Review of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) by Tamsin P — 09 Mar 2016
One of the most beautifully crafted movies of all time. The cinematography, the comedy, Carlo Simi's costume designs and Ennio Morricone's passionate music are all pitch perfect. The story- for those of you don't know- centres around a bandit named Tuco, who's running a scam with the Man with No Name (whom he names "Blondie"), and becomes bent on revenge after "Blondie" breaks off the deal.
But when he finds out about gold buried somewhere and only gets half the information, he and Blondie are forced to work together to find it, while getting a ruthless assassin out of the competition. It's this amazing, desperate, darkly comic tale of gold, greed and violent bromance.
Eli Wallach gives a powerhouse of a lead performance as the desperate bandit. He's funny, cool, intimidating, and sympathetic. He goes from deadly to adorable without missing a beat. He's the reason to watch the movie.
