26. Story of my first kiss

i’m gonna tell the first kiss that actually mattered. October 2nd, Dev and I had been dating for a lil over a month now, and we decided to go on a date through a park a few blocks away. We were talking and holy fuck did i want to kiss her then, but because its new york, there was always someone walking right by us and it never seemed like a good time. We then went to get boba tea and headed back to her dorm. We stopped and were talking outside the dorm building and I was gonna kiss her then cause we just got done our date and it seemed like a perfect time… but then her mom called… kinda killed the mood. We went back to her dorm and after a bit, her roommates went out together leaving us alone. After cuddling for a bit, i leaned in for the kiss and… yeah. that’s the first kiss that mattered to me.

This shot (sorry for crap quality).

I’m not gonna over analyze this movie cause it’s probably been done a hundred times over already, but this shot in particular isn’t really talked about that much. Maybe it’s cause it’s after the famous three way duel between Blondie, Tuco, and Angel Eyes, or maybe it’s just that it’s another beautiful shot in an already beautiful movie. Either way, this shot’s pretty under appreciated.

Just seeing Tuco, ecstatic over the gold they just found, looks up to try and show Blondie but is only met with a noose. The gold falling from his hands as he’s perfectly in frame inside the loop of the noose, it really is just a beautiful shot.
