À propos de ce film

Clint Eastwood's second film as a director finds the celebrated action star returning to his familiar Old West stomping grounds and his internationally acclaimed role of "The Man With No Name." This time, The Stranger (Clint Eastwood) mysteriously appears out of the heat waves of the desert and rides into the lawless, sin-ridden town of Lago. After making a name for himself with a string of blazing gun battles, The Stranger is hired by the townspeople to provide protection from three ruthless gunmen just out of jail. The Stranger quickly proceeds to paint the entire town bright red, rename it "Hell," and supply divine retribution in the fiery, pulse-pounding climax of this acclaimed western shoot-em-up.

Notes et avis

Clint Eastwood is an excellent actor. He is pointing at something that many structured religions attempt to do but fail. He is pointing at something extremely powerful and spiritual in each human being. At least when you watch the movies Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, Unforgiven, the Mule, and Josey Wales. Or something like that that is at the core of every human being can only be pointed at. Joseph Campbell talks about the hero's journey, and Clint Eastwood portrays it.

This movie is literally the one-and-only #1 western movie in existence! By far my favorite!
