Reviews

betty dalton When I was a boy I wanted to be a cowboy. Now I am an adult and I secretly still wanna be a cowboy. And "Unforgiven" is the best reason why I still wanna be a cowboy, because which man doesnt wanna be as heroic, glorious and tough as Clint Eastwood is in "Unforgiven". There is no other modern western out there that comes even close in the true to life depiction of bravery AND cowardness. There is no western out there besides the other well known great classics that come close to the brilliant true to life dialogues of ¨Unforgiven". Those dialogues were written by the very same screenwriter that gave us "Blade Runner", which could be considered to be a science fiction western, with a little imagination...Many, many westerns have been made, but "Unforgiven" stands out among all of them. Why? Maybe some wont even notice the tongue in cheek jokes at first that are present in "Unforgiven", because the jokes are not presented as such, but they are disguised in a parody of western cliches. The parody is depicted in scenes with behaviour that normally isnt shown in westerns. What sort of behaviour? Well, cowboys become human in this movie, with all the usual shortcomings that go along with being human: like being afraid of killing someone. That's unheard of in westerns, but it happens in this one. Still it is a hardcore western, but the heroes are not the heroes we have been used to and neither are the crooks. Everything is a bit twisted, but that makes the experience more real, more enjoyable, but also more powerful in the end. I have seen it over 10 times by now, but I can clearly remember how confused I was after having watched it for the very first time, because lots of western cliches get thrown out of the window. How those cliches get destroyed is the real charm of "Unforgiven", although it still has got hardcore western guts.Eastwood dedicated this movie to directors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel and "Unforgiven" has become the most prestigious tribute one could wish for in the history of american westerns. "Unforgiven" is only the third western in history to ever win the Best Picture Oscar. The American Film Institute ranked this as one of the 100 Greatest Movies of All Time.

Osmosis Iron If you want a gun slinging badass, leave it to Eastwood! Oh and it has Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris and Gene Hackman too! In a way it reminds me of "The Dark Knight Returns" Graphic Novel, in which a retired old hero returns to make things right once more... Brutal and bloody tale of revenge and redemption, a great western!

laciedumontier Eastwood has said he sat on the script after buying it because he was just not old enough for the Muny character! Harris, Freeman, and others were so memorable--those of us from the arid west know it was am area grey--not black and white characters and Eastwood carries this out--even beyond Pale Rider. This is it--the logical end to the American affection with the WIld West. I loved it and it will take a lot to carry out the sense of the wild west. Hw finally got what my home state of Montana was about! Belated congrats Clint and company--including Hackman who had questions about the anti/yes support of gun rights and the others. LDgreu

selinatak-04830 A group of prostitutes in a brothel of a small town is unsatisfied with the punishment suffered by the two men that cut up the face of one of them, so they decide to take matters at hand by offering one thousand dollars to whoever can kill them. An aged assassin, along with a newbie and an old partner, answers the call, but finds himself fighting with his own past as well as the sadistic sheriff of the town. Eastwood's western is among the masterpieces of the genre, with its great use of themes and emphasis on the dark character backgrounds masterly interpreted by the excellent cast. A great screenplay that plays a lot with the genre and make it seem a haunting as a noir placed withing the boundaries of the western genre and a great work of photography add to the overall value of the film.
