One of my favorite movies. I hope you react to - The Danish National Symphony playing The Good the Bad and the Ugly on your music channel. I'm sure you'll enjoy this very unique performance.
And their rendition of the themes from the other two movies in the trilogy are every bit as good. Sadly, very few people on RUclips ever react to the other two themes,
The torture scene with music in the POW camp was inspired by the concentration camps where the prisoners were forced to play music and sing while other prisoners were being tortured and killed. Since this film was done just over twenty years after the Holocaust, it was in the living memory of many people at the time.
Blondie betrayed Tuco initially (maybe preemptively) at the beginning, but he spared him at th end. We see Tuco is not very trustworthy throughout, so Blondie knew early on Tuco had to be handled.
On the other hand, Blondie _did_ split the gold with Tuco, 50-50, so he must have felt they did have some sort of partnership. ... Or maybe four bags was all his horse could carry.
That's not what he was doing. He was having his ultimate revenge on Tuco without killing him. Tuco was left surrounded by all the gold he ever needed and no way to take it away, making it essentially WORTHLESS. Tuco had a choice of trying to carry the gold and likely dying of exhaustion in the desert or leaving it behind. This would have driven him mad.
Congratulations! Better late than never - you've just watched one of the best films ever, regardless of genre. Just everything about it is absolutely top class - and Ennio Morricone's music is immortal. Take it from one who first saw this film in 1966 - and still enjoys watching it.
in the train escape The truly death-defying moment came during a scene where Wallach’s character had to use a passing locomotive to break the chain of the handcuffs binding him after escaping a POW camp. The train, however, was fitted with low steel steps that were overlooked during the scene’s planning stages. This oversight nearly cost Wallach his life, as he found himself alarmingly close to being decapitated. The scene has Tuco showcasing his ingenuity as he escapes from his Union army captors. Chained to a soldier he has just killed, he awaits the next train’s arrival to sever the binding chain. Using a real locomotive was risky enough, yet the filmmakers failed to consider lowered metal steps protruding from the oncoming vehicle. In a bid to stress that it was indeed Wallach himself in this risky situation and not a stunt double, director Leone instructed Wallach to turn his face towards the camera - oblivious that something akin to a guillotine was hurtling towards his actor’s head. Wallach recalled the harrowing experience in his autobiography, describing his protestations to Leone about the danger the train steps posed. “Leone said that the cameraman couldn’t see my face because I was too far down in the hole. ‘Did you see that goddamn step on the train?’ I asked. ‘Do you want me to finish the movie without a head?’ Leone stopped and stared as the train disappeared in the distance. ‘All right,’ he said. ‘We’ll use the first take.'”
Yes, correct. 👍Sometime before this scene was shot, Clint Eastwood had warned Wallach that Sergio was dangerous to work for and could get a person killed.
Classic spaghetti western! This movie is part of the Dollars trilogy the other movies being For a few dollars more(1965) and a fist full of dollars (1964). Thanks Emma and thank you for doing a longer reaction 🎉🎉🇨🇦
Not everybody notices this, but each of the three main characters have their own version of the main theme music. The Good - Whistling The Bad - Acoustic guitar and woodwinds The Ugly - Howling vocals (waa-waa-waaa) When a lot of people recite the music, they tend to combine the whistling and wa-wa-wa vocals together.
It's a testament to how much bias there was against Spaghetti Westerns that somehow Ennio Morricone didn't even get nominated for the Academy Awards for the most famous musical score in movie history. He did eventually win not long before he passed away in 2020. Eli Wallach (Tuco) similarly did not get a deserved nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
I love the scene with the broken down van, and a group of Southern Grey Soldiers come riding to rescue, to the joy of the men. And then stop and clap the sleeve which becomes Northern Blue below the grey dust!
I love the Anti Hero. The Good is not very good at all. But he is better than the others. So good is relative. This movie gives a lot of credit to the audience. I often see women say That Duel scene is TOO long. Yeah. How fast would YOU be willing to make the first move where someone is going to die in one half a heart beat, including maybe yourself?
