Arrived as they go away...
suddenly and out of nowhere, a stranger with a secret ...
"Once upon a time in the west"
"Once upon a time in the Wild West ..."
is like the good stories began
Spain, Almeria The landscape, land of cinema.
here occurred most European Westerns
suddenly the new heroes of the west are European and Italian and have little
to do with the classic "Cowboy"
Rome, capital of Italy cinematografica
surroundings is located Cinecittà
the largest studies of europe, very close the Via Appia Antica.
now
monumental films are in decline
are increasingly predictable and only violent blockbusters
are possible with the help of Hollywood
a mid 50 appears in Germany
new medium: Television
but almost no one in Italy
afford this device
in all rural areas
is still going to the movies
however no longer blockbusters compensated and budgets are
too high.
Cleopatra and other epic stories of style no longer profitable
Hollywood turn off the tap of money
"The Colossus of Rhodes" was the first film directed by Sergio Leone
in his particular vision of the myth
figures of heroes appear ridiculed; Leone directed his second film
with Robert Aldrich "*** and Gomorrah" becomes the
greatest failure in the history of cinema
Leone finished with his movie career ??
at the beginning of the 60´s,in last century
Italian film industry is based on two pillars: by a
part mythological films also called
Sandals movies (Péplum cinema)
destined for the general public and on the other hand these films neorealist.
movies are uncomfortable
take a stand and show large differences between rich and poor
the art of film directors such as Roberto Rossellini and Luchino Visconti not
get to overshadow the "Nouvelle Vague"
a new form of intellectual cinema from Sweden and especially of France
Leone pays attention to Hollywood
why not try a Western
-At 80% of the public likes Westerns ...
-At that time produced two or three year
-It was exciting to shoot a western ...
-Spanish co-production, though it had the last word
Sergio Leone broke the head devising new, and was not the only...
-I knew
-Sergio Leone
-before shooting my first Western
-together we try to propose
-italian producers this gender
-but usually ...
-frightened rejected him ...
- considered a madness shooting a Western in Italy
And had tried numerous sometimes shooting a Western in Italy
and Spain
especially in the Abruzzo mountains east Rome
Imperatori field
"Cousin Jim" was a Western that already during recordings was digging its
tomb
trying to make exact copies of the American Westerns
a company brave
actors often exceeded themselves
was pondering exactly how and on where everything had to lie down again
the actor to return to die
and yet the idea of Westerns successful, although not
precisely in Italy,
Italian producers discover amazed that is in Germany where
roll over Westerns
the "Sauerkraut Western" call them Italian
-Seeks to mecie Brice?
-Is a French actor
-German? no, I do not know
the first film was shot in 1962 "The Treasure of Silver Lake"
the following year he made two more "Winnetou 1" and "Old Shatterhand"
-I read the script of Silver Lake Treasure
-Old Satterhand was a role interesting ... but Winnetou
-I am not interested at first, I excited just remembering
-how the north americans treated to the Indians
-but the idea of working with Lex Barker who had
-known in Rome attracted me a lot. as my girlfriend that
-that time was willing to yugoslavia accompany me to the end
-I decided to sign the contract
-and never regretted it. the premiere of the movie
-was a success. viewers of the film
-were excited
-even Dumas had awakened so much
-enthusiasm in France
-it was so extreme that I had to call the police for me
-take out from the crowd
-talk to me ,because Alex and other was less exciting
- but for me it was a Frenchman who rolled in Germany was a
-wonderful experience
-Westerns in Germany worked well
-the one that Karl May wrote, was someone like our Salgari
-and who wrote his Westerns in a cabin Tyrolean
-Had never been in America and don´t knew the Western
-at that time
the huge blockbuster success in the West Germany
caught the attention of those responsible film
East Germany
become a student (Gojko Mitic) in its Indian hero
was intended to change the point of view of the spectator.
about the "evil Indians"
what they were
indigenous habitants of North America
systematically assassinated by the white man
"Chingachgook"
"Die Söhne der großen Barin" (the children of the Great Bear)
and especially "Ulzana" became greatest hits
but the Italian public demanded something realistic
was filled with noble heroes
say something like a samurai Japanese ... whip, dirty, hard ...
yes it was true
the idea was not new
the american John Sturges already had tried when it was proposed
Hollywood Westerns resuscitate
this inspired Leone
Japan copy cars and technology, John Sturges copy to Kurosawa
The Seven Samurai and become The Magnificent Seven
Charles Bronson was another Eli Wallach ...
