    They did shoot "at" Will. The whole point of this movie is that the guy who keeps his head is more likely to hit his targets. The guys that Will killed in the Saloon were panicking, which is why they missed, while Will was calm as cucumber, and took careful aim. There's a saying in gunfighting "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."

    It's just called a Western. A spaghetti Western is a film produced and directed by Italian filmmakers who found the Western an important genre even though those films took place in the U.S. or sometimes Mexico but we're filmed mostly in Spain. Fun reaction. As far as the history of the genre which goes back to the early 1900s UNFORGIVEN is absolutely one of the very best.

    Its such a brilliant movie, not only a great Western in its own right, but also an examination, deconstruction, and kind of indictment of the entire genre, particularly the ones that Eastwood starred in, but also of the background and actual history of the American West. Much of the 'Wild West' that gave rise to the genre was exaggerations (often self-exaggerations) reported in the Press, accentuated by word of mouth, and glamourized by biographers and writers from the Eastern US (all represented by the characters of English Bob and his biographer).
    Really enjoyed your reaction!

    Earlier in the story, Little Bill told Mr. Beauchamp (the biographer) how inexperienced men will panic in a gunfight, try to draw and shoot too quickly and they'll miss. It was a foreshadowing of the gunfight in the saloon, where the deputies were firing wildly and missing, and the experienced gunfighter stayed cool and made accurate shots. Bob Munden would have been proud of him. ;) ua-cam.com/video/8HzCnymSugQ/v-deo.html

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. Keep up the good work.

    The theme of the movie is the fact that William Munney (Eastwood) was only a killer when he was drunk. He became a completely different person than the one his wife knew sober. He didn’t worry about dying when drunk, so he was calm, cool and collected during the shootout. Little Bill talked about that willingness to risk dying, while staying level headed, in the jail scene when they had English Bob in the cell. Little Bill and William Munney were the only cold, calculated killers. Once Little Bill was down, all the deputies panicked, and it cost them their lives.

    It's not a spaghetti western, just a western movie. What's great about this movie is the realism: it is not easy to kill someone; it is not easy to hit what you're aiming at, especially in tense situations where multiple shots are fired; generally, there are no good guys or bad guys - just flawed people on different "teams". The distances at which the shots were fired were realistic as well as the percentage of shots that hit their targets. Of course it's easy to hit a target at arms length, but at +5-meters with a handgun, in a life or death scenario, things are different.

    Bisscute, the gun that the biographer tried to give to the "Duck of Death" WAS loaded, but only with 5 bullets. Meaning that the first chamber was empty. Little Bill would have that advantage in a shoot out, because the Duck's first shot would be nothing...

    Good one, Biss! Clint Eastwood built his career in this genre before venturing out into other types of films and then eventually directing too. You might enjoy some of his early western films like High Plains Drifter or The Outlaw Josey Wales. The Dirty Harry movies are good, police/crime stuff. He even did a musical called Paint Your Wagon. Thanks for sharing this one!

    The genre is "Western". The term "Spaghetti Western" refers to a number of Italian westerns made by Sergio Leone, and others.
    Leone made "Magnificent Seven", which is basically "7 Samurai", but as a western (and there's a sci-fi version too - Battle Beyond the Stars). He also made "For a Fistful of Dollars" - western remake of the samurai film "Yojimbo" (and there's a post-apo version with Rutger Hauer called Omega Doom, Prohibition-era "Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis, and Sword and Sorcery, tits-out version with David Carradine, the one from Kill Bill, called The Warrior, and The Sorceress).
    Sergio Leone also made one of the greatest westerns ever - Once Upon a Time in the West - with Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda playing against type as a bad guy, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robbards.
    My personal favorite western is Rio Bravo starring John Wayne, Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Walter Brennan, and Angie Dickinson. Then there's the 1995 "The Quick, and the Dead" with Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russel Crowe, Lance Henriksen, and Leonardo DiCaprio - really fun watch.

    Great reaction! I am glad you enjoyed it. One of my favorite westerns. There are so many westerns though it is hard to have a best. At least in my opinion. From Clint, the westerns I prefer are the "Outlaw Josey Wells" (which has been mentioned already), and "Pale Rider". They are quote machines if nothing else. For a good comedy western that makes fun of the good guy vs. bad guy trope my favorite is "Rustlers' Rhapsody". Movies to add to your watch list. 😊

    Clint has been working since the 1950s, so there's plenty of stuff to watch. A few of his acting credits that I would recommend are: the first three in the Dirty Harry series: Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), and The Enforcer (1976). Also: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974), The Gauntlet (1977), Every Which Way but Loose (1978), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), Absolute Power (1997), and The Mule (2018). One of his directing credits I'd recommend is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997). Those are some of my Eastwood favorites that'll keep you busy for a while.😜 Plus, I'd love to see you react to them...I truly enjoy your reactions and hearing your perspective. Keep them coming and thank you for sharing with us!

    As a sheriff, Little Bill was violating is oath of office by banning firearms inside the city limits.
    In the US, when a law enforcement officer receives their badge, they take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
    That Constitution has the 2nd Amendment which guarantees the right of citizens to keep and bear arms.
    By making firearms illegal Little Bill was violating the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
    Also, since he was acting under the color of law, if found guilty of violating the Constitution Little Bill could be executed under Federal law if so ordered by a Federal judge for his crime.
    You can see that under U.S.C. 18, Section 242.
    The Federal codification of violation of civil rights under the color of law.

