Connor Macgregor (On Vacation) Reviews ... A Fistful Of Dollars
Now i am going to review another classic trilogy. This time i am throwing on my hat , puffing my cigar , jumping my horse as i enter the world of the western as I review A Fistful Of Dollars. The First Of The Dollars Trilogy.
A drifter gunman arrives in the Mexican village of San Miguel at the border of United States of America, and befriends the owner of the local bar Silvanito. The stranger discovers that the town is dominated by two gangster lords: John Baxter and the cruel Ramón Rojo. When the stranger kills four men of the Baxter's gang, he is hired by Ramón's brother Esteban Rojo to join their gang. However, the stranger decides to work for both sides, playing one side off against the other.
This film is a classic. Clint Eastwood is just amazing in this role. This role is filled with mystery throughout the whole film and all we know is that he has come to help this city at civil war. Eastwood steals the show from the start. He is so mysterious and also so cool. The story is so brilliant. Two selfish groups of gunman who want full control of their town. And only The Man With No Name can resolve it...and he chooses to do it the hard way.
Other great actors in this film are Jose Calvo as Silvanito who reminds me a lot of Jon Pertwee in a way. But never the less he is excellent in the role. I also love the evil brothers in the film. They are just so down right evil including Ramon played by Gian Maria Volonte. He has some sort of evil in his performance which makes the film work.
Overall , The first film is a western classic. Eastwood`s performance changed the western genre overnight and cemented himself in film history.