The soundtrack of the film is composed by Ennio Morricone, the great italian composer of soundtrack of films by Sergio Leone and not only. Ennio Morricone is winner also of a 'Carrer Oscar'.
When Tuco was tracking down Blondie, he found Blondie's camp fires and he checked the cigars he left behind. If the cigar was still burning, it would mean he left recently and wasn't far away. That's why Tuco got excited when the last cigar was smoking. He was on his trail.
Elly Wallach incarnates the word "ectasy" when arrives the semetery. What a performance. Ps: Once Upon in the West must be in your list. It's maybe the best spaghetti western ever filmed
Tucco's ultimate punishment was to be surrounded by all the gold he could ever need but there was no way to transport it out of there. If the tale had continued, it would have played out that way. Tucco probably would have tried to take the gold with him and either given it up along the way or died trying to carry it to "civilization". $100,000 in gold was more than enough to own several homes and thousands of acres of land in the 1860s. It was also much more valuable than paper money.
Only Lee Van Cleef's character is true evil in this tale. Tucco is not "evil". He's morally weak and self-serving. "Angle Eyes" is opportunistic but is "good" in that he does exhibit a moral compass. This was shown in the other "Man With No Name Trilogy" movies, too.
You kept saying "they have real friendship now" throughout the movie. No, they were _not_ "friends" They just needed each other to stay alive because they each had their half of the secret that the other needed to know. That's the ONLY reason they didn't already kill each other earlier in the movie. The only thing even close to friendship was at the end when Blondie allowed Tuco to remain alive after they found the money and he left him his half of the money. And even then, he didn't trust Tuco. That's why after they found the gold, he made Tuco put the rope around his neck and stand on the grave cross so that Blondie could get on his horse and ride far enough away from him to make sure that Tuco wouldn't try to kill him and take all the money. _None_ of these characters were ever actually "friends" in the movie. They just pretended to be friends.
It was more like Blondie and Tuco were "allies" than friends. Tuco could not have shot Blondie because his hands were bound. Blondie was getting his ultimate revenge on Tuco by leaving him alive with all that gold but no way to transport it. That's why Tuco is cursing him. That's a similar theme in many stories. The dilemma of being surrounded by riches with no practical way to take those riches away where they could be used ("cashed in"). That would have driven Tuco crazy.
Just an easy mistake to make if English might not be your native language, a mere slip of tongue, but the meaning is obvious; Nit picking for no real reason I think, but I could also be wrong, your choice.
I'm a civil war reenactor and have two cannons, a12 lb. Napoleon and a 3 inch Ordnance Rifle. We "live fire" both on occasion. Wish we could do a demo. for you.
Glad you enjoyed that. Ennio Morricone was a brilliant composer, right up there with John Williams. Recommend watching Once Upon a Time in the West. What he does with the harmonica is amazing!
During the filming of the scene where the bridge is blown up, due to confusion, two way radio communication and probably some language barrier, the explosives were triggered when there were no cameras rolling. They had to rebuild the bridge at huge extra expense. It was a really dangerous film set
Emma, no, it's not about more than the money No, they aren't friends. No, Tuco doesn't care about Blondie. No, Tuco wasn't really praying for him. Tuco is a rat, and he could not care any less about Blondie; he only wants him to stay alive until Tuco gets the name on the grave.
Fun fact : the spanish dictator Franco gave support with soldiers to make the movie , real explosives , the bridge was explode twice because the first explosion was too soon by a sildier's mistake and the couldnt film it , franco said " ill give you 500 soldiers the bridge will be built in 5 days "... 🫡...
"It's like Spanish dancing" - yes, you understand it. ❤️ One of Tuco's first insults to Blondie was "I hope you end up in a graveyard", and they ended up in a graveyard.
HE (Tuco) was the one who ended up in a hopeless situation in a graveyard. That was the point. He couldn't get the gold out of there. He could walk away without it and had nothing again. To him , a fate worse than death.
"Spaghetti Westerns" were actually filmed in Spain. Sergio didn't want any unwanted ambient sounds in his movie, so everything you hear was recorded in Post Production, from Dialogue down to the rustling of the wind. The Actors had to come back weeks after they shot a scene to record exactly what they said.
