Coby + Clint -- Round 1
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.
Josey Wales! Best Western ever made!
What program do you use to edit?
What do you use to shoot?
@@alexeilindes7507 couple different ones - still sorting out the workflow honestly
Eastwood bought this script after he read it 20 years earlier, then held onto it until he was old enough to play William Munny. That is dedication to film making right there.
Didn't know that. That's awesome!👍🏽
And according to the writer, he didn't change a line of the script - apparently relatively unheard of.
Damn that sounds like Clint 😊
That's a great story, as is the follow-up info from @MrZampanov about the strict adherence to said script.
Not really true at all OP.
Please stop spreading misinformation.
What you wrote makes zero sense.
Your claim that he had bought this 20 years before its production (1991) thus making its writing and his reading 1971 is completely wrong.
The first concept of it was created by David Webb Peoples in 1976 and later finished by 1978ish. Eastwood finally heard about it, in 1981....but was warned off of it by his "people" and script readers who all agreed it was terrible. So Eastwood did not read it. At the time it had been optioned by Francis Ford Coppola, yet he could not find the financing for it and it lay dormant until Eastwood finally got around to reading it and later bought the full rights in 1985, according to David Webb Peoples. It then lay dormant for another six years.
So even if we were to take the earliest possible acquisition of it, it is no earlier than 1981. Which meant that from first hearing about it to filming, was at max, 10 years and nowhere near the 20 you claim.
It was also not "dedication". Eastwood himself said he wanted to do other things first, as well as not being old enough yet.
This is easily found information.
With every Clint Western I have to recommend The Outlaw Josey Wales one of the best movies ever made
Dying ain't much of a living boy
Buzzards gotta eat same as the worms
Absolutely.
I reckon so.
1000% Josey Wales is my favorite... so many great lines! "Buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms. (spit)"
Notice once he becomes death
His pale horse allows him to easily mount him for the first time
Hah! awesome. Never picked up on that before 👍
I never noticed that but you are so right! The horse was finally calm!
Good catch! I hadn’t noticed either.
Damn, I’ve watched this so many times and never caught this either.
Hey thanks a lot I never noticed that.!!!!!! it’s pretty crazy how much you can miss in a movie sometimes.!!!!👍🏽👍🏽
When The Kid admits he never k*lled a man before.. I'm telling you, that's one of the most impactful and realistic performances I've ever seen.
True, why didn't he become a huge name after this?
Superb acting by the whole cast. Every scene with the Scofield Kid. Richard Harris' palpable calculation, rage and hate when Bill offers him the gun, amongst other highlights. And, of course, Clint speaking, acting, and looking like Death incarnate at the end.
That scene always reminds me of an account I heard from a British WWII veteran years ago (I don't remember his name unfortunately), describing his first and only kill of the war... "I sat down, I was violently sick, and I cried. I couldn't believe I had taken another man's life."
@@Jayskiallthewayski Most actors don't. Still, he had an important role in one of the greatest movies ever. That's better than what most actors achieve, unfortunately.
That young guy was a really talented actor. He really captured what this whole movie was about.
"It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have." Such an impactful line, and so true.
Morgan Freeman has said on numerous occasions that his favorite Director is Clint Eastwood. Considering the caliber of directors he's worked with over his illustrious career, that's high praise indeed.
It's crazy that Clint Eastwood will turn 94 later this month, the guy is a living legend and he will still be a household name decades from now. He has that next level star power like a John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable and Jack Lemmon.
not to offend or question your comment, but a little surprised to see jack Lemmon there, maybe instead Jack Nickolson (maybe he was too current) or Paul Newman...
@@mikes1487 Jack Nicholson is also a living legend like Clint. I remember how much my grandparents loved Jack Lemmon and I guess that is why he popped in my head.
When Clint keeps saying he is ugly, its not because of his physical appereance, but more about his past and all those things he had done.
"Deserve's got nothing to do with it" is one of my favorite lines from any movie ever.
