MATTHEW 25:21 KJV

One of my favorite movies and I like your video
Recommending "Paint Your Wagon", a 1969 comedy western musical film starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin, and Jean Seberg.
This is the only movie you are likely to see Clint Eastwood singing. If you aren't familiar with Lee Marvin, he is another great actor.
Where do you hail from that gave you that charming accent?
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him...
Just words written by people. Well written, but just people.
"Unforgiven" is a flat-out, full-bore MASTERPIECE. Absolutely deserving of the Oscar for Best Picture. A Clint Eastwood MASTERPIECE.
When Clint Eastwood passes away, I’m gonna watch a marathon of his movies to honor him and celebrate his life and career. I did the same for Sean Connery when he passed away
I like the line little bill says when he says," he's got one barrel left,when he shoots take your pistols out anD shoot him down like the mangy scoundrel he is". To me that isn't a hero statement to his deputies. But it is a message to Will money. To try to get him to not shoot him. Hoping the thought of the deputies shooting Will money might get Will not to shoot if he thinks he will get gunned down after he kills little Bill. That's how I look at it.
Exactly right 👍
@@nsasupporter7557why wait? Honor and celebrate his LIFE!
Preach sir!
"We all have it coming"
"Deserves got nothing to do with it"
Two of the greatest lines ever. Chilling.
"It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna' have."
here's another line that makes the cut. I think it sums this movie up well.
In the movie "The Departed" Jack Nicholson say's "We all have it coming. Act accordingly". Both lines from great actors that are a bit chilling.
"Who's the guy that owns this shithole".
yup
So many all time quotes. Even the subtle not so famous ones like, "you ain't ugly like me" or "I'll see you in hell (Bill)....yea (Will)", that simple, resigned affirmation, the best.
the fact that not even you could barely get any words out when Clint started taking a swig of liquor shows how awsome that moment is
The kid is the audience, he's us. We love violence, we glorify it, but when we see the reality of it, we never want it in our lives ever again.
written by david peoples more than a decade before it was filmed. eastwood bought the script and sat on it patiently because he felt he needed "a little more age on him" to play william munney. eastwood said on "inside the actors studio" that its the only script he ever saw that made it to the big screen with no changes whatsoever. the quality of writing is amazing, from having difficulty getting on the horse, to missing the can when he shoots. from "duck of death" to "and burn your house down". every detail was produced word for word from the original screenplay.
He said the same thing about the script for Million Dollar Baby. According to Paul Haggis, the film's writer, Eastwood had read his spec script and was so impressed, he arranged to buy it and decided to star in and direct it himself. Haggis asked him what kind of changes he wanted for the rewrite. This is standard practice, as every director, producer, or star always has changes he wants incorporated into a screenplay not written on assignment. Eastwood told him it was fine, and would be shot as is... So it sounds like Unforgiven wasn't the only script Eastwood said didn't require a rewrite...
I wouldn't stay it's perfect. There are some pacing and tonal issues in the film, though it's hard to tell if those come from the screenplay or the final edit. It may be a case of being too faithful to a screenplay because how things play on paper doesn't always translate to film the same way. Either way, it's still a classic and a deserved Best Picture winner.
@@wtk6069 No one in this thread said it was perfect. Where did you read that?
Amazing
I don’t think this movie would be as impactful if the pacing was faster. Some movies benefit from slowing down the pace prior to an action packed ending. It makes it more jarring. This effect fits with the story perfectly imo.
I love how before he started drinking, all his responses are vague and indecisive. Just "I guess" and "Maybe". But once he realizes his friend was dead and started drinking, he was more certain of all his answers.
That alone proves that Will Munny is Eastwood’s best work as an actor.
Munny calmly drinking while the lady recounted some of the stuff he did in his old life was chilling. Its like the demon in him was waking up. And you see it when he goes after Little Bill. His manner, tone of voice and how he carried himself was different; subtle but unmistakable. He's not the same guy Little Bill beat up earlier.
He had truly become what the priest in Tombstone was talking about:
"He was quoting the bible, Revelations: Behold the Pale horse, the man who sat upon it was Death... and Hell followed with him." You notice Will's horse was pale and the american flag was in that last speech to the Town. Clint was great at *_Showing_* without "Telling".
Thank you for not saying the booze made him do it. So many reviews/comments seem to exploit the whole whiskey bottle scene. Like you said, the demon is within. He is the reaper, the taker of souls, good or bad, women and children and everything that's crawled. With or without alcohol he was who he was and knowing that was his penance. Guns/booze don't kill, people do. When Will heard about his old friend being killed and then a sign put on him, the fuse lit, he was talking through his teeth he was so angry. The "thirst" awakened, then he took a drink. And in the end there was no hero's exit, no sunset, he road off into the darkness with claps of thunder, he was a force of nature, he was death.
