Dimitri Tiomkin could transform us into a marvelous separate reality. It is a wonderful mood that he creates. The impetuous moral of that time seemed more righteous, where good values were accepted as norm. Compare that to the mood change of "The good, the bad and the ugly" where morals seemed to be challenged or rejected. "The ecstacy of gold" where murder was justified in the brutal battle to survive in an ugly world of greed. A journalist interviewed a KGB operative and told how Russia's long term goal was to infiltrate America's media forms. Psychological messaging was designed to sabotage America's image of itself. Decency and respect for values took a back seat to the negative aspects of a "Capitalistic" democracy. Greed became normative, and criminal behavior became heroic. Maybe the Russians helped finance "Rambo" which taught anti police and ideologies of revenge. A nation divided into chaos where the new enemy is not Communism, but Liberalism. Only a true patriot can see this wicked propaganda as it infects the "greatest" nation on earth. A nation which we believed was a beacon of mankind's highest moral standards.
Regia, sceneggiatura, attori, colonna sonora: leggendari.
One of the best westerns ever, the actors, the music and a very good song by Frankie Laine(not included), simply brilliant