Yeah, that line has stuck with me the most from this movie since I first watched it 30+ years ago.
I've always found that an odd line. Fits but I wished he said something like "Yes you do."
@@leechap3 yes certainly that would make sense from his point of view, because 'lill Bill killed Ned. But Will is more philosophical than that. It's like when the blind kid said "he had it coming" and Will responded "we all have it coming kid."
With the line "deserve's got nothing to do with it," I think Will is saying he's not going there to mete out justice. He's not pretending to say anything about who deserves what. He's just there for his own personal motivation (revenge.)
I was building a house!
The moment William takes that whiskey and starts drinking again always gives me chills.
As an alcoholic trying to give up, I have mixed feelings with the scene, but I get it.
@arconeagain kudos to you, and good luck on your quest for sobriety.
When he was a killer he was always drunk.
@@josephparker4022 thanks.
It's lost on most reactionaries. Including this one.
“I ain’t like you Will.” The character arc of the self-anointed sobriquet Scofield Kid is one I can’t remember ever seen portrayed so well. He realizes he isn’t a cold-blooded killer, while William Munny can’t escape who he really is.
A little while ago, we saw pictures of the legendary Gene Hackman (94 years old, like Clint Eastwood in a couple of weeks) walking with a cane on the street, his wife by his side. He disappeared from publicity about twenty years ago and now he looks so fragile, thin and old. We have admired all those strong heroes of the silver screen all our lives, so it feels somehow sad and unreal to see them getting old. And so many have already left us.
I was lucky enough to meet Clint at a small venue in Paso Robles CA. in 2008. It was a bucket list moment, and I can tell you he was down to earth, gracious , and very pleasant to everyone there. He spent well over an hour taking pics, chatting, signing autographs. It remains one of my best memories.
Wyatt Earp once said, “Fast is fine, accuracy is final. You have to be slow in a hurry.” That final shootout exemplifies that quote perfectly. Also, if you notice throughout the movie Clint’s character gives very ambiguous answers to questions. “I reckon”, “I suppose,” etc. But when Hackman says he’ll see him in Hell, the answer is a straightforward and direct “Yeah.”
He's also sure of his answer when he's asked if his wife is back in Kansas at 30:00. "Yeah, she's watching over my young ones."
Clint Eastwood's movies are real character studies. People who are struggling with who they are and have to choose the right path. That's what makes them so powerful.
The "innocent" cowboy didn't do the cutting, but he was told to hold her down and he did. In the eyes of someone like Munney, that's guilty too, and the contract was on both.
As for why he calls himself ugly, he is referring to the evil things he did before his wife got him off the bottle and made him want to be a better man. Great reaction, as always. Cheers!
I saw an interview with Morgan and he said he didn't have to act during the whipping scene. Gene was so convincing he scared the shit out of him.
Although it gets panned by some, I think The Quick and the Dead is a fun movie, and Hackman is at just about his most menacing in that role. He is worth the price of admission alone in that flick.
@@stevesheroan4131 It's not a deep or thought-provoking film, but definitely fun, and Hackman is obviously having an absolute blast. Plus it's got such a colorful assortment of supporting characters and character actors in the roles. Keith David? Lance Henriksen, a pre-fame Russell Crowe, Gary Sinise, I mean what's not to like?
If she's never seen Pale Rider, she definitely needs to watch it.
Yes definitely pale rider. Chris Penn and that cutie native girl 👍🏻
I think his best works are Pale Rider and Million Dollar Baby. But I also love his comedy works in the Clyde movies too
Oops I forgot about Josey Wales. That's up there too
@JohnDoeMidnight-jq2me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@JohnDoeMidnight-jq2me opinions vary
When Will was talking about being ugly, he wasn’t talking about his face, Coby. He carries a lot of baggage concerning the things he’d done before settling down.
even the devil gets older
Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture.
They got it right that year at least...
One of the last movies I can remember that actually deserved an Oscar.
