Italy was the country most devoted to it, where we highlight the director Sergio Leone who made the best-known western European countries (The Good the Bad and the Ugly, For a Few price, etc..) Hence this "new subgenre" acquired the name of spaghetti westerns and so its greatest exponent was Sergio Leone and actor Clint Eastwood.
Spain was a good place to shoot westerns because I had all the qualities of the arid American West, Almeria was a key stage in dozens of films.
Among the peculiarities of the spaghetti western classic western regard to (the name of the original so to speak) is the abundance of large close-ups of the faces of the protagonists with particular emphasis on looks, all very typical of European cinema abound such frames and zooms.
There is also a variation on the theme of the stories and characters, revenge is the subject par excellence, the heroes are not great prototypes to follow, sometimes presented as anti-heroes have their flaws, show incomplete and morally Unlike the classic western remain so throughout history, arguably no remedy and the most curious is that the antagonist and it is quite similar. Everything can be because in Europe there is no need to dignify those who fought for the construction of American civilization (to justify that it is a good thing) as mainlynte we are in another continent. The western European
also characterized by violence and those endless duels where something very important were these gestures and looks that made the duelists.
Music is something that differentiates them more modern and avant-garde music so full of rhythms sounding said, there is more to hear the main theme of Death was a price for example.
American critics were those who gave their name to this subgenre in a derogatory way, because they could not match the original and copy something out of their culture.
But the truth is that while these films are made with lower budgets have become some great gems of cinema may be recoverederden much more than any other western classical and managed to destroy it and demystify what they expected. American critics were those who gave their name to this subgenre in a derogatory way, because they could not match the original and copy something out of their culture.
Then came the time to spaghetti, Sergio Leone spaghetti with attempted irony peculiar to that subject until the Yankees finally burying it, but ended up digging his own grave, with its new generation of films also brought an end to spaghetti that it was popular, the characters no longer moved by honor, were acts that equated to bad, it got so high with this that could not continue and somehow ended up with their own gender. latter film he formed the 2nd trilogy more focused on the true construction of America, led to the emergence in the 70, 80 of antiwestern taking aspects of both genders (assembly and treatment of classical and ideology of spaghetti) these films ended up with all that is understood by western even dared to jump in time and set in the present and mixed with other genres. Today enjoy movies we can not clearly set in the West but if present many of its themes and treatments, hand antiwestern still reigns of directors like Tarantino, Clint Eastwood or John Woo.
