LA HISTORIA DEL CINE DE DURANGO MEXICO




La historia del cine en Durango se remonta al año 1898 cuando se filma la primera “toma” por parte de los agentes de Edison, titulada “Un tren llegando a Durango”. Varias escenas captadas resaltan los sucesos de la época, sus personajes y costumbres.


El General Revolucionario Francisco Villa es considerado el primer “actor” nacido en Durango que incursiona ante las cámaras de Hollywood. Este personaje histórico fue captado en el celuloide, luchando en las batallas de Ojinaga, Torreón y Zacatecas, bajo el mando de la Mutual Film Corporation. Este trabajo lo realiza Raoul Walsh quien llegó a ser uno de los directores más importantes del cine norteamericano y quien interpreta al joven Villa en la cinta dirigida por Christy Cobanne en 1914.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966

Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo. (original title) 


Review Summary Movie

In the last and the best installment of his so-called "Dollars" trilogy of Sergio Leone-directed "spaghetti westerns," Clint Eastwood reprised the role of a taciturn, enigmatic loner. Here he searches for a cache of stolen gold against rivals the Bad (Lee Van Cleef), a ruthless bounty hunter, and the Ugly (Eli Wallach), a Mexican bandit. Though dubbed "the Good," Eastwood's character is not much better than his opponents -- he is just smarter and shoots faster. The film's title reveals its ironic attitude toward the canonized heroes of the classical western. "The real West was the world of violence, fear, and brutal instincts," claimedLeone. "In pursuit of profit there is no such thing as good and evil, generosity or deviousness; everything depends on chance, and not the best wins but the luckiest." Immensely entertaining and beautifully shot in Techniscope by Tonino Delli Colli, the movie is a virtually definitive "spaghetti western," rivaled only by Leone's own Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). The main musical theme by Ennio Morricone hit #1 on the British pop charts. Originally released in Durango Mexico Italy at 177 minutes, the movie was later cut for its international release. ~ Yuri German, Rovi
