The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The middle half was so long. It doesn't help I watched this with commercials, but I think the movie itself was drawn out. I didn't need the Civil War side plot at all, nor much of the main plot. I just need the first quarter and last quarter, the setup of the trio and the money, and the showdown at the end. Just a little bit of journey in between.

The dub is brutal. I don't see how professionals can do such terrible work. It's distracting.

Eastwood is kind of cool. I like some of his outfits, like the poncho-hat combo at the end. Why is he constantly cringing? That must be so bad for your face? His hair is bad, and his voice is kind of high and sensitive, oddly enough. He feels too youthful to be a symbol of masculinity. But he's kind of cool.

I almost watched Once Upon a Time in the West instead, as ChatGPT told me it was more artistic. I'm glad I didn't, because ChatGPT also told me it was slower and more demanding. If GBU was supposed to be the fun one, OUTW must really not be fun.