@tjtenser7828 yeah, because Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Braveheart and so on didn't deserve an Oscar
This film won 4 Oscars (Picture, Director for Clint Eastwood, Supporting Actor for Gene Hackman (who played Little Bill), and Editing for Joel Cox).
Clint Eastwood later won another Best Director Oscar for the incredible film MILLION DOLLAR BABY (that movie also won 4 Oscars in total: Picture, Director, Actress (Hilary Swank) and Supporting Actor (Morgan Freeman)). Funnily enough, Morgan Freeman's Oscar (his only win ever) came only one year after his SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION co-star Tim Robbins won Supporting Actor (Tim won for MYSTIC RIVER, also directed by Eastwood (and another fantastic movie)). A full circle moment, indeed. I highly recommend all of these movies.
Notice when Munny starts drinking. And wants revenge. Suddenly he's death incarnate.
Munny was pure evil as he says himself
There is only one man who could direct this movie, glad he did.
The Outlaw Josey Wales. 1976. This is neck and neck with Unforgiven as Clint's signature American western. Perfect calibration between comedy and tragedy.
I have to say, Coby has quickly become one of my favourite reactors. When she gets emotional and tears up, this grown man feels that emotion too and joins her. It helps that Coby is watching some great films, Clint has been one of my favourites for years. I think Coby's reactions come across as relaxed and genuine and not just describing what is happening on screen or saying OMG to everything. Keep up the excellent reactions. Finally, Unforgiven, one of my all time favourite films. Great cast, great story and shot beautifully.
all time classic " Well he should have armed himself "
English Bob also was the 1st Dumbledore, and was in many movies going back to the 60s.
Richard Harris
@@stevetreloar3129 His son is an amazing actor too.
@@joelwillis2043 Yep... Played Valery Legasov in Chernobyl.
His portrayal of Oliver Cromwell was great too, along with Alec Guinness as Charles I. The film takes some liberties with history, but as a drama it's excellent.
@@bluesrocker91 Yes, Jared Harris.
The bar scene at the end is one of the most powerful in movie history imo.
When little bill whispered into Ned’s ear that was all improvised by Hackman.
When you watch his movies you realize they're more than just entertainment. They have a message. His movies have a way of getting you in your feelings.
The mark of great art is that you see something new every time you experience it.
True. I've watched this movie many times and for some reason I missed that William Munny's wife was also an "Indian" How I missed 'Feathers' as her last name all those other times, I don't know.
36:00 In one interview Morgan Freeman said about this scene that it was easy for him to act because he was *really* afraid of Gene Hackman. He said it becomes easier to act when the actor opposite you is SO good and really convincing! That is some compliment, i think. Liked your reaction.
Now you got to see "Gran Torino" !! You can't esca[e that one from Clint Eastwood. In Million $ Baby CE's daughter did a small role - girl at the Petrol Pump. In Gran Torino his son has a small role. A must watch. Regards,
Remember what English Bob said about trying to assassinate a King or Queen. "You're hand will wither and you won't be able to hold or aim your weapon."
Notice the two men in the rain who had a bead on William Munny? "You shoot him! No, you!" Equating that sense of "Awe" to both royalty and legend.
Notice also how the Kid's hand shakes as he takes the shot... I suppose the point is that ultimately it doesn't matter whether it's a king or queen, or just a "no-good cowboy" taking a dump in an outhouse. It's still taking a human life.
@@bluesrocker91 Just get out of town when William Munny starts drinking whiskey.
Grew up listening to mom’s record of The Big Country in Nigeria in 1965. Became fascinated with Westerns, watching them on TV in the 60s and in theaters in the 70s and 80s. John Wayne and Clint Eastwood were my heroes growing up. Unforgiven was the most difficult Western to watch. Things I took for granted, the reality and horrors of taking a life was addressed head on. Never looked at Westerns the same way again. I love this movie for doing that.
