deux heures en apesanteur (1317)
A murky, unfocused, violent and depressing version of the classic story,
with little of the lightheartedness and romance we expect from Robin
Hood. It's shot mostly at night or in gloomy forests, beneath overcasts
or by flickering firelight or in gloomy dungeons, which is all very well
for the atmosphere, but makes the action scenes almost impossible to
follow [...]. The music is your standard rum-dummy-dum false epic dirge kind of stuff.
The editing is desperate. The most depressing thing about the movie is
that children will attend it expecting
to have a good time.
Roger Ebert

une citation de temps en temps (123)
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly
as well with pizza.

deux heures en apesanteur (1316)
Although he made more than enough crappy films during his active years as a one-man, non-stop Italian film factory, at his best Sergio Corbucci ranks up there with Sergio Leone as one of the makers of some of the greatest Spaghetti westerns ever. Alongside his other masterpiece Django (1966), The Big Silence is probably Corbucci’s best film in the genre. Without a doubt, it is also one of the most disheartening westerns ever
to be made anywhere.

I massacri di 1898, l'anno del Grande Freddo, suscitarono finalmente la pubblica condanna dei cacciatori di taglie che, in un clima di falsa legalità, avevano fatto della violenza omicida un esecrando sistema di vita.
Si dice che a Snow Hill un'iscrizione rimase a lungo leggibile sul posto della strage :
I PASSI DELL'UOMO POTRANNO PER MILLE ANNI CALPESTARE QUESTO LUOGO, MAI POTRANNO CANCELLARE IL SANGUE DI COLORO CHE QUI CADDERO.
