+Epsilon The music certainly helps. Music can elevate any scene, and give it an emotional impact. Try watching the best movie scenes in history without music, and a huge element of them is lost (almost like it loses its soul). But I would also say apart of it isn't just the camera spinning as a man runs in circles. It's also the context of the scene. The scene starts with a wide shot of rows upon rows of graves, it's both epic and disturbing. One of the subtext (and I guess subplot) running throughout the film, is the civil war that is going on in the background (that our characters don't want to be apart of). And the toll its taking on its soldiers, and the idea the these soldiers lives mean nothing. So the end of our journey -- this "race for Gold", is in a cemetery with all those dead soldiers. And Tuco and the audience only care about the gold. So when the camera starts spinning and it becomes dizzying, I feel like that perfectly works with the idea that we have tunnel vision for the Gold, and all the graves and dead people don't really mean anything. The setting with which this takes place literally becomes a blur, as the focus is purely on the gold. I mean, it's no coincidence that the director chose an "unknown" or "unmarked" grave as the spot where the gold was buried. There was symbolic reasons for having the gold buried in a grave of a soldier, that no one could identify. I mean, that's why Tuco is called "The Ugly". He's supposed to be the Ugly in all of us. Our greed, that will ignore and look past the horrors around us to satisfy it. The idea that an individuals "pursuit of happiness", overrides caring about anyone else. And the movie also doesn't pander to the audience. Because it doesn't wag the finger, or condemn the ugly. Tuco is actually a complex character, and you could argue that he is what he is, due to the circumstances forced on him by society (poverty etc.)
And Sergio Leone too! As well as Tonino delli Colli, the Photography Director. It was a big mistake not to prize this film in 1967 Oscars. I think all the critics and all the cinephiles think this is an excellent film and milestone in movie history.
I remember I went to this "amateur and experimental short-films festival" in Paris... one of the participants used this very same scene, but in this sort-off black-and-white and without the song... it was boring as hell !
This is the moment that I realized that tuco was the main character. This scene is an almost celebration of those outside of society’s code of good. It’s the most heroic song for an “unheroic” character
Yea getting older i noticed Tuco was more or less the protagonist because of how much it spent on his journey and when you see the deleted scenes they are with him
Absolutely, Damian! I believe that TGTBATU is about the Devil (Angel Eyes - The Bad) and God (Blondie - The Good) battling over the Soul of Man (Tuco - The Ugly). 😎
Man, the emotions at the end where you aren't sure if Blondie is gonna let Tuco live are intense. Throughout the movie he has wronged the "hero," yet for reasons hard to explain, we want him to win. We cheer when he finds the cemetery, and the movie wants us to we cheer when both he and Blondie shoot Angel Eyes. Watching him nearly choke to death is actually brutal, and the relief when Blondie comes back around is amazing; he is the "good," after all.
I like how Tuco crosses himself at the start when he realises he's fallen onto a gravestone but then immediately afterwards runs directly over dozens of graves without hesitation in his greed
Yeah, Gian Maria Volonte did a great job in the movies he played the bad guy in, but Eli Wallach hit a perfect pitch between sinister, deadly and comic.
This scene ....along with the music "The Ecstasy of Gold" really embodies how a man, who gives himself over to his greed, will mindlessly do things that he shouldn't do and/ or normally wouldn't do.
This scene goes from understanding the brutal world Tuco lives in that’s surrounded by so much conflict and death (the overwhelming amount of graves) to him slipping through death’s grip many a times (running through the graveyard) in desperate search of the thing that has kept him and his family alive. This isn’t just a scene of an outlaw looking for gold; it’s his life in its entirety. It reflects a man’s vulnerable, despicable, and primal instinct: his desire to live. If you think about it that way, the music isn’t overdramatized at all. It’s perfect.
I saw a video revisiting the site. Apparently it's not really a graveyard; all those "graves" were built for this outdoor set. -I think the circle is real, though.- Circle is overgrown, or more likely gone. ruclips.net/video/q2tKfBOv9Xs/видео.html

