How Morricone did not win the Academy Award for the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is shocking for me. For me, it is simply the best musical score for a movie ever.
@gunterangel3 ай бұрын
Just for explanation: Inspite all its three main stars being Americans and delivering their dialogue in English the movie itself was entirely an Italian production and therefore wasn't allowed to compete in the annual oscars ceremony at the time. A movie must at least partially be co-produced by an American production company to be eligible for any regular Oscars. The AMPAS and the Academy Awards were originally created to point out and honor outstanding achievements of the American movie industry exclusively, thus the Oscars from their origins are actually NOT an international and open film festival like Cannes, Berlin or Venice for instance. Therefore it was simply formally impossible for Morricone to win an Oscar for this iconic score or even get a nomination, even if the soundtrack went to become a megaseller in the USA too after the release of the movie there. In fact only a few years after WW2 and to compete with these international film festivals the AMPAS introduced the 'Best Foreign Language Picture'-category (today: 'Best International Picture') in order to open the Oscar event also for foreign movies a little bit.

I am so emotional about this movie and this music I can't write about it now. I had just gotten married, it was 1968, I was 25. I had just come back from my first tour in the Vietnam War, we were living in a suburb in tropical Miami, my wife Lucia and I used to sneak into the drive-in movie near our house on foot through a jungle carrying our fold-up chairs, she was game for any kind of fun, she was a veteran of the Peace Corps. We loved movies but we had never heard of this one. I watched, stunned, thinking I was asleep and hallucinating, a feeling I often had in the war. I spent the next several years trying to tell people about this movie, and almost nobody would listen. You young folk have no idea how this movie blasted us (those of us whose brains weren't clotted) away when it was new. I'm 81 years old now and have watched it dozens of times via the internet. I've gotten "used to" it now, it's not mind-blowing any more to me it's just a damn good movie. This movie was one of the things that started Lucia on her career as a popular writer of Western novels. Me, it's just part of my bones.

Perhaps only Quentin Tarantino, but then one must not underestimated that Quentin Tarantino's movies are actually completely and utterly fully inspired by Sergio Leone, and he adapted that style fully with his own 'twist' to it. And just like Sergio Leone made a trilogy, his own 'universe', all of Tarantino's movies are actually 'connected' and make up one big universe. It doesn't however tell one big story. That 's where Leone was legendary. And it would not have been the same without Morricone's music. It's cinematic perfection. It's not just a movie, it's truly a story. Many 'movies' today are just that - movies. That's okay, but it's just that. But these movies truly told a story, and the way that it did, it made all the 'involved' actors permanently legendary with it too. Clint Eastwood 'Blondie' essentially is the equivalent back then, bigger even if you wish, how we (now) look at Robert Downey Junior as Iron Man. He has played many great movies and characters. He's now even going to play 'Dr Doom'. But he is ,in soul, Iron Man, forever. When you see Clint Eastwood, you only essentially see him as 2 people : The man with no name (Blondie), and as Dirty Harry. And that character somehow isn't too far off 'Blondie' even. It's not as one-dimensional as for example Dwayne Johnson. Clint has actual talent. I also think that Dr Doom is going to be a lot like Iron Man. Even though it's in-universe. Clint easily is the most remembered, but the other actors were legendary in their own rights too and the movie would not have been as it was without them. It was somewhat perhaps like Terminator 1. The right people. Terminator would not have been the same without those three either. And though the music really fit there too - it was better in Terminator 2, though - the epitomy of it all still is TGTBATU. What I also like is that there isn't a remake. All it needs is talented people making a 8k or plus 'improvement' of the quality. That's a lot of work because it's not just upping the pixels. The depth of it needs to be improved, the color pallette, the sound, everything. But it doesn't need any changes in itself. It'll be the most legendary movie in history, not unlike 'Shakespeare'.

He never regretted his decision, as he had great success in Milan, becoming one of the creators of the italian post production powerhouses of the ‘80s and ‘90s, but he always had a kind of a nostalgia recalling the editing of those great movies… and the Dolce Vita in Rome at that time.

To be honest, I don't easily buy that it's a battle between Good & Evil. Blondie is fairly amoral, and sharing your cheroot with a dying man and leaving your coat doesn't suddenly make him a paragon of virtue. He's just seen men die at a bridge that served no strategic purpose and was feeling raw about it. Angel Eyes was a real threat, and had a posse. Tuco had an empty gun. Blondie is Chaotic Neutral at best. The "laughing ghosts" thing is artsy shit that I could imagine Ridley Scott saying. I am perfectly happy to believe Leone said it, but I totally believe he was just waxing rhapsodic for some interviewer.