I agree about the first half being slow. I actually started to watch this movie multiple times over the years, but only pushed through the last half about 10 years after it was released. I figured it was another "Dances with Wolves"... until I finally saw those last few minutes. You can see the change in Munny as he sips at the whiskey bottle while hearing about Ned. He slowly transforms into the vicious killer he used to be, totally disregarding any promises he made to his wife so he could have the power to avenge his friend. Great Reaction, you really got it. 😢
when my friends leave my house after dark i tell them " you stay clear of folks you see" I've been saying it for over 30 years. great film, nice reaction
Clint Eastwood announced that he is about to retire, he will make his last film and that will be it. It was a moment that in recent years I saw coming, he is 93 years old, he stretched his career enough when others would have retired at the age of 80 or less.
What is great about this movie is that it didn't glamorize the shootings of the old west, but gave it a really harsh reality to it. I mean, the final scene is amazing but, to me, the film just has a more empathetic feel to it. Like Ned not having the heart to shoot a man any more, or Clint telling them to give him a drink of water. Great film!
The guy who played English bob is Richard Harris. He's the original Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies and he also played Marcus Aurelius In Gladiator.
@Jumpman67 And the 1970 brilliant, raw "A Man Called Horse", 2 Best Actor nominations, an outstanding theatre career and was Peter O'Toole's drinking buddy.
This has been a favorite of mine since childhood. I'll never forget the emotions i felt when the Schofield kid shot a man down. I had seen dozens of movies where people died, hell at that point my favorite film was the hills have eyes. But the way the writing, acting and directing came together for that one scene, it really made me feel the weight of his regret. It made me understand that when someone is gone, thats it. You don't only lose a life, but all the memories that person made, all the relationships they built, the things they've done and all they ever planned to do. Every good idea or creative thought, gone within seconds. And as cool as the kid thought it all was, he learned instantaneously that he was never meant to be that kind of man.
lotta growing up going on in this little gem
@@criminalcontent indeed
Saw this in high school several times while working at General Cinema as an usher. First Western i had ever seen, and still one of my favorite movies. I think it makes a difference when you see a classic as a kid and have the capacity to understand the theme and be emotionally moved by it. It stays with you.
He's the lucky one. He can still change his ways, become a better man. It's too late for all the others. They're either dead or so far gone that they expect to go to hell.
6:00 The kid is talking about the same incident we saw at the start of the film.
The kid's version of the story just serves to highlight how these sorts of stories grew arms and legs the more people found out about it.
I thought long and hard, and it is my belief that Clint Eastwood, at this moment in time, is the greatest top to bottom movie man or person in history. Many have done it in front of the camera, and many have done it behind the camera and some have done both. But of those who do both Clint is at the Top of the list in my opinion. He ended up being a great actor, but he is an elite film maker. Combined he is the greatest.
My favorite line in the movie: "Innocent of what?"
Forgot to thank Mrs. Connel for another exceptional movie review/reaction. Nobody does it better and wish she made more content for her channels because she is the only one I bother watching on the 2 channels she appears on. Again great job and appreciate how much she values Clint Eastwood and the contributions he has made to cinema. He is getting up there in age and I was fortunate to have had the same lawyers in Century City California where we would run into each other frequently and he was an absolute gentleman and so humble but his hand shakes were like putting your hand in a Vice Grip. Let’s enjoy him while he is still with us.
I'm always amazed how Silky gets a pass in these reviews. Although the cowboy who cut Delilah is true scum, it's Silky's bitterness, hate and need for disproportional revenge that causes all the death and destruction in this movie. This is reinforced when the boys pay Skinny the horses and the nice kid tries to give Delilah the good pony but Silky doesn't even check with Delilah and only rages on the boy chasing him away and denying Delilah even the slightest compensation for her injuries.
Silky barely has any lines. You're thinking of Strawberry Alice.
@@Philistine47 Yes, my bad. I confused Strawberry Alice and Silky. Thanks for the correction.
This is more an indictment of what happens when you do not mete out proper punishment for a crime. If Little Bill had arrested and prosecuted those two cowboys properly, none of what happened after would have taken place.
