Spaghetti Westerns

In my last blog, I asked what is a spaghetti western and I'm glad this clip explained what it really is. I love how all of these works are tied together somehow. I also like how it includes sound clips from the movies like Fist Full of Dollars. Im surprised that most of these westerns were filmed in Italy and how they have some Italian influence because the director was Italian. "John Ford believed in optimism and I believe in pessimism." The director of the Fist Full of Dollars movies stated that because he wanted people to know the difference between them. He also was not a fan of John Wayne either which I found interesting. Leoni was very violent in his movies which was not really typical in the American movies. He wanted to make his stories more interesting than everything being fine and happy. Sound is 40% of the experience in his movies to make a more exaggerated feeling in his viewers. I love how every time Clint Eastwood is shown, he has his own little song. It reminds me of that movie clip of the guy explaining how important music is to a western.