"whenever I hear that music it sounds like dogs barking", owwwwooooooowowowowooo, I laughed at your Skoobie-doo dogs sounds, had to play it back again a second time, it was so funny.
What a fabulous reaction to this classic spaghetti western, Emma helped to enhance an already great film; A great film score and some great interplay between Eastwood. Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. Could Emma be any more perfect, she was meltingly hot and playful with a fun, witty pastiche of a Spanish Flamenco dancer; Although Emma did make me feel my years with a quip in the intro about how old the film was/is; The three films Eastwood filmed in Spain helped establish him as a major star and breathed new life in Western; Lastly, Emma just gets ever more jaw-droppingly beautiful as time passes. 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🎵🎶🎙🎧💐💐🤟👍👏
>> Ennio Morricone's famous score, who had been friends with Leone since his school days, also contributed to the film's success. His composition, enriched with numerous concise ideas such as gunshots, whistles and yodeling, which is now firmly anchored in the collective memory of popular culture, accompanies the film throughout its entire duration. The main theme, reminiscent of the howling of a coyote, consists of just two notes (an interval of a fourth) as a leitmotif and is set with different instruments for the three main roles: the flute for the blond, the ocarina for Sentenza and singing for Tuco. The rhythmic and distinctly Mexican-sounding soundtrack is considered one of the greatest film scores in film history.
There are a few who'd agree. I prefer Fist Full of Dollars, over A Few Dollars More, though. But, I really like the trilogy. One of these days, I plan to watch the whole trilogy. It'll be an all day undertaking, I'm sure.
If you like spaghetti westerns, you might like Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Starring Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda. It's about a mysterious gunslinger that shows up in town with a score to settle.
Emma you're looking positively radiant here and this is one of my favourite films. As others have said there are two more films that make up this trilogy A Fist Full of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, both definitely worth watching. 🥰🥰
20:24 I dream that next to this moment there will always be an explanation for everyone that he lights a cigarette to understand how far he is from the blondie!!! No matter how many reactions I watch, everyone always talks about how he dreams of becoming him or just misses him 😹
This is actually the third film of a lose trilogy staring Clint Eastwood and directed by Sergio Leone, usually called 'The Man with No Name' trilogy, because Eastwood's characters in all three are clearly going by some kind of nickname and never reveal their actual name. The first two films are Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. Other than Eastwood's character, the three movies have nothing to do with one another. Fistful of Dollars is also a deliberate remake of the Akira Kurosawa's brilliant movie Yojimbo. . .which no one bothered to get permission for and the studio lost a significant lawsuit over it.
Emma,,,now you meet Tuco!!!,,,this was my Dad and i's fave western,,,every now and then they would show this on a Saturday Matinee and we'd go see it(not to mention Every TV Showing),,,,Morricone is a Certified Genius!!!!,,,LoveYou Babes Hava Great Day!!!!!
Trivia for those watching for the first time: Tuco's voice sounds weird in the scene when he brings the chicken to his bandit friends because Eli Wallach dubbed the voice in many years later as an old man. The original English dialogue he spoke for that scene had been lost over the years, so when the movie was remastered and that scene added back to the movie, they had him dub it. They did similarly with Angel Eyes's voice in the scene where he visits the Union fort to get info about Bill Carson and gives the soldier a bottle of booze, but Lee Van Cleef was already dead (RIP) so they had to get a voice actor to stand in for him. Finally, Wallach and Eastwood had to do likewise for Tuco and Blondie's voices in one of the shots of them in the carriage which had been cut, and the shot with Tuco taunting Blondie with the bucket of water.
There was a documentary on netflix about the cemetary at the end of the movie, this movie was HUGE in Spain back in the day, the cemetary was built by spanish soldiers by an order from Franco the dictator of Spain at the time, and the film maker payed not very much money for it being constructed, as the years went by the fake cemetary was being re claimed by nature, and avid fans of the film from the local community took it upon themselves to restore the cemetary, it was overgrown and it takes allot of work, now its somewhat back to original shape but needs maintaining, so if you want to support the project you can donate to them some amount and instead your name will be on one of the graves in the cemetary, I loved the documentary and the movie ofc.
