Review


The world is not black and white
Ok- first, as mentioned in another review, the geographic/historical errors in this film are GLARING. You’ve got men carrying revolvers that look like old style cap-and-ball pistols, but they’re loading them with metallic cartridges- historically about five years early. Eastwood carries a rifle that hasn’t been invented yet, Tuco assembles a "superpistol" out of a Colt, a Remington, and a Smith and Wesson- impossible. And there was nothing of merit taking place between the North and South during the Civil War in the Southwest. Now, that aside, I must say that this is the Greatest western ever. I first saw this film when I was about ten. I’d never sat through an entire Western befor, even though my Dad watched them constantly. Since then, I’ve been through film school, watched hundreds of Westerns, learned to appreciate them- but NOTHING matches up to this. The Searchers, Stagecoach, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, The Gunfighter, High Noon, Shane- all great films, but saddled with the standard American Western morality- the good guy never takes liberties with the eastern schoolmarm, the bad guy wears a black hat, etc. Coming from Italy, TG,TB &TU isn’t bound by these conventions. Blondie’s the "good guy"- but he’s also a bounty hunter. He makes a living in a highly immoral way, but is obviously the "good"- not because we’re told, but from small acts- giving the dying soldier a cigar, making sure the Captain knows to hold on till he hears the bridge blow, the genuine regret he feel for having to let Shorty die. And while Angel Eyes may be the Bad, we at least know he has prinicpals- when he’s hired for a job, he always sees the job through. And Tuco may be more immoral than the other two, but he’s so savvy and his role so humorous that one can’t bring oneself to look upon him disfavorably. In other words, historical inaccuracies aside, TG, TB, & TU maybe one of the most accurate portrayals of the West ever put on film- there are no clear-cut lines of conduct, no black and white, or even grey, but just a swirled palette of various facets of the human condition.
