The film I chose to do a critical analysis of the cinematic elements of is "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is a 1966 Spaghetti Western film, directed by Sergio Leone, it was marketed as the third installment of what became known as the Dollars Trilogy. The film is about three outlaws during the civil war that try to outsmart each other in a journey to unearth a fortune in stolen gold buried in an unmarked grave.

It's not hard to see why The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is so critically acclaimed, and why I would recommend everyone to watch