Nice reaction. You mentioned the music, this sound track was composed by Ennio Morricone who is the greatest soundtrack composer of all time. imo In his career he would compose and arrange music for over 400 films and TV shows. I think his best score was "The Mission". It featured music arranged around the song "Gabriel's Oboe" which is an absolutely beautiful orchestra piece that you would love. You should consider reacting to that movie staring Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons. Very nice period movie set in Paraguay, 1700's.
Yes! I forgot that was a Morricone movie. His music with that camera work makes the movie a beautiful piece of art. (Chef's kiss!) Writing, directing, acting and editing was OK too. ;) He also made the music for John Carpenter's 1982 horror The Thing. Carpenter usually makes his own soundtracks, but here he needed something extra.
About that explosion: IMO it is the most impressive movie explosion I have ever seen, most likely because it looks so strong, without any gasoline and all at once. Having an explosion in sequence only makes sense if you want to keep collateral damage to a minimum, which was not a consideration here. Unfortunately. Because the reason the explosion looked so great was because it was done by amateurs. AFAIK they had to do it twice because they detonated it once too early. And because it was so massive it was sheer luck that nobody was killed during filming. Just look at the rock that almost hit Eli Wallach!
Emma, although the Theme to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is so iconic, I was so looking forward to your reaction to “The Ecstasy of Gold” the song playing as Tuco was running through the cemetery. I admire how you seem to flawlessly imitate the melodies of musical renditions which is why I highly anticipated hearing you sing out a few of those notes. Love your overall reaction just the same.
I need to actually watch this full movie sometime. I know it is one of THE quintessential westerns, which is funny considering it was written/directed by an Italian, filmed in Spain, and (if memory serves) mostly funded by a German Film Studio, with only the main three characters being Americans (hence the obvious dubbing for the rest of the cast, who are all speaking either Spanish or Italian. Really enjoyed your reaction and engagement. One of the things that Sergio Leone added to the genre was the tense stare downs before a 'quickdraw' gunfight. This is completely made up for film (I think there were sometimes quickdraw competitions in Wild West shows that would tour around to entertain but if I am remembering correctly there is only one recorded case of a face off, quickdraw gunfight and I believe both participants were quite drunk. As a film trope and a way to build energy and tension, it is brilliant and looks fantastic on camera.
There at the end whe you said you felt like a Spanish dance you don't know how right you were. This Italian directed "Spaghetti Western" was actually filmed in Spain. The American actors were supported by Italian and Spanish supporting and bit actors.
The Italians: Sergio Leone (director) and Ennio Morricone (music composer). The Americans: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. The spanish ones: the locations. The video Emma need to watch: The Danish National Symphony playing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and, The Ecstasy of Gold.
Emma you really need react to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra performing 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly' on your 'Sing With Emma Today' channel.
Blondie LOVES words-jokes: our partnership is untied... not you, you remain tied . I get the money and you can have the rope it's not a joke it's a rope.
EMMA,,, I really like you,,, but you were so naive thinking that Tuco and blondie were real friends,,,even though Tuco wasn't bad enough like the BAD character he could have killed blondie for less money than that.
Hello Emma, thank you for your sweet comment. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly what a film for me, it brings back childhood sentiment, I remember when I was 10 years old and was allowed to stay up later to watch this film with my father. It also has emotional value for me. And then the music of Ennio Morricone, unfortunately he died at the age of 91 from complications of a hip fracture after a fall. The AHIA AHIA that is so famous must represent a coyote howl. The skeleton in the coffin belongs to an actress whose dying wish was to have her remains used in films, Sergio Leone made this wish come true. There are two more films to put on your list A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, both by Sergio Leone and the music of Ennio Morricone, starring Clint Eastwood. Together, the three films are also called the DOLLARS TRILOGY. There is a fourth that belongs in this list and that is ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST also by Sergio Leone and the music of Ennio Morricone, Clint Eastwood was asked for the role but turned it down. This film is of the same caliber as The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Greetings and Love from Paul
If you want to see a good western that shows native Americans as fully fleshed out people and not just as caricatures watch Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman and the great Chief Dan George. It's both funny and touching.