Right, so first, that's not a definition of good filmmaking. Second, they absolutely used plenty of clever effects here. For example, I (personally) doubt that they really fired a cannonball at y'man. And frankly, the supposition that if they didn't the film is worse for it is concerning. This is an exquisite scene. But not for its lack of cgi. This scene is exquisite because it is masterfully scored, and, as importantly, masterfully setup. If you showed the scene to someone who had never seen the film, they'd be confused, and remark on, "I guess the music is good?"
@@eloryosnak4100 I did show this to someone who had never seen the film. My sister was not confused & easily figured out what was going on. Her comment, "Yeah, I guess starting in the middle and working your way out in circles would be the most logical way to go about it." The timelessness of the scene isn't just the score. The anticipation, the speeding up of the background, the circular movement AND the score make this scene mesmerizing.
Anthony A. The movie is not the greatest movie of all time, but it is one of the greatest. As for the theme music, it is one of the greatest to have been created. Is the movie the greatest Western of all time ? The answer is yes. Sergio Leone was very lucky with his chief actors, as nobody could have beaten Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef and Eli Wallach, who were perfect for their roles. The movie turned Eastwood into a star. However, the performance by Eli Wallach was just brilliant, probably outshining that of Eastwood. Finally, the movie made history. It was made in 1966. Until then all Westerns had clean cut actors, who were clean, clean shaven and wore remarkably clean clothes. The truth was somewhat different, as back in those days houses did not have bathrooms, its inhabitants using portable tubs. Cowboys in those days would go for weeks and months without taking a bath. The reason why you had so many casualties in the US Civil War was inadequate medicine and poor higene, with many troops dying from infection. Well, Sergio Leone turned all that, creating a new, realistic image of people who lived in the West. The scruffy look appeared. This new image was subsequently copied by Hollywood directors.
I think it's not that surprising. Pirates and Cowboys are often beating their own path away from society, cities, and the Church right? Well, what better frame of reference point to start looking for how to tell that story than to start at Rome, or Italy, and work your way out from there until you reach Texas and California? By way of Paris and the Count of Monte Cristo eh? Gold buried in a graveyard sea of crosses. It really doesn't work to try to write the story any other way. Do you pick the gold? Or the cross? Both? Neither? Putting them next to each other gives the mind the most to think about, and you don't need to be prescriptivist at all. You just need to underline in clear bold strokes: here's your choices, man. Now which one are you going to make? I'm used to the hero picking the right way but you could have a very powerful movie with Blondie doing something different at the end. I think the most interesting question in the history of fanfiction is to ask "What If The Bad or The Ugly won the duel?" How does that look? Who is more interesting, Blondie or Tuco? That's an interesting question itself!
@ML8593wy You are mistaken. Neither western changed the other. It is clear that the spaghetti western is as different from the American western as vanilla ice cream is from chocolate ice cream. No one confuses one for the other.
Being an immense James Bond fan, my favorite songs are nearly all from those movies. Numero Uno probably being the theme (completely instrumental) from .... ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. Live and Let Die theme is way up there also. But yes, Ecstasy of Gold ranks very, very high.
I’ve always said you could watch this film without dialogue and know the mood of every scene because of Ennio Morricone’s score. It’s takes the form of a narrator. A character in itself. He was a master of his art. RIP
I believe that Tuco made this movie unique. Eli played the character brilliantly, he gave it so much... flavour, the way he fidgeted with his fingers before the showdown... Long live Tuco!
I saw this movie in 1967 and pay $ 4.00 dollars at the paramount theatre in miramar puerto rico when i was only 16 years old...never gets old...love it
+roger salsa I saw it for the first time in 1997 :D, It was showing on my local cinema as a classic film and I thought I'd go and see it, having already seen Fistfull and Few. I think people area actually missing something with this scene, because on the big screen it's so crazy and disorientating, like you're really there spinning around in the graveyard. It looses a little bit of the impact on the small screen - but that makes me appreciate the original vision all the more, it was designed for the big screen. It's still my favourite film of all time, due to that first cinema showing.
He’s close and he knows it. His lust for gold and the sheer hope leaves his body almost weightless, giddily scattering in the old graveyard, filled with ecstasy.
@@jcald47 Yeah, that’s well put dude. He’s gleeful but carefully, hesitantly so* and the manner in which he moves, from furtive to giddy, coupled with _that_ score is just so damn…poetic. I could happily watch this on a loop for a ridiculous amount of time. *Until he makes it to the centre, where he gloriously abandons himself completely
My father Who died 4 years ago loves this film, i am 42 and i remember, too young, watching this film with my brothers and father just wonderful film 👍👍👍💞
Similar to my grandpa. I remember he used to smile to this scene and said "That's one son of a bitch" XD. I still miss him and this movie just brought back all the memories.
@@17gcold 👍,for me too, the same,memories of my father and Tuco this is Tuco👍👍👍,don t forget of course the great Clint and Lee,the music,just a legend film, which should be seen once in a life i think. Sorry if i made mistakes lol
Man, talk about turning a scene which could have been boring following a guy running through a graveyard and making it one of the most memorable in movie history
This is something movies today are lacking. A musical score that drives the movie. Music is so bland and generic in modern movies. Ennio Morricone makes a man running through a cemetery the most epic scene ever. Can you imagine what movies like Rocky, Star Wars, or Conan the Barbarian would be like without their music?
