+Antonio Usai Eastwood stesso in un'intervista, racconta che sul set c'era solo una collega tedesca che parlava inglese, infatti Leone mimava per ogni attore la scena da dover fare e Clint imparò così a comprendere e masticare italiano, spagnolo e tedesco in quei giorni. Anche io credo che il discorso fosse stato preparato ma lui è sicuramente in grado di comprendere la lingua data la sua forte esperienza.

[@PlacidDragon]

The funny part about this is that when Eastwood was cast for "A fistful of dollars", he did not speak Italian, and Sergio Leone did not speak English. I imagine that he picked up the language mainly while shooting the 3 iconic westerns ("A fistful of dollars", "For a few dollars more", and "the good, the bad and the ugly"), and continually improved it from there.

At least they saw fit to give him an Honorary Oscar, instead of waiting until someone had to wheel him out to get it. And yeah, it's an absolute effing joke that NONE of his scores has ever won - from THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, to THE MISSION and, of course, THE UNTOUCHABLES. No matter. His work continues to speak for itself, and for him.

+Survivor2002 Right now he just won the oscar for "The hateful eight"

Umiltà assoluta. Solo i Grandi ce l'hanno.

- TIME ON TIME Ennio Morricone - Those who live with love and sentiment take the illustrious art by the hand. Composing is an opportunity not to die, not to grow and expand behind a glass of nostalgia. Ennio Morricone, the master of kissing notes, son of worker music and strong emotions has fallen on the white angelic score. I can't tell you which was the most beautiful soundtrack; each note, one after the other, were sublime caresses, were forms of sweetness to the heart, they were silent and penetrating like solitude, they were extensions of the nature of prairies in sight, they were perfect executions to exchange a sign of peace. Now let our tears flow which are not for his music, but for the cordiality and the polite way in which he granted his memory in us. His illustrious music will age and revive according to the human miracle ... depending on a New Cinema Paradiso animated and loved by the plots of life. To Ennio Morricone, the master of kissing notes on the longest day of kisses. ----------------------------------------------------- - VOLTA SU VOLTA Ennio Morricone - Chi vive di amor e sentimento si prende l'illustre Arte per mano. Comporre è l'occasione per non morire, per non crescere e dilatarsi dietro un vetro di nostalgie. Ennio Morricone, il maestro delle note al bacio, figlio della musica operaia e di forti emozioni si è calato sul bianco spartito angelico. Non so dirvi quale fosse la colonna sonora più bella; ogni nota, una dopo l'altra erano sublimi carezze, erano forme di dolcezza al cuore, erano silenziose e penetranti come la solitudine, erano estensioni della natura di praterie in vista, erano esecuzioni perfette per scambiarci un segno di pace. Ora lasciamo scorrere le nostre lacrime che non sono per la sua musica, ma per la cordialità e il modo garbato con cui ha accordato il suo ricordo in noi. La sua illustre musica invecchierà e rinverdirà a seconda del miracolo umano... a seconda di un Nuovo Cinema Paradiso animato e amato dalle trame della vita. A Ennio Morricone, il maestro delle note al bacio nel giorno più lungo dei baci.

Only a man full of emotions like he was, could produce such a beautiful music. RIP

There will be no one like Ennio Morricone ever again!❤

[@cjeanrond]

Saw him yesterday in concert in Brussels. 90 years old, it was his last tour. A mythical experience. The world of cinema owes him a lot and the western genre owes him everything.

Hoje, dia 06 de junho de 2020, o mundo perdeu Ennio Morricone. Um dos maiores Gênio da musica. Quem não conheceu os grandes temas dos filmes Italianos, dos anos 60, e outros. Muito triste, mas ele cumpriu o seu papel aqui na terra. Vai com Deus