-Had just participated in a Western: The Magnificent Seven
-Leone wanted me for one of movies, I asked what kind of
-films.... for a Spaghetti-Western
-amazed I said that sounds like pizza hawaina
seven heroes are many for Leone
and above all too expensive, has a shoestring
one would have to suffice
and a film and also had Kurosawa already
-I saw a movie that made me curious
-was the story of a Akira Kurosawa's samurai
-Based thriller "Red Harvest" by Dashiell Hammett
-everything was imbued with the Kurosawa spirit
-the samurai era as alter ego Japanese director
-I thought that ...all that
-could be a Western
-and I did ....
Kurosawa film "Yojimbo" can be the basis for a Western
a simple story
an ancient recipe of the history of cinema
indeed "Easy Street" ,silent film of Charles Chaplin, 1916
show a pattern very similar, to Kurosawa first inspired and
to Sergio Leone after
while the small Chaplin defeats his enemy Goliath
only with intelligence
Japanese film in the samurai uses his sword
and the lone hero of the new Western
relying solely on his colt
and winchester
Kurosawa had a star: Toshiro Mifune
but an actor known as the expensive
but ... what to say about this man?
Leone is set to a young actor appears in the series "Raw Hide"
closely resembled the cult actor James Dean
Leone yet was not insurance
Eastwood had in Rowhide one aspect very similar to having the cowboys
cows caring ...
must change its image
stop shaving and start smoking cigarillos
a detail that will become its own brand
-We were shooting the series Rawhide when I phoned Leone
- Offered me a role without knowing even, I signed the
-Contract immediately and took the first plane to Italy
the assistant director of Leone Fernando Baldi recalls:
-Remember Clint Eastwood ...
-his poncho, his cigar,
-his hat ...
-and as walked around Almeria
-so quiet
-always impassive, exactly as the actor Sergio Leone's
-had made him
-like that
ironies ... The new hero is not social
-Leone had only participated in two lower quality films and
-just one like director
-I thought
-My God! like going to this? this guy is a rookie ...
-but everyone commented that he had a great sense of humor and everything
-need to shoot a good Western, and was also had a
-good visual sense
Leone wants to astound
Yojimbo was also an outcast, dirty, uneducated without luggage
-Of course it was exciting for me ringing the trigger because
-meant more adventures coming
Leone wrote a script in just five days
and the truth is that it was a screenplay by Kurosawa
but Leone
never mentioned
proposed production Robert Hossein role
even Masimilian Shade
a Western?
if he was not interested, and Clint Eastwood became the night to
tomorrow in a star
-The characters were not the usual
-Especially a hero who had no name
-And that it was what drew attention
-For example the role making Eastwood in the trilogy of Sergio Leone
- "The Man with No Name"
-At first the film would called The Mysterious Stranger
or The Magnificent Stranger
Sergio wanted an easy music to understand, uncomplicated
simple tones, and popular topics transition
composer Ennio Morricone contributed significantly to
success
-I am a musician film
-I love to compose this type music
-especially for Sergio
-my first surprise with Morricone I haved during the projection of the
-movie ....he fell asleep
-I was stumped ...
-but when he awoke
-he sat at the piano and composed music
-but , how he did it? for me it was like a miracle
another small miracle is also Ennio Morricone's music gives life to
arid landscape
and so ,by Leone request,first the composed music and then
included in the film, transformed however, the feeling brought to the desert
the film "A Fistful of Dollars"
became a hit, a blockbuster
Montecarlo
home of the famous producer Alberto Grimaldi
-The first big hit was A Fistful of dollars
-was the first movie with Clint Eastwood
-the second film for A couple of dollars more, even had a collection
-more, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the story of two bounty hunters
-surpassed the previous two films amply
-The Western Italian
-was well received and paradoxically because it included
-contrary to what one might expect much realism, which lacked
-American Westerns
- ... This job ...
