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!
Totally agree.... And the haunting harmonica in the soundtrack... Mated with the character of Bronson".... Critics said would never work.....?. Yeah right.... I grew up in Australia and hands down ...... What are the best westerns I ever experienced
I discovered this movie by accident. Back in the 70's I was a bartender, and one night I got home at 4am and this film was on TV. I was half asleep right until the moment Henry Fonda blows away the kid. From that second on I was mesmerized by this film, particularly this song by Ennio Morricone, "Jill's Theme," perhaps the most beautiful love theme ever written.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The use of silence and facial expressions were impeccable! One of the three best westerns ever made! Almost perfection! Sergio and Ennio was the best combo ever in film history…no others were close! The long landing wideouts with the music telling the story without any dialogue were so beautiful, matched and surpassed by the ever beautiful CC!
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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
That amazing camera crane shot from the window of the train station and then up and over the roof to the town with Ennio Morriconne’s amazing music swelling in time to the elevation of the shot is pure cinema magic!
@@barbarakempf761 P.S. Find me even ONE current actress more beautiful than Claudia Cardinale. Kate Winslett? Emma Watson? Scarlett Johanssen? Anne Hathaway? Emma Stone?? There isn't one!!!
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.
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 and "The Exctasy of Gold" from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" two of the most brilliant musical/directing achievements in cinema history, both from Leone and Morricone. LOVE. PEACE. God Bless
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.
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
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.
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
Such a great movie, score, camera work, acting, script as you will never see in a movie again. Some things to really pay attention to in this slice of the movie. Notice the crane shot when Jill enters the station with the swelling of the score into a crescendo showing the optimism of a growing town, the frontier becoming civiilized. I can't recall a director who actually directs extras so well. You have the crane shot of the town and people actually look busy doing something. The unloading of the train and the load master cheerfully getting the workers to pickup the pace, perfect. I know from experience! And the scene of Sam maniacally racing his coach through the railroad workers, again men look as though they are building a railroad, with an air of bemusement at the antics of Sam and his coach. This is really really important because Leone is building an immersive world for the viewer to fall into before the movie really gets rolling. The viewer starts to care about the characters early on. It's key to making this a great movie, even without the endless dialogue which ruins so many movies.
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.)
You do not need words to describe her feelings of solitude and hope on a new life at the wild frontier. Morricone 's music speaks for her. EPIC !!!! Greetings from Brasil
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.
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.
Without a doubt, this film is by far the best western ever made. And the music……..l just cannot get enough of it, to say; sublime, totally misuses the word.
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.
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 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
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!
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....
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 singer in this song doesn't get mentioned enough....her vocals are the heart of this masterful mix of talent that is this scene....her name is Edda Dell'Orso.... also have a look at the energy and movement of all the wagons, horses, people , dust, wind...... its all extraordinary
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.
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..
The most effective n expressive soundtrack of Spaghetti Western.Ennio Morrison st his best.Claudia Cardinal looks stunning n beautiful.True Italian Diva.
Absolutely excellent you’ll never listen to or see such a brilliant movie again from the past.
No doubt!!
Morticone's birthday today 11-10-1928. Thanks for the gorgeous scores
Has always been a brilliant film!!

Women, Music, and amazing Movies back then...what happened
The movie as we used to know is died. I can't even call movies nowadays as cinema.
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.?

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.

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.

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
jill's theme is imo the most beautiful piece of music ever written
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!

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
I hope Mr. Morricone heard this song on the way to the Gates of Heaven.
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.
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.
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.
That amazing camera crane shot from the window of the train station and then up and over the roof to the town with Ennio Morriconne’s amazing music swelling in time to the elevation of the shot is pure cinema magic!
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.
Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone. It doesn't get better than this. Gives me chills.
And the divine Ms Cardinale.
rest in peace
Amen
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.
Eine der wunderschönsten Melodieen die es auf der Welt gibt
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...
