Western


Once upon a time in the west in one of the best westerns I have seen in a very long time. I don't know what it is about it but it really appealed to me. Everything about that movie was just great. I think the music had a big part to play in the film. I don't know what the film would have been like without it. I found it interesting that the music for the film was actually done before the film itself was actually filmed. I found this to be very interesting because even though it was made before the film it seemed that the scenes and the music just went perfectly together. I also found the final showdown to be very intense. We finally figure out why Harmonica wanted to get revenge on Frank and where he got the harmonica from. We see Frank say "Keep your lovin' brother happy" and shuve a harmonica in Harmonica's mouth. It is then as the camera zooms out we see his brother is in a noose and Harmonica is the one keeping his brother alive. Frank has the same thing happen to him when Harmonica comes up and shuves the same harmonica in his mouth. It is at this point that Frank finally figures out who Harmonica really is right before he falls to the ground dead.