-Is still my weakness
Steve Reeves stunt in blockbusters calls himself Kenny Wood
and his eternal adversary Mimo Palmara is known to the western world as
Tic Palmer
stunts specialists quality is key action westerns
Stefannelli clan is responsible for the main stunts specialists
Spaghetti Western; training of actors and horses
Enzo Castellari is the director and its first films taught the same
the craft specialists
a director for more than important was the action and not the
drama or message
-I am Marco, son of Benito Stefanelli
-Who was in charge of all scenes with stunts specialists in the
-Sergio Leone films
- I continue to work looking forward
-my weakness are horses, cars, bikes and everything that has to
-do with it
-this is my business
the two rivals
no matter if with a sword or a colt
passing from one to another without problems
remove the sandals, put the boots cowboy
-I told Sergio but instead of shooting
-by side horses
-would be nice to film from behind
-as did John Ford,
-so they appreciate its strength
-the power of animals, not just their beauty
-the power of animals, not just their beauty
-after a long silence me answered according
-you will write the script for my next movie
a physician relies on his stethoscope to check the heartbeat
of their patients
a gunman has to be confident his weapon whose mechanics should work
like clockwork
-You have to check that the mechanism
-the gun that works well ...
-listen clik clik clack clack
-and pinning so, how this movement
-that make the cowboys in the movies
-we must make sure that everything goes well because otherwise do it soon
-be dead
-This is the belt and the colt used by Eastwood
- For a Few Dollars More
-This one on the left belonged to Lee Van Cleef
- Lee Van Cleef colt had a curious detail
-a long-range cannon
-and Eastwood a short barrel with a range
-from 30 to 40 meters maximum, but with this gun
-So long had the ability to hit about 80 meters
-talked like the Westerns
-we dressed like Westerns
-also Sergio Leone.also Clint Eastwood, and all
-the team
For a few dollars more
exceeded the first successful movie
It tells the conflict between two bounty hunters who have the
competition
Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef
Leone's budget grows like the fame of his hero inaccessible
the more evil is the bad, is greatest the heroism of good
-I will show how to fall my father's
-americans killed by a shot in the seventies
-he died well ... something languid
- I do much more more realistic and action
the colt is decided what will happen
Leone and she had very clear ideas to respect from childhood
-One day Sergio ask me
-how you shoot? Answered normally not fire a gun
-but like a child shooting at? shooting at so *** *** *** or so .. ***
-And you?, And Leone said I shot bangbangbangbang ...
the lone avenger is representative of death
and better if directly involves the wooden case
inside there is a deadly instrument
Leone already has his hero: Clint Eastwood
"The unknown rider" and Sergio Corbucci seeks his
and it is, "the man in the coffin" .. currently lives at the back of
Vatican
-Django...Django was fun ...
-I have not had 22 or 23 years and had already made some films
-with Ianetti and Prosperi, at that time Sergio had
- had rolled and A Fistful of Dollars ...
-and there was much talk of
-Westerns
-there was a call from a producer saying that the director
-Sergio Corbucci had seen my photo
-when we met asked me if wanted to do a Western
-at first reject it ...
-at that time
-must be borne in mind that I was doing serious roles
- at the Piccolo Teatro of Milan under the direction
-Giorgio Strehler
- "Think," he said, "think well"
-In Django everything was an adventure ...
-the film is going to record in Italy
-in winter, in studies Helios ...
- to Corbucci also liked
-Japanese style purist
-In low light, very muddy, we consider ... and it was something that look at the time ...
-The story was developed in Sicily ...
-Yet suddenly I noticed something that did not add up, something was wrong ...
-I suddenly saw the light and affirm
- "But if this is a Western"
-This is Villa Lanfranchi, the home of my ancestors ...
-one of them was killed ...
- was almost a girl ... the murderer her husband ...
-his spirit still roams the house
-have in the basement and a wall with metal skewers, there just the
-unwanted visitors
-The director Mario Lanfranchi
-is a very cultured man, very elegant gentleman
-a director of opera ...
-I do not understand how an opera director can make a Western
Tomas Milian should work in one its series B Westerns, he feared
not to offer serious roles again, so
that is why the Cuban Latin actor becomes an albino look
-He looked like elegant man
-has to deal with the ***
-and some of that *** was me
change of scenario: México, shortly before of the revolution ..
"México" is located east of Almeria in the Sierra del Cabo de Gata
peasants are oppressed and exploited
Westerns
may also contain a political message
and one of the first to understand this is director Sergio Sollima
-For the character of "Cuchillo", hire for a young Latino Tomas Milian...
- in fact Cuban
-this new character in the Western ...
-not known to hold a gun ...
-his weapon was that of the poor, which has nothing
-only dagger with that was great ...
