54 years old, and this puts modern movies to bed. Claudia Cardinale. Ennio Morricone. Sergio Leone. And Monument Valley. Motion picture perfection. Stick your CGI, where the sun can't shine!
I can only agree, goosebumps and the best descision of Sergio Leone. I believe her competeting actresses of this time and her similar age, Sophie Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Raquel Welch and perhaps Liz Taylor beauty stars too (by other meanings and preferences) could not play the role with such an outstanding expression at all close up scenes in their faces, only Claudia.
@@psrfpsrf Sophia Loren was originally given the role as her husband Carlo Ponti was very close to Sergio. But after thinking about it, and before shooting began,Sergio changed his mind. He said he didn't need a diva.
In my humble opinion the most iconic moviescore ever. Can anyone imagine how a man (Ennio Morricone) can compose this piece of art? There must be a higher spirit to do this.
Correction: not a man... Ennio Morricone... DIRECTED by Sergio Leone. People tend to forget that Sergio was 100% part of the musical score, he DROVE the composition. I love Ennio, but what we see AND hear in this movie is the absolute genius of Sergio Leone. Working with the bests talents of course (Ennio, Claudia, Charles, Henri, Jason, etc.)
Such a craft! Sergio Leone taking his sweet time. This is what differentiates great movies from others. You are not focused on finding out whats gonna happen next, you are simply enjoying whats happening. Cause its not about the destination, its about the journey.
Of all the music I have listened to in my entire life, this song has got to be one of the most beautiful compositions ever composed and for the best western film ever produced.
And 'Deborah theme' from Once Upon a time in America. From the music of raw and untamed masculinity of "Dollar" series, Leone was shifting towards a life where role of woman becoming more prominent in life. Both this and Deborah are predominantly feminine theme. Both among finest of movie score. Salute to Morricone.
Leone and Morricone. My God what those two alone achieved in this clip let alone their entire run together is nothing short of monumental. To think they were in primary school together, didn't see each other for thirty years, then happened to meet up and change the world of cinema. This is the pinnacle. Once Upon a Time in the West is High Art. And this theme is quite possibly the greatest of all time.
Man, this scene had me crying because of how breathtakingly gorgeous Morricone’s score is! 😭 I was absolutely blown away by how the vocals and instrumentals blended so beautifully together! I was left speechless less than halfway through Once Upon A Time In The West! It became a 5 star film instantly in my eyes! One of the greatest masterpieces ever! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Building the town cost more than The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, and it was worth it even if just for this one shot. In combination with the music, it's absolutely breathtaking.
This masterpeice had everything...Claudia, Fonda, Bronson, Leoni's film genius, Morricones's music, wonderful Western scenery and a changing take on Western folklore as seen through cinema. The supporting cast were magnificent too, all understanding the Western genre. One of the best movies to ever come out of cinematic history.
Not willing to diss Ennio, I love him, BUT... But Ennio was DIRECTED by Leone... So you see and hear Sergio Leone genius, both in visual story telling AND in sound/music/ambiance setup.
The scene at the station (with the camera pan up the side of the building onto the town) is recognised as the first ever 'music video', as the soundtrack was recorded first and the scene shot to fit it rather than the other way around.
Not exactly an error. She was waiting at the station a while, and may have decided to board the train again before changing her mind. You'll need to read the script for the right answer. It's not like Leone to make a glaring error like that.
The storytelling of the scene is a masterpiece. It´s telling you everything you need to know about where she´s arrived, who, the condition of the town, society and historic time (kind of) You realize she´s arrive to The West, not the idealized west but somewhat more real and dangerous. A place where people needs to work for a living under a cloud of dust.
Once upon a time this was the present. It was now and all the labor that went into laying the railroad tracks. Can't imagine and they're gone just like the dust blowing. Love this movie and the music.
This music, this score, this magnificent moment in time has enriched all of our lives. If you don't agree that it's one of the finest accomplishments that ever graced our world it's at the least on a very, very short list. Over 50 years old and still it brings me to tears and incredible joy. We are all the better for having heard this incredible, gorgeous, haunting and most beautiful song.
2:30 the happy music stops. She looks at the clock. The haunting music starts and you know that there’s something wrong. The crane shot to see the town is amazing. Fantastic cinematography
Long shot, medium shot, tracking shot, panning shot, crane shot and wide/establishing shot, all seamlessly combined in one, in perfect unison with the music. Absolute cinematic gold.
