Not as good as reputation suggests, but it's regal or something

the good the bad and the ugly is great but i don't think of it as a "western," sort of feels like it could be happening on some alien landscape somewhere

Once Upon a Time in the West is amazing in many ways, but it also strikes me as kind of a hybrid, like maybe the most American of all the Italian westerns. Henry Fonda is incredible in it and it's hard to believe he went back to doing crap westerns like The Cheyenne Social Club immediately thereafter.

i agree. the wayne persona has inspired and shaped the ethos of countless people in the actual west for the worse, where i live. it's totally dud. i'm glad you can retreat into your sacred sanctuary of canon where your favorite art is beyond reproach though.

i too long to return to the matriarchal idyll of western civilization's pre-stagecoach years
ad absurdum aside sorry john wayne's just not rly that john wayne in a lot of john wayne movies (and if he is the movie often regards him as an asshole -- cf not just obv the searchers but also red river and iirc rio grande, altho i get the lesser rios confused)
anyway. wish cleopatra was good, love me some antony+cleo

Wayne persona was fairly comples. Art is not responsible for stupid people.
