Wow. I feel like I finally understand why I love this movie so much. Well done sir!

I love this film so much, I'm glad Eastwood chose it as his last Western

A great film.Period!

This movie is one of those that feel too real. Such a masterpiece

What a brilliant analysis of a brilliant movie. "Unforgiven" is one of my great favorites. It is a masterclass in sharp, lean writing, which is itself a hallmark of the Western genre, but never done so well as in "Unforgiven." Your analysis here nails down precisely what makes the film so coherent -- its unflinching study of violence. It would come at the cost of the admirable succinctness you've achieved in this video, but I'd suggest only one slight revision. I see the characters in this movie as divided into three main classes: those who commit violence, those who observe violence, and those who are victims of violence. Sometimes a character is all three, like Munny. Indeed, in many ways he is the victim of his own tendencies. Anyhow, damn good job all around, man.

The film is bookended by Claudia's grave, and the second view (a great shot, with no washing on the line this time, because they are leaving the farm) refers now ironically to Munny's notorious disposition. He takes the children to SF, where he prospered in dry goods. Its a definitive recognition that Munny was finished with violence. Claudia split Munny into two, so that he disavowed his violent past. Itsm that maturity has split Eastwood into two also, and he too was disavowing the celebrations of violence in the movies of his youth. Anyway, Unforgiven is unforgettable. May we all not deserve this, because we are building a house. Great video.

Imo what makes this masterpiece so special is character W.W., representing us. The whole movie has a fourth wall-breaking feel to it, as if it speaks directly to the western fan, and tricks us into revealing ourselves, making us yern for that sweet, sweet violence.

Clint was Oscar worthy for this brilliantly last western masterpiece of a big screen 📺 gem 💎 ahh 😌 right next to Kevin Costner’s open range there two of the best westerns ever made in motion picture history to date 🎥📺🍿🥤🌈⭐️❤️🔥🎬🔫🔫🧨💣.

I do a pretty good Clint Eastwood and two lines which always get a chuckle are _"Hell of a thing to kill a man, you take all he's got and all he's ever gonna have."_ and _"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."_ I'll never forget these lines, or Gene Hackman's _"I don't deserve this. I was building a house."_

Eastwood is so underrated as a filmmaker, and as an artist. His composition for Claudia's Theme in Unforgiven is just eloquent. Gentle and warming.

My all time favorite Western.

Great video, keep up the good work!

I couldn’t agree more. He demonstrates the lead characters arc with no dialogue at all, just a simple sip of alcohol tells you everything! Absolute genius.

Continuity check: 5:28 Eastwood is shooting the rifle left handed 5:38 Eastwood is shooting the shotgun right handed.

Love these vids. Immensely entertaining and insightful.

I enjoyed it very much

Great video! By the way, Vincent (John Travolta’s character in Pulp Fiction) didn’t say he wanted to “murder a random individual,” as you claimed. He said he wanted to murder the guy who keyed his car. That’s a specific individual, not a random one. Hope that makes you feel better about his lust for mindless, cold-blooded murder. 😆

Thanks you made this movie more understandable why I like it so much

The other thing that adds to the quality of the film is the score: simple and understated, not a distraction or OTT like other westerns and could be said to be a counterpoint to the violence.

thanks man. keep making these videos it really helps me . i am paying more attention to movies now . and i know what to pay attention to

0:00:50 all right, I’m going to watch it right now!!!

I hate how good you are at this

@10:06 Personal theory: Vince Vega will meet (again) the person who keyed his car: Butch. After Vince insults Butch at the bar (calling him "punchy" and "palooka"), Butch thinks "F-you!" and keys his car on the way out.

Now we have Barry with the same killer doesn't want to kill no more deminor. Also pretty good attempt on the theme.

Your channel is brilliant ❤

I always think of that line in Pulp Fiction as the most important quote in a Tarantino film. You are the first person I’ve heard reference it.

Every scene of this movie sticks. Now I see why.

I actually have a hard time paying attention through most of the movie, but it is entirely worth it just for that last scene.

Danke!

I paused this video and actually watched the entire film.🤪 My review was that it was...OK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I wouldn't watch it twice. -Asshole- English Bob was the best part, he almost took the gun and once he saw it was actually fully loaded gave a great pained expression.

Great framework. I'd add that the film also has a theme of 4 of people being forced to acknowledge what they are. Munny has to admit he's a killer, Ned and the Kid have to admit they are not, and Little Bill, at the last moment, has to admit he is not the "main character" in life, to whom all and every must bend to his view of the world. In the end, he's just a guy with a half-built house dying ugly on the floor of a filthy saloon. Bob and W.W. both know what they are; Bob the lying, murdering psychopath and W.W. the cowardly voyeur. They are the least important in the story and the most contemptable. Another major theme is that no one is perfect and no one is irredeemable. That Claudia took an absolute horror of a human being and turned him into someone who WANTED to be good, who wanted to be a good husband, who wanted to be a good Dad, who WANTED to be a successful pig farmer so he could be these things, is a testament to the very real impact one human can have on another. We never meet her in the film but it's clear she was an incredible woman.

And like with the oldest sagas, the men's violence is activated by the women, first by their mockery, then by their hunger for vengeance. Icelandic sagas are just like Unforgiven.

You should do a comparison with the Ken Watanabe's remake of Unforgiven, which is just as good. Set in 1880s Hokkaido as Japanese tookover from the local populace, the Ainu tribe. I love the line from Ford >Kurosawa >Leone>Eastwood>Watanabe. Uzama Twilight is another classic to review about a supporting character. The Kdrama, Extraordinary You is another playing with side characters in the narrative.

It's just a question that you can leave unanswered ...but why do you not make trendy vids in between with a little less quality than your normal vids , to get those views high?.. cause the meme material you have is 🤯

Unforgiven is a great screenplay but after watching The Crying Game recently for the first time since it came out, I think it deserved the best screenplay Oscar that year. A great year for screenplays!

Today I learned about diminishing returns in writing. Damn. What a lesson. Useful inside a story to reveal truth via lies. Pointless when used as the story (which explains why I find slasher flicks so boring).

What do you think of "The Quick and the Dead"? My favorite Western...Sam Raimi directing, with early Leo DiCaprio, early Russell Crowe, peak Gene Hackman, peak Sharon Stone, with so many great references from Samurai films to Sergio Leone as well as great suspense and masterful cinematography, ans a great ending reveal.

The ending of the video is how the movie should have ended

I don't deserve this. To die like this. I was building a house.

"Cut-Whore Killings" is the baddest title ever.

The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend “I can't find a man I want, and I'm beginning to think the problem is me. Maybe I expect too much. Maybe I'm holding out for something that doesn't even exist." She'd voiced her secret fear. Maybe grand passion was just a dream. With all the kissing she'd done in the past few months, she'd not once been overcome with desire. Her parents certainly hadn't had any great passion between them.

You didn't do it justice.
