Unforgiven Reviews
A brief comment
I think this is one of the best westerns ever made, despite being a very atypical western. It's an ungamorous and almost film noir version of a western as several over the hill and cynical gunfighters, along with a rash, unproven, young wannabe, try to bring several evil-doers to justice. Each has his own reasons for taking part in this quest, despite the misgivings of Eastwood's and Freeman's characters. Both Freeman and Eastwood turn in a couple of their best performances, with Eastwood ironically turning in one that is 180 degrees apart from the macho role in the famous spaghetti westerns that originally made his name in the genre. Overall a fine western and one that should stand the test of time.
The Best Western Since The Wild Bunch
A great movie does not follow a formula but crafts a story that tells you something. Eastwood has done something magnificent here and in the process he's explained what's going on in many inferior Westerns. There are violent people in the world that handle situations differently than most, but this film is more about clarity of conviction than violence... if you are going to do something, you might as well commit yourself to it.
Unforgiven is a great movie and a compelling story. Peckinpah was one of the first to successfully film violent men. Cormac McCarthy and Hemingway successfully wrote about them. Pick up McCarthy's "No Country For Old Men" to see his take.