This movie is from 1966?!?! 1966!!!! Nineteen Sixty Six !!! This is the proof that cinema is art. Special Effects don't matter - technology doesn't matter. Some people were born geniuses and seems that geniuses are rare...
And it took GENIUS ITALIANS! Leone and Morricone. These guys were pickled in the incredible art and music of their culture and both had unique visions that Hollywood couldn't compare with.
A couple of facts: Wallace didn't know about the dog at 1:26 . Leone decided to let the dog go without saying nothing to anyone, just to see Wallace reaction. If you watch his reaction you can tell the dog actually scare the shit out of him. Also: the cimitery was built for the movie by the spanish army (filming location is in Spain). You see my friends, in this world there are two kind of facts...
+4640jds I'm no historian. I'm Italian and proud that Leone and Morricone did such gems as the Dollars Trilogy, that's why I know so much about this movies. Your asshat attitude is totally out of context.
4640jds, don't be so quick to jump all over somebody because they spell a name wrong and state a fact that some others might already know. I've seen a few other people spell Wallach's name Wallace, too. It's a fairly common error because the names are so similar. And for your information, I DIDN'T know about the reason why the dog was there! So just chill out, okay?
@ 4640jds I still don't get exactly when and where I stepped over your touchy EGO, but apparently you still can't recover. I just stated a couple of facts (see my friend...) about this movie, didn't thought someone could catch fire.
Eli was so amazing here, I don't understand why he didn't end up a grand movie star like Clint. He sure had the talent, albeit for another type of character. The way he runs, arched back, waving hands, with a grin - like the greedy, ugly, quirky bandit codger he is. Not to mention the score that makes us feel like we are him, looking for the grave of Arch Stanton. Bless this movie and everyone who contributed to it
+Pillerparty Unfortunately he was really underrated, I agree. Maybe one of the most underrated actors ever. He was the character actor type instead of leading actor. The fact that he was never even nominated for an Oscar is a shame.
Yep. Just saw them past friday in st louis for the fist time since 1992 and i dont remember them opening with this movie clip then. I do remember the song though
I’m a huge Metallica fan…they somehow fused hard metal with a clean sound that turned their music into art. But, honestly, besides hearing the intro to Ride the Lightning live, I would want to see Metallica mostly for the Ecstacy of Gold opening that starts their concerts…
I can never get over just how at the end the graves are flying past in a blur with Tuco being the focus of the camera, with the music slowly building into a crescendo, and all of a sudden at the end, Tuco stops, the music stops, and the camera zooms in on the grave. It leaves me short of breath every time.
+blockmasterscott Could not agree more. The first time I watched this I was, well, a bit boozy and I will never forget the effect this scene had on me - my jaw was on the floor, I was so awed. It's incredible. The climactic shoot-out had the same effect. This will always be one of the best films I have ever had the privilege to see. God bless you Morricone.
Tuco running through the cemetery for me was the greatest scene in the movie! And the orchestra is absolutely phenomenal! The violin, the bells, the women's voice! Thrilling! What is left of that cemetery is still there in Spain! You can still make out what is left of from the movie!
This a MASTERPIECE - a gold standard of directing, cinematography and soundtrack. I use this in my English high school classes to teach symbolism, situational irony and theme, but to also introduce students to the above elements. Man's eternal search for wealth in a world where we all end up equal - how kick ass of a theme is that!!!!!!
I love this scene and how it puts the whole movie in perspective. The nation is caught in the throws of the American Civil War, hundreds of thousands dying at the hands of their own countrymen in a desperate struggle... and three men fight over a few bags of money.
Raguleader This movie's been considered a satire of the Western genre. While earlier Westerns focused on romanticism and heroic deeds, this one shows the dark side, that is, greed, war, and violence.
This scene was judged to be one of the 10 best sequences of world cinema of all time. It is said that Sergio Leone intertwined more than 40 cameras and made the actor run for more than 2 hours between filming and counter-filming. Furthermore: The triello sequence will then be destined to remain famous in the history of cinema: Sergio Leone knows how to enhance it with an ever new photography, with close-ups, with details with eye shots and with an ever faster editing that will set the school for the future great filmmakers. But perhaps nothing would have been this sequence without the extraordinary, exhilarating and solemn soundtrack signed by a great musician: Ennio Morricone. George Lucas himself has stated that he took inspiration from the typically Leonian close-ups during the filming of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, in particular, in the final duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Furthermore, this sequence is still studied at the Los Angeles University of Cinema, frame by frame, as an admirable example of montage. In addition to this, several scenes from the film were used for a study of the higher functions of the human brain published on March 12, 2004 in the prestigious journal Science.
Hasan x he ( or she ) would rather have a bone. It must have been thinking, ..what the bejesus are all these humans doing in my playground and crapper!!??
Fun fact: the director Sergio Leone let the dog run into the set, to surprise Eli Wallach. He didn’t want the scene to be TOO melodramatic, so he added that bit of unscripted detail. The jump of surprise Tuco gives is Eli’s actual reaction.
We’re talking about the same morons who wouldn’t give Star Wars a nomination because they put the credits at the end of the movie. I don’t think their thing is intelligence
Yeah he was sinister and comic at the same time, brilliant performance. And he is a good looking guy, but he justified the sobriquet of "the ugly" by always having his face in a ratlike leer without it ever seeming over the top or unnatural.
@@jeashillelal7805 .... ... HEY ,, you got me ... LIKE , LIKE ,LIKE , LIKE ... hows that ? ..... but really .... I LOVE THAT MOVIE , .... & LIKE again ...... cheers ..
