'Good, Bad, Evil', 1966, dir. S. Leone
Wild West. Nineteenth century. And ' the great' the forefathers of today's Americans are again appearing in all their glory today. Charming, sincere, trembling ... When it comes to green paper. Cinema without censorship bills. It was like that. Honor. Truth be told. Immersion in yesterday's USA - to the viewer on the tray. The main roles are for prostitutes, the main roles are for dishonest lawyers, the main roles are for meatcutters, the main roles are for animals, the main roles are for horse thieves, bandits and so on, and so on. Righteous citizens? People's moral honor? Yes, yes! Gray faceless biomass. She's increasingly involved in extras. Characters are atrophied. Almost atrophied. Prokhindey on prokhindey here ' from sea to sea'. That's the laugh, that's the laugh.
So watch, watch ' their ' cinema, and think at leisure - from what trees do we contemplate today's apples in our century? Huh? More and more - ' moral freaks' they were in the family. Or am I wrong? What do you expect from the current smiles?
Series ': Dirty Black Bag The Dirty Black Bag'(2022) Sergio Leone is dipping us in the forgotten veil. To the cinematic parable of spaghetti-western, we again join. Tapes classics 'For a handful of dollars' (1964), 'A few dollars more' (1965), 'Good, Bad, Evil' (1966), ' Once Upon a Time in the Wild West' (1968) come to life with pages in memory. The types are the same. Same ones. Thieves, swindlers, scum... gentlemen of luck, in a word and, gentlemen too. Portupey harness at the belts, trunks in holsters, oily clothes unwashed for months or years, hats from heat, squirrels from snakes on feet ... Anything else? Horses, buying up landscape scorch with baobabs, cacti, thorns in bald spots, lack of rain for several years, drinking at the bar.
A small town at the center of the story. Once upon a time, life was boiling here - everyone was washed gold. But time is gone. The veins were impoverished. The miners flew like dust in the wind. One central street in this boardwalk, scorched by the sun’s disfavor of the oasis of grace of civilization, is deserted, deserted in hours of heat. She is the path for the next, she is the avenue for everyone and everyone. Kabak, saloon with girls for pleasure, the sheriff of the office - the holy of holies of mandatory availability, the rest is necessary, the rest is according to needs.
The director for eight episodes opened before us the spectacle of Dirty Black Bag & #39; and to satisfy the dramatic delights of this film - life in diversity gushes before the viewer. Law and order? Oh, yeah! And the sheriff has the floor... No place for stinking bastards on Earth? Oh, yeah! And the bounty hunter comes before us. Prostitutes are necessary, you know? Oh, yeah! And mom and girls for dollars and dance and dance. A'stealers' cattle, horses, more 'clean' weren't gypsies always illegally traded in these places? Oh, yeah! Let's outline them. And 'Go, dance the province'!
A distinctive feature of this movie? Yes, it is probably the same - ' dirty black bag' It is for the heads of the righteous hound. Got a good one. Axe cartilage! And a trophy for the saddle. Why? Comfortable. And no trouble... That's it 'knowhow'!
And here is a certain ' Chicatilo' wandering around... I don’t remember anything like that in Westerns.
Movies are like movies. Colorful, textured characters. They inspire trust. Acting skills are at the proper level. There's no place for boredom. A series of fifty minutes is easy to understand.
