Why Sergio Leone was a great director. (Prison escape scene)
Loading...

That accent you're hearing is Dutch. I compare two very, very similar western scenes about a prison escape. Note the similarities: It's night, the prisoner is asleep, escape by destroying the window, riding away in the dark and not a single word is spoken. The scenes even have almost exactly the same length.
Still, Leone's scene is better, because of his use of the music of Ennio Morricone. Thus, it's only Leone's very own style that makes this scene so great, and it says a great deal about why he made great films.
It's interesting that both directors, Sergio Leone and Giulio Petroni, used the same composer, had Lee Van Cleef in one of the leading roles and even shot the film in the exact same western cities in Spain.

Nice Dunglish accent ^^ btw, Sergio was not one of the greatest, he is one of the greatest! :) though, as original you may think he is, even Leone got a lot of inspiration of others, mainly from Akira Kurosawa. His westerns show a lot in common with Kurosawa's samurai films, especially Yojimbo.

He could die in the explosion, they might get shot while running away. But during it all, the main character, Clint, knows better and willing to take his chances. At the end, the heroes manage to escape the tough situation by galloping into the darkness.
The music adds to the comic, or adventurous character of Clint - light but dead serious.
Try watching both scenes with no sound at all and you'll realize Leone's scene is better that way to.
Thank your for the video! Great indeed!

The music indeed adds a lot of interest to the scene however, an scene cannot be judged by it's soundtrack alone. Music should have an extra punch to an already working scene, by adding another dimension to it. Why is this scene more engaging?
The main reason is - tension is being built very cleverly by Leone. There is always a feel that something could go wrong and they might not make it. The prisoner is surprised as the audience is by the whole encounter. (continued in the next post)
