Mini-Review: Why have I not rate this film yet?! Nonetheless, I am absolutely enamored with this film. Watch it for yourselves; it inspired me to listen to Dennis Brown (he has an incredible song in there called "Things in Life").

Mini-Review: An astounding documentary: very honest, very emotional, and very true. For a recent film, it has a very grubby 70s-80s underground look, which I admire as poignant and inspirational.

Mini-Review: A crazy quirk in Hollywood, this is a film with a lot of spirit. "Inspirational" is the least one can say about it.

Mini-Review: I have some very small issues with this film, but nothing I can remember clearly or off the top of my head! The presentation is truly incredible--when I heard the music, albeit a bit repetitive, I was floored. It's one of my favorite soundtracks now. A lot of styles in anime and recent action films have derived from Leone's works, and this film in particular. This is a very original film, and few other (maybe none!) westerns top it.

Mini-Review: Yes, this is a brilliant film. Truthfully, it did have some dull moments--"stalls"--so no, it's not perfect, along with some shaky camera dollies (understandable, back then, but the lighting is fantastic). However, the acting is just terrific. The themes and allegories to real life are very moving and disturbing, as is the trial scene, which says volumes about society...a scene I will remember forever, one of the few great moments in cinema history.
