This is a Spaghetti Western film made in 1966. This movie portrays most of what the "Western" genre is all about. So if you are curious about which movie would best depict the "Western" genre, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly does the best job of it. What is odd about the movie is that it was made as satire of Western movies and yet it is rated best in the Western genre. I would personally give this movie an 8 out of 10 stars. It was very slow paced at times which is probably why many would rate it poorly, but I thought it was entertaining to watch.
One of the main actors in the film is Clint Eastwood who plays as "The Good" or "Blondie". At certain times in the movie it is difficult to put blondie as being good or bad. In the beginning, we see him capturing a crook or "The Ugly" to collect bounty money. Then later as "The Ugly" is about to be hanged he shoots the rope to free the crook. The two of them sceme to collect more bounty money which seems very snide and not a "good" act. The second time Tuco is freed blondie leaves him in the desert and gives him no money which is yet again another not so "good" act. He has the most good than the other two characters.
Tuco or "The Ugly" scemes to get revenge on blondie. He manages to get a revolver and a group of three men which he promises to give them money in return for their service. The three men get shot by blondie and Tuco enters through the window in surprise and captures blondie. "There are two kinds of spurs, my friend. Those that come in by the door; those that come in by the window" -Tuco. Nevertheless as blondie is about to be hanged a cannon saves him.
The third character in the film is "The Bad" or Angel Eyes. Personally, the first time I saw him I could tell he was evil. What with his mustache and evil eyes. Very ironic is that he would be called Angel Eyes and he is no such angel. His bad acts range from beating women to plotting to get the buried money from Bill Carson. Every act he does seems sneaky and untrustworthy. "Oh I almost forgot. He payed me a thousand. I think his idea was that I kill you" -Angel Eyes.
