Once Upon A Time In The West

The movie Once Upon A Time In the West was a very good movie. It falls under the category of revisionist western and, after watching a classical western, I think that I much rather prefer the revisionist movies. They delve deeper into characters pasts, and motives and make all the characters more complex. With more complex characters allows for a more complex plot also. This movie is just the way I think a western should be, it makes you think and it gives you some good action.
The character of Harmonica is just the way that I think a western hero should be. Unlike the classical western hero, he is not a pure innocent human being with perfect morals. He seems to have an affinity for violence, he is blood thirsty and deep. We are always in the dark whether or not he is a very moral person. His true nature is never revealed to us and makes him even more mysterious. He is a strong silent type which aligns him with the classical western hero. This is the only way in which Harmonica is alike to the classical western hero though.
All in all the movie Once Upon A Time In the West is a very action filled movie that also has a deep meaning behind it. It makes you think and doesn't disappoint when you find out the truth in the end. Also it doesn't reveal all of the truth so it leaves you in the dark a little bit and I like that.
