Hollywood should note: This film 'subverted our expectations' but maintained the integrity of both protagonist and antagonist and respected it's audience and by remaining true to its characters implied past histories provided a consistent, relevant and timeless resolution of character arc and story telling. It's a masterpiece.

@Murtagh653 5 жыл бұрын

when people use "subverted your / our expectations" as one of the best features of a movie or see it as the only feature worth mentioning then the movie is most likely trash, it's sad how critics are just using bigger and more obscure words and ways of describing everyday occurrences and plots we have seen a hundred times before to try and seem relevant.

I've been a serious history buff for most of my life and "Unforgiven" is the closest representation of what some of the frontier west was actually like. The line between outlaw and lawman was blurred. They were men of the feud, hard men, often veterans of the civil war who had seen and participated in one of the most troubling slaughters in the history of man. As film stories go, "Unforgiven" is my favorite is my favorite picture of the genre, because of its powerful realism. "Josey Wales" is a close second.

I think my favorite exchange in the movie is Little Bill: I'll see you in hell, William Munny. Will Munny: Yeah. (Fires) But, it's the way he says "yeah". It's not arrogant, condescending or mocking in tone, instead it's delivered with the bitterest sense of resignation and acceptance. It's the little details in exchanges like that that can make a movie great.

One of the best movies ever made. It had none of the quick draw bravado, so prevalent in earlier westerns. What it did have was a realistic, gritty feel that audiences believed existed in the old west. It didn't have any of the sanitized killing, where someone was shot and the scene shifted to celebrations. People tortured other human beings. People bled to death while crying. Unarmed people were killed on the toilet. A town sheriff was a sadistic monster. Eastwood's genius here was in making a profoundly violent movie, having an undeniable message of anti-violence. Eastwood has been very good in his film making career, but in Unforgiven, he made something that will be watched for centuries to come

The part after the kid kills his first (and probably last) man and they're sitting in the field, really makes one feel the weight of killing a man. I've never felt that in a movie before - ever. I've often seen scenes where a character would feel regret or disgust of their actions, but this scene just made it so real, it gives me a clump in my stomach every time I watch it. I could see myself in his shoes - and I've actually had dreams where apparantly I've killed someone, and I remember that I get a similar feeling of dread and shame as when I see this scene. It really gets you thinking that a line has been crossed, and you will never ever get to go back.

Haven’t read another western novel since.

@bbhrdzaz 5 жыл бұрын

Just like Sergio Leone changed the western (hollywood's version) by taking the clean cut and shine out the films, Clint remade it by exposing the humanity of each character's actions. When Eastwood played Blondie (the Good) in the Good, Bad & Ugly, that character was truly a remorseless murderer, motivated by greed. But that was not the story on the screen we were meant to see. I think in part, William Munny was motivated by the money, not redemption, because he really couldn't cut it as a farmer.

Well, Rawhide was also very different from the Dollars trilogy. Before Eastwood broke out as the Man With No Name, he played more traditional wholesome heroes. And Rawhide was very much in line with the original westerns. If spaghetti westerns were a response to traditional westerns, Unforgiven can be seen as a response to spaghetti westerns. The genre probably isn't going to be as popular as it was in the golden age of Hollywood, but it definitely is still evolving. Taking on more nuanced themes and building on what came before.

I've heard a lot of people make comparisons between Will Munny and the Man with No Name, including Eastwood himself. But... I don't remember that character ever killing any women or children... or shooting members of his own gang in the face for no reason while in a drunken rage. He gives a dying soldier his coat, and then leaves it there out of respect when the guy's dead and it doesn't even matter anymore. Hell, in Fist Full of Dollars he only gets caught playing both sides after freeing the kept woman to go back to her husband and (ridiculously annoyingly dubbed) son, for no tangible reward. In fact, it's been a few years but I think he might've given _them_ some money. I suppose his character might've been a shade darker than that in High Plains Drifter, but still not anywhere near the described level of dark. And that's arguably the darkest character he ever played in a movie. Young Will Munny sounds more like one of the blood-thirsty main henchmen from those movies who just never came across his own "Man with No Name" equivalent to put him down..

I just got A Fistful of Dollars at my library sale for 1USD. I'll have to watch it over again looking for those details. As I understood, it's an Americanized version of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. I, as well, don't remember The Man With No Name ever killing innocents. I did see Eastwood explain High Plains Drifter on television one year, and I wish I could remember what program it was but company just happened to drop in right at that time. I remember what he said very well, however. You have to imagine the Gary Cooper character from High Noon, facing down the outlaw gang (which included a young Lee Van Cleef) and being killed, then, his vengeful spirit returns from the other side to take vengeance on the townspeople who failed to support him. Eastwood returns to this idea in Pale Rider, but the spirit is much more benevolent, as much a guardian of the innocent as an agent of vengeance. Incidentally, John Wayne considered the final scene of High Noon, where having defeated the outlaws, Gary Cooper throws away his badge, and rides off with Grace Kelly, "The most un-American thing he'd ever seen in a film." That's a pretty strong statement, but since getting people to agree as to what is and is not "un-American" is like herding cats, I'll leave it for the reader to work out. JAMES

