[92af]

Once Upon A Time In The West is one of the greatest movies ever

[cuzaseso]

I think the kid counts as a part of the family... no really

Many years after the film was made, Fonda told the story of him and the Sergio Leone (director) meeting up right before filming started. How he (Fonda) had put in contacts to change his eye color so he looked like a villian. But Leone said--no way! Basically Leone told him that his piercing blue eyes (associated with kindness by many) was the key to stun the audience of his characters evilness in the killing of the family. His vision on how it would effect the audience was so very accurate!

[Taranau]

@h2ofwlr I remember Henry explaining that Sergio said, "NO ! The key to this scene is; I want people gasping and saying Oh my God, that's Henry Fonda !"

[IngeniusSpliffwizard]

the character of "Frank" in this movie was so shocking in this role at the time because actor "Henry Fonda" was known in film's in that day as the "good guy" character, that would be like watching Leonardo Dicaprio slaughter an entire clan of black slaves in a movie today.

oh yeah, that will happen in "Django Unchained". Tune in 2012. the movie will make history. not "Once upon a time in the west" history, but pretty damn close to a leone homage as you can get

[NeverAloneForever]

@IngeniusSpliffwizard QT referenced TGTBATU in IB, didn't he?

[IngeniusSpliffwizard]

@NeverAloneForever Hmm well the opening scene of IB had a very sergio leone feel to it, with the music, the tone etc. what scene in particular does he reference TGTBATU?.

i haven't seen it since 2009 lol

[NeverAloneForever]

@IngeniusSpliffwizard Y'know. The home invasion. The cinematic foreplay before the massacre. Loud horrid music playing. Like Lee Van Cleef's intro.

[gojirametallica]

@NeverAloneForever i get what you mean, he probably was just payin homage to one of the best directors

[NeverAloneForever]

@gojirametallica He also used music from Duck, You Sucker. He's always referencing Leone.

[gojirametallica]

@NeverAloneForever well i haven't seen the movie since it came out 0_o

[NeverAloneForever]

@gojirametallica Me neither. I just got the soundtrack. Surprising it was.

[IngeniusSpliffwizard]

@NeverAloneForever oh! yes, indeed

[NeverAloneForever]

@IngeniusSpliffwizard Hmm?

[catrachocolo]

Man, I'd love to have been in a US cinema when this movie came out and be stunned like everybody else. At the time, Henry Fonda had such a positive image and reputation that he was seen as the ultimate "good guy" by the american public. Apparently the audiences were shocked when they first saw him in this movie, whiping out an entire family without any mercy or remorse. This role was completely out of character for him - which was in fact the main reason why Leone wanted him to play Frank.

[IngeniusSpliffwizard]

@catrachocolo ultimately what QT is doing with Leonardo Dicaprio in DU

[christkanfen]

une très belle scène du film mais pas la meilleur

la musique magnifique

[Feanorielle]

1:58 - 2:05 That smile... that unsmile... it's creepier than his normal stoic face.

[DanielTheWalrus]

NO HENRY! IT CAN'T BE YOU! IT CAAAAAAAAAAAN'T!!!

[SuperJuliusC]

Fucking gingers...

[Roysterdoyster98]

[NeverAloneForever]

@Roysterdoyster98 One of the greatest lines ever. "Now That You've Called Me By Name".

[rmf09024]

[Cleon29Warrior]
