My Name Is Nobody
"Nobody, but "Nobody," knows the trouble he's in!"
Jack Beauregard, an aging gunman of the Old West, only wants to retire in peace and move to Europe, but a young gunfighter known as "Nobody" who idolizes Beauregard wants him to go out in a blaze of glory. So, he arranges for Jack to face the 150-man gang known as The Wild Bunch and earn his place in history.
Curator's Take
“The farewell note. Henry Fonda (the old West) meets Terence Hill (the new, comedic West). Produced by Leone, it’s a loving, funny, and slightly sad deconstruction of the myth. The urinal scene is legendary.”
Why This Movie Is Important
The ultimate meta-western. Produced by Leone, it explicitly dramatizes the passing of the torch from the old, serious myths (Henry Fonda) to the new, comedic reality (Terence Hill). It is a brilliant, lovingdeconstruction of the genre, acknowledging that the time of the gunfighter has passed.
