Western Legend

Are you looking for a good western to watch? Do you even like western movies? Maybe you haven't seen a good one. From the director who brought you A Fist Full of Dollars, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and Duck You Sucker comes probably the best (if not most immulated) western movie of all time.

Once Upon a Time in the West brings you great screen shots, an amazing soundtrack, and great performances (Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson). If you have seen the Kill Bill movies (Tarantino) then you can see where it gets its' influences. You really can't tell that you are watching a 2.5 hour long movie.

Sergio Leone is an amazing director who does special films. The entire opening scene is amazing. The quiet way the actors go about their business. Then their lives are interupted by the very thing they are waiting for. A train bursts onto the scene in all its' loud, locamotive glory. It is such a fantastic shot under the train as it chugs over the camera.


Some people might want more action in their films. I am one of those who prefers great shots, and a ton of build up. (That doesn't mean I am a huge Stanley Kubrick fan. Barry Lyndon SUCKED!) The clip above is only a part of the opening scene. Just rent this movie and watch it if you haven't already. Enjoy!
