The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, What A Classic Movie

By Silvia Johnson

When it comes to watching movies these days using a good movie download service is the way to go. You can find all the great movies like the one we will review today, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a Western classic everyone should see.

The movie is based on the intertwined events of three characters. The "good" is Blondie and is played by Clint Eastwood. Angel Eyes is the "bad" played by Lee Van Cleef. Tuco is "the ugly" and Eli Wallach plays this part. These three actors combine beautifully in this epic Western.

The Western is set during the Civil War and our characters are constantly finding the events of the war all around them. At one point Angel Eyes is a Yankee commander of a prison camp where Blondie and Tuco have been captured as Confederate soldiers.

Blondie and Tuco, a Mexican bandit, have been working together as bounty hunter and wanted man. Blondie turns in Tuco for the reward out for his head, and then when the town plans to hang him, Blondie saves Tuco by shooting down the rope hanging around his neck right before the hang him. They escape and are off to the next town to collect on the higher price for Tuco's head.

Our other main character, Angel Eyes is also a bounty hunter, but not so kind. He kills for money, and truly has a cold heart. The three become opponents when a stash of stolen gold gets in all of their sights.

Blondie and Tuco learn of some stolen Army gold from a dying soldier. Each of them knows half of the location of the gold, so they need each other. When Angel Eyes learns of the gold he chases after them. The race for the gold is on.

All three men want the gold. Tuco knows half of the location of the gold, Blondie the other half, Angel Eyes is tracking them down. This comes to a head with all three men close to the gold and in a three way gunfight that is a classic movie moment. If you have never seen this Western classic, you need to see it soon.
