Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach spend nearly three hours crossing a Civil War landscape that’s essentially one big cemetery. Armies march. Bridges explode. Entire towns collapse into mud and artillery smoke. None of this particularly interests the protagonists because somebody mentioned buried gold.
Director Sergio Leone stretches everything to the breaking point: faces, silences, landscapes, gunfights, even footsteps. By the time Ennio Morricone's score reaches its famous climax, we know deep in our bones why the piece is titled ‘The Ecstasy of Gold’. It truly does not get better than THIS.
THE MORRICONE CONTRIBUTION:
Coyotes howl through human voices, electric guitar twangs across vast empty space, and trumpets announce destiny itself. It's a bizarre sonic junkyard. Whistles, cracking snares, chants, bells, and surf-rock fragments assembled into myth.