Growing up, I had always written off the entire Western genre as "those boring brown movies my father likes." I went off to college still holding that opinion; but it would not last much longer. Unforgiven came out during my first semester of college, and it blew my mind. It was smart, it was funny, it was mature... It was like nothing I'd seen before, and I went back to the theater to see it again and again. Toward the end of its run I had the theater all to myself for one screening, which was how I finally heard the second half of one of the film's best lines (audience laughter having drowned out everything after "He shoulda armed himself..." in every previous viewing). Closing in on 30 years later, it still holds up as one of the finest films I've seen in any genre, and the one that first opened my mind to the idea that Westerns could be worth watching.

The first time I watch _Unforgiven_ I didn't care for it, but after a second and subsequent viewings I grew to like it. I don't believe you mentioned that the decision to avenge the prostitute was because there was payment involved, and you didn't mention the drinking issue until the end when that was upfront from the beginning. The protagonist knew he needed to get drunk to bring out his rage and to mask his disdain for killing. There was also the memory of his wife who cured him of his evil ways and drinking. As for the popularity of westerns as a movie genre, I believe that films such as Pulp Fiction (1994) and The Matrix (1999) took over for a bit, and action movies set in the future became a draw for the now younger movie goers, while adults stayed at home and watched DVDs.

Apart from the excellent observations you make about the main characters, one is able to see/feel the emotions of all the side characters like English Bob, Beauchamp, Alice etc..and the way they fit into the moral themes. I only own 5 movies on disc and this is one of them.

This is actually the second time Eastwood changed the western forever , I remember seeing the good the bad and the ugly in 1966 as a young man who had been raised on westerns where good guys always wore white hats and always won . The good the bad and the ugly erased that , nobody was right and every man in the film operated on greed , much like what historians and history teachers had been saying about Hollywood having it all wrong during my schooling. Eastwood basically did it again with unforgiven . this is only my observation , but I saw the connection as the narrator of the video did . And often thought about what a treat an epilogue to some these characters would be ,I think unforgiven did just that . he's essentially Blondie as an old man , I imagine Tuco is an old man somewhere lamenting his errant ways and the loss of the love and the broken relationship with his priest brother and maybe even his partner in crime .

His desire is to provide for his children, that's the visual goal we see played out through the action of the film. Munny's psychological need is to atone for his past deeds, to actually believe in his heart that he's not the same person he was 20 years ago. That's what he must overcome internally while he struggles to accomplish the external need of providing for his kids. One without the other can be boring (imagine watching a guy think for 2 hours) Great movies like this have both.

Hey, and what about Gran Torino and the desconstruction of the many character Eastwood performed in action movies? Gran Torino is in some ways, a good companion to Unforgiven. Great video.

Totally agree. I'm not so much a fan of Eastwood, but Gran Torino and Unforgiven are just great movies.

@frankuraku5622 2 жыл бұрын

Unforgiven is a deconstruction of Eastwood's westerns Gran Torino is a deconstuction of Eastwood's normal movies (Dirty Harry series, Escape From Alcatraz,etc just his badass non-cowboy roles)

Saw the thumbnail and title of this video so it prompted me to watch the movie this morning and I find it hilarious that the first comic I ever read was Watchmen,a deconstruction of superheros,the first anime I watched to completion was Neon Genesis Evangelion,a deconstruction of giant mecha and now one of the first Westerns I really loved,and its another deconstruction

I think it's cool that you don't need to have a good knowledge of the history of the genre to appreciate it.

Did I see the same movie? In The Unforgiven I saw The Easrwood character was motivated by MONEY. It all developed because hi pig farm was failing and he was desperate to provide for his children. Desperate, OK, desperate. There's your motivation for the violence.

Will Munny : It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid : Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. Will Munny : We all got it coming, kid.

But you forgot to mention that he took the reward money and gave his kids a better life, therefore he left his violent past behind when he left his dirt farm.

I feel, he went the only way he knew that would solve the situation he found himself in. He lost the one Person who showed him Love and affection. He then had a responsibility to his Children and the Memory of his beloved Wife. Sometimes in Life, the Prose and Cons have to be altered by taking that Chance. For my Kids, in that situation, I would do the same. For my Circle of Brothers, there's no doubting they would do the same for me. Baptism of Fire, makes the Holy Grail of Bonds, between Soldiers at Arms. In the Hills, in the Mood, our DNA is there. One goes down, we want to know why. We share that experience, we share that Bond. From an injured British War Veteran

My favorite exchange is between Little Bill and Will Munny when Will kills the storekeeper who displayed Morgan Freeman’s corpse in his store. “You murdered an unarmed man!” “Well, he shoulda armed himself if he’s gonna decorate his store with the body of my friend.”

As we've become more or less enlightened about our past history, it would be foolhardy, at best, to try to make Westerns as we once did. Movies like 'Unforgiven' have shown us what price was paid for 'manifest destiny'.
