The Great Silence: Spaghetti in the Snow

[@professionalgun6674]

The town Corbucci used in Django was Elios and Sergio Leone visited the western town set in Italy to check it out for his new Western The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Sergio saw they had sprayed water everywhere and was very impressed with how they had muddied the street. "You really got something here" Leone told Corbucci. If you notice the town is used in Leone's TGTBATU, when Blondie brings in Tuco to the first town, with the ground flattened back but still quite wet from the Django shoot.

Just a precision about the meaning of the ending : Jean-Louis Trintignant said in an interview that Corbucci wanted, at first, a traditional showdown but Trintignant found it too unrealistic so he asked to Sergio to make the ending that we all know today, the director first refused and done it just to please the actor but, then, found this version better than the one he imagined.

[@MoviesAboutMovies]

Oh wow. I hadn’t come across that information in my research. I have watched the alternate (happy) ending and it way less impactful. Glad they went with the bleaker, more cynical ending.

[@pingusupremacy6006]

@@MoviesAboutMovies another fact about this movie revealed by Trintignant. The fact that he's mute was his main condition to play in the movie. 《After acting in《the death layed an egg》I wanted to do a Western but under the condition that I don't speak because in spaghetti westerns we talk too much to say silly punchlines》 Yeah this Interview is a must watch if you speak French because he also reveal things about Kinski and Corbucci : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZjYnZh6edqgrrs

I always red that it was the american producer of the 20th Century Fox Darryl Francis Zanuck who demanded a happy ending, and Corbucci did it as a complete farce, which stopped the realease of the movie in the US and basically terminated all oppurtunities for him there too.

[@josiahscurlock]

Not sure I'd exactly call Leone's movies "bright" or "optimistic."

[@samfrankenstein]

It is compare to sergio

[@Glory-Compass]

It is Optimistic in the sense that it is very epic (has a lot of cool male characters)and doesn’t touch on serious topics like for example Sexual Abuse or Politics like films like ‘The Great Silence’ Leone endings are also very Epic and Bright compared to the Aforementioned Great silence

[@josiahscurlock]

@@Glory-Compass Eh, sounds like a stretch to me. Sure, The Great Silence is darker, but the Dollars movies were the roughest, toughest Westerns we had seen up until that point. Calling them bright and optimistic just because this movie is darker by comparison strikes me as over-egging the pudding.

[@Glory-Compass]

@@josiahscurlock I wouldn’t call them bright but it is too epic and heroic in nature It also lacks the realism that some other westerns like the great silence has

[@haanis5458]

I also think its interesting that the movie takes place in a snowy enviornment because it really fits the name, "the great silence". Sound disappears in fresh snow. Like the proragonist, the enviorment is silent. Until the sound of a gunshot breaks the silence.

Great review sir. Murder By Decree another forgotten gem.

[@MacGomez]

As always Awesome video. Really enjoy your perspective on movies. Appreciate your efforts.. keep on keeping on...

[@thekotabear3262]

This was the first film I had seen Kinski in, his acting when the match is thrown into his drink completely immersed me into the movie. Huge fan

[@carlosfernandezguillen3795]

Corbucci quedo, según parece, muy desencantado con las muertes de Kennedy, Luther King y Malcom X En varias de sus peliculas se observa mucha carga política y ese desesperanza del final lo demuestra.

[@rabbidbabies4094]

Great video. Easily my top 3 spaghetti western

[@aprigio64]

Absurdamente linfo este filme. Uma fotografia e trilha siberbas.

[@ToastersChannel]

Great video! Was wondering if you have watched "The Mercenary" its my favorite!! Still haven't come around to see The Great Silence but i think soon!

[@ToastersChannel]

@@MoviesAboutMovies No worries! Are you planning on making videos again?

[@ToastersChannel]

Brett Gerlt looking forward to it!

[@samuelmanalili2303]

Can anyone tell me the title of the movie featuring Klaus Kinski as a villain and had Ursula Andres tied near a well.The hero rescued her and later pursued Kinski. The hero opened a musical watch for Kinski to listen ...in the gun battle Kinski climb to a chimney or whatever it was and later shot to death and fell from that height. Even though Kinski played mostly villainous roles ,I like him ,,he is instantly recognizable even amidst a crowd and even if he doesn't talk or move much

Great film.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here.

Bravo, bravo, bravo...

[@jantyszka1036]

I don't know if you deliberately cut some scenes to have a more acceptable video for general viewing, but the uncut version is much more brutal, while still as moving, not gratuitous at all. Try to see that version if you can, the running time should be about 1h45m.

Bro really said 2015's Django Unchained. That was released in 2012, 2015 was The Hateful Eight...

[@izurokamakura4778]

A happy was made for the movie, but the director did not like it and made the good one so bad and poorly filmed that they kept the bad one. It can be found on the dvd version of the film.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Brett Gerit: Negatively portrayed Native Americans. Also Brett Gerit: *uses footage of a pro-Native American film*

[@pontiusporcius8430]

Sounds like a video essay.

[@Bonzulac]

I appreciate your thoroughness, but maybe it wasn't necessary to start a video essay about The Great Silence by explaining what fucking westerns are.
