No, he went at just the right time to not go through nu-hollywood

>He died at the age of 60 from a heart attack, which was most likely resulted from his eating habits. He had an infamous love for food and gained weight throughout his life until he was borderline obese in the 1980s.

America killed him.

>>80669662
All those movies are maybe above average.

>>80671540
If you think these films are maybe above average, then what do you consider as good movies?

I honestly don't know if I would enjoy his movies without Morricone

>>80671410
I genuinely like Lynch's dune. Its not flawless by any means but I can blame a lot of the problems on the studio and Dino.

Hell even their shitty movies are breddy gud.

>>80671878
This is actually a very interesting thought. When people think of the greatest moments in Leone's films, they're most likely thinking of scenes where Morricone's scores are used very effectively (such as the stand off between Harmonica and Frank).

However, Leone is also a master at character introduction, perhaps one of the greatest in film history. And some of his shots contain such great aesthetics and symbolism, which I respect him a lot for.

But you made a good point, his films would be weaker without Morricone.

>>80671975
That's the shit version though. In italian it's "hijo de una gran putaaa-coyote scream".

>if you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?
Tuco is the best.

>when you realize Sergio Leone was just one year older than Clint Eastwood

>>80671975
>>80672064
I mean you're not wrong, then again using Morricone effectively is part of the director's job too, just like getting the best out of an actor.

It's not bad, but it was their attempt to go more audience friendly. You can see the quality drop when compared to, say, Brother where art thou

>>80669662
A Fistful of Dollars wasn't his first movie. He directed some mediocre peplums, that probably nobody outside Italy has seen.

Robert Bresson never made a bad movie.

>>80669662
>Once upon a time in the West

Okay, that one was pretty damn good.

Is a fistful of dynamite good? Ive never heard of it before.

>>80672887
Yes. I'd say it's better than Fistful.

Luis Buñuel?

Is Sergio /ourguy/?

>>80672352
To be honest it was very mediocre. Technically it's great, so it's not director's problem but they fucked up the scenes from the "future". You can cut it short, maybe add a scene showing how Cheyney or whatever was his name kills Mattie's father and it would be better just because of it. The only thing they've achieved was a visibly failed attempt at making the light-hearted story(unavoidable - the main plotline is ridiculous as Wayne said back in the times - reminded him of Mark Twain) dramatic and sad, because as we all know dramatic and sad movies are deep.

>>80672479
He directed literally one movie before that and it was only one of his films that OP didn't mention.

The acting is fine. All actors do their character justice, Clint is the mysterious stranger, Van Cleef is a snake-like character, Eli plays a great unpredictable greedy man. And the chemistry between Clint and Eli is fucking top notch.

>dialogue
What's wrong with this? I rewatched it a month or so ago and I noticed that there wasn't any unnecessary exposition dialogue or cringe inducing lines.

>shots
Come on now. The final standoff is a piece of damn good editing and cinematography. Leone uses wide lenses to capture the scale of the west, and shows how big the journey is that the characters have to make. There's also some good symbolism in some shots.
What would you have done to improve on the shots? What is it you don't like about them?

James Cameron's filmography is the most unbelievable imo.

With two exceptions every movie he made made more money than the previous.

Film made it to preproduction and everything until he had a heart attack

>it was him finally returning to film after an extended break when the producers mutilated once upon a time in america without telling him

He was too good for this world

>>80677868
those are just cliche western shots in the last scene

also, in the rest of the movie he literally always does the same shot


the fact that most actors are actually dubbed is a huge turndown too

>>80674899
It's true re watching these kind of films in Italian is great because when it's dubbed into English parts of the original script are lost in translation so for you to experience the full film you gotta watch the original Italian dub where the script remains intact this is true for django, the big gundown, day of anger, for a few dollars more, the great silence

>>80675260
You watch your mouth fucker that movie was great

>>80672887
It's different
A good film sure, but I wouldn't put it in the same league as the rest of his films

>>80678010
you're right but nonetheless his only bad movie is Piranha 2 and it barely counts as a Cameron film. Avatar is pretty mediocre too so I'll give you that one.

A Fistful of Dynamite is perhaps his masterpiece, but it's the least understood. Because it's his most "European" film. It's him deconstructing the Zapata western and Zeitgeist of 60's Italy. It's not Maoist in the slightest; but films like El Chuncho were communist propaganda (and damn fun cinema), which Leone criticized. He saw all ideologies are different sides of a same coin, hence the scene where Juan tell John the revolution is bullshit and the throws his Bakunin book in the mud in disgust. It's about the endless tragedies of broken families and friendships. One character loses his best friend, the other loses his family. It's all absurd and meaningless.

And cinematically, it's so much more vibrant and complex than his previous films. Only in OUATIAmerica does he display the same level of maturity.

>>80677340
It literally doesn't matter
But each one chroologically is longer than the previous one so...

>>80678081
>those are just cliche western shots in the last scene
Maybe, but they are kino cliche western shots

>>80675611
He co-directed another peplum in 1959.

>>80678190
Dynamite seemed like an experiment almost to me. It also felt a bit like it wasn't sure on it was entirely supposed to be, its identity seemed muddled.

Once upon a time in America is the sort of film I struggle to believe could even be made, by anyone. It's pretty much flawless

>>80678081
>those are just cliche western shots in the last scene
Name a few westerns that did it before GBU and used it to this potential.

>>80678081
>he literally always does the same shot
No he doesn't. Plenty of wides, mediums and closes are there, all used in an effective manner.

Dynamite was a complicated production, he wasn't originally supposed to direct it. However I think it's full of treasures, the more I see it, the more my love for it grows. Also, there are a lot of visual ideas, or experiments like you said, which surface again in America. A lot of thematic similarities as well. He very much had OUATIA in mind when he mind, and it also helped him make it better.

America, he worked on the project for almost twenty years. This level of passion and obsession is something we cannot see anymore. The only exception is Fury Road.

>>80678393
This desu. I wonder if the ending would actually make some sense in the original cut instead of shitting on the whole movie.

Let me enlighten you

>>80679813
From Assault on Precinct 13 to They Live he was a God. However, he went spiraling downhill after They Live. In the Mouth of Madness is good though.

>>80679813
Carpenter made many great films and even more shitty films. I'm glad he still does music tho, Lost Themes albums are magnificent.

>>80679909
>>80679813
I'll take that back actually. He made plenty of great films but his quality went down fast. There aren't that many bad films that he directed.

>>80675900
If you're talking about Kubrick yeah

>>80679909
>even more shitty films.
Nah, his filmography is more good than bad.

>>80680354
see >>80679977

I checked his filmography and there weren't that many bad movies.

>>80669662
For a Few Dollars More is his only really good movie. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly succeeds only because of Eastwood playing an iconic character.

Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the most boring movies I've seen. There's 1.5 hours of material at most, stretched out to nearly 3.

It's debatable for some of the others, but those are trying very hard to be European.
