Butt Fucking Movie of the Week: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Starting this Wednesday, every week I will post a movie from my collection of movies I love and recommend them to you to watch. And so, I give you in my opinion the greatest western ever created: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

The last movie of the A Few Dollars trilogy starring the titular character, The Man With No Name, this one is one setting the three characters, The Good: The Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood), The Bad: Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef) and The Ugly: Tuco (Eli Wallach) loose in a realistic gritty and unforgiving western world. The main plot is that Angle Eyes as the main villain is on the search for a crate of stolen gold worth thousands with The Man With No Name and Tuco joining in after stumbling upon information leading to the treasure. Along the way, The Man With No Name and Tuco run into a battle between the Confederates and the Union in a senseless blood fight over a bridge, finding themselves in a Union prison, defending themselves from a group of gunman and finally the mexican standoff between the three over the gold.

As usual, Clint Eastwood as The Man With No Name is fucking cool as fucking ice. There is no character that can showcase an extraordinary display of manliness. Eli Wallach is usually the light comedy relief as Tuco and is really likable and memorable. He has an interesting character to tell and is continually explored as the movie moves. Lee Van Cleef is the standout villain, menacing and a full on bastard of a man.

The opening scene involving the interrogation between Angel Eyes and a former soldier, who has settled down as a farmer with a family about the gold is one of the best scenes in film history. Its no wonder Quentin Tarantino being a fan of Sergio Leone played homage to that scene in the opening of Inglourious Basterds. At the end of this video is the part The Man With No Name shoots down three bounty hunters in fucking style. A must watch.

This is what being a villain was about. It fits the definition of a villain. Look at movies today. Finding a really great and memorable villain is close to impossible. Being a villain is in the eyes. If I become a director and cast an actor for a villainous role. No evil stare or evil glint. No fucking role. Go eat out of the fucking toilet.

The one thing Sergio Leone is really good at is creating an atmosphere and setting a scene. Partly thanks to Ennio Morricone's fantastic score for the film. Seriously, no Ennio Morricone, and I don't think this film would be as great as it is. Morricone scores are fucking epic and make any western great. Leone can drag a certain scene for quite some time but that's because of the build up. The scene slowly builds up and explodes in the front of your face.

Sergio Leone transformed the Western genre. Go see the Magnificent Seven then see any Western flicks after The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. And of course, Leone made Eastwood.
