possibly deeming himself unworthy to take part in revolutionary activities anymore. and yes, his deathwish is manifest even at the beginning when he's so careless about carrying dynamite and nitro on himself.

The British police beat him up and made him rat out his buddy. Climactic scene here.

[@haasy]

inbredagogo and they both loved the same girl...best film of all times

[@haasy]

No, but maybe thats what made John kill him at the pub when he snitched. He did let the Doc off when he snitched

[@Pssybart]

Jacinto Martinez That's an interpretation some people like to give to these flashbacks. On the other hand, you could also argue that the woman was there to show how close these friends were, they even shared the same girlfriend. Still, John was capable of killing his best friend due to his ideals. It's a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his life. By the time he's about to kill the doctor he realizes he lost everything he ever cared about to the revolutions he was involved with. He no longer believes in his ideals, so he decides to let the doctor live.

[@haasy]

Sandro Algra Barradas I like your interpretation better than mine....Hey do you know if they ever found more footage for the movie between the scene when John blows up the stagecoach and the scene where Juan kills the German and the captain?

[@Pssybart]

Jacinto Martinez I've been searching for those scenes actively. As far as I know, only set photos have been made available. Same goes for another deleted scene where the doctor is being tortured. There are some rumours about other deleted scenes. I hope Andrea Leone (Sergio's son) would make the decision to restore this movie some day, like they did with Once Upon a Time in America. That is if they find the original scenes. The current releases in English also have a few flaws, like the wrong music cues being used for certain scenes. The Italian Blu-Ray is so far the most complete release we know.

Brilliant film and the haunting music

[@eigse]

this was filmed in my favourite bar of the time…Toner’s in Lr Baggot St, Dublin 2

[@clivebonneywell6967]

Yes absolutely the song is a haunting melody

[@seanmckillen9090]

That pub toners is still there been in it 😯

[@madonnaamadonnaa8580]

wow!!!!!!!!!une des plus belle et romantique musique et quelle scene wow!!!!!!!!!

[@tbolin25]

There's only one title for this Great Film from the Maestro of Cinema "Once Upon a Time, The Revolution". RIP Maestros Leone and Morricone never has movie making needed its Maestros like it does now!!!

[@williamweb9782]

I first saw this film as a kid. This was an amazing and unsettling scene. For me it is very much a film about class and betrayal. Historically there is a connection between Ireland and Mexico. Both actors(Coburn and Steiger) shyed away from talking about the film on camera, perhaps wisely. It would have been interesting to hear their thoughts though.

[@thomasmclarnon7337]

Coburn was pure class 🙏

[@rossorlandi5173]

This scene was shot in Toners pub Dublin, Mr Leone was was way ahead of his game,a true ARTIST and that haunting music❤ by Ennio.M.

[@tomphotiou3475]

This is a great underestimated movie that was hacked up by the censors. Originally 157 minutes hacked by almost 25 minutes, there is now special editions that have restored the film to near full. Unfortunatly, there was an execution scenes that was cut but the footage no longer exists. The DVD /Blu ray version with the original title Duck you sucker are the best by far.

[@StandInTheFire]

Happened to Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America too

[@tomphotiou3475]

A lot of Hollywood just didnt understand Leones movies, as was said in a documentry, "Leone shot long scens but never irrelevant scens".The US censors just wanted to speed up the action.

[@Lamar-wq7jj]

James Coburn a legend

[@liammccarron8191]

Brilliant scene! Encapsulated the whole Irish fight for freedom. Ce'ad Mile Fa'ilte. Co Donegal.

[@bagsogee]

It says in the description that this was shot in Toners of Baggott st but it could be Kehoe's just off Grafton st? Or the Gravediggers in Glasnevin?

[@michaelarmbruster586]

I remember sneeking into the theater to see this

[@christianbasehart4767]

To this day I'm not sure how to interpret Warbeck's character choice for after the cops are shot. I can't tell if he WANTED James Coburn to shoot him because he felt guilty, or if he thought for a moment that Coburn was going to free him now that the cops were dead. Open to your interpretation.

[@FlymanMS]

I think it's the former. Coburn paused there, no vengeance in his eyes, instead his look is saying: "I don't care if you did it, we're still friends, I forgive you" and his friend is saying with his eyes "But I can't forgive myself" and giving this little nod saying "Do what you must".

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

@@FlymanMS Don't forget that Nolan had also stolen John's girl as we see in the other flashbacks. I'm sure John had some rage over that betrayal as well.

[@justaddressmeasking6625]

Betraying the cause is a death sentence.... Coburn was obviously hesitant to shoot him, but Warbeck knew it had to be done.

[@niamhpattison6627]

They Were NOT POLICE...Brit Soldiers ..ENFORCING British law in a foreign country. John..Coburns character had to shoot him...once a FREEDOM FIGHTER betrayed the cause and his peers...he had to go. No option. The friend, the betrayer was happy the Brit Soldiers were dead..and maybe forgiveness for him..but you see in Coburns eyes he has no choice...in those days betrayal to the Brits WAS A DEATH PENALTY.

[@niamhpattison6627]

@@justaddressmeasking6625 Defo...you got it right..its hard for people to understand..the hesitation was the friendship...but the pledge to the Free Ireland was greater. It was also the reality..sadly I wish people realised that still now...I know first hand from my grandparents and parents stories.

[@michaelhobbs1571]

I seem to be at a loss,,, what is this film called?,,, and why havnt I seen it short

[@keithwills3790]

Fistful of dynamite!. Enjoy..

[@seanhuds229]

Ennio Marricone is the modern equivalent of Mozart.

[@BaddaBing2001]

I like how the guys just standing there with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face as those two officers got gunned down with zero reaction. Little did he know he too would be next.

[@davekeating.]

He did know he would be next and there was no point running...

[@joaquinreyes5815]

I love it music for ever.

[@maulporphy4399]

Very underrated film.

[@dalexkom]

this theme throughout the movie made it good

[@neilmaguire1444]

How drawn out was that and the music!

[@JingleJangleJam]

This is purely in the style of a modern day Silent Film.

[@michaelmeiers3639]

Perhaps a Northern Irishman, old enough to go to the movies in 1971 could answer my question? I always wondered if the Irish pub shooting scene was shown in theaters in Northern Ireland? 1971 was the great time of the troubles, the Bogside fight in London(DERRY), Bernadette Devlin etc. And the image given of the British soldiers having beaten their prisoner in the film during the first troubles in Ireland at the beginning of the XXth century, as well as their slaughter by Coburn was not made to calm the spirits!