As for Strawberry Alice seeking "disproportional revenge"... I would say it is more about sending a clear message to deter any future abuse of her girls, since none of the "authority" figures in their lives were ever going to do anything about it. Taking that pony would be akin to accepting that it was OK to abuse her girls as long as there is payment.
@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 That's true, and in many ways is the same pragmatic attitude that Little Bill has. Regardless of the fact they are at loggerheads, they both see the applied use of controlled violence as a deterrent against further violence. Which by the end of the film is shown to be false... It's only the unrestricted explosion of rage Munny unleashes in the saloon and the threat of escalating it to a complete massacre of the whole town that finally draws it to a close.
But aside from that, it was Delilah, not Alice, who was the real victim of the original crime, and she is never once given the opportunity to express her honest thoughts or feelings on it. All we can deduce from her character, body language and facial expressions whenever the matter comes up is that she is far from comfortable with the idea. As so often happens, the real victim gets forgotten.
I suppose that really sums up the title of the film. In her apparent openness to the offer of the pony, Delilah is the only character who (rightly or wrongly) demonstrates any capacity for forgiveness, but she's always drowned out by louder voices baying for blood, and so the cycle of violence and revenge continues until nine men are dead. Whether they deserved it or not didn't matter, as Munny points out.
It’s amazing how many people don’t seem to pick up on the fact that when Little Bill gives English Bob’s gun back to him on the stagecoach, that the gun barrel is bent.
They didn’t have broadcast media or the Internet in those days, Coby, so it’s not unusual that the story would’ve become exaggerated as it was passed from person to person.
Remember the Englishman talking about how a King or Queen is too noble to be killed, that an attacker must stand back in awe? I think this is foreshadowing why no one can shoot directly at Money... he is the epitome of American nobility, the perfect gunfighter.
Wow, it's interesting that you had not seen this but a lot of Eastwood's films that many people have not seen. I remember going to see "A Perfect World" at a midnight showing that opening weekend.
I remember the trailer for "Unforgiven" before "Lethal Weapon 3" that summer. The audience was audibly impressed by the sight of Clint Eastwood being back in a western, and this was a time when most people were not aware of upcoming movies until they saw the trailers.
"All I can tell ya is who's gonna be last." DAMN! LOL!!
Clint was on a film with John Wayne and he said Wayne didn't want his character to shoot the bad guy in the back. Clint said he thought to himself, "Why not? It's quicker and safer ain't it??" 🤣
Clint was never in a film with John Wayne. Do you mean he was on one of Wayne's sets?
Yeah, Coby thought the writer would want to follow Munny now that he met a gunfighter that could kill Little Bill. I think English Bob was a braggart and Little Bill just liked talking about himself. A vicious man like Munny (at least his previous or drunk self) would just as soon shoot the writer if he bothered him.
@@reservoirdude92 Yeah, you're right. It was on one of Wayne's films (The Shootist) where he was supposed to shoot someone in the back. He didn't like that and refused saying, "I don't shoot people in the back." They mentioned Eastwood would. He didn't care for Eastwood's style and said, "I don't care what that kid woulda done. I don't shoot people in the back." Eastwood heard about it and asked, "Why would you wait for someone to draw their gun??" Lol!!!!
@@kickballjedi Lol!!!
@@kickballjedi English Bob and Little Bill were both braggarts, but they were also vicious killers. Don't sell them short.
10:40 Albus Dumbledore (the first two, before the actor passed) ...... or maybe the old emperor in Gladiator? 🙂
Richard Harris is the other older actor in the cast, a legendary actor from old Hollywood, perhaps recognized by new generations for the Harry Potter films and Gladiator, where he played Comodo's father (Joaquin Phoenix).
ah Gladiator...i knew i recognized him but couldn't place it
Well Done Coby!
I've always felt this was the most realistic view of what the real West looked like. The most Un-Hollywood Western.