@@guyjperson I would say that Blondie is more indifferent, which is your average man. Your average man is neither fully good nor bad, but the point is they are NOT bad; and average indifferent men often rise to the occasion to do good things and be good people. He’s also not good in the traditional sense, I mean he’s kind of an outlaw; but being good isn’t necessarily just doing good things… he’s good hearted, tuco is just as good or evil as blondie imo.

On the other hand when he has possibility to gain some more when going against it, with no repercussions or witnesses, he will do just that. He don't seem to care much about people foolishly following orders, yet he has some kind of his own morals and values, he respects certain characteristics. When the soldier decides to go against his orders and destroy the bridge, he respects that. Tuco would be Chaotic Neutral or Neutral Evil, he doesn't have grudge against someone who used him as long as he can get something out of it, but when betrayed he will do anything to take revenge, like anything. Angel Eyes would be Chaotic Evil - he doesn't care about anything and anyone but just his own goals.

Hugo Montenegro's cover of the main theme of "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" was played on the radio along with the Beatles and Stones hourly, and it reached No.1 in 1968 competing with the music from the British Invasion. Imagine that! I bought the 8-Track tape which included Montenegro's covers from all the Eastwood & Leone westerns. It was two years before I finally got to see "TGTB&TU." Having not seen the movie, only the cover soundtrack, I thought the The Ecstasy of Gold track was going to be used when the Tuco-tormenting- Blondie- in-the-desert scene came. Montenegro's cover is haunting, dark, and moody and you can see the tumbleweeds and feel the dusty wind blowing. When the original track did come per the above I didn't recognize it at first after listening to the cover for two years! What a grand sound it is. Of course I bought all the soundtracks later after seeing all the movies. I even air-conducted this original Ecstasy of Gold track.☺I still play the original most of the time after all these years over a half a century, and the cover some of the time. I think Montenegro wanted to make the antithesis in spirit to the original so he made it anti-fanfare, and used deep voiced male chants versus the soaring female aria and choir, solemn, and a somewhat simple dead-pan approach, but I still enjoy it when I feel a little melancholy. Upbeat vs. downbeat and slow-tempo. Many artists have covered Morricone and I enjoy just about all of them. Thanx for the video.

@@samuraidoggy It has its own style, it is both a neo-western and an embrace of the old spaghetti westerns, it has always been in the middle because while a lot of the game is nasty, depressing and fairly realistic and grounded, sometimes you get some movie shit like the Braithwaite Manor battle or the attack on Cornwalls oil factory with the natives. It is safe to say that Red Dead has become the modern symbol of the western genre along with movies like Django: Unchained.

@@thirdhandlv4231 Yes, that is well put, I can agree with that. But it doesnt really ever have the "spaghetti" feeling with the characters or feeling. Its always more realistic, than spaghetti western which are more about fantasy than realistic. I think the most "Sergio Leone style" character in RDR2 is Hamish Sinclair, that old dude you go at the end of the game to hunt and fish with and get Buell. That character has certain "romantism" for the western aspect around him and makes him a Spaghetti character of RDR2.

At that point a dog enters the scene and barks to him, and Eli act very surprised… it’s because the dog wasn’t scripted, Leone just left it loose without telling anyone, to have a genuine reaction from Wallach.

"Underrated" is used whenever someone likes something. It's a way of making something famous seem like an obscure, unknown treasure only hip, cool kids are into. . . . even if it's famous, popular, and highly regarded. I've seen the Beethoven Ninth and every film made Kubrick labeled "underrated." Labeling something "underrated" is a gimmick to turn widely renowned and accepted masterpieces into forgotten niche delicacies which only highly sophisticated and educated connoisseurs know of and understand. 🙄 In the same way, something enjoyable is now automatically called "iconic."

The movie is more about Tuco than anyone else. His is the only character we learn any of a backstory of--why his is where he is, and why he is who is he. He is the only one to have any family (his brother, the priest), and the only one isn't really one-dimensional. Blondie and Angel Eyes pretty much maintain the same demeanor throughout, Tuco runs the full gamete of emotions. His is the only character that lends one to have hope for--the first time you watch the movie, without knowing the outcome, you start hoping half-way through that he survives. You know Blondie will live, you know Angel Eyes will die, but Tuco is throughout the movie the character you are uncertain of until the end--and even as he is on the chair with the rope around his neck, you are on edge, hopeful he will get out somehow (and thankful Blondie returns to shoot the rope). Wallach and Leone had a very good friendship during filming, and that is considered one of the reasons Tuco became such a developed character, with a fair bit of that character created while the film was being shot. Tuco is also the character that other movie bad guys need to lessons from: "If you are going to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!"
