Watch My Name Is Nobody For Free

Lack of good storyline.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I have said it before and I will say it again: "I am not a big fan of the Western genre but I know a good Western when I see one". My Name is Nobody is a good Spaghetti Western comedy film - one of the best I have ever seen.I was 1 years old when this movie came out - yes I saw it when I was an older kid (maybe 10 or 11 years old?) - anyway, after I first saw it I became a fan of the film and the entire series of Trinity films.I do agree with other reviewers that the humor in 'My Name is Nobody' is subtle (quiet) - it's not obvious as in "Blazing Saddles". And yes the bar room scene is the funniest.One should watch all three of the films: They Call Me Trinity (1970), Trinity is Still My Name (1971) then My Name is Nobody (1973).9.5/10

I recommend "My Name is Leone" (by chaos-rampant from Greece, 4 June 2009). Also, "Stylish To A Fault" (Bill Slocum from Greenwich, CT United States, 4 February 2013).'My Name is Nobody' tells a really interesting story, but fails to reach the heights that it should have. This is one of the few movies I've seen where the cinematography (Giuseppe Ruzzolini) is really endearing, while the direction (Tonino Valerii) is paces behind. Assuming that Leone directed the bar-shooting-scene and the mens' bathroom scene, visual improvement seems needed with the rest.The story spoofs Spaghetti Westerns (particularly Leone's own recent catalog) in a manner that kills off the tension the inevitable cinematic duels usually invite. One could say that by having a gunslinger who can move faster than humanly possible, so we see sped-up motion that is slapstick in nature, that Leone is mocking his own repeated use of a cinematic gunslinger (e.g., Bronson, Eastwood) who can move quick enough that he is comfortable in duels with at least three opponents. Leone is poking fun at himself, at the expense of serious tension here.The writing is a bit choppy, and the dialogue is drawn out. The pacing is slow. Henry Fonda particularly seems in no hurry to say his lines. He's good, though. Same as Terrence Hill.The relationship between Terrence Hill's "Nobody" and Henry Fonda's "Jack Bauregard" is the strongest part of it. 'Nobody' seems to be an alter-ego of Bauregard, sent from the future. He's so easy-going that he seems retired (as Bauregard wants to be). He's also the cartoonishly skilled and quick gunsligner, which again is Bauregard (on a good day). And, by insisting that his name is "Nobody" he's being as inscrutable as Bauregard might get to be in retirement.As an alter-ego (posing as Doppleganger--he becomes an alter-ego with the film's final scene), 'Nobody' is Bauregard's own sense of adventure encouraging himself to retire in style. (By fighting the "Wild Bunch", an improbable, 150-strong army of outlaws on horseback.) With such an interesting relationship between two characters in a Western, too bad it didn't reach its fullest potential.Also, note that the film explicitly mentions Sam Peckinpah (i.e., a name on a grave) and features an army of terrorists called "The Wild Bunch." Should we think that Leone is "Nobody" who admires (and constantly trails, the legendary) Peckinpah? "My Name is Nobody" is a must-see for spaghetti western completists, art-house types and/or cult-film goers. It doesn't compare with Leone's best for dramatic tension, but has appealing qualities.

Unlike the "Trinity"-films with Bud Spencer, "Il mio nome e nessuno" ("My Name is Nobody") is more of a hybrid between the above mentioned light-hearted Fun-Westerns, directed by Enzo Barboni or Michele Lupo, and those grim, yet psychedelically humorous Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone (who wrote the script for this movie).For one, we have Henry Fonda (as fading gunslinger Jack Beauregard), playing his scenes as straight-faced as he had in any US-Westerns since the beginning of the century. More impressive yet is the performance of Terence Hill, who merges his worn "Trinity"-character, jovial, likable buffoon yet "Lucky Luke"-compatible gunslinger, who can shoot faster than his shadow), with a character that often makes us wonder "could 'Nobody' be psychotic?" Terence Hill plays the character 'Nobody' as a mixture of admiring fan and stalker, leaving us wondering until the very end, whether he just admires Beauregard or whether he admires him so much, that he'd get Beauregard killed."Il mio nome e nessuno" is, in my opinion, wrongfully compared to the "Trinity" westerns – although I'm a fan of those as well, they remain comparable simple Spaghetti-Westerns compared to "Il mio nome e nessuno".The highlight of Terence Hills (solo)-career and one of the few European Western films that deserve to be taken serious by fans of 'serious' Western films.

