Sergio Leone | fastest gun in the West

In the 1950's, the influence and appeal of the American West, created by managers as the principle the end of John Ford and Howard Hawks, the scope for the Far East and the film centers throughout Europe. Ford, the director of such classics as The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Searchers, heavily influenced by Japanese writer Akira Kurosawa, who in 1961 photos, Yojimbo, it was the blueprint for Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western to break a few dollars. With Citizen Kane, Seven Samurai by Kurosawa whole world on fire with its revolutionary blend film, performance and results of a practice Leone would be the perfect film to happiness in his latest films.

For years, Western is a genre that is distinctly American. Expressed our ideals, beliefs, and identified a code of honor that passed the law, life and society. Together, these features a bridge between cultures American cinema, Japanese and Italian. Attention stories of moral development had much to do with the size of the U.S. border open as they did with the consequences of personal action. Perhaps more clearly seen through the eyes of a stranger, Leona redefine the legacy of the great American West.

Fortunately, the Leone films, Indians did not kill John Wayne to Gene Autry and not to sing songs around the fire. There was no "cake with the heart." In fact, there were few women any kind. Brothels whores villages burned and rarely found outside the room. In contrast men and bandits roamed the streets, chasing each other like animals in the wild, armed with Remington and Colt Magnum. They were shaved and the impure, very drunk and stupid intelligently. There were no heroes, villains who only saved the innocent. The West is a place where the good, the bad and the ugly all the killing, unlike American westerns of the time.

For the sake of future generations the final confrontation of the good, the bad and the ugly, and the opening scene of Once Upon a Time in the West should be engraved on stone tablets, because they are made in a way that can only be described as divine. The Cowboys, with their hats drawn low over his forehead fierce, staring eyes with a diamond wafer is fixed and motionless as raincoats full-length flagellum desert winds. These are the iconic poses, making mere mortals Leone giants standing as tall as one of the gods on Mount Olympus.

Few artists ever achieve such extraordinary success together as Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone made his films. Leone Morricone was the yin yang, each making emphasis on the masterpiece of others with the texture, style and grace that has yet not been duplicated. long cuts Leone patients face, foot, or a look, along natural sounds and textures Morricone, student tension to unbearable levels, the public eagerly awaits the action to occur. Few filmmakers dominated the establishment and Leone, which remains one of their most cherished techniques as a master filmmaker. Besides Leone, Stanley Kubrick is the only director who can move to say so little. In 42 hours, five minutes is play Once Upon a Time in the West, there are only about thirty pages of dialogue. The emphasis here is movement, tension, and Finally, the action. Scenes can breathe and grow as if going for the first time, a cornerstone of cinema period, but lost in all of the few filmmakers today. Leone likely to ignite spontaneously screen action today / adventure film.

However, Leona lit an eternal flame at a time that claimed the life has no value. Creating a genre that has generated more than 200 films of a few individuals can claim. Leone is one of these people. Always had a level of intrigue in the Italian cinema. Fellini was the first master of the craft, creating movies with pieces disproportionate importance, but ultimately instance, participation and exciting. Leone, the heir to the king, has created a legacy of strong films with simple themes: man against man against man, and can get the fastest wins. Nothing more, nothing less.

In 1964, before the earth shook Zeppelin, Leona entered the world of The Man With No Name and in the coming years, the director, Leone and star Clint Eastwood, who became international film star with the dollars trilogy.

Eastwood, Charlton Heston following as one of the most successful men leading film beyond the next thirty years of riding high in the saddle, gun sling and push your way through building iconic status of the Old West as a relic of a bygone era. In 1992, he directed a film that would win the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director. The film is called Unforgiven. In the two-hour movie, Eastwood has managed to deconstruct the myth of the West, who spent the whole race your building finally collapsed under a crescendo of bullets ripping, blood and death.

Few endings as satisfying as a man after nearly three double three-hour tour of the West. If the moving images capture the most indelible theme in film history will be. It's hard to tell what the platoon Leone's best film. Each subsequent film growth, size and scale, and the result was a more complete, more mature film than its predecessor. Once Upon a Time in the West was both a tribute to this as it was to the west, a fusion of all the major archetypes of the West and a keen sense of the Old West die. The Good, the bad and the ugly remains of the western end of the majority who saw the film Once Upon a Time in America is the most ambitious project ever attempted. One thing is clear: Sergio Leone belongs to the pantheon of legends of cinema and the Mount Rushmore of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
