Excerpt: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Italian: ), is a 1966 Italian epic spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach in the title roles. The screenplay was written by Age & Scarpelli, Luciano Vincenzoni and Leone, based on a story by Vincenzoni and Leone. Director of photography Tonino Delli Colli, was responsible for the film's sweeping widescreen cinematography and Ennio Morricone composed the famous film score, including its main theme. It is the third and final film in the Dollars Trilogy following A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and For a Few Dollars More (1965). The plot centers around three gunslingers competing to find a fortune in buried Confederate gold amid the violent chaos of gunfights, hangings, Civil War battles and prison camps. In a desolate ghost town during the American Civil War, bandit Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez ("The Ugly," Eli Wallach) narrowly shoots his way past three bounty hunters to freedom, killing two but only wounding the third. Miles away, Angel Eyes ("The Bad," Lee Van Cleef) interrogates a former soldier called Stevens (Antonio Casas) about a missing man named Jackson who has taken on the name "Bill Carson" (Antonio Casale) and a cache of stolen Confederate gold. He brutally kills Stevens and his eldest son after the interrogation, but not before Stevens pays Angel Eyes to kill Angel Eyes' employer, another former soldier named Baker. Angel Eyes later collects his fee for Stevens' killing from Baker, and then shoots him too. Meanwhile, during Tuco's flight across the desert he runs into a group of bounty hunters who prepare to capture him when they ...http://booksllc.net/?id=31557 ... Read more

Excerpt: Sergio Leone (Italian pronunciation: ; January 3, 1929 April 30, 1989) was an Italian film director, producer and screenwriter most associated with the "Spaghetti Western" genre. Leone's film making style includes juxtaposing extreme close-up shots with lengthy long shots. His best remembered movies are the Dollars Trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), Once Upon a Time in the West, Duck, You Sucker!, and Once Upon a Time in America. Born in Rome, Leone was the son of the cinema pioneer Vincenzo Leone (known as director Roberto Roberti or Leone Roberto Roberti) and the silent film actress Edvige Valcarenghi (Bice Waleran). During his schooldays, Leone was a classmate of his later musical collaborator Ennio Morricone for a time. After watching his father work on film sets, Leone began his own career in the film industry at the age of 18 after dropping out of law studies at the university.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Le Bon, la Brute et le Truand (Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo) est un western réalisé par Sergio Leone en 1966. Pour compléter la Trilogie du dollar et pour éliminer une fois de plus le risque de se répéter, Sergio Leone augmente de deux à trois le nombre de protagonistes. Tout comme Clint Eastwood partageait la vedette avec Lee Van Cleef dans le deuxième film (Et pour quelques dollars de plus), ceux-ci partagent l'écran avec Eli Wallach dans ce troisième film. Autre nouveauté, l'irruption de l'Histoire dans le scénario, avec la guerre de Sécession américaine. Particularité encore plus unique : le positionnement chronologique du film à l'intérieur de la trilogie. L'auteur semble vouloir suggérer un retour cyclique sans fin : alors que dans les deux premiers films, la guerre semble déjà terminée, ici elle fait toujours rage. Plutôt qu'une conclusion, donc, ce troisième film relaterait des faits qui se sont produits plusieurs années auparavant. À l'appui de cette hypothèse, le personnage de Clint Eastwood (la constante qui lie les trois films) ne se présente pas dans sa tenue habituelle. Au lieu d'un poncho, il porte un long manteau. C'est au cours de ce film qu'il trouve son fameux poncho et l'endosse, retrouvant enfin l'apparence extérieure du personnage des deux premiers films. D'autres éléments semblent toutefois contredire l'hypothèse qu'il s'agit du même homme. Il est donc possible que cette histoire soit indépe...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Extrait : Sergio Leone était un réalisateur italien, né le 3 janvier 1929 à Rome (Italie) et mort le 30 avril 1989 à Rome, alors qu'il préparait une adaptation de Salisbury Les 900 jours de Leningrad. Il est le fils de Vincenzo Leone dit Roberto Roberti (pionnier du cinéma italien) et de l'actrice Bice Waleran (Edwige Valcarenghi de son vrai nom) Il commence sa carrière comme de nombreux réalisateurs italiens de son époque en réalisant (ou co-réalisant) d'abord des péplums (Le Colosse de Rhodes). Ensuite, alors que le western américain est en plein déclin, il participe au développement du western spaghetti (ou western italien ; il déclarait cependant : « Ce mot de spaghetti-western, c'est un des plus cons que j'ai jamais entendus de ma vie »), d'abord sous le pseudonyme à consonance américaine Bob Robertson (l'américanisation du nom est monnaie courante à l'époque pour les réalisateurs désirant percer aux États-Unis d'Amérique) puis sous son vrai nom. Ce pseudonyme n'est pas gratuit puisqu'il signifie Bob fils de Robert en référence à son père, le réalisateur Roberto Roberti. Son style s'impose en cinq westerns devenus les plus représentatifs du genre : Pour une poignée de dollars, Et pour quelques dollars de plus, Le Bon, la Brute et le Truand (tous trois avec Clint Eastwood, qui débute ainsi sa carrière), Il était une fois dans l'Ouest et Il était une fois la révolution Pour une poignée de dollars, Et pour quelques dollars de plus et Le Bon, la Brute et le Truand sont les trois films réal...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Joe D'Amato, (birth name: Aristide Massaccesi) (December 15, 1936 in Rome - January 23, 1999 in Rome) was a prolific Italian filmmaker who directed little less than 200 movies, usually at the same time acting as producer and cinematographer, and sometimes providing the script as well. While D'Amato contributed to many different genres (such as the spaghetti western, the war movie, the swashbuckler, the peplum, and the fantasy film), he mainly devoted himself to the exploration (and exploitation) of cinematic eroticism and voyeurism, both soft- and hardcore. Still, he probably gained greatest fame through a few notorious horror movies which he made early on in his career. D'Amato was familiar to the environment of cinema through his father who worked as an electrician at Cinecittà. He began his career in 1961 as camera operator (often working under cinematographer Franco Villa). Then, starting with Pelle di Bandito in 1969, he regularly worked as director of photography for directors such as Demofilo Fidani (Dead Men Don't Make Shadows, One Damned Day at Dawn...Django Meets Sartana!, A Barrel Full of Dollars), Alberto De Martino, Massimo Dallamano (What Have You Done to Solange?), Silvio Amadio, Mino Guerrini, and Michele Lupo (Ben and Charlie). In 1972, D'Amato started directing his own movies whilst still continuing to work as cinematographer for other directors. His first directorial efforts include the spaghetti ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=653697 ... Read more
