Once
Upon a Time in the West by Sergio Leone has a lot of sound
elements, one wouldn’t notice if they hadn’t stopped to listen. There is so
much sound going on in the just the beginning of the film. It makes you wonder
how much sound one misses when standing alone. Since this is a western film, the sound as
well as the visual elements places the viewer in the atmosphere of being out in
the desolate lands of a western.
I’m not a very big fan of westerns, but after seeing
and listening to this film, I am rather intrigued to watching / listening other
ones now. Next time I go out into the desert, I am going
to have to stop and listen to the surroundings. Who knows, I might hear buzzards, tumble weeds
blowing by the wind, insects and maybe a rattle snake.
