Once Upon a Time in the West


We watched Once Upon a Time in the West directed by Sergio Leone and let me tell you, I thought it was awesome. I have never really seen any westerns besides My Darling Clementine and Once Upon a Time in the West and between the both of them, I'd definitely have to say that I liked Once Upon a Time in the West a lot better. First of all, I thought the cast was great. From Henry Fonda to the amazing Charles Bronson who plays the main character "Harmonica." These men make this movie a fantastic western. Their acting was phenomenal and it made me want to actually watch the movie. Along with those two actors was Claudia Cardinale, who I thought was absolutely gorgeous. I also really liked the plot. One thing I noticed was the filming. I sort of liked the long close-ups. I only sort of liked them because I'm not used to that kind of filming. Overall I thought watching this movie was a great experience and I was actually excited that the film was over two hours long so there'd be more and more to watch.

Ali!

Soo I'd definately say that the characters in this movie were really well thought out and one of the best aspects of the film. I'd add though that it was really hard to follow the plot because of all the characters, and at least for me, I found it kind of difficult to figure out who was good and who was bad....but maybe I'm just slow :) Oh well, I'm glad we both liked it!