Cuchillo not only used the knife ... but also other weapon that appears very
rarely in Westerns, his brain ... the bounty hunter has trapped
cleverly simulates being bitten by a snake and get well
gain Cowboy gun
-Lee Van Cleaf ...
-he was called "The Face" had a face very expressive
-with a strong look bright
-he did not need to do anything else
-his face spoke for him
-Lee Van Cleaf belongs
-a category of lucky people
-they are lucky since birth as born
-like a son of a millionaire. money is not own but they have it ...
-and other lucky people born with a face made
-especially to the cinema
-no need to talk,
-has an unmistakable natural expressiveness
-Lee was a bit like that
-Not a great classical actor to the custom of European cinema...
-But Tomas was for my
-As a son, as a brother
-In the script said they were going to tie Cuchillo
-mill wheels
-and I have vertigo
-and Solima wanted to tie me up there
-Isaid : no way...no way.. because if that starts to turn ...
-Never! impossible!
-And he pleaded, "please ... Columbino please ... "
-And I knew if he call me "Colombino" ...
-he had me
-I proposed
-grabs a stunt, no, said, I want to do a close-up and
-have to be you .... summarizing ... I did end
-Clear
-it was totally crazy ...
-a story out of mind ...
- and made things more wild and unbelievably
-Exciting to discover that world ... Tomas was a great actor ...
-There was a scene in the movie "The hawk and prey", I think ...
-In the ...
- Lee Van Cleaf drags me with hands tied
-a rope
-running behind his horse
-
-I cut my foot with the edge of the stones
-they were above in top of the canyon
-with a camera with long objetive for record the scene ...
-...and I bled
-at that time I did not know my rights ...
-and I felt like the character that recreated
-and my actor´s pride prevented me stop acting ...
-Lee! I'm cutting the feet
-So I ran
-Later, when I saw the film, could have run any
-in my place ... even Solima
-not even recognize me
Gian Maria Volonte
played the role of a
university professor seriously sick and kidnapped by a bandit, Milian
both roles were changed
Milian ended up being the nice guy and the university professor
that is recreated with violence
Solima makes a Western intellectual, the
violence that we are all capable
on the border between
good and evil that is in every one of us
- ... Sergio Solima? I interrupt?
-What are you working now?
-I´m editing my last Western "runs Cuchillo ,runs"
-Mr Solima, is considered one of the masterminds of the film
-Italian ... how is it that makes you westerns?
-I must say that many intellectuals are drawn
-Westerns, at least in Italy; and that gives me the
-possibility of creating a story is accessible to all social classes
-I can communicate without a reference temporary and that each
-Viewer can identify with my characters
-for it faced the image of the super technology
-and the super efficiency with the human image simple people
-so I win the sympathy of public
- "During the conquest of the West"
- "This man crossed deep ravines .."
- "Wild Rivers,"
-"Extensive plains"
-"Muddy meadows"
-"Steep mountains"
-"And endless deserts ..."
-"do you know which would have chosen? ..."
-"If this man had done his exploits in car ...
"It is good to remember, Volkswagen, the best buy!"

Almeria has a tradition as a place of filming
part of Lawrence of Arabia was filmed here

-there was no tension to who would be the next role
-who was the most important .. no. all were friendly and
-we passed very well
-Klaus Kinski, when reached Almería everyone

yet they say "yes" to the movie,but with one condition
first he must make one last Western
will become his masterpiece
an ode to violence
Flame: "Once upon a time in the west"
in Spanish: "Hasta que llego su hora"
-Especially dangerous are vice presidents of big
-american film companies
-with blue eyes sitting in front of you watching you in the face
- but at the first opportunity presented to them
-leave you abandoned
does most of it shoot a place known: in the desert heat
a budget Hollywood style
could be achieved a good western
and Leone wants to show what he can do
and once again working with his friend Ennio Morricone
staging memorable
in the first minutes, Leone liquidates three stars, which as murderers are
facing the most ruthless of all Charles Bronson
still faces here trauma childhood ...
Bronson kills thieves and his father's murderers
Leone film without Eastwood, the Stars: Charles Bronson, a
Legend of the westerns, Henry Fonda, and finally a woman ...
-I think it's one of the few Westerns ..
-except Johnny Guitar
-in which the entire drama is centered on a woman
- was a wonderful role
-the woman is strong, decisive, know what wants
-and never surrenders
-Ladies and gentlemen! the great guest tonight is ...