Other than the music, cinematography, realistic grittiness, and message; to me it's the climactic scene of the 3-way gunfight that makes for the high suspense that makes this a great film. The audience is in there with Tuco and Angel Eyes thinking it is a real 3-way gunfight between 3 participants definitely independently motivated and very skilled physically and tactically. Leone's genius is setting that tension for a prolonged time giving the audience a lot of time to experience somewhat what the characters are going through. Who wins this contest? Whoever shoots first at a target would lose when he is shot by the guy he doesn't target. They all know this, so they don't want to be the guy who shoots first. Since no one wants to shoot first, who does? Peace? Blondie knows of his opponents it is Tuco that could not hold his anxiety at bay with his mind's logic as long as the cool, calculated Angel Eyes. So even if he didnt rig the contest, he knows it is Angel Eyes he needs to keep his concentration on and need to fire upon when the action starts. The audience doesn't know the contest is rigged, so you're left contemplating the characters and what they'll do while thinking about what you'd do. I like films that demand full emersion and thinking by the audience inorder to get the full intended experience of them. One of them is one of my favorite films that also stars Clint Eastwood, "Where Eagles Dare". Not many reactions to that great film that has everything. Check it out.
The film takes place during Confederate General Sibley's invasion of the New Mexico Territory. The Good isn't very good, the Bad is horrible, and the Ugly is just as bad. There is a story that the bones in the grave are real and that they belong to a Spanish actress who wanted to keep acting after she died. Look at all of the emotion conveyed just in the eyes in that last cemetery scene.
Sergio Leone got sued by Akira Kurosawa because his "A Fistful of Dollars" followed the same plot as his 'Yojimbo' (swap out guns for kitanas and you have it), even though Kuroasawa borrowed a lot of inspiration from Dashell Hammet's "Red Harvest." Funny enough, about the closest there was to a direct adaptation of that book was the Bruce Willis vehicle "Last Man Standing."

I had a big crush to Clint Eastwood as a teenager, his eyes....!!!! I watched every film with him several times!😁
I watch it every year and never get tired of it)) the scene with Tuco running at the cemetery is the best thing that cinema has ever made)

Yes, correct. 👍Sometime before this scene was shot, Clint Eastwood had warned Wallach that Sergio was dangerous to work for and could get a person killed.

As one more time the critics hated it (two stars) and the fans loved it and rightfully so.

SERGIO LEONE had such respect for the composer he edited the film to the length of the music instead of editing the music to the scene
This film is what made me a fan of movies. And the soundtrack is so good. Great reaction as always!

One of Tuco's first insults to Blondie was "I hope you end up in a graveyard", and they ended up in a graveyard.
HE (Tuco) was the one who ended up in a hopeless situation in a graveyard. That was the point. He couldn't get the gold out of there. He could walk away without it and had nothing again. To him , a fate worse than death.
This Was Definitely One Of My Dad's Favorite Western Movies,He Would Have Loved Seeing Your Reactions Sweetheart ❤
the fact you fell for Tuco's little friendship ruse makes me scared for you in real life
She seems like very overly trusting and little gullible person indeed, probably with very kind heart too
I don't think we need to worry, Emma is sharp enough not get
caught out, but yes a genuinely good person I believe.
Love this film ❤❤
"Spaghetti Westerns" were actually filmed in Spain.
Sergio didn't want any unwanted ambient sounds in his movie, so everything you hear was recorded in Post Production, from Dialogue down to the rustling of the wind. The Actors had to come back weeks after they shot a scene to record exactly what they said.
Yes! Do the Danish Symphony Orchestra version of the theme. Mind blowing! ❤
Up Next:."A Fist Full of Dollars" (1964) , then: "For a Few Dollars More"(1965), classic Spaghetti Westerns of the Dollars Trilogy by Sergio Leone.
Great reaction to a great movie Emma
Glad you had fun Emma ❤
I did!😘
@Emma_Reactions You will always be successful because you are your real self when you do reactions & we love your real self ♥️
The first great Western I saw. Think I watched first in like 1980. It's gritty and well acted. Thanks for the review.
