While the scene is nice, the lack of context hurts it. It feels as if there is more that we need to know in order to fully understand what's going on. How did they get there? What happened to the woman from the picture?
I didn't think for some reason that the guitar could resemble Once Upon a time in the west (My second favourite BTW), but now that I think about it you are right!
I see the point. On the way they got chained together and got there originally they were supposed to jump out of a train, a scene I later decided to not do because I lacked of time to do it, but it was intentional to keep misterious the way that happenned. What I maybe have implied too much is in the very short flashback where the deserter hits the woman is linked to her fate (that's the "moderate sexual content"). As I'm using the same character in the next western short, I can try to explain better what happenned in that one.
I'll have to keep an eye out for your next clip. I've been working on and off on a Western inspired by Sergio Leone and it's nice to see someone else inspired by similar work. I'm looking forward to whatever you come out with next.
Thanks! It's nice for me to see other brickfilmers appreciating Leone, and you just got me interested in your work (I see some Leone-based titles there). I am planning to make a sort of personal 'dollars trilogy'. just with shorter films, and of course definitely not masterpieces as Leone's films are.