-Sergio Leone

-be good friends
-I had seen too many Westerns
-of callers Spaghetti Western
-I had seen too many Westerns .. of callers Spaghetti Western
-I do not seem at all conventional
-there are many Westerns interesting, but for me Leone
-symbolizes the individual, is a man with much
-imagination with a heart maverick full of ideas,
-in truth a visionary
Robert Hossein makes their role and stages its version
very particular anonymous rider
a tribute to Leone
a film which falls into the sexist stereotypes, with a woman
strong you want to avenge the death of his husband
this paper does Michèle Mercier, his costar
for many years
-All of this theme is about the solitude
-is curious figure of the Lone Ranger ...
-especially its relationship with memories ...
- and to be honest
-I think I look a lot more
-to my heroes
uncompromising and purist , take a look to the decay of cities and
people
sister wants her brother become the murderer
The hero is accepted into the family to must annihilate, is a latent danger
but it is also nice
seems somewhat awkward and shy
and nearly take his colt when others allow a joke with him
with a jumping toy
-Is the past, is my hero in the history of
- "Cemetery without crosses"
-a nostalgia
-not given a special value to life
-Is a loner, but when provoked vows revenge
-a revenge that is not even yours
-today, the worldview make even greater
-solitude´s feelings
-one has heard both and says that both from other
-when you stop to observe men ...
-think how they are doing today
-I get even more gloomy
And despite all , he acts
effective, without notice, cleanly and silence
the murderers do not show a reaction
not to shoot, or to die ...
nothing matters
-Let me tell you something about my father
-I loved
-a part of my life had to be separated
-but he composed some great scores
-and also the main theme, I mean the theme song
-was very similar to the style Western
-is nice for nostalgia, the melodies and stuff ...
The shooter does the job in the end it ends up dying, a staging brutal
the hero dies in the style of Henry Fonda, and lets out his life in the sand
-A peculiarity of the Italian producers
-changed the name to the actors
-the names should continue market laws, the public should
-believe that it was an american actor
-my name is Gianni Garko and that sounds slightly exotic
-consequently, the producers decided that he should call me
-otherwise, called me Gary Gasso
-This nickname comes from a tribute
-I was a fan of Gary Cooper, and the producer Luchiano Martino liked...
-he was a fan of Ron Gasso
-I have to admit that I have never seen Django´s Corbucci
-but it was for me role model
-although have other examples like a Gary Cooper, Henry Fonda
-and other classics of american cinema
-the character of Sartana is distinguished from
-other Italian Westerns
-by the use made of mechanical objects
Sartana used chargers his derringer like tops on the table
gambling
is a player and a weapons specialist with which they can do many tricks
Gianni Garko participates in a Sartana of films in which
face two more gunmen hazardous
also have to splendor Spaghetti Western, these gunmen are
Klaus Kinski and William Berger
(If you meet Sartana pray for your death ... (It incontri Sartana per la tua morte prega)
1965 ...
the U.S. Army
enters in vietnam,
Germany and its conflicts
Paris student riots
something is happening in Europe
something that had not happened so far
Sergio Solima is the first to reflect constantly to search
Check for spaghetti western
revolution
more specifically revolution Mexico
everyone dreams of a revolution
one of the cult films movement of 68 is "Pay to Kill"
with Tony Musante and Franco Nero
to the sound of the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone
revolution is spreading across the country like a hurricane
Sergio Leone and wants to shoot a Western
the style of the trilogy of dollar, record film Melody of Death
Leone joins the current Westerns set in the revolution
uses a successful pattern
confront an intellectual and a bandit
-The historical film in Italy had its moment of
-peak during the 60
-at that time I worked in various films but
-was constantly inventing new technical possibilities
-as for example in the Giant of Rome based on the extraordinary
- film Canyons of Navarone
-for the bombing instead of using giant cannons
-use huge catapults with boiling oil
-and bombarded the armies coming
-had that point of fantasy; approached the heroes who came
-then, as Schwarzenegger
-In the role of Conan
Leone once again is fixed in a model, in the political allegory
Damiano Damiani, "Who knows"
¿Quien sabe? (A bullet for the General)
-This is ...
-a story about revolutionary rebels
-without showing any love story or nothing like that
-the drama shows madness
-as men are willing to die for the revolution
-as the title says "Who knows" perhaps be the best Western of this type
Gian Maria Volonte in its role the Chuncho just realize that
his supposed friend has used it to assassinate General of the revolution
he admires
that is why we have
to kill this enemy of the people
-who knows...
