Massacre Time (1966)

Massacre Time (1966), dir. Lucio Fulci

"The beating or torture of the hero is the most common element of the [spaghetti western] genre’s liminal narrative, reappearing in Leone’s For A Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly as well numerous other films... In Massacre Time (Fulci 1966) the whipping of the main character Tom Corbett is particularly elaborated on in a long, brutal scene... This liminal narrative is charged with Catholic overtones. It is surprising that this aspect of the genre has not received much comment by the few scholars that have analyzed it, though Frayling (1998a) does briefly describe it in his biography of Sergio Leone. Repeated in literally hundreds of films, this narrative is exaggerated at times to ridiculous proportions, heightened intensities, and often vicious brutality. Something is at stake here. These films symbolized and dramatized a central concern to a socially, culturally, and geographically displaced audience. What should be the relationship between the masculine individual, collective action, consumerism, and family?" - BEATEN, SHOT, CRUCIFIED: THE LIMINAL HERO OF THE CARNIVALESQUE WESTERN ALLA’ITALIANA

Le colt cantarono la morte e fu... tempo di massacro (Massacre Time, 1966)

"But dear Jeremiah, how can you abandon the land where you've lived, where your dead are buried?"

"I don't have any dead buried here."

"You do now."