I saw this move when I was young now I am an old man of 70 years but still the running of Ele with background music is legendary and still very attractive and beautiful to listen
I always love how calculating Blondy is. Letting Tuco search for the grave, knowing he would go for it like a man possessed. Then still having that Ace up his sleeve for when Angel Eyes turns up......
I love how the producers took plenty of time to set up and develop the characters. Blondie and Tuco don't even find out about the gold until almost an hour into the movie.
+Catzilla That's one thing they don't do in Hollywood movies anymore. It's just a clausterfuck of action scene after action scene filled with fucking CGI and humourless uncharismatic cunts. ;)
In my opinion Eli Wallach is the real star in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Eastwood and Van Cleef are very good in their roles but Wallach steals the show for sure.
the way he runs....its as a cat hurringly prowling for scraps of food...knowing its being chased by a bigger animal...a truly amazing scene when you look back on it
Sergio Leone & Ennio Morricone, two geniuses that made cinema history! This will forever be my favorite western movie of all times and one of the best movies ever made, period!
Way back inthe 1960's, when I first saw this movie , I hated Tuco. When I re-watched a couple of years ago, I realized what a great performance Eli Wallach gave.
Tuco is the most interesting character. He is the most human with a history and the capacity for good and evil. His exchange with his brother establishes his complex character.
Before every Metallica show, this is so great. Great movie and the "song". Best feeling to hear this, then you know Metallica is coming out on stage soon..
+MetallicaLiveHD WOW are you serious they play this before they come out?? awesome well I saw them 3 times in San Antonio Texas and every time before they came out they played La Bamba Im serious!!!
+Ricardo Velasco I've seen Metallica live 4 times and as ususal they always play this score first. But the best one for me hands down was the Ennio Morricone Intro followed by Blackened. I mean, wow!!.. what an entrance! :)
This was the first movie I ever saw in a theater. I was 5 years old and I was mesmerized. The dog running into the scene was not planed and Eli Wallach's reaction was real.
The other version says "In reality, that was improvised on the spot. Sergio Leone, who was afraid that the scene was going to slip into melodrama, released the dog without informing Eli Wallach first--thus, his look of surprise is quite genuine".
This is one of the movies you can watch again and again. Always a sign of greatness........ Great acting, great music and great filming! Clint Eastwood an amazing actor who doesn’t need to speak a lot! Love it! Best western!
Can only imagine what the first moviegoers were going through in 1966, watching this scene play out. They must've been on the edge of their seats, breathless, ready to pass out.
I love how these movies are a combination of so ideas and emotions. This scene starts with humor and the great Blondie moment where he shoots at Tuco, then it shifts to the graveyard. The music starts and you instantly realize the gold is close, then it pans up slowly (with the song also allowing for a moment of sadness) as it shows the unimaginable death of the Civil War - a big theme of the movie. You then get a couple Tuco moments and a larger shot of the graveyard - which becomes the focal point for a moment. Then, the focus shifts back to Tuco all while demonstrating the magnitude of the graveyard. The music picks up, making it an epic search for treasure, all while unique graves pop in and out frame (almost as reminders of where Tuco is and how many graves there are) and the massive number of graves is reaffirmed by how many he is checking as it becomes a blur. There are so many scenes like this in the movie and it is absolutely fantastic. It kind of reminds me of Lord of the Rings, and how many emotions are present in those movies.
I'll never forget watching this scene for the first time, so good it gave me goosebumps. Realised right there and then why Leone and this film are so revered. And just when I thought it had peaked...that stand-off. THAT MUSIC. God I love this film!
The best scene of the best movie ever. A movie of the US West, filmed in Spain, directed in Italian, and translated in French as an intermediary language through Eli Wallach from Sergio Leone to the American actors.
I saw this movie when I was 7 years old. Needless to say, it had a profound impact on me - profound. The uniqueness of the movie combined with masterful music has never left me. It is a cinema masterpiece!
Best scene of the world, best movie of all the time, best music. Rest in Peace maestro Morricone, rest in peace Sergio Leone, rest in peace tuco. 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Immortali 🇮🇹
For 49 years without a serious threat MY FAVORITE ALL TIME movie, IJust love finding someone who has never seen it, then try to persuade them to watch with me. A masterpiece that should have swept the Oscars with Eli Wallach as Best Actor
Some of the most moving music I have ever heard. It moved me back in the early 70s when my dad took me and my brotehrs to see it and it moves me today.
Sergio knew what he was doing . The orchestra Ennio Morrricon. The extremely talented Eli Walich (Tuco). The movie is over the top. Spaghetti Westerns changed movies. They were very low budget movies not made in America. And America thought they knew how to make a western movie. Wake up call!! These movies actually put Clint on the map along with Sergio and Morricon Eli Walich . Clint after the huge success was overwhelmed by these Spaghetti Westerns. Which at the time he did not like. But the low budget movies of Sergio knew how to make a western movie. The cimetography was superb. And the list goes on and on. Bravo!!
This is one of those scenes in which you just turn off your analytical mind and just feel the epicness of the movie. It's like the movie is telling you "Relax, we're getting to the end. Just sit there, feel, think about all we've been through to get here, and then we'll go back to the story".
These are what you call fine actors, Eli Wallace rip, Eastwood, you can't make movies like this with epic music, ennio Morricone one if the best music directors ever to live period!
This is the best western ever made! Thank you Clint, Eli and Lee. Many thanks to Sergio Leone. Greatest thanks to M°Ennio Morricone. Molto grazie! R.I.P. Ennio
I can't believe this scene is 4 minutes of a man running in circles but it's somehow the most epic scene I've ever watched