"whenever I hear that music it sounds like dogs barking", owwwwooooooowowowowooo, I laughed at your Skoobie-doo dogs sounds, had to play it back again a second time, it was so funny.
This is definitely one of the top 5 or 6 westerns ever, to me. However, the music is #1!
Not just one of the top 5 or 6 Westerns, but of films ever.
What a fabulous reaction to this classic spaghetti western, Emma helped to enhance
an already great film; A great film score and some great interplay between Eastwood. Van Cleef and
Eli Wallach. Could Emma be any more perfect, she was meltingly hot and playful with a fun, witty
pastiche of a Spanish Flamenco dancer; Although Emma did make me feel my years with a quip in the
intro about how old the film was/is; The three films Eastwood filmed in Spain helped establish him as a major
star and breathed new life in Western; Lastly, Emma just gets ever more jaw-droppingly beautiful as time
passes.

>> Ennio Morricone's famous score, who had been friends with Leone since his school days, also contributed to the film's success. His composition, enriched with numerous concise ideas such as gunshots, whistles and yodeling, which is now firmly anchored in the collective memory of popular culture, accompanies the film throughout its entire duration.
The main theme, reminiscent of the howling of a coyote, consists of just two notes (an interval of a fourth) as a leitmotif and is set with different instruments for the three main roles: the flute for the blond, the ocarina for Sentenza and singing for Tuco.
The rhythmic and distinctly Mexican-sounding soundtrack is considered one of the greatest film scores in film history.
Loved this movie. I would also recommend this 1969 film, Mackenna's Gold
I had the soundtrack vinyl album of this, as a boy. It was that iconic
I think "For a Few Dollars More" is the best one.
There are a few who'd agree. I prefer Fist Full of Dollars, over A Few Dollars More, though. But, I really like the trilogy.
One of these days, I plan to watch the whole trilogy. It'll be an all day undertaking, I'm sure.
one of the holy trinity of Clints pasta westerns :)
If you like spaghetti westerns, you might like Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Starring Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda. It's about a mysterious gunslinger that shows up in town with a score to settle.
An absolute classic!
Emma you're looking positively radiant here and this is one of my favourite films. As others have said there are two more films that make up this trilogy A Fist Full of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, both definitely worth watching. 🥰🥰
Oh thank you!
20:24 I dream that next to this moment there will always be an explanation for everyone that he lights a cigarette to understand how far he is from the blondie!!! No matter how many reactions I watch, everyone always talks about how he dreams of becoming him or just misses him 😹
This is actually the third film of a lose trilogy staring Clint Eastwood and directed by Sergio Leone, usually called 'The Man with No Name' trilogy, because Eastwood's characters in all three are clearly going by some kind of nickname and never reveal their actual name. The first two films are Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. Other than Eastwood's character, the three movies have nothing to do with one another. Fistful of Dollars is also a deliberate remake of the Akira Kurosawa's brilliant movie Yojimbo. . .which no one bothered to get permission for and the studio lost a significant lawsuit over it.
Emma,,,now you meet Tuco!!!,,,this was my Dad and i's fave western,,,every now and then they would show this on a Saturday Matinee and we'd go see it(not to mention Every TV Showing),,,,Morricone is a Certified Genius!!!!,,,LoveYou Babes Hava Great Day!!!!!
Wow) ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😉 thank you for your comment, it’s 😁 so great)
I got a kick out of Emma trying to make these guys out as friends when they clearly are not. 😁
Trivia for those watching for the first time: Tuco's voice sounds weird in the scene when he brings the chicken to his bandit friends because Eli Wallach dubbed the voice in many years later as an old man. The original English dialogue he spoke for that scene had been lost over the years, so when the movie was remastered and that scene added back to the movie, they had him dub it.
They did similarly with Angel Eyes's voice in the scene where he visits the Union fort to get info about Bill Carson and gives the soldier a bottle of booze, but Lee Van Cleef was already dead (RIP) so they had to get a voice actor to stand in for him.
Finally, Wallach and Eastwood had to do likewise for Tuco and Blondie's voices in one of the shots of them in the carriage which had been cut, and the shot with Tuco taunting Blondie with the bucket of water.
... Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez, also known as ... The Rat ... A Memorable Performance by Eli Wallach. :)
2:27 "Is it O.K. ? No hello, no nothing." Votre authentique spontanéité est géniale sur cette phrase. J'adore, c'est drôle à souhait. ♥
After this movie blondie n tucco remain friends over 50 yrs I have pictures until tucco passing
There was a documentary on netflix about the cemetary at the end of the movie, this movie was HUGE in Spain back in the day, the cemetary was built by spanish soldiers by an order from Franco the dictator of Spain at the time, and the film maker payed not very much money for it being constructed, as the years went by the fake cemetary was being re claimed by nature, and avid fans of the film from the local community took it upon themselves to restore the cemetary, it was overgrown and it takes allot of work, now its somewhat back to original shape but needs maintaining, so if you want to support the project you can donate to them some amount and instead your name will be on one of the graves in the cemetary, I loved the documentary and the movie ofc.
Great movie. Long too. Beautiful
Nice reaction. You mentioned the music, this sound track was composed by Ennio Morricone who is the greatest soundtrack composer of all time. imo In his career he would compose and arrange music for over 400 films and TV shows. I think his best score was "The Mission". It featured music arranged around the song "Gabriel's Oboe" which is an absolutely beautiful orchestra piece that you would love. You should consider reacting to that movie staring Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons. Very nice period movie set in Paraguay, 1700's.
Yes! I forgot that was a Morricone movie.
His music with that camera work makes the movie a beautiful piece of art. (Chef's kiss!) Writing, directing, acting and editing was OK too. ;)
He also made the music for John Carpenter's 1982 horror The Thing. Carpenter usually makes his own soundtracks, but here he needed something extra.
About that explosion: IMO it is the most impressive movie explosion I have ever seen, most likely because it looks so strong, without any gasoline and all at once. Having an explosion in sequence only makes sense if you want to keep collateral damage to a minimum, which was not a consideration here.
Unfortunately.
Because the reason the explosion looked so great was because it was done by amateurs. AFAIK they had to do it twice because they detonated it once too early. And because it was so massive it was sheer luck that nobody was killed during filming. Just look at the rock that almost hit Eli Wallach!
Ah yes, the so called "spaghetti westerns", good stuff, legendary Clint Eastwood, reminds me of "My name is nobody" which was awesome.
Emma, although the Theme to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is so iconic, I was so looking forward to your reaction to “The Ecstasy of Gold” the song playing as Tuco was running through the cemetery. I admire how you seem to flawlessly imitate the melodies of musical renditions which is why I highly anticipated hearing you sing out a few of those notes. Love your overall reaction just the same.
This movie is in my top 1. And that's not a typo.
I need to actually watch this full movie sometime. I know it is one of THE quintessential westerns, which is funny considering it was written/directed by an Italian, filmed in Spain, and (if memory serves) mostly funded by a German Film Studio, with only the main three characters being Americans (hence the obvious dubbing for the rest of the cast, who are all speaking either Spanish or Italian. Really enjoyed your reaction and engagement. One of the things that Sergio Leone added to the genre was the tense stare downs before a 'quickdraw' gunfight. This is completely made up for film (I think there were sometimes quickdraw competitions in Wild West shows that would tour around to entertain but if I am remembering correctly there is only one recorded case of a face off, quickdraw gunfight and I believe both participants were quite drunk. As a film trope and a way to build energy and tension, it is brilliant and looks fantastic on camera.
There at the end whe you said you felt like a Spanish dance you don't know how right you were. This Italian directed "Spaghetti Western" was actually filmed in Spain. The American actors were supported by Italian and Spanish supporting and bit actors.
The Italians: Sergio Leone (director) and Ennio Morricone (music composer).
The Americans: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach.
The spanish ones: the locations.
The video Emma need to watch: The Danish National Symphony playing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and, The Ecstasy of Gold.
The "wah-a-wah-wah" leitmotif was supposed to mimic the sound of coyotes, so you were close on it being like dogs.
Emma you really need react to the Danish National Symphony Orchestra performing 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly' on your 'Sing With Emma Today' channel.
you are right!!! Will do!😘
@@Emma_Reactions promise you won't regret it.
