Hmmm?

are you serious ?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yes, I'm afraid I am. I get confused easily.

Yes he does know it's Max. It's when Noddles walks outside and the garbage truck comes along that it becomes a bit make your own mind up.
Is it a simile about Noddles avoiding the last 35yrs of garbage that Max has had as a gangster, or has Noodles had Max dealt with, or can't he be bothered.
I suppose the ending you imagine has a bearing on your own personality.

personally think you're reading too much into it, max tops himself because he knows he will be topped before he gets to court , he hasnt been a gangster for the last 35 years anyway, hes been a corrupt politician/businessman.

I love most of the Sergio Leone films i've seen but didn't really get the fuss about this, much prefer the Dollars trilogy or Once Upon a Time In The West

 

[CHAPPERS]

Righto! I'm a bit dim with films sometimes, plus it was 3 hours in!

The film certainly is scored excellently.

but my version is the correct one

Ennio Morricone wrote some stunning musical scores.

My favourites are the main themes from Once Upon A Time In The West and A Fistful of Dynamite.

 

[Don Quixote]

I HATE panpipes...

Have you noticed that the music 'Il Trio' - the three-way draw scene at the end of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is being used more and more in movies and on TV. It's a kind of music box tinkling, before building to a crescendo - adding to the tension - and some awesome trumpet playing, all interspersed with looking at all three protagonists' pained expressions.

I LOVE panpipes, probably a reflection of my laidback,chilled personality.

You can't build to a crescendo
