Clint Eastwood Westerns / For a few dollars more question

« on: February 11, 2005, 10:52:54 PM »

Okay, so I am watching for a few dollars more and I couldn't help but notice Indio.

Beyond the fact that he's a psychopathic killer with very little concious, but of course that's obvious.

What I was thinking is a little more indepth and probably pretty much no way of knowing if its true or not.

My theory is this (and probably outragous but work with me.)
Indio could have a STD - my guess, syphilis.
Untreated the second stage includes fever, headache, fatigue etc.  Left untreated this could effect his nervous system and cause mental illness (perhaps attributing to Indio's psychopathology.)

I always attributed Indio's flash backs to the rape of Mortimer's sister, and her suicide to be a real event.  The idea also occured to me that it probably wasn't the first time he had his way with an innocent, or a women of "loose morals."

I hope this all makes sense the way I have writen it.  I am sure it's just a crazy idea but I thought it was fun.
Any suggestions?

Oh man, I love Buster Keaton!
I have the general - AMAZING, he did all of his own stunts and everything.  I love the deadpan look on his face through the whole thing.

I totally agree - I love his acting, and directing style.  He seems to still find the creative spark in a media that continues to just try to revamp old ideas.

Hey! I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to the board!

My name is Sarah and I just love Clint Eastwood!  I think I first fell in love with him in his westerns, probably TGTBATU.  Unforgiven is also a really great flick that I loved.

One of Clint's most enduring traits to me was his voice, that and his smile. 

Oh a little side note, when Clint drags Tuco into town to collect the bounty, Tuco screams:
"I Hope you end up in a graveyard!" - How very fitting.  I am sure you all knew that though!

Well that's all for me!
Ta-ta!

Howdy! Just wanted to say hi and post a question.

My friend and I have been arguing - and it's about this.  Is TGBATU a prequel to FFOD and FAFDM?

I realize that TGBATU was made last in 1966, but that doesn't mean anything (just look at Starwars).

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I didn't see it on the site.

Thanks very much in advance!
