I'll have that thirty-two, Bob
Unforgiven is a good movie. Clint Eastwood did a tremendous job in acting and directing this film which had a great supporting cast as well.
The story, just like real life, tells the story a man who has been out of the game for a few years and is making one last triumphant return to his old stompin' grounds. This film is unlike many other westerns in the fact that it doesn't glorify violence. Rather, it shows its dark side and the after effects that it has on people and their emotions. When Morgan Freeman cannot bear to shoot a man and when the Schofield Kid claims that he will never shoot another after he had killed his first.
A brilliant performance from Hackman, and the pace and movement of the film were perfect for a western. Worth a watch but probably wouldn...
Grand opera, Western-style: maybe not as great as it would like to be
Certainly this film underlines the coarse brutality of an age which is sometimes misrepresented as being Golden in American history. But at times it tries a little too hard: a black sidekick (who of course dies) with a Native American wife ... purlease.
In the end it just doesn't avoid a great many trite and sentimental clich?s: if that's what you want out of a Western (and it is, after all, what most people do) then this will be a rewarding choice; rather less so for those who expect it to seriously stand out from the average.
