三位主角分别指片名中的好人、坏人和丑恶之人。三人在美国南北战争期间趁着政局混乱,打算谋夺一批属于南方政府的财富,但每个人只知道一部分藏金的细节,必须联合起来才可以取得全部的钱。于是三人既互相利用又勾心斗角,产生不少有趣的笑料和张力十足的戏剧性对峙。


The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is an epic 1 spaghetti western released in 1966. It was directed by Sergio Leone, and starred Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach in the title roles. Director of photography Tonino Delli Colli was responsible for the film's sweeping 2 widescreen cinematography and Ennio Morricone composed the famous film score, including its main theme. It is the third film in the Dollars Trilogy following A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and For a Few Dollars More (1965). The plot revolves 3 around three gunslingers competing to find a fortune in buried gold amid the violent chaos 4 of gunfights, hangings, American Civil War battles and prison camps in 19th-century America.


 


The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was criticized for how much violence it showed. Leone explains that "the killings 5 in my films are exaggerated because I wanted to make a tongue-in-cheek satire 6 on run-of-the-mill [ordinary] westerns". He added: "The west was made by violent, uncomplicated men, and it is this strength and simplicity 7 that I try to recapture in my pictures." The film is still one of the most popular and well-known westerns ever and is considered to be one of the greatest of its genre 8. It is in Time magazine's "100 Greatest Movies of the Last Century". Quentin Tarantino has called it "the best-directed film of all time" and "the greatest achievement in the history of cinema".