Underrated comment 🤌🏽
Tuco a wonderful performance brilliant fabulous actor
I think you mean the chad squidward face being painted. Mona Lisa is beneath this in my mind.
True. There are no words that could aptly describe The Good The Bad and The Ugly. It is just too good.
That is a truly great analogy!

bravo vince

Rest in peace all the actors from the trilogy, and all the dads here.
You’re not alone bro
He’s always there by your side you just can’t see him
Without the music it was a great movie. However, with the music, it became the greatest Western of all time. RIP, Senor Morricone
Definitely inspired by the end of the last movement of Shostakovich's 11th symphony. Have listen!
Signor Morricone. He was Italian.
great comment, you understand cinema (and music).
Fully agree
Onde a magia da imagem e da música inundam nossos olhos de beleza.
This scene goes from understanding the brutal world Tuco lives in that’s surrounded by so much conflict and death (the overwhelming amount of graves) to him slipping through death’s grip many a times (running through the graveyard) in desperate search of the thing that has kept him and his family alive. This isn’t just a scene of an outlaw looking for gold; it’s his life in its entirety. It reflects a man’s vulnerable, despicable, and primal instinct: his desire to live. If you think about it that way, the music isn’t overdramatized at all. It’s perfect.
This comment just make the scene even more masterpiece than it already is

Right, so first, that's not a definition of good filmmaking.
Second, they absolutely used plenty of clever effects here. For example, I (personally) doubt that they really fired a cannonball at y'man.
And frankly, the supposition that if they didn't the film is worse for it is concerning.
This is an exquisite scene. But not for its lack of cgi.
This scene is exquisite because it is masterfully scored, and, as importantly, masterfully setup.
If you showed the scene to someone who had never seen the film, they'd be confused, and remark on, "I guess the music is good?"
True history in the making
Этот фильм вечный. 🤗
@@eloryosnak4100 I did show this to someone who had never seen the film. My sister was not confused & easily figured out what was going on. Her comment, "Yeah, I guess starting in the middle and working your way out in circles would be the most logical way to go about it." The timelessness of the scene isn't just the score. The anticipation, the speeding up of the background, the circular movement AND the score make this scene mesmerizing.
Greatest movie of all time?
Maybe.
Greatest movie music of all time?
Probably.
Greatest western of all time?
Absofuknlootly.
"Once Upon a Time in the West" begs to differ.
Anthony A.
The movie is not the greatest movie of all time, but it is one of the greatest. As for the theme music, it is one of the greatest to have been created. Is the movie the greatest Western of all time ? The answer is yes. Sergio Leone was very lucky with his chief actors, as nobody could have beaten Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef and Eli Wallach, who were perfect for their roles. The movie turned Eastwood into a star. However, the performance by Eli Wallach was just brilliant, probably outshining that of Eastwood. Finally, the movie made history. It was made in 1966. Until then all Westerns had clean cut actors, who were clean, clean shaven and wore remarkably clean clothes. The truth was somewhat different, as back in those days houses did not have bathrooms, its inhabitants using portable tubs. Cowboys in those days would go for weeks and months without taking a bath. The reason why you had so many casualties in the US Civil War was inadequate medicine and poor higene, with many troops dying from infection. Well, Sergio Leone turned all that, creating a new, realistic image of people who lived in the West. The scruffy look appeared. This new image was subsequently copied by Hollywood directors.
@@manray0703 The good the bad and the ugly is the greatest movie of all time, Once upon a Time in the West is the best western ever.
Oh yeah!?.. Yeah! OH YEAH?.. Yeah..OOOOH!!
Randy White it makes sense, I’m not saying it’s right or wrong but it makes sense
Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef..perfect chemistry ..The Magnificent Five!
So sad there is no hero like them ... Today nov 2 .. 2019
Ennio being 50% of the overall magnificence.
Sublime
Absolutely correct,I've tried to think who else could have starred this movie.......nobody.
I would add Edda Dell'Orso voice
Italians showed America how to make unforgettable westerns, strange but true.even music in movies unforgettable. 🤔🏴
America has unforgettable westerns. However, "spaghetti" westerns have great music.
I think it's not that surprising. Pirates and Cowboys are often beating their own path away from society, cities, and the Church right?
Well, what better frame of reference point to start looking for how to tell that story than to start at Rome, or Italy, and work your way out from there until you reach Texas and California?
By way of Paris and the Count of Monte Cristo eh?
Gold buried in a graveyard sea of crosses.
It really doesn't work to try to write the story any other way.
Do you pick the gold? Or the cross? Both? Neither?
Putting them next to each other gives the mind the most to think about, and you don't need to be prescriptivist at all.
You just need to underline in clear bold strokes: here's your choices, man. Now which one are you going to make?
I'm used to the hero picking the right way but you could have a very powerful movie with Blondie doing something different at the end.
I think the most interesting question in the history of fanfiction is to ask "What If The Bad or The Ugly won the duel?" How does that look?
Who is more interesting, Blondie or Tuco?
That's an interesting question itself!
@ML8593wy You are mistaken. Neither western changed the other. It is clear that the spaghetti western is as different from the American western as vanilla ice cream is from chocolate ice cream. No one confuses one for the other.
Reason for Scottish flag?
If you want to get technical Japan showed Italy how to make unforgettable westerns

Or maybe the last of the mohicans by Trevor Jones
One of my favorite songs from this trilogy.
Being an immense James Bond fan, my favorite songs are nearly all from those movies. Numero Uno probably being the theme (completely instrumental) from .... ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. Live and Let Die theme is way up there also. But yes, Ecstasy of Gold ranks very, very high.

