Favorite moments of cinema: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly · 2:49pm Sep 21st, 2018

The best Western in history is the result of irony, a genre born in Italy that gave the genre founded by Ford, a change of style, narrative and timing in what was called "spaghetti", qualifying that curiously laid the foundations of said evolution through Sergio Leone.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly redefined the rules; On the one hand, the symbol created by John Wayne, the kind and romantic vigilante always in search of the greatest justice attached to the law, would radically change that of the "man with no name", a wandering entity that doesn't care about danger, damsel, rules or honor, more than himself. In the figure of Clint Eastwood he would see his most common emblem, but Leone would also place Bronson or even Lee Van Cleef as the western scorpion.

Ecstasy is the perfect word to describe it. The mystical work mimics the prelude to the climax and the end of the odyssey for the gold rush. The percussions and the suspense and trouble for finding Stanton's tomb is imminent; the piano takes the step and is accompanied by the oboe, reproducing the calm of the environment and the achievement of having finally arrived at the destination; the three continue to accompany the magnificent tenor and violins, who, before the climax of the scene, announce that hope and the next culmination of the journey are coming. The union is finally given and it's impossible not to feel the aforementioned "ecstasy" sneak in through all our cinephile and musical senses.