I understand, and it's sad and beautiful. But, I don't need any "real life loss", to cry each time at this scene (and some others from this movie). Just for saying that the movie is "intense enough" to bring tears. Of course, with personal memories it must be even more moving.
Claudia Cardinale is the Beauty, Fonda plays the wicked bad guy for a change and Bronson is the “loner” who comes to Jill’s rescue. A DEFINITE MUST SEE….. 5 stars ✨
This Film is perfection...just amazing..I like all sorts of films..from silent films from the 20's too the new Star wars films...this has everything..amazing score tied in with amazing camera work... especially the faces
This movie was the most popular western film ever to play in France. OUATITW was without doubt one of the primary sources of inspiration for the Blueberry western comics series created and written by Jean-Michel Charlier and illustrated by Jean "Moebius" Giraud.
Can't help but feeling sorry for her... Arrived full of hope and then the ultimate in disappointment. Little did she know what was in store for her. Spellbinding music.
What a Fantastic film,every time i hear that Music it sends a chill down my spine-Simply Wonderful,& i think has got to be the Finest Western Movie ever made.
The only madterpiece about this movie is the background music, the them, thats it everything thing else is just killing and a whole bunch of all actors. Too old to draw fast. Ponder on that!, but the music is a true másterpiece!
Can't believe I'm watching this again...got tears running down damn it... This is beauty of soundtrack, scenes capture is amazing. Jill fill with hope upon arrival then suddenly have to catch a ride home... She got to see the splendor of dusty town lol
There were a handful of film tracks that haunted me for a long time after watching the films they were in and they definitely played a big role in forming my musical taste. This one was among those and I cannot listen to it without gratitude for forming me and giving me bitter sweet memories. Thank you, Ennio.
The most effective n expressive soundtrack of Spaghetti Western.Ennio Morrison st his best.Claudia Cardinal looks stunning n beautiful.True Italian Diva.
So glad I was able to see this and all the other Leone films in theaters on first release way long ago. Once Upon a Time in the West actually got little play or hype then, played 2nd tier theaters, Phoenix, AZ 1969. Back then, I couldn't find a soundtrack album; finally looked in the giant book at the record store, and found it listed under "Pop Titles" instead of "Pop Albums", and ordered it. Decades later, I got the expanded European soundtracks for this, GBU, and For a Few Dollars More on CDs.
Greatest spaghetti western movie of all time.Claudia Cardinale look so stunning,gorgeous n beautiful!One of the most Italian actress along with Alida Vali,Gina Lolobrigeda n Sophia Loren!
This is a movie. It captivates you, it moves you, it makes you relate to the main character. Then tell me why for the past 30-40 years, we've been given shit over shit over shit on the screen of movie theatres. Superheroes movies, animated movies, all sort of crap movies....
Greatest western of all time. Monument Valley is an amazing place. Every few feet that you go through it the scenery changes into something dramatically new. Every picture that you take is better than the last. Ford and Leonne knew it.
Horseman -- Yes MV is in Utah, just north of the Arizona border. Find Kayenta, AZ in Google maps, then follow Route 163 north to the border. I hope you get there. You won't forget it. And you can also find the "arch" too. It is at 37° 7'45.83 N 109°58'24.87 W
I live in Texas and I've been to Sweetwater, Texas and it just mostly flat land with mesquite, desert, and cactus; no where near as majestic and pretty as that place. Thanks for the info.
Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best and greatest movie's ever made..got to see the whole picture to know what the meaning and the sense of this beautiful song is..
This kind of music is not listed to anymore,times have changed so much if you listen to the song and think back to the 60 70 I can remember every thing in the movie all of the once upon a time in the west.they were the best movies made then.
54 years old, and this puts modern movies to bed.
Claudia Cardinale. Ennio Morricone. Sergio Leone. And Monument Valley.
Motion picture perfection.
Stick your CGI, where the sun can't shine!
Verdade. Um dos melhores filmes ja produzido de todos os tempos ...
Virou patrimônio cinematográfico nos Eua
The finest combination of music and film you'll ever likely to see.
Leone actually played the score while filming
I AGREE!!!
Well, actually Sergio Leone, Bernardo Bertolucci and Dario Argento wrote the script to the music, as for an opera.
You said it magnificent
What about the good, the bad and the ugly.?
Ennio Morricone's music beauty + Claudia Cardiale's beauty = too much to handle
I can only agree, goosebumps and the best descision of Sergio Leone. I believe her competeting actresses of this time and her similar age, Sophie Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Raquel Welch and perhaps Liz Taylor beauty stars too (by other meanings and preferences) could not play the role with such an outstanding expression at all close up scenes in their faces, only Claudia.