I’ve always said you could watch this film without dialogue and know the mood of every scene because of Ennio Morricone’s score. It’s takes the form of a narrator. A character in itself. He was a master of his art. RIP
morricone said his movies were basically silent films,,,,with a little dialogue
What was so good was that Leonne let Morricones score breathe
I've never thought of it that way before, but you are absolutely correct.
Ennio Morricone is a musical genious !
Aye. I'm finding I like most every old western song from Morricone.
Ferruccio Guicciardi tuco was genius
yet it took him more than 500 soundtracks for him to win an oscar, so unfair. if i was jews he would have a collection of oscars

No, THOSE are the great scene in cinema history.
Let's be honest, without Tuco and Morricone, it would still have been a great movie.
But with them, it's a piece of History.
Ho, ho.....master piece!
I believe that Tuco made this movie unique. Eli played the character brilliantly, he gave it so much... flavour, the way he fidgeted with his fingers before the showdown... Long live Tuco!
in a mess, Eli, Lee, Clint, Ennio, Sergio of course : try to withdraw just one !? You cant !

+roger salsa u are so lucky
+yes i was !
+roger salsa fantastic
+roger salsa I saw it for the first time in 1997 :D, It was showing on my local cinema as a classic film and I thought I'd go and see it, having already seen Fistfull and Few. I think people area actually missing something with this scene, because on the big screen it's so crazy and disorientating, like you're really there spinning around in the graveyard. It looses a little bit of the impact on the small screen - but that makes me appreciate the original vision all the more, it was designed for the big screen.
It's still my favourite film of all time, due to that first cinema showing.
+roger salsa Im 16, i saw this movie in 2015 for the first time and i cant explain all the feelings that produced to me C:
PD: Sry 4 my english :D
4 Minutes of perfection. The music, the body mimic, the movement of the camera. Hypnotic.
Well you have to understand the plot theres thousands and thousands of graves ,, in the end the the right grave had no name on it .
The way Tuco runs is so oddly elegant. He’s almost dancing through the graves.
Please tell me it’s not just me. 😐
he's a child running down on Christmas morning to find his presents. same vibe.
He’s close and he knows it. His lust for gold and the sheer hope leaves his body almost weightless, giddily scattering in the old graveyard, filled with ecstasy.
Totally. He’s so excited to be there he wants to sprint but knows he has to be cautious or he’ll miss the grave.
@@jcald47 Yeah, that’s well put dude. He’s gleeful but carefully, hesitantly so* and the manner in which he moves, from furtive to giddy, coupled with _that_ score is just so damn…poetic. I could happily watch this on a loop for a ridiculous amount of time.
*Until he makes it to the centre, where he gloriously abandons himself completely
I love you
My grandpa loves this movie. Every time I miss him I watch this scene, he always has a big smile on his face when the song comes on.

listening song misc
Man, talk about turning a scene which could have been boring following a guy running through a graveyard and making it one of the most memorable in movie history
and all the work that went into it, they built that cemetery for the movie. Amazing dedication to a vision
This is something movies today are lacking. A musical score that drives the movie. Music is so bland and generic in modern movies. Ennio Morricone makes a man running through a cemetery the most epic scene ever. Can you imagine what movies like Rocky, Star Wars, or Conan the Barbarian would be like without their music?
+Chas Gregg Hans Zimmer has some fantastic movie scores.

