Once Upon A Time In The West

So maybe not the best film i've ever seen but it was pretty typical of a western.
The constant Harmonica theme is one that i can't decide whether it's a great theme or just really irritating.
An hour in and i was still trying to work out if anything was really going to happen in the film. A bunch of people pointing guns at each other from time to time and riding around on horses doesn't make a good film, just a boring one. I found this film really dull.
I do have to admire the main female role in the film. She was brilliant and not just a pathetic damsel in distress. The way that she delivered some of her lines with passion and managed to fire a gun was awesome and lovely to see in a typical western. Resistance is great to see and not something that is expected in this genre.

Made in 1968 and definitely showing it, a pleasant rebellion against the norms of 1968 but nothing more than that.

What did you think?
