Abstract

In this thesis, I am going to show the music connections between The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and The Hateful Eight. I will firstly talk about Morricone’s film scoring approach in Western Movies, in terms of composition techniques and instrumentation. Examples will be listed from previous western movies he has scored, i.e. A Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More as these two are closely related to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Then I will talk about how he used the same approach in writing music for these two movies, in the same list of category as in the discussion of Morricone’s film scoring approach in Western movies. All these will prove the new gun – The Hateful Eight resonates with the old gun – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
