The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Western)

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is one of, if not the most iconic western movies of all time. With the classic introductory audio clips and a younger Clint Eastwood, the movie comes across as very memorable on the surface. A lot of the movie is built on tension. There are several moments where two characters that have a beef with each other will just stare at each other for a really long time, and the first occurrence of this is very early in the film, about 5 minutes in. As for camera shots, there are a lot of close ups, pans, and establishing shots, as well as some fancy camerawork like making one character appear small as he enters through a long, straight and narrow corridor. Personally, i thought the movie was more memorable for its iconic moments than as the whole movie, especially considering its nearly 3 hour runtime. I would describe this movie like the runway scene from Fast and Furious 6, it's really long, not bad at all, but nor memorable for the right reasons.