This had to have been incredibly difficult to work out the pacing of this movie. There's very little action in the first half. Then what action there is was slowly played out. Yet Clint and the Editor managed to keep us enthralled until the ending. And the payoff at the end was Amazing!
This is my all time favorite movie, I'm 35 and I first watched it in College.
I always loved how the story of the women who got mutilated, became more gruesome with everyone who told it, just like all the stories that came out of the old West, they were embellished and made the old West the romanticized version we know now.
If not the best western ever, certainly in the top 3. Excellent performances throughout the movie. Of course Eastwood, Hackman, Freeman and Harris were excellent, but even the lesser known actors turned in great performances. It's really hard to rank Eastwood movies when he has so many good ones.
Thoughtful look at Clint's finest. Great job Coby!
A great actor, but an even greater director and story-teller. He's come so far since Rawhide. Just amazing.
I’m sure by now you know but *English Bob (Richard Harris)* is *Prof. Dumbledore* in the first two Harry Potter movies, he’s also the *Emperor* in *Gladiator.*
" deserves got nothing to do with it"
One of my favorite lines. What you think you deserve vs what you get are two totally different things. That's life in a nutshell so to speak. And what it means to me vs what it means to someone else goes to show what a great line it is.
It’s awesome a young girl knows who Gene Hackman and Clint Eastwood are! I thought there were none left. In today’s Hollywood these great men are missed.
I have yet to see a reactor comment on how Bob's accent changes on his way out of town.
Gene did a late 60-early 70s movie a bout a government spy, who becomes hunted, twenty five years later he did basically a sequel with Will Smith! But his biggest role will proly always be, The French Connection! And he was also great in a Denzel movie, crimson Tide!
William Munny knew Ned didn't 'crack' and give him up to Little Bill and his whip. His lies weren't working, so he tried to throw a scare into Little Bill to try to get him to not even try to go after Munny, because he was so mean. "That didn't scare Little Bill did it?" Clint asks the woman. He knew what Ned tried.
I like how English Bob’s accent changed after he’d been humbled.
Richard Harris ..another amazing actor.Watch "A Man Called Horse". Riveting! A fine Indian vs. White man epic.
The coolest & most iconic western ever made...
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY 😎
Pale Rider is another great Clint Eastwood western.
Morgan Freeman has said numerous times that Clint Eastwood is his favorite director to work with.
Clint Eastwood is my favorite actor and director, he’s my hero.
I grew up with westerns my favorite genre… But after this gritty, brutally honest depiction they can Lay it to rest!
Clint bought this script & held on to it for YEARS before finally being ready to make it. Cheers to your eclectic taste O Stunning One! ❤️💐🥂
Possibly Clint's greatest movie - basically a morality play
One of my Aunts got me on to Clint Eastwood in the 80's. He's my boy. Love your reactions. ♥
thank you !
Coby, I saw this in the theater in 1992. One of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you for providing an excellent reaction.
Thanks for watching !
5:24 "That's not true..." How a story exaggerates in the retelling... like the stories written about English Bob, and like the stories of William Munny. Except everything about Munny is true.
40:47 I love the use of the alcohol in this scene. From the start we've heard how William has quit drinking and with it, his "wicked ways". When he learns of Ned, he takes the bottle from the kid and starts drinking - the first drink he's had in years. It's not played big, it just happens, but it shows how he's already changing back to what he was. Great simple filmmaking.
When Clint screened the finished film for the writer he wept. Clint hadn't changed a word of what he'd written, it was THAT good. Apparently, that's something directors don't ever do.
In an interview Morgan Freeman said during the scene where Gene whipped him and threatened to hurt him worse later he didn't have to ACT scared. He BELIEVED him.
I like how this movie shows how the news traveled back then. Word of mouth changed from one person to another, across the distance.
The actor who played " English Bob " was also in " Gladiator ".
Richard Harris
1970 - A man called Horse
An epic western.
One of my favorite movies of all time. The very end…worth the watch just for that…it took my breath away.