+Chas Gregg and I hate to sound cliché but I also couldn't imagine Titanic without that spectacular score from James Horner :)
Let’s be honest guys. Ennio Morricone is 60% of the reason this film is so great!
@@AnthonyRyan_96 and Eli Wallach's performance really made this movie outstanding.
Sergio Leone is a heck of a director. The movie is great, the music makes it Epic.
This movie is from 1966?!?! 1966!!!! Nineteen Sixty Six !!! This is the proof that cinema is art. Special Effects don't matter - technology doesn't matter. Some people were born geniuses and seems that geniuses are rare...
Leone did cinematic effects with the "Dollars Trilogy" back in the 60's that were way before their time. Did Hollywood ever acknowledge such? Hell no.
Because he was an Italian filmmaker, filming westerns in Spain. Hollywood was just jealous.
I mean... The Godfather came out just 6 years later...
And it took GENIUS ITALIANS! Leone and Morricone. These guys were pickled in the incredible art and music of their culture and both had unique visions that Hollywood couldn't compare with.
Pure Art!
A couple of facts: Wallace didn't know about the dog at 1:26 . Leone decided to let the dog go without saying nothing to anyone, just to see Wallace reaction. If you watch his reaction you can tell the dog actually scare the shit out of him. Also: the cimitery was built for the movie by the spanish army (filming location is in Spain).
You see my friends, in this world there are two kind of facts...
4640jds
Dude, calm down.
+4640jds I'm no historian. I'm Italian and proud that Leone and Morricone did such gems as the Dollars Trilogy, that's why I know so much about this movies. Your asshat attitude is totally out of context.
oh stfu
4640jds, don't be so quick to jump all over somebody because they spell a name wrong and state a fact that some others might already know. I've seen a few other people spell Wallach's name Wallace, too. It's a fairly common error because the names are so similar. And for your information, I DIDN'T know about the reason why the dog was there! So just chill out, okay?
@ 4640jds I still don't get exactly when and where I stepped over your touchy EGO, but apparently you still can't recover. I just stated a couple of facts (see my friend...) about this movie, didn't thought someone could catch fire.
Eli was so amazing here, I don't understand why he didn't end up a grand movie star like Clint. He sure had the talent, albeit for another type of character.
The way he runs, arched back, waving hands, with a grin - like the greedy, ugly, quirky bandit codger he is. Not to mention the score that makes us feel like we are him, looking for the grave of Arch Stanton. Bless this movie and everyone who contributed to it
+Pillerparty Unfortunately he was really underrated, I agree. Maybe one of the most underrated actors ever. He was the character actor type instead of leading actor. The fact that he was never even nominated for an Oscar is a shame.
Armando Gallegos
I agree, he was character actor type. But one of the best character actors, in my opinion.
It's a shame leader actors have to be a little boring.
Armando Gallegos LOL yeah!

This song will give you chills when it comes on at a Metallica concert.
I’m seeing them for the first time on Friday and I can’t wait for this especially!
Yeah this and then Enter Sandman
Yep. Just saw them past friday in st louis for the fist time since 1992 and i dont remember them opening with this movie clip then. I do remember the song though
They did play the clip on the screens, the last show I went to they didn’t, but that was in 2019
I’m a huge Metallica fan…they somehow fused hard metal with a clean sound that turned their music into art.
But, honestly, besides hearing the intro to Ride the Lightning live, I would want to see Metallica mostly for the Ecstacy of Gold opening that starts their concerts…
I can never get over just how at the end the graves are flying past in a blur with Tuco being the focus of the camera, with the music slowly building into a crescendo, and all of a sudden at the end, Tuco stops, the music stops, and the camera zooms in on the grave. It leaves me short of breath every time.
+blockmasterscott Same. Wallach's moment.
+blockmasterscott It's a masterpiece.
👍👍!
You are correct. When I watch this movie I stop after this scene. Gives me the shivers. Awesome!
+blockmasterscott Could not agree more. The first time I watched this I was, well, a bit boozy and I will never forget the effect this scene had on me - my jaw was on the floor, I was so awed. It's incredible. The climactic shoot-out had the same effect. This will always be one of the best films I have ever had the privilege to see. God bless you Morricone.
Tuco running through the cemetery for me was the greatest scene in the movie! And the orchestra is absolutely phenomenal! The violin, the bells, the women's voice! Thrilling! What is left of that cemetery is still there in Spain! You can still make out what is left of from the movie!

I love this scene and how it puts the whole movie in perspective. The nation is caught in the throws of the American Civil War, hundreds of thousands dying at the hands of their own countrymen in a desperate struggle... and three men fight over a few bags of money.
Raguleader This movie's been considered a satire of the Western genre. While earlier Westerns focused on romanticism and heroic deeds, this one shows the dark side, that is, greed, war, and violence.
Good old capitalism at its best
I just read one Wikipedia it was considered a satire, although the attitude and mood is the opposite of a 50s Western.
200 000 in gold !
In 1966, $200,000 for that day would be at least $600,000 in 2017 by todays purchasing value in the dollar.
This scene was judged to be one of the 10 best sequences of world cinema of all time. It is said that Sergio Leone intertwined more than 40 cameras and made the actor run for more than 2 hours between filming and counter-filming. Furthermore: The triello sequence will then be destined to remain famous in the history of cinema: Sergio Leone knows how to enhance it with an ever new photography, with close-ups, with details with eye shots and with an ever faster editing that will set the school for the future great filmmakers. But perhaps nothing would have been this sequence without the extraordinary, exhilarating and solemn soundtrack signed by a great musician: Ennio Morricone. George Lucas himself has stated that he took inspiration from the typically Leonian close-ups during the filming of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, in particular, in the final duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Furthermore, this sequence is still studied at the Los Angeles University of Cinema, frame by frame, as an admirable example of montage. In addition to this, several scenes from the film were used for a study of the higher functions of the human brain published on March 12, 2004 in the prestigious journal Science.

Fun fact: the director Sergio Leone let the dog run into the set, to surprise Eli Wallach. He didn’t want the scene to be TOO melodramatic, so he added that bit of unscripted detail. The jump of surprise Tuco gives is Eli’s actual reaction.