100 %
@@hennagaijin100 Thankfully so. CCardinale was the only one who could have taken the film to this level.
This scene is the ultimate in cinema
Absolutely excellent you’ll never listen to or see such a brilliant movie again from the past.
No doubt!!

jill's theme is imo the most beautiful piece of music ever written
I hope Mr. Morricone heard this song on the way to the Gates of Heaven.
Such a craft! Sergio Leone taking his sweet time. This is what differentiates great movies from others. You are not focused on finding out whats gonna happen next, you are simply enjoying whats happening. Cause its not about the destination, its about the journey.
It sure is:)
So many films move way too fast.
Of all the music I have listened to in my entire life, this song has got to be one of the most beautiful compositions ever composed and for the best western film ever produced.
You nailed it
The good the bad and the ugly
Was the best, great second best, but didn't do well in the cinemas funny and enough.

Both this and Deborah are predominantly feminine theme. Both among finest of movie score. Salute to Morricone.
You can remove "western" from you sentence, this is the best movie EVER.
One of the best film scenes ever shot.
Man you can feel the aura of Jill's character her hopes, dreams and desire through a scene basically without lines fantastic
The scene when she realizes that her husband is “late” always makes me tear up.
Claudia Cardinale' eyes and the joy of Morricone' score. That's Cinema.
If this entire film was just 3 hours of wide shots of the landscape with Ennio Morricone's music, it would still be one of my favourites.
Tear, tear, tear... this film is eight wonder!
Make's even a grown man shed a tear this great western scene !
I went back to it AGAIN, just to cry AGAIN. Pure art. This is Cinema.
Leone and Morricone. My God what those two alone achieved in this clip let alone their entire run together is nothing short of monumental.

Yes!
Good taste!
Totally agree!
Well said. Extremely well said.
this is one of the most beautiful things mankind ever made, the voice is heaven, unbelievable that someone can produce such a sound.
The voice is from Edda Dell'Orso now 86 years old
Building the town cost more than The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, and it was worth it even if just for this one shot. In combination with the music, it's absolutely breathtaking.
The visuals from Sergio’s movies in the great America along with Morricones music takes me to a high place of happiness
3:50-4:10. The best sync of visuals and music ever created, gives me goosebumps everytime.
Agree. Same here
❤❤good taste❤❤❤

Words cannot convey what this music does to me.
The music reminds me of that old movie, Once Upon A Time In The West. No idea why...
Llorar❤❤❤❤❤
One of the finest scenes ever in a film. The camera shot, the music, the climax as the camera shows the town..................fantastic.
The scene at the station (with the camera pan up the side of the building onto the town) is recognised as the first ever 'music video', as the soundtrack was recorded first and the scene shot to fit it rather than the other way around.
Great scene, but a bit ruined by the continuity error, as she walks twice from the train to the station.
Not exactly an error. She was waiting at the station a while, and may have decided to board the train again before changing her mind. You'll need to read the script for the right answer. It's not like Leone to make a glaring error like that.
One of the greatest scene of a movie all time.
There are scenes...there are great scenes.....then there is this.
The storytelling of the scene is a masterpiece. It´s telling you everything you need to know about where she´s arrived, who, the condition of the town, society and historic time (kind of) You realize she´s arrive to The West, not the idealized west but somewhat more real and dangerous. A place where people needs to work for a living under a cloud of dust.
I think it takes place in the 1880s, Jesse James was explained in a deleted scene to have once been framed by Frank.
Eine der wunderschönsten Melodieen die es auf der Welt gibt
Rest in peace, Ennio Morricone. If all we had was just this film, you would still be ranked with the greatest to ever score a motion picture.
Score that elevates this scene is absolute mastery both Sergio and Ennio are visionary 💛 and of course Claudia the beauty❤
Once upon a time this was the present. It was now and all the labor that went into laying the railroad tracks. Can't imagine and they're gone just like the dust blowing. Love this movie and the music.

