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 three Western characters, as the title says, the good "Blondie", the bad "Angel Eyes" and the ugly "Tuco". These are played by Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach, three outstanding actors, and perfect for this movie.

The story is set in the time of the Civil War. Our characters are swept up in the war at times so we are exposed to aspects of the civil war. At one point Tuco and Blondie are taken prisoner by the Yankees because they were wearing Confederate uniforms. They arrive at the prison camp only to find Angel Eyes as the commander at the camp.

Blondie and Tuco have a strange relationship. Blondie, a bounty hunter, captured Tuco. a wanted Mexican bandit, and turned him in for the reward. When the town was hanging Tuco, Blondie shoots him free of the rope and they escape. They split up the money, more for Blondie, and repeat the event at the next town, making more money.

Angel Eyes, also a bounty hunter, is a cold blooded killer, and an opportunist. He is out for money and will let nothing stand in his way if he sees a chance to get some. Blondie and Tuco know Angel Eyes and the three are eventually going to find themselves all after the same thing.

The three characters all learn about a stash of stolen gold with Blondie and Tuco each knowing a part of where the cache of money is. Angel Eyes knows that they know where the money is. They all want to get rich.

We follow the strange alliance of Tuco and Blondie, while Angel eyes is hot on their trail. The climax is classic, with a three way gunfight in the center of the cemetery where the money is hidden in a nearby grave. "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" is one of the best Western movies of all time.