Eli Wallace's Tuco was unforgettable.
Yeah he was sinister and comic at the same time, brilliant performance. And he is a good looking guy, but he justified the sobriquet of "the ugly" by always having his face in a ratlike leer without it ever seeming over the top or unnatural.

Can only imagine what the first moviegoers were going through in 1966, watching this scene play out. They must've been on the edge of their seats, breathless, ready to pass out.
I saw it in 1966 and when Tuco finally spots the grave I was limp and nearly breathless in my seat.

And, the ladies humming in this Melody is Spectacular, as well!!
Lady voice Is from Edda Dell' Orso 🎯 sublime 👏still alive too 👍
I love how these movies are a combination of so ideas and emotions. This scene starts with humor and the great Blondie moment where he shoots at Tuco, then it shifts to the graveyard. The music starts and you instantly realize the gold is close, then it pans up slowly (with the song also allowing for a moment of sadness) as it shows the unimaginable death of the Civil War - a big theme of the movie. You then get a couple Tuco moments and a larger shot of the graveyard - which becomes the focal point for a moment. Then, the focus shifts back to Tuco all while demonstrating the magnitude of the graveyard. The music picks up, making it an epic search for treasure, all while unique graves pop in and out frame (almost as reminders of where Tuco is and how many graves there are) and the massive number of graves is reaffirmed by how many he is checking as it becomes a blur.
There are so many scenes like this in the movie and it is absolutely fantastic. It kind of reminds me of Lord of the Rings, and how many emotions are present in those movies.
I'll never forget watching this scene for the first time, so good it gave me goosebumps. Realised right there and then why Leone and this film are so revered.
And just when I thought it had peaked...that stand-off. THAT MUSIC. God I love this film!
Completely agreed.
The best scene of the best movie ever. A movie of the US West, filmed in Spain, directed in Italian, and translated in French as an intermediary language through Eli Wallach from Sergio Leone to the American actors.
I saw this movie when I was 7 years old. Needless to say, it had a profound impact on me - profound. The uniqueness of the movie combined with masterful music has never left me. It is a cinema masterpiece!
R.I.P our good man Tuco!
One of the highlight performances of this film.
Greatest scene in movie history. Full fucking stop.
Eli Wallach - a giant of an actor so much underrated. Amazing in this movie.
He steals the whole movie.
I was just a kid when I saw this film and this scene still gives me the chills. Tuco is the baddest outcast ever. Go TUCO GO!!!!!!
Eli Wallach is a legend i love the way he runs
Anytime something gives a like, I'll come back and watch this masterpiece!!
the italians didnt just make the best western films, but also the best western music. all the 3 films have so many great songs

For 49 years without a serious threat MY FAVORITE ALL TIME movie, IJust love finding someone who has never seen it, then try to persuade them to watch with me. A masterpiece that should have swept the Oscars with Eli Wallach as Best Actor
Damn James M You Are HandSome!! Hey Wait a Minute That's ME!
Some of the most moving music I have ever heard. It moved me back in the early 70s when my dad took me and my brotehrs to see it and it moves me today.
Too right.
Sergio knew what he was doing . The orchestra Ennio Morrricon. The extremely talented Eli Walich (Tuco). The movie is over the top. Spaghetti Westerns changed movies. They were very low budget movies not made in America. And America thought they knew how to make a western movie. Wake up call!! These movies actually put Clint on the map along with Sergio and Morricon Eli Walich . Clint after the huge success was overwhelmed by these Spaghetti Westerns. Which at the time he did not like. But the low budget movies of Sergio knew how to make a western movie. The cimetography was superb. And the list goes on and on. Bravo!!
In the memory of arch Stanton who died 3 February. 1862 thank you for this music .rip
Undoubtedly, Eli Wallach is the icing on the cake in this film.
Simply spectacular performance!

This is one of those scenes in which you just turn off your analytical mind and just feel the epicness of the movie. It's like the movie is telling you "Relax, we're getting to the end. Just sit there, feel, think about all we've been through to get here, and then we'll go back to the story".
One of THE greatest sequences in film history. One of THE greatest pieces of music ever written for the screen. Masterful.
I literally cannot stop having goosebumps watching this. I've watched it like 5 times in a row and it gets me everytime.
Spot on
Hey deadroses... watch it 10 times ... The goosebumps get bigger ,.......yeee haaa ....
These are what you call fine actors, Eli Wallace rip, Eastwood, you can't make movies like this with epic music, ennio Morricone one if the best music directors ever to live period!
This is a movie that will never be topped in its cinematics and story.
This is the best western ever made! Thank you Clint, Eli and Lee. Many thanks to Sergio Leone. Greatest thanks to M°Ennio Morricone. Molto grazie! R.I.P. Ennio
This is what many modern day films lack. All you need is a good script and storyline. CGI doesn't matter at the end of the day.
Legendary fragment! I wish you all the best, from Russia. For world peace!
so beautiful movie - so beautiful music - so amazing acting in every aspect - this movie is simply a reminder of what a masterpiece is about - :)