You will love it.
Is it not enough that a million people have already reacted to it? Maybe get a fresh piece of music in there that no one has reacted to yet?
Greatest Western goes into best symphonic movie music cover of all time! Hope you love it too.
It's an "Italian" movie but made in Spain with a lot of American actors and most of the extras are Spaniards.
or the outlaw Josey whales
Best of the Best
Blondie LOVES words-jokes:
our partnership is untied... not you, you remain tied . I get the money and you can have the rope
it's not a joke it's a rope.
Yes, you MUST WATCH The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (live) playing music from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" Very enjoyable and interesting!
EMMA,,, I really like you,,, but you were so naive thinking that Tuco and blondie were real friends,,,even though Tuco wasn't bad enough like the BAD character he could have killed blondie for less money than that.
Hello Emma, thank you for your sweet comment.
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly what a film for me, it brings back childhood sentiment, I remember when I was 10 years old and was allowed to stay up later to watch this film with my father.
It also has emotional value for me.
And then the music of Ennio Morricone, unfortunately he died at the age of 91 from complications of a hip fracture after a fall.
The AHIA AHIA that is so famous must represent a coyote howl.
The skeleton in the coffin belongs to an actress whose dying wish was to have her remains used in films, Sergio Leone made this wish come true.
There are two more films to put on your list A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, both by Sergio Leone and the music of Ennio Morricone, starring Clint Eastwood.
Together, the three films are also called the DOLLARS TRILOGY.
There is a fourth that belongs in this list and that is ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST also by Sergio Leone and the music of Ennio Morricone, Clint Eastwood was asked for the role but turned it down.
This film is of the same caliber as The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
Greetings and Love from Paul
Not a Western, but check out Clint in Dirty Harry, and his directorial debut, Play Misty For Me
If you want to see a good western that shows native Americans as fully fleshed out people and not just as caricatures watch Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman and the great Chief Dan George. It's both funny and touching.
I encourage you to see "Fistful of Dynamite" (1971). It's a great movie with a great music too, made by the same director and the same composer.
He literally said "Unknown next to Arch Stanton".
"Friends", oh sweet naive Emma! 😂😜
Other than the music, cinematography, realistic grittiness, and message; to me it's the climactic scene of the 3-way gunfight that makes for the high suspense that makes this a great film.
The audience is in there with Tuco and Angel Eyes thinking it is a real 3-way gunfight between 3 participants definitely independently motivated and very skilled physically and tactically. Leone's genius is setting that tension for a prolonged time giving the audience a lot of time to experience somewhat what the characters are going through. Who wins this contest? Whoever shoots first at a target would lose when he is shot by the guy he doesn't target. They all know this, so they don't want to be the guy who shoots first. Since no one wants to shoot first, who does? Peace? Blondie knows of his opponents it is Tuco that could not hold his anxiety at bay with his mind's logic as long as the cool, calculated Angel Eyes. So even if he didnt rig the contest, he knows it is Angel Eyes he needs to keep his concentration on and need to fire upon when the action starts.
The audience doesn't know the contest is rigged, so you're left contemplating the characters and what they'll do while thinking about what you'd do.
I like films that demand full emersion and thinking by the audience inorder to get the full intended experience of them.
One of them is one of my favorite films that also stars Clint Eastwood, "Where Eagles Dare". Not many reactions to that great film that has everything. Check it out.
The film takes place during Confederate General Sibley's invasion of the New Mexico Territory. The Good isn't very good, the Bad is horrible, and the Ugly is just as bad.
There is a story that the bones in the grave are real and that they belong to a Spanish actress who wanted to keep acting after she died.
Look at all of the emotion conveyed just in the eyes in that last cemetery scene.
Sergio Leone got sued by Akira Kurosawa because his "A Fistful of Dollars" followed the same plot as his 'Yojimbo' (swap out guns for kitanas and you have it), even though Kuroasawa borrowed a lot of inspiration from Dashell Hammet's "Red Harvest."
Funny enough, about the closest there was to a direct adaptation of that book was the Bruce Willis vehicle "Last Man Standing."