Two Mules for Sister Sara with Clint is a classic.
Why do I love watching movies with Coby? 👍👍🙏
A real western an epic is a 1989 1990 mini series called lonesome dove with Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Diane Lane and Angelica Houston. The book and script was so good these Hollywood stars accepted to do it in a time pre Soprano's when it was considered taking a step down to play a roll in TV.
Gene Hackman was a real life Bada$$ He like R Lee Ermey (The DI in Full Metal Jacket) acquired their man’s man persona and acting ability in The United States Marine Corps. Both served their country honourably as Drill Instructors on “Paradise Island” playing a role and Preparing a new group of brave young men every 13 weeks for combat as they taught them what it meant to be a Marine! Semper Fi
I heard that Gene Hackman originally didn't want to do the part until he read the script. Apparently, he took it because the story portrayed the futility of guns.
I've heard it slightly differently - that Clint had to speak to him to change his mind, but over the same issue. He didn't want to glorify violence, so it must have been easy for Clint to make the argument that this film absolutely does the opposite.
It's amazing to think that you hadn't seen any of his Westerns. You are in for a treat. They are my favourites.
Clint Eastwood will always be my favorite action star of all time.
Coby, if you've never seen it, a *really* good Clint Eastwood movie is "A Perfect World" starring Kevin Costner as an escaped convict in 1963. It came out in 1993. I don't think it's as well known as some of his later films but I think you would really like it.
Love your description of Clint. Yes a million times over he’s the GOAT. Unforgiven was a masterpiece. Richard Harris, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman & Clint Eastwood. Real movie stars. Only found your channel today & you are fun to watch these classics with. A lady with great taste. Good luck with your channel. 👍🏻
thank you !
This is an epic movie. Clint Eastwood was the master at western movies but as he has aged his movies have extended to almost all types n have been among the best of them all, for example Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino and a few others
This movie won the Oscar for Best Movie of the Year in 1993.
William Munny drinking upon hearing about the death of his friend Ned is an incredible scene.
One of my favorite films...and it has one of the best lines since Fist Full of Dollars "apologize to my mule" scene lol. "who's the fella owns this shithole?"
This film, felt like a thesis on Violence and how it affects and effects the protagonist & the antagonist, it’s not a fun romp of an adventure but stripping away the facade of macho-6 gun masculinity and reveal the humanity of courage & compassion, and the a-typical hero in this film, is the villain, it has a little of that sobering honesty of John Steinbeck when Little Bill says “I don’t deserve this, To die like this….I was building a house” similar to “The best laid schemes of mice and men, Oft’ go awry” I love this film, simply phenomenal. I often wonder in a small way if Harry Callahan was a descendent of William as his character is based in San Francisco and has the same intemperate demeanor 🙂
One movie Clint Eastwood stared in is one of his best westerns is "Outlaw Josey Wales", a must see!
Another great Clint Eastwood western Coby should react to is "The Outlaw Josey Wales" from 1976. A classic film that still holds up to this very day!!
As soon as the girl told him about Ned being killed you saw him take the first drink and then another and he is right back to his old self. When he pulled the pistol in the bar he didn't miss, that's the old muscle memory of his old ways kicking in. Great story telling. Clint also said he made this movie because most of his westerns glorified the gunfighters and he wanted to do a more accurate western movie. Definitely get into the "Dirty Harry" series.
When I was young, my grandfather always let me stay up late when this came on the television. He'd shoo away grandmother or mother, and they let him have his way. ✌😄
One of the few movies to show the effect of taking another person's life.
An epic western classic. Clint Eastwood acquired the rights to the script in the early ’80s, but held off on making it for years, as he felt he was too young to play Munny. This was his farewell to the western genre, and it won him an Oscar for Best Movie and Best Director. How perfect is that?
Under Suspicion (2000) stars Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Monica Bellucci. Not an action movie, a drama and the acting between Morgan and Gene is top notch. Well worth the watch.
