Once Upon a Time in the Revolution...

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2011)

... as Leone really wanted the name of this film to be. Titles can change but the essence stays the same, waiting for us to capture its truth. This is one of the most underrated westerns but in fact it 's one of the very best. The cinematography, editing, music, acting, plot, everything surpasses its own limits. It's a film that can inspire you, anger you, educate you, move you, a sweet touch from a brilliant artist. A man who takes off for money and at the end he finds friendship and desire to fight next to anyone who cares for this revolution. No need to say more, Leone' s works speak for themselves, it' s just in our own hands to watch films like this one, which remain fresh and true no matter how many years pass.
Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah... thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating and leaving to us your beautiful westerns. You are not forgotten.