Rest in peace, Master Morricone. This scene and this music has touched my soul when I was 10, and I have never been the same.
same with me i was about 10 very moving i thought claudia cardinale was the most beautiful woman who ever lived
Thank you, Dad for sharing this gem of a movie.
This song reminds me of my dad when
I was little
same. man, this song is gonna break me when he's gone :(
Claudia Cardinale, one of the most beautiful women ever
Long shot, medium shot, tracking shot, panning shot, crane shot and wide/establishing shot, all seamlessly combined in one, in perfect unison with the music. Absolute cinematic gold.
And Claudia Cardinale.
@@hennagaijin100 Such an angel entering hell. Claudia is one of my childhood crush.
Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone. It doesn't get better than this. Gives me chills.
And the divine Ms Cardinale.
rest in peace
Amen
She's soooooooo beautiful ...
Yes, a very beautiful song. And the actress is also beautiful and wonderful
Best western movie of all time!
Plus the best music of any western all time!
I must disagree: you can remove "western" and I'll agree :)... Best movie EVER.
Watched this film as a child with my father , my father as passed now , the music the film brings a tear to my eye
Exactly the same for me!
I understand, and it's sad and beautiful. But, I don't need any "real life loss", to cry each time at this scene (and some others from this movie). Just for saying that the movie is "intense enough" to bring tears. Of course, with personal memories it must be even more moving.
This tune will always give me goosebumps, Ennio Morricone Will always be one of the world's best composers. Jill 71
R.I.P. Ennio Morricone. Scenes like this would be nothing without your music.
Love how the crane shot rises in unison with the music as it builds to its crescendo.
Goddamnit this is one beautiful piece of cinematography and composition.
Stunning film

R.I.P Ennio Morricone 💔
This is perhaps my favorite composition of Morricone.
The depth of quality is like no other.
This is the ultimate art of film making
Might just be with this sublime iconic music the best scene in cinema history.

God bless Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone this is beyond beautiful
The greatest movie ever made, only surpassed by the soundtrack
The music is so beautiful. Surely it must be a superpower to be able to capture such emotional feeling in musical notes.
This music was not composed for this scene, it was the other way arround. Sergio made this scène after hearing the music
It's an absolute masterpiece. Movie pushed to its furthermost aesthetical limits.
Can't help but feeling sorry for her... Arrived full of hope
and then the ultimate in disappointment.

Let me fix your typo: «Greatest movie of all time»
the theme suits the mrs.Jill, she doesnt know she already is a widow so her smile is still hopefull,, except for the reality that awaits her
She is a good actress in this classic movie, and she is very beautiful too.Amazing shot and the music, sad and just right.
Makes me wants to go back and live in the past... touching melancholic music
And you won't get to use RUclips.

An absolute gem of a Western film! In fact, I want to see it (yet again!) right now!!
Everything about this scene is perfection
Best scene.
I always come to see this scene"Jill's arrival". May be because the theme song is very suitable to the scene.
Rip Ennio Morricone. You made the world seem so much more beautiful
That epic theme will make you cry for a moment. It did to me.
God fucking dammit, this is so beautiful
Greatest western of all time. Monument Valley is an amazing place. Every few feet that you go through it the scenery changes into something dramatically new. Every picture that you take is better than the last. Ford and Leonne knew it.
George Sealy, is Monument Valley in Utah? I know its not Texas.
Horseman -- Yes MV is in Utah, just north of the Arizona border. Find Kayenta, AZ in Google maps, then follow Route 163 north to the border. I hope you get there. You won't forget it. And you can also find the "arch" too. It is at 37° 7'45.83 N 109°58'24.87 W

Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best and greatest movie's ever made..got to see the whole picture to know what the meaning and the sense of this beautiful song is..
This scene requires very few words, music and scenery only one’s imagination could duplicate
Best film and best theme, ever. I want this played at my funeral.
Me too. Not to make anyone sad, but to make them think of the grandeur I’d be heading toward. Hope in the Lord’s presence.
This song when it pans over the town is called Birth of a City in case anyone needs it :)
This kind of music is not listed to anymore,times have changed so much if you listen to the song and think back to the 60 70 I can remember every thing in the movie all of the once upon a time in the west.they were the best movies made then.
With the song i just see the end of the western...😢
Tears in my eyes
True beauty
Very beautiful woman. Very beautiful mature voice for this theme song.
Love this movie and the music makes it happen. Beautiful Utah.
Once upon a time.. I loved.
