This o...Ham? Well, that nudges against blasphemy. <br />This one is on quite a few "best of" lists; other than that, don't know what to tell ya. Did think the ending was perfect for this particular hero. As for being better than "Dollars"? That's got that dickhead in it, so there you go...it's also a remake of a far superior film.<br /><br />And I did enjoy the score.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033662507699896530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784846369945401487.post-82836051870226983692011-07-29T19:19:26.440-07:002011-07-29T19:19:26.440-07:00Another movie based on real life events, but this ...Another movie based on real life events, but this one didn't work at all, for me (maybe not enough penis'). Everything seemed second rate, even for a spaghetti western. I was very disappointed in Morricone's dissonant, grating score. Kinski was OK, but a serious ham, and the silent man had almost no charisma. The action was uninvolving, didn't lead anywhere, and concluded with one of the most depressing, pointless endings I have ever seen (even considering the historical basis). Considering how it ended, why even have a hero, especially this hero? Most unforgivably, you gave this a higher grade than the infinitely superior "A Fistful of Dollars". I am curious if anyone outside of cast or crew family members has ever considered "The Great Silence" a better film. A 10 for the first spaghetti western I haven't liked.corynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784846369945401487.post-26713469114727965532011-07-05T15:14:27.992-07:002011-07-05T15:14:27.992-07:00And Kinski!
