Tuco and his Brothe

In memory of Eli Wallach (the actor playing "Tuco" aka "The Ugly"), I thought I would upload my favorite scene from my favorite western. This scene is in the exact middle of the movie and it is easily the most vulnerable moment for the character of Tuco. The scene is perfectly scored by the masterful Ennio Morricone who wrote some exceptionally beautiful music here that is mostly forgotten in favor of the more colorful main themes. Wallach is wonderful and just... real. He feels pain and sadness, he is hurt, angry, reactive and honest. I love that many of the statues in the scene are broken. I love the moment of shock on his brother's face after Tuco punches him. I love the whispered plea of forgiveness, I love how Tuco tries to pretend that nothing is wrong when he gets on the wagon, I love the brotherly gesture on the part of Eastwood's character as he offers him the cigar and I love the music cue when Eli smiles and the main theme leaps back into the film, hurling us back into the action. Great filmmaking and great acting. RIP Eli Wallach.
