“You see, in this world, there’s two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns. And those who dig.”
“You see, in this world, there’s two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns. And those who dig.”
— The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966), screenplay by Agenore Incrocci & Furio Scarpelli & Luciano Vincenzoni & Sergio Leone
The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Standoff. Today’s suggestion by @codyblackedout.
Trivia: In 1966 the Spanish Army built Sad Hill Cemetery with over 5000 graves at Mirandilla Valley in Burgos for the final sequence in the movie. When filming ended, the set was abandoned just like they built it and for half a century, nature has been trying to reclaim it. Then in October of 2015, a group of film fans decided to start digging… and under 3 inches of ground they found the original paved circle. For months, people from all around Europe travelled to Sad Hill to unearth and restore the iconic film set.
Dialogue On Dialogue: The dialogue is a coda for the movie’s famous standoff scene.
