Frases célebres de Sergio Leone

“En el Oeste el problema esencial era sobrevivir, y la mujer es un obstáculo para la supervivencia.”

“La amistad viril es uno de los temas dominantes en todas mis películas. Se debe a que soy hijo único, nacido tras catorce años de matrimonio, como si fuera un milagro. Nunca tuve el hermano que necesité.”

Sergio Leone

“Son como los niños. Unas veces resultan adorables y otras los matarías. En unas ocasiones hay que elogiarlos, en otras reñirlos. Y hay que obligarles a repetir muchas veces cada plano, porque sólo así adquieren naturalidad y autenticidad; cuando están hartos de repetir, agotados, y prácticamente fuera de sí, es cuando empiezan a trabajar de verdad, sin filigranas y sin pensar en lo que escribirán los críticos.”

Sergio Leone: Frases en inglés

“Even in the greatest Westerns, the woman is imposed on the action, as a star, and is generally destined to be “had” by the male lead. But she does not exist as a woman. If you cut her out of the film, in a version which you can imagine, the film becomes much better. In the desert, the essential problem was to survive. Women were an obstacle to survival! Usually, the woman not only holds up the story, but she has no real character, no reality. She is a symbol. She is there without having any reason to be there, simply because one must have a woman, and because the hero must prove, in some way or another, that he has "sex-appeal."”

“I am showing the Old West as it really was. Cinema takes violence from life. Not the other way around. Americans treat Westerns with too much rhetoric.”