-I have not made any Western... because my intention not
-was never imitate the american cinema
-and present revolution as the americans look
-when I started working in this project ...
-I never had the intention of making a Western, I have it
-very clear
- is not no Western movie
-Currently it is difficult to make a film leaving politics
-aside
-is in the nature of gender
-I think we must try this issue very seriously
-that's my point of view, and is a view I share with many
-important people
-for example with Charlie Chaplin ...
-entertainment is a tool, a vehicle that allows you to
-talk about certain topics of interest
-a style of filmmaking that I
-don´t like is when you send a message without make clear the point of view
Allusions, political views, criticisms what happens??
the Spaghetti Westerns as primitive and criticized for their
brutality, contain a social message?
succeed? and now will do respectable?
film director Enzo Castellari action can not shake the
westerns
let the saga guide Corbucci, Django
and Franco Nero makes it Keoma
a mestizo
and desert scenery, landscapes desolate, dust and mud
-In Westerns the dialogues are not as important
-have here French, Mexican, Americans, so for
-tell actors is easier to discuss, for example the french say 1 2 3 ...
-americans says one
-and maybe means yes, but it can also mean something else
-thast is why hate Westerns! ... -Sir Corbucci ...
-What will be his next film? -A Western of course
-Always dream with a rider on its riding on top of a mountain
-is like a thing that seems to be surreal, it's like ...
-a message
-naturally if we think in Western like Keoma
-or Revenge of the Indian White, in both
-movies I play a mestizo, the Indians had no weapons ...
-used ... I don´t know, his knife ....
-based their struggle on the strength corporal
-both,Keoma as an Indian Revenge of white ...
-there action scenes in which I pounced on the enemy as a
-Puma or jaguar
-I do it in a very spontaneous
-and I hope to continue doing in the next Western
-of course I'm not a youngster
-But yet I feel able run such stunts
Keoma fight against all bad guys
and when his enemy is in the crosshairs
men are prey
Franco Nero real name is Franssesco Sparanero
means
"Hits the target"
-After Django; Corbucci ask me if I wanted to do the lead role
- "The Great Silence"
-I can´t accept because I had to go America to do Camelot
-so ,chose to a good French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant,with Klaus Kinski as couple
The westerns are in demand and for public one is inventing new things
but a western in winter? Corbucci achieved a success
-I had so much fun; this is one of the Western tricks...keep
-low head and you have to lift slowly so as to give some
-light; keep it light under the hat
-You're an actor romantic... how it came to participate in
-a Western?
-How romantic? no ... not just romantic I have done many
-movies ...something like....
-you know...more serious
-...more intellectual, is very fun to do something that is just what
-otherwise. -And like a hero has had to kill many people?
- Oh yeah, about 30, right at the beginning of the movie I killed four
-waiting in ambush, hidden, in a frozen lake on a wide

The file record from Lars Block is a documentary about the
cold ,stressful and very strange Western
filming jobs in Cortina d'Ampezzo
and how the Abruzzo mountains and Helios studies
become to
in a winter landscape, and instead of snow, being ideal and the most resistant, and
most male of course ... foam shave
the death is prepared for the silent hero
the death is prepared for the silent hero
with artificial blood and a small capsule in her hair
Trintignant prepares for deadly final
Pure innocence and fate ,awakening the compassion
all are dramatic elements necessary to arouse the emotions
reason the feeling of hatred the hero
and his desire to shed the blood of the criminal
-I believe that violence is a part of the aesthetics of
-Spaghetti-Western
-is as an effect choreographic
-violence very formally presented
-violence from the film Japanese
-Kurosawa film, the samurai
-these formalisms are found in other filmmakers
.as for example in Tarantino films
Few women appear in Westerns, but there
in the movie with the seductive
title of "The 7 Magnificent"
all heroes are exclusively female
a group of women, lose her men in the killing, have to
fend for themselves, and have to replace their husbands in the fight
against Indians
But have retained their good heart
not only heal and care for the son of the Indian chief
but even rescue a soldier who had been captured ...
what is a happy ending
While men appear as heroes, the image
of women is terrible
or are the incarnation of the *** Mary or are prostitutes
-I still remember that when we were shooting the movie
-Django
- "Prepare Your Coffin"
-I did not have time, and I proposed to actor: Mario Girotti
-When we all know as Terence Hill
-And I told the makeup

-Franco Nero
Initially Terence Hill and Bud Spencer followed
steps violence before go to comedy
-During the filming took place Django a funny story
-Enzo Barboni, the camera always had a script under his arm
-a Western, he told me: "Franco I want to make a Western ...
