The Good, the Bad and the Ugly/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The scene where Rebel prisoners are forced to sing loudly to drown out the sounds of Wallace beating the crap out of Tuco. Many of the prisoners are visibly weeping, as they know exactly what's happening to Tuco inside the cabin, but they can't do anything to help the poor bastard. The lyrics to the song "The Soldier" make it even sadder: Bugles are calling from prairie to shore, "Sign up" and "Fall In" and march off to war. Blue grass and cotton, burnt and forgotten All hope seems gone so soldier march on to die. Bugles are calling from prairie to shore, "Sign up" and "Fall In" and march off to war. There in the distance a flag I can see, Scorched and in ribbons but whose can it be, How ends the story, whose is the glory Ask if we dare, our comrades out there who sleep.
  • The scene where Blondie comforts the dying soldier and leaves him his jacket.
  • Tuco and his brother. It bring a lot of Alternate Character Interpretation to Tuco.
