the good the bad and the ugly

Our chat about the culmination of the film and its iconic shootout scene leads us to talk about the loose alliances of the three main characters in the film, and whether “The Good” (i.e. Blondie) was actually good?

Why is there so much killing in Westerns? We chat about the characters’ lack of morals and lawlessness in Westerns - why it exists and how it makes the film feel more masculine in nature.

With the holiday season in full swing, hosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry step away from the dinner table long enough to partake in an alternative pastime, cultivating our Film Listology season on Special Topics in Media. In this episode, the dialogic duo revisit the recently invoked "Dad Movie Hall of Fame" to inaugurate what many consider the apex entrant to the spaghetti western subgenre, director Sergio Leone's 1966 Spanish production The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. While universally associated with its rising star Clint Eastwood--once again portraying "the man with no name" (aka "Blondie")--Leone's epic picture splits time between three characters, with special emphasis placed on character actor Eli Wallach's performance as "Tuco".  The film functions as a capper to Leone's "Dollars trilogy", a deconstructive approach to antihero revisionist storytelling. Of note, the cultural placement primarily takes place south of the border, which joins a host of late westerns that shifted lenses to consider the intercultural tensions between Eastern American migrants, post-Civil War ex-militants, soldiers of fortune, and a confluence of Mexican and Mexican American LatinX players (often portrayed by Spaniard locals hired by the film's Italian director).  The result is a bit of film magic and a time capsule into an explosive age of masterful cult filmmaking.

Velkommen til Filmfeber - podcasten som dekker alt av ulike sjangere og epoker i filmhistorien. Denne gangen bestemte vi oss for å belyse et tilfeldig år fra filmens verden, og valget falt på 1966 - et spennende krysningspunkt i filmhistorien. Vi har alle med vår egen topp 3. I panelet er som alltid Pål Gundersen, Tommy Larsson og Per-André Nielsen. Vil du sende inn spørsmål kan du enten gjøre det på instagram: Filmfeber eller mail: filmfeberpod@gmail.com. God lytting!

Den er skabt af en italiener, optaget i Spanien og har amerikanske skuespillere i hovedrollerne.

Den gode den onde og den grusomme (1966) instrueret af Sergio Leone er den 18. film på Thomas og Mortens liste over de 100 bedste film. Vi er i det vilde westen, hvor tre revolvermænd under borgerkrigen leder efter en stor guldskat. Den tavse Blondie (Clint Eastwood), den joviale Tuco (Eli Wallach) og skurken Angel Eyes (Lee van Cleef) afslutter Dollars-trilogien med en legendarisk duel. Alt i mens Ennio Morricones western-musik bruser ud over prærien.

Thomas og Morten tager en snak om spaghettiwesterns, revolverdueller og en dybfølt fascination af cowboyfilm.