Favorite part of the movie too. When she says "He said how you was really William Munny" and he takes a drink at that moment. Just awesome. So much is conveyed with that one swig of whiskey.
Is it coincidence that the sheriff is "little Bill" and Eastwood's "William" aka Bill is the big Bill?
Bill is also a term for a debt come due. The sheriff owes a debt to the town/whores, William owes a debt to his wife etc etc.
The best line in this film (among many) is Gene Hackman's:
"I was building a house."
Even the bad guys are human. As Clint says, "You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have."
Cut my teeth on Eastwood with movies like Hang 'em High, Pale Rider, The Dollars trilogy, The outlaw Josey Wales, 2 Mules for Sister Sarah.. The dark grittiness redefined the western and really made an impression on me as a kid. Enjoyed the commentary. : )
wasn't there a theory that this was an unspoken sequel to Josey wales?
The Unforgiven. One of the greatest movies, and one of the toughest movies to watch. Clint, Morgan, and Gene were absolutely amazing in this movie.
"You just shot an unarmed man!"
"Well he shoulda armed himself if he's going to decorate his porch with my friend."
Best line in the movie!
His "saloon" sry had to
My favorite part of this movie is just after the shootout in the bar when everyone realizes than he really is a stone cold killer and that they had been in the presence of a real monster who would have killed any or all of them. His wife had helped him tame the monster inside himself, had made him want to tame that monster, and when Ned died he let the monster back out again.
The coldest shit is when he straight up says anyone comes out, ima shoot you and your wife!! Fucken love Clint
He did not turn back into the monster that he was. The "monster" that he was is described as a ruthless killer, with no mercy,/compassion who killed indiscriminately (even ruthlessly killing women and children).
In the gunfight in the saloon, he killed for 2 reasons.
1) He killed the men who tortured and killed his friend (Morgan Freeman). Thus he was killing to revenge a great personal wrong.
2) And he killed men who were trying to kill him. (self-defense).
He did not kill the writer. And after the shootout, he showed mercy to others. by saying "Anyone who don't want to get killed, get out". And he let them leave. That is NOT THE ACTIONS OF a crazed monster who is killing indiscriminately. He is killing for 2 very specific reasons.
1) Revenge- which could be argued was justified.
2) Self-defense
He did issue a warning as he was leaving the saloon that he would kill the family/friends of anybody who would try to kill him, but that is the kind of thing one might say to dissuade the people hiding outside from trying to kill him. Whether he would actually carry out that threat is unknown. I tend to think he wouldn't have. There would have been no point in carrying out such killings, and he is no longer someone who ruthlessly kills innocent people in cold blood for no point.
He did take part in 2 killings prior to the saloon shootout, but he did so because he was in serious need of money, and he convinced himself that the 2 guys killed deserved it. And his conscious bothered him about killing them, even though he thought they deserved it. That does not FIT a crazed, ruthless killer who kills indiscriminately.
What the saloon shootout showed is that he still had enough of the "monster" in him, to very effectively let it out, to a limited degree, when he believed it needed to be done. But he did not fully turn back into the crazed, ruthless monster who killed indiscriminately
The point of the movie isn't that Eastwood's character is actually a cold-blooded monster who can't change who he really is. He has changed, to a degree, although perhaps not as much as he would like to think he has.
The movie is a statement on the "OLD WEST" itself. How it was often a violent,
ugly, lawless, amoral place (even the "good people" of the town were complicit in the sheriff's acts, by going along with them). Where the "Good Guys" weren't completely GOOD AND PURE , AND HEROIC and "bad guys" weren't completely bad, and its conflicts weren't simply a matter of good vs. bad, as it has been so often depicted in Weatern movies/tv shows, and Western myth. It was more complicated and murkier than that. To the point where in this movie, a "BAD MAN" (Eastwood) has to bring justice to this town through extreme violence and a desire for revenge
And the movie is a statement that much of the myth of the OLD WEST is just
that; they are myths.
@@keng4847, agreed. The bookend scrolling text in the beginning and end also hint that this story is the genuine gunfighter biography that Beauchamp ends up writing. It fits with the “Rule of 3s”:
Beauchamp originally latched on to English Bob, who proved to be less than the legend. Then, he latches on to Little Bill, but he proves to be a controlling, manipulative bully.
