Sergio Leone

Yes.

yes go ahead so in in the assembly cut was a a split screen that was different than that and i sort of asked kenji i was like is this a is this a thing you want to do um i was like it's not really in the cinematic language of the rest of the movie but like if it's a thing you want to keep then we we can totally do that and he goes well what i what i really want is he's like this is my like sergio leone he's like i want this to feel like at the bed and And I was like, okay, well in the cemetery, I was like, that is in ecstasy of gold.

I was like, it's just closeups.

It's not splits.

If you've seen any of my movies, you know that but I love beautiful women and some sort of flowing outfit with gorgeous hair and wide eyes moving in slow motion especially in gothic corridors and christine kaufman again i've read criticisms of her in the past as this role feeling like she's walking through it in a trance well of course she is she's this gorgeous living mannequin this traumatized prop that is being propelled through the picture and her secret lies in the angles of her face and the wide wide eyes she wasn't in a lot of films in fact she gave up on cinema full stop and I believe the 1980s when she instead pursued life as a cosmetics Baron but when she did act again all eyes on her She had worked extensively in Europe in the 1960s.

She was in the Corbucci, Sergio Corbucci, Sergio Leone, one-two punch at the last days of Pompeii with Steve Reeves and then a few other pictures.

But this is her movie all the way.

And that's a great shot there too because we're Keep flashing back to the concept of what's in the bottle.

So he's got this reflexive advantage over everybody else, because he knows when the song ends.

But I highly recommend, if you feel like going back to the great spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone, a few dollars more.

And I think you'll really enjoy the watch part.

so my by the way really has to do with what i seem to increasingly seems to be topically interesting and it was fueled by us having an astronaut in the store but the topically interesting thing is sort of the now everybody's concerns of ai taking over the world or being the death of all of us and i watched last week in a spare a little bit of time Never a little bit of time to watch it, but Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey, which goes back to being from 1968.

Sure.

Few spaghetti westerns had been released in the United States when A Fistful of Dollars was released in 1964, so director Sergio Leone was credited as Bob Robertson, and Ennio Morricone's classic theme was initially credited as Dan Savio.

Oh my gosh.

How do we Americanize these words? I love Bob Robertson.

This was striking distance, Bruce Willis.

Unless it's on a Sergio Leone movie, if anyone pulls out a fucking mouth organ, I'm out.

I can't stand the sound of mouth organ.

It physically depresses me.

But he was always involved in that, and I guess he got involved in that.

He let slip one night from Leone, Sergio Leone, who was really interested in American violence and why America was so violent.

Which is an interesting topic.

Why is it? Why is there? Whereas in Europe, they store it all up and then have these terrible wars and kill each other.
