few of us do not believe that the Western is the genre par excellence. Iconography, the burden of symbolism and many other features make it the most fertile ground possible to illustrate a multitude of stories and universal themes. The boundary between good and evil, the coming of modernity to leave the past behind, the notion of justice, the search, redemption, the creation myth ng Etceteras and many more.
However, surprising as in recent decades the genre has been so abandoned. We are in a time when it is always easier reference crude, the mere mention or citation, that a greater understanding of the possibilities of the genre and the creation of works that take advantage of their wealth. Honoring, but properly. Thus, there are few examples of Westerns of recent decades that have hit the jackpot. After Peckinpah, Clint Eastwood might be Kevin Costner's best approached him. Every so often there are remakes ( The 3:10 am train to Yuma, or the great genre exercise with Coen True Grit) and we can see clear traces of Western in movies like Kill Bill Vol 2 and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada .
Beyond the recipes, nothing indicates that an animated film, absolutely crazy, which runs today and is featuring a chameleon, can not be a perfect western.
So we range, the first major surprise of the year. A film that, beyond its absurd humor, shows a great knowledge and love of film, achieving a flawless narration (very difficult to achieve with its constant changes of tone), with well-marked path of the hero.
References are many and of all kinds. What counts is the Leone Spaghetti Western with Eastwood, but we also have Ford, Hawks, Peckinpah, the appointed time. There are films from other genres also honored as Apocalypse Now and Panic and Madness in Las Vegas . The plot refers to Chinatown. In any case, references are provided and are fully functional used.
Beyond perfection in terms of animation, which attracts attention is the flawless design of creatures, thought to characterize and breathe life into the characters. With stunning designs, attention to detail and the voices of actors seriously, moles, birds, snakes and turtles become miners, farmers, gunmen and the elderly.
Another thing that overwhelms you is the picture perfect. Each level teaches us that the film is full of possibilities, there are thousands of ways to illustrate an event. Y in search range that we can achieve amazing results. Everything becomes clear when we learned that the consultant on the subject is the director of photography Roger Deakins.
I get critic of The Nation and continue listing items. Now it's up to the music. After the pomposity of Origin , Hans Zimmer's friend was rescued, and put together a soundtrack of unforgettable, along with Los Lobos, with a mariachi owls anticipate, like a Greek chorus, the fate of our hero.
In conclusion, we have noticed Range that I liked. And I did not even mention that Johnny Depp puts the main character's voice, or appearing Hunter Thompson, or that the scene across the highway crestfallen hero shook me like few times, not that ....
