The Great Silence (Il Grande Silenzio, 1969), is an Italian spaghetti western. It is widely considered by critics as the masterpiece of director Sergio Corbucci and is one of his better known movies, along with Django. Unlike most conventional and spaghetti westerns, The Great Silence takes place in the snow-filled landscapes of Utah.
The movie features a score by Ennio Morricone and stars Jean-Louis Trintignant as Silence, a mute gunfighter assisting a group of mormons outlawed for their beliefs and a woman trying to avenge her husband. They are set against a group of bounty hunters, led by Loco played by Klaus Kinski.
Template:Spoiler The film is famous for its bleak ending, a bloodshed where everyone remotely good gets gunned down by the greedy bounty hunters. The director was forced to shoot an alternate ending for the North African market, where the hero's death in the end would've been deemed unacceptable.