-But not dead "
And the longer celebrated Spaghetti Western
its success, the more comfortable they felt actors
but violence is a resource spent and change happens to
comic
the beginnings of the duo Terence Hill and Bud Spencer are located in the middle years
Spaghetti Western genero
funniest westerns of the film history was made in that
time
"They call me Trinity"
"Trinity Is Still My Name!" or "My name is nobody "
Colizzi is discovering the duo Spencer - Hill
and imposed the enormous Spencer role of a modern maciste
-The author of the script
-was Enzo Barboni, who called
- E.B. Clucher because I think his grandmother
-was German
-had already shot a lackluster Western
-was a good friend of producer Zingarelli
-because he had worked with him as operator
-Insisted to Zingarelli that read the script
-All it took was crazy, because wanted to do a western
-humorous
-comedy
Giuseppe Colizzi films: "Blood River" (God forgive ... I don't)
but Enzo Barboni
the camera film crew Django
which finds the comic duo as we know it
really an odd couple
Former Olympic swimmer Bud Spencer and gymnast Terence Hill
and both have to learn to interpenetrate
- Zingarelli ...
-did not feel like reading the script
- ... though Barboni was his friend
-Because the economic situation of their company "West films"
-Not very good
-Barboni tried to contact him by telephone
-Repeatedly
-But without success
-One day finally could not help him
-Barboni told him about the project and let the script
Zingarelli-read the script and I
Became co-Palazzi Roberto to give his opinion
-The Spaghetti Westerns is called like that because they were productions
-except the big movies of Sergio Leone,
-were films with little budget that determined
-medium-low quality
-I have worked with Sergio Leone, as a producer has been a
-bearer of the genre, among other things because her
-had the necessary
-although the contract great actors americans; and sometime
-Terence Hill and I were discovered to film Westerns comical
-There were other comedy in the same style
-many fight scenes, calls
-fisticuffs comedy, fun to watch
-comical Westerns such had not been made before
- no blood was spilled or nobody has killed ...
-our movies are action movies
-In which the most important is not violence
-and that is the reason that our films experienced
-global success
-two or three years after Mel Brooks copy the
-format, and also made a Western comedy
- No longer our Western are
-Spaghetti-Westerns were comedy Westerns ... they were large
-hits worldwide
-we can say it was by chance or by the occurrence of those
-invented the genre
But in the same extent that others people of cinema
imitating his movies , Bud Spencer and Terence Hill move away
from Westerns scenarios
in a very agile move, the duo escape the Western scene
and continue their adventures as two guys who travel the world
in Asia, Africa and Latin-America
roles either innocent angels, or bikers
his fame has come intact to the present
thanks to its strong acts and perpicases quotes
they were not involved in the decline of the Western
-I am convinced. the Western is dead
-It is clear that Scorsese has been Spaghetti Western
-Coppola and also, there is a clear influence on
-his films
-this means that films american author and the
-great american movies is a latent influence in regard to
-Image language, with respect to violence, but sometimes
-also in regard to the world
-and there is also a gender film
-which is strongly influenced by Spaghetti Westerns
-how to find curiously Asian Cinema
The Western is alive otherwise in Takeshi Kitano films
-Japanese films such as films of swords
-have imitated their way to Italian cinema
-really is a funny story, Leone for
-a Western made a remake of a Japanese movie, he invented a
- rhetoric, and that language subsequently much imitated visualy
-by Japanese filmmakers when they returned making films of swords and
-Samurai
Quentin Tarantino cited
among of his favorite movies :Keoma
and Kill Bill 1 and 2 mixes art Asian samurai with elements
the Western
The Western is alive. The ritual continues always remain the same and still valid
mourning
This genre becomes mutated cruelty
all that was critical in the Spaghetti Western was hardness of heart
Apparently the Western is susceptible suffering innumerable changes
and is good for it become a new genus and specific a story
endless
looks challenging
expect, music that announces the end
great shots
"The fable, poetry
the myth
do not belong to anyone ...
they are all
so the Westerns belong to all ... "quote from Sergio Leone,
1984
