Leone, the director of "The Golden Three", in the limited western genre framework and character relationships, directly sneaked into a Civil War film - a mutilated rear/prisoner of war camp/front line, with an absurd, black humor and compassionate perspective. Of course, the two are a bit of a fight and dissolution between them, just like the two protagonists.
The film takes place during the American Civil War. Tuko is a thief of Jiangyang who wants to make money and kill people, so he is wanted by the town for a reward. Brandy, a tyrannical cowboy, inadvertently captures Tucco, but kidnaps him when the bounty is not enough. In the desert, Brandi punishes Tucco for leaving him to fend for himself.
But the deceitful Tucco escaped the disaster and gathered some accomplices to capture Brandi at the inn. As Tuco tortures Brandi tit-for-tat, he kidnaps a soldier named Carson. The latter left the treasure's secret before dying, and Tucco and Brandi each received half of the information. Meanwhile, a cunning killer, Santanza, discovers the treasure's secrets through other sources. Therefore, on the road of treasure hunting, the three people did their best to stage a good showdown.
Another way to jump out of the Western genre designed in the film is to make Ugly (Tuco) the real protagonist, dissolve the heroic narrative, the triangle is a piece of gun, and the mystery revealed in the back shows the audience that Bad has no choice, Good (Brandy) has already made double insurance, only Ugly's choice is the focus of this play, a person who constantly lies and tells the truth.
In fact, the other characters in the film (including Bad) are tool people, and Leone really cares about the same as "Once Upon a Time in America", which is the emotional relationship between two men who are abusive and inseparable from each other, this strange and strange relationship, like two broken bodies, the upper and lower parts of the exposed upper and lower bodies at the moment of the explosion, only unity is complete.
