trad. di Eugenio Balduzzi in 16°, bross. edit. ill., lievissima rottura al dorso
ill., br. C'era un volta il cinema western. Grandi praterie, eroi senza macchia, indiani cattivi, fanciulle da salvare, buoni sentimenti. Poi arrivò Sergio Leone. Almeria e Cinecittà, pistoleri sporchi e barbuti, simpatici messicani unti e bisunti, cinismo e violenza. Da "per un pugno di dollari" in poi il cinema del selvaggio ovest si è completamente modificato, grazie (o per colpa) di quei lungometraggi "made in Italy", sporchi, cattivi e senza speranza, ma anche ironici, parodistici, pieni di antieroi dai nomi biblici, da Trinità a Spirito Santo, che si sono succeduti sugli schermi di tutto il mondo per più di un decennio. Qualche centinaio, per l'esattezza. E sono tutti qui. In questo dizionario. Lo spaghetti western è morto. Lunga vita allo spaghetti western.
I film western ci fanno vedere le carovane con i carri, ma non ci dicono nulla dei carri stessi, della durata del viaggio, del cibo e della vita quotidiana dei pionieri. Ci parlano del Far West, senza dirci cosa esso fosse in realtà; ci fanno vedere sceriffi e saloon, senza che possiamo saperne la storia e come essi fossero per davvero; ci fanno vedere locomotive sbuffanti e battelli a vapore, ma non ci dicono nulla di essi; ci mostrano soldati a cavallo e i loro forti, ma non ci parlano della loro vita quotidiana. Vediamo gli Indiani, generalmente mostratici come cattivi, senza quasi mai dircene i motivi. Questo elenco potrebbe continuare a lungo: cowboys, tipi di case di indiani e pionieri, corse all'oro, bordelli, assegnazione della terra ai pionieri... Se qualcuno ha curiosità al riguardo, potrà trovare delle risposte, non pedanti, in questo libro. Autori: Giovanni Maglioni.
