Man With No Name Quotes
This is a question I tried to find an answer off of a comment by Napoleon on a different question.The man with no name is the central character in what is commonly called the ', i.e., ', ' and '.During the three movies, the central character as portrayed by Clint Eastwood is seen wearing the same clothing, and acting with the same mannerisms. He is referred to as Joe one time (And credited as such) in Fistful, 'Manco' in Dollars More, and Blondie in Good/Bad/Ugly.Are each of these three the same character, or are they different characters with the same (non) name?
(Also note, which may be relevant, the director Leone did not intend for these to be a trilogy, that was a marketing decision, and Fistful is an unofficial remake of a Japanese film called Yojimbo). Just a small clarification regarding Eastwood character's name: In For a Few Dollars More he is known as Manco and according to this Wiki link: The Italian word for 'Manco' is 'first-person singular present indicative of mancare' which according to this next Wiki link (sorry about this by the way): The verb 'Mancare' can mean 'missing' or 'absent'.

Best Romantic Sayings For Her
Eastwood's called 'Manco' in the Italian prints (andin at least one American print), he's more mercenary than he was inthe previous film, and he talks about wanting to use his money to (getthis) retire! His character's morality is even more pragmatic than ithad been in A Fistful of Dollars, where at least he does what hedoes in order to protect the innocent. There is a certain bond ofhonor with Colonel Mortimer; but most of what Eastwood's Manco does inthe film is consistent with the bounty-killer amorality ascribed tohim from the onset.Yet poncho and cigar, stubble and squint persist through all threeEastwood/Leone films. If the characters portrayed by Eastwood are notsupposed to be the same man, it is at least fair to treat them asvariations on a theme. As a kid I thought they were but I bought the trilogy a few years ago and was struck with that question, not because of the name differences, that can be explained away as he is a drifter and using the same name too much may build up a reputation for a man who ultimately wants to remain anonymous, element of surprise and all that.What got me was his personality/character differences; the age variation between movies is not that great to have what I consider significant psychological changes, given 10 years a person may change that much, but that kind of time frame shows on a man. In the first one he seems to be about money, but that is just a ruse; no one would have trusted him if he didn't come off as a mercenary, he was really all about reuniting the mother and son, and later he learns she has a husband, he is a complete Angel of mercy.In the second one he actually is all about money, but he has a sense of 'honour amongst thieves' thing going with Van Cleef, and he is a pretty nice guy. I would say he is the same person just because i think the films fit nicer if you believe Clint's characters are the same person.
And regardless of whether the poncho from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is proof of it linking to A Fist Full of Dollars, there is definitive proof that Clint Eastwood plays the same character in both A Fist Full of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More.In For a Few Dollars More There is a part in the film where both the bounty hunters do some research on one another. Clint Eastwood goes to the funny guy next to the railway and Lee Van Cleef goes to a library or public records office.
In Lee Van Cleef's scene he browses through a newspaper until he finds an article describing the events of the ending of A Fist Full of Dollars complete with a picture of Clint Eastwood standing over the dead body of Ramon. Now if I'm not mistaken, I can't imagine Lee Van Cleef would go and research someone only to look up an article about someone else.As for him being known by different names in the movies, I think because no one knows his name they just make one up to call him. I think this can be supported by observing that its usually one person who calls him by such a name and even they don't mention it often. In fact the only time I remember someone else calling him the same name is the undertaker from A Fist Full of Dollars who probably knew to call him that because he has already overheard it from Silvanito the bartender/hotel owner.Interestingly because he is the man with no name he could be thought of as a John Doe.
Other variations of this particular name include 'Joe Public', 'Joe Bloggs' and even 'Average Joe'.get it?In For a Few Dollars More he is known as Manco and according to this Wiki link:The Italian word for 'Manco' is ' first-person singular present indicative of mancare' which according to this next Wiki link (sorry about this by the way):The verb 'Mancare' can mean 'missing' or 'absent'. For me, I see the character as being the same man, it's already been mentioned that there are many links between the characters in AFOD and FAFDM particularly to do with the characters injured hand. Both really, just pointing out that if they were the same person it would raise the question as to why he needs more money in FAFDM when he received all the gold in the GBU prequel. Then again the time difference between GBU and AFOD is meant to be 10 years so any number of things could have happened. The fact that in the 2nd film Clint is called Manco which means 'one handed' makes me certain the first two films are linked and they are the same man. As for GBU, who knows but I assume he is still the same man, despite the characterstic inconsistencies.–Feb 25 '15 at 18:07.
Being an ardent fan of the Clint trilogy, I just felt that for many years they were the same type of character (Drifter With No Name), but not really the same, especially given the English version never mentions 'Manco' in 'For A Few Dollars More'. Of recent though, and I must admit I have owned the G,B,& U Soundtrack for decades, my youngest son brought up that in the choruses of the galloping sequences on the soundtrack, they are chanting 'Go, Go, Manco' and to my astonishment after replaying over and again, it is true. I've never seen anybody comment on this anywhere on this site. Given this fact, obviously they DO cross over, with Blondie (and of course, Joe) being just friendly name calls, and not meant to be his true names. 1: Firstly, it's Joseph Campbell.
Secondly, Campbell argued that the role of the hero has been subtlety altered and replicated throughout myths and legends, with each new story essentially containing snapshots of the fundamental hero story. This is in no way the same thing as saying all the characters are the same, but rather that their stories are inspired from a common source. Thirdly, this very idea is illogical, regardless of how dramatic it may sound. Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker and Oskar Schindler were not the same person. I really, really hope I don't need to explain why.–Mar 25 '14 at 10:49.
