“A shot-by-shot investigation of the three-way standoff at the climax of Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, revealing mathematical patterns, images of thought, and pure musical rhythm.”
I’ve seen this movie (and that scene in particular) several times. I missed a LOT of subtext and subtlety in the way that scene was put together. I knew it was pretty powerful, but I didn’t know why. Now I do.
That was really neat, Harvey.
That movie gets 5 stars, over and over and over… again.
That movie is in my rotation and I should get to it again. I haven’t watched it as often as The Godfather or Bladerunner (theatrical release version) or even Meatballs, but it’s in my top 5.
