Good Bad and the Ugly is fucking masterclass filmmaking ever second of it is pure excellence and it makes me cry that movies can't be that good anymore. Every scene is like an entire film class in what you should do to make a good movie.

the movie fucking builds tension in a scene with 2 dudes eating SOUP

AND THATS THE SECOND SCENE IN THE MOVIE

NO STUPID QUIPS, NO JACKASS IRONY

2 GUYS, EATING SOUP, AND YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED

the characters are fleshed out in their ACTIONS, not fucking idiot dialogue that explains everything to you like an idiot. We know all we need to know about Tuco, Angle Eyes, and Blondie through what we see them do throughout the movie.

AND

MY

GOD

THE SCORE

the use of music throughout the movie is fucking brilliant. Reusing themes for certain characters and adjusting it to fit the mood. Absolutely fucking brilliant shit, legendary

the final standoff of the film might very well be the greatest scene ever filmed.
