This movie made me like westerns. It is a wild and exciting adventure through the West during the American civil war. Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach rocked! The music is great as well.
Really, the content of the movie isn't that bad. Nothing compared to now. My veiw is that the younger generation have seen ALOT worse and this is a toddlers movie to them. But either way, it's a great movie and I wish the younger generation could be into these kind of movies today. But unfortunately, they're minds have been spoiled by the crappy movies made today. If I could project into every kid's mind One Flew Over The Cucoos Nest and change them from being such an obnoxious immature era then I would.
I love the music. It is really cool. There's lots of violence in it and I can't believe they call one of the people a good guy. He kills people! Really gruesome. I had to close my eyes when the guy got bashed in the head.
This movie is 5 stars and earns it 100 times over. The best of the spaghetti westerns, it boasts great performances from Eastwood and the Tuco character. This sprawling epic also boasts great direction by Sergio Leone and great music.
This movie is a PG-13 in every way. It is rated R in the USA, and 18 in the UK, but it could have been rated PG-13 and 12A.
Infrequently, words like b*tch and b*sterd are said.
There is violence, a man gets brutally beaten up, a man gets wounded at a war and some mildly bloody corpses.
And the usual western violence, such as shootings.
There is use of alcohol, characters frequently drink, but this is quite common in older movies and it's a total know-your-child-thing.
The movie is great, and so is the soundtrack, the director and the actors.
It is not as good as Leones masterpieces "Once upon a Time in America" and "Once upon a Time in the West" (which both are not listed on Common Sense Media for some reasons), but still great!
