An important and very crucial scene in the movie was when a harmonica was put into a boys mouth. This scene was a defining moment and gave explanation to why harmonica was even after frank so diligently. It turns out that frank had killed harmonica's brother. Doing so was what caused harmonica to seek vengeance for frank's evil deed. Throughout the movie it wasn't exactly sure as to why harmonica was even after frank. From the other scenes in the movie, when harmonica had bought the house, he didn't even care about the money nor the house itself, he did it to aggrevate frank.
While watching the movie, it was quite puzzling how harmonica could be so devoted into killing frank without knowing his initial reason. After having seen the scene with harmonica and his brother being hung, it gave meaning to the rest of the actions that took place beforehand. Such as when frank was being shot at in the town and harmonica was inside the inn where jill was taking a bath. Harmonica was assisting frank in taking out all the people who were after him and it now makes sense as to why he did it, in order to kill frank himself. Witch such a motive and the determination that harmonica had, it was all only pieces of a bigger puzzle that the audience had to try to figure out until the scene with the death of his brother that allowed viewers to understand why harmonica does what he does.

Tien, I couldnt agree with your post any more. In my opinion this was the most crucial scene in the movie because it clarified so much. Harmonica was a completely mysterious character throughout the entire movie until we find his motives behind wanting to kill Frank. Although this scene was difficult to watch it was of tremendous significance.