    BISS This is not a spaghetti western. A spaghetti western was old westerns made in the 1960s made by Italian movie producers for the Italian audience. Hence the name SPAGHETTI WESTERN

    • @markhamstra1083
      @markhamstra1083 2 місяці тому +2

      They weren’t particularly made for Italian audiences, but by the Italian director Sergio Leone, and on locations in Italy and Spain standing in for the American West. These films were Leone building upon the myths of the Wild West and the movie tropes established in westerns from the 30s, 40s and 50s, while putting his own new spin on them. Somewhat similarly, _Unforgiven_ builds on the history of movie westerns, even though such movies had fallen out of favor when it was released. In many respects, though, _Unforgiven_ is an anti-western since its protagonist is not the kind of chivalrous hero who would be typical in most earlier westerns. Instead, William Munny is a pitiful character for most of the film, motivated at least as much by desperation and monetary respite as any kind of noble purpose. He does become an avenging angel near the end of the film, which is a typical western role that Eastwood had played many times before, but then we are told that Munny immediately rejected that role, so not quite the usual western hero. Not quite an anti-western since for at least one sequence Eastwood does inhabit the western hero stereotype, but William Munny and the film as a whole never completely fit into the established western film tropes.

      @@markhamstra1083 Vorcha is correct though, Spaghetti westerns were italo-euro productions absolutely made predominately for european audiences. Many of these films were released internationally years later and became hits in other territories. The later US versions, were often lesser films, having been badly recut by american distributors for their american audiences. Also you seem to be confused in associating the spaghetti westerns genre with only one director, Sergio Leone. While Leone would undoubtably be the man most recognised, remembered (and most responsible for the boom in the genre), there were countless other successful movies made by other Italian directors like Corbucci , Sollima, Valerii etc.

    This wasn’t actually considered a Spaghetti Western. Spaghetti Westerns were made in the late 60’s and 70’s in Italy. Clint Eastwood wanted to make a movie that was anti-violence. The next Western movie you would love is Open Range! It stars Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall, Michael Gambon (Dumbledore #2), and Diane Lange. It even has a love story for you…. Speaking of Dumbledore, the actor who played English Bob was Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movies, after he passed, Michael Gambon became Dumbledore.

    The term swine can also refer to the pig family in a general way, and "pig" can be used in referencing young animals. "Hog" will generally refer to animals at or nearing market weight or finished for market. So, "hogs" referred to grown-up pigs.

    I absolutely love this film. It is a slow build with a huge finish.
    I love the imagery of William Money not drinking...then he hears about Ned being killed so he starts drinking, and the "real" William Money finally shows up on screen. And I love how he is riding a pale horse into town like the passage about death in the book of revelations.
    "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
    All these characters have heard stories about William Money, and they think the story they heard was something wildly horrible, but Will and Neb both know the whole story or know of something more horrible that Will has done.
    "...the same William Money that killed women and children?" - Little Bill to Ned.
    "He's done worst than that..." - Ned to Little Bill

    Hmm you need to watch more Westerns before using the "Best Western" title, but it is Clint's best Western, or anti-Western, which I'll get to in a bit. Two big names when it comes to Westerns, Clint's and John Wayne. IMO Wayne's best Westerns are Red River and The Searchers, so its a 3 way tie of best Westerns for me. Now back to the Anti-Western. A lot of Europeans "mythology" are castles, swords & sorcery, knights in shiny armor, etc. To us Americans, our mythology are the tales of the Old West. Heroic white hat cowboys saving the day from the black hat villains. Deeds, people, events are highly exaggerated, like all world myths. This movie is taking away those myths and giving you the brutal reality on how it really was. There are no clear good and bad guys, everyone is a shade of grey. A person's reputation isn't based in fact, but exaggerated as its told by one person to another. There's nothing romantic about the shoot outs, its a bloody mess. Taking another's life will haunt you. This is an excellent movie and deserved every award it got.

    At 37:47 "You're telling me that Will was in the open, and no one shot at him!" Oh they all shot _at_ him, they just couldn't hit him, and this goes back to what Little Bill was explaining to Beauchamp earlier in the movie: they were in too much of a hurry, and they missed. They were making exactly the mistake Little Bill warned about: they didn't keep a cool head. They let themselves get rattled, and in their panicked haste, they failed to take that _little_ bit of extra time needed to be sure of their aim.
    This is actually one of the very few movies to get this right. The idea of the fast draw gunfighter... well, it's not a Hollywood invention. That idea was started by the dime novels around during the frontier era, but Hollywood sure picked it up and ran with it. But what Little Bill tells Beauchamp is actually correct. Wyatt Earp, a famous real-life gunfighter, said the key was to "take your time in a hurry." He wasn't a fast draw artist. At the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, he wasn't even using a holster; coming to the gunfight, he carried his gun in a coat pocket. It wasn't speed that made Earp and the other famous gunfighters deadly, it was exactly what the character Little Bill said in this movie: it was the ability to keep a cool head under fire, and deliver _accurate_ shots.