The story goes that Sergio Leone felt like he had to top the Italian box office earnings of "They Call Me Trinity" so he came up with the idea for "My Name is Nobody." This lavish international production is a comedy about hero worship and a commentary about American westerns as much as it constitutes a comment about Spaghetti westerns. By the 1970s the Europeans had exhausted the western. According to Sir Christopher Frayling, the Spaghetti western had run its course and had slipped into self-parody, and "My Name is Nobody" exemplified the changing fortunes of the genre. If Clint Eastwood represented the serious, cynical Italian westerns as an iconic hero, then Terence Hill epitomized the low-brow, comedic Euro western hero. Indeed, Leone appropriates some of the things that made Nobody reminiscent of Trinity. Terence Hill drew his six-gun with blinding speed, and he wore his charisma on his sleeve. He was an extremely likable lad and you have to admire the lengths that his anonymous gunslinger went to so that he could immortalize his idol Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda), a legendary gunslinger in his own right. Earlier, Fonda had played a cast-iron villain in Leone's undisputed masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in the West," but here he plays a good guy who is deadly swift on the draw. The problem is Jack is growing old and his sight is beginning to suffer. If any actor other than John Wayne represented the essence of the American western, it would have to be Henry Fonda. Fonda has starred in his share of classic oaters, among them "Fort Apache," "The Oxbow Incident," and "Warlock." When he starred in Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West," he played a villain as he would in a James Stewart western "Firecreek." This movie is essentially the crossroads of two genres: the traditional American western crosses trails with the revisionist European western, and this distinguishes "My Name is Nobody." It should come as no surprise that parts of "Nobody," like "Once Upon a Time" were lensed in American and a large part of the cast is American. Although it is uneven and "Day of Anger" director Tonino Valerii lacks Leone's operatic staging qualities, "My Name is Nobody" still emerges as a worthwhile western. Incidentally, Sergio Corbucci had used the idea as early as 1964 about a gunfighter with ailing eyesight in in "Minnesota Clay." Anyway, Valerii worked with Leone, and he knew how to stage a scene and make it look good, but he doesn't have the gimlet eye that Leone possessed. Moreover, Leone's westerns and his crime movies are realistic, cynical, and mean-spirited. "My Name is Nobody" is more comic. For example, for sheer hilarity examine the wonderful whiskey glass shooting scene in the bar. Valerii does an exceptional job with it. The opening shoot-out in the barber shop is textbook Leone. The wide angle shot where you see Fonda shoot three men is spectacular. Reportedly, Leone is said to have staged it. Ennio Morricone provides a beautiful score, and the familiar western theme of an older man teaching a younger man is reversed here in classic style. Unlike the Henry Fonda/Tony Perkins' western "The Tin Star," where the older man saved the younger man, Nobody saves Jack Beauregard. Most Spaghetti western spoofs, like the "Trinity" movies were essentially hillbilly westerns with good jokes, "My Name is Nobody" is a comedy, but it has something serious to say. The dialogue is occasionally distinctive: "Two things go straight to a man's heart: bullets and gold." Leone and Vallerii scare up some veteran American character actors, including R.G. Armstrong, Leo Gordon, and Geoffrey Lewis. Sometimes, a scene or two will wear out its welcome, but considering the epic nature and the cinematic referencing, "My Name is Nobody" is a must-see for Spaghetti western fans and western movie fans in general.