Finally, Beauchamp encounters Munny, who, while previously a notorious criminal, is killing for the perceived right reasons, and actually lives up to the legend.
But the bookends indicate something more. Instead of relying on a single source to write the biography and historical fact of William Munny, Beauchamp interviews those directly or indirectly involved with the man, and tries to reconstruct what he can just to serve as the context for what he personally witnessed.
The movie is both an allegory to America’s “redemptive violence” myth and our military foreign policy (we don’t start wars, but we finish them - hence the big American flag behind Munny as he’s laying down an ultimatum on the townspeople of Big Whiskey to “be civilized, or die!”), as well as a disillusionment of the western myth.
The movie is more about Beauchamp’s disillusionment as a stand-in for the audience who grew up on everything from “The Great Train Robbery”, through “The Searchers”, and into the waning days of “Silverado” and “Pale Rider”.
its that he is unforgiven by himself
You could almost call this an "anti-western." I feel like it didn't glorify the wild west like most western movies, but made you feel like this is more like what the old west was really like.
*Exactly!*
also, did you notice that "William Money" ended up being..... "Behold the pale horse, the man who sat upon it was Death, and Hell followed with him." wasn't until about my 3rd viewing I put it together since his horse was pale the whole time and during that last speech to the town he *WAS* Death incarnate.
I think you could say its a realistic Western
Of course it glorifies killing. I get a charge every time I watch William kill those men.
Yes, the point is how little life was valued, and almost every character was a piece of shit. The men for cutting up the woman, the women for willing to pay for murder, and both Gene Hackman's and Clint Eastwood's characters... both cold blooded killers.
It's a revisionist western.
"I'll have that .32, Bob." I always loved the camera angle being right on Richard Harris' face.
An absolute masterpiece. The best part was when you jumped at the shotgun blast of William killing Little Bill. The echo of the blast, the darkness behind Munny, it is simply beautiful filmmaking.
"Deserves got nothing to do with it."
That was actually Ned’s Spencer rifle that killed Little Bill. One that Will struggled to use earlier, but used it flawlessly when his killer instinct returned. It’s ironic and a little cathartic that a rifle that belonged to Little Bill’s last victim was used to kill him.
You should check out "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976), another Eastwood classic.
". . . he should've armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend"
What a bone chilling line of dialogue.
Great reaction. This film is really the ultimate Western in terms of that genre's arc. Eastwood said he didn't want to make Westerns anymore that were simply badass shoot 'em ups, but wanted to make something where the audience wasn't geared up by the "fun" of violence in movies, but to really examine the horrificness of it. And he does it quietly and ironically. BTW you should get hold of Quentin Tarentino and tryout for his next Western in that excellent attire.
Eastwood's 1992 Unforgiven film was considered his way of saying farewell to starring in western films, despite it was this genre that started his way towards becoming a Hollywood legend & icon. For Unforgiven, Eastwood won the Oscar for Best Director & the film won the Oscar for Best Picture. The next decade, Eastwood's film efforts would again earn him Best Director & Best Picture award recognition for the movie, Million Dollar Baby.
This movie has a deep soul. Whoever recommended it to you has a good eye and a rich heart.
My favorite western ever !!!The whole movie they talk about what a mean bastard William money was but he didn't seem like it .The last 10 minutes "Oh that dude is the fucking Devil himself"!!! I've watched it so many times and it never gets old .
12:34 "The poeple are the weapons" BINGO! Truer words were never spoken.
Now you need to watch Eastwood's Academy Award winning Best Picture "Million Dollar Baby".
I got GOOSEBUMPS from you reacting to him taking that first sip of the whiskey! Great reaction, as always.
"You just shot an unarmed man." "He should have armed himself..."
I love Clint Eastwood. Grew up watching all his movies. My Dad was a weekend father, and he would take me to see movies on the weekends. Clint has a thing for bad guys out of Missouri!! The Outlaw Josey Wales should be one the movies at the top of your list to react too.
Shortest two hours and ten minutes of my life, watching this movie!
They stopped making westerns for a decade after this, it completely changed the genre!
"Well, you sure killed the hell outta that fella today." One of the highlights of the movie for me, when the kid realizes being a killer isn't worth the price of admission. Excellent performance!
Oscar winning masterpiece. I've seen it about 75 times.
That scene with the shot cowboy. That's what brought the theme of the film home for me. No mooks clutching their stomachs and falling over never to be seen again.
Getting shot doesn't always kill you. But it always hurts. There's wailing, bleeding, pain, and the loss of a life. There is only glory assigned in the aftermarket. Like the writer looking for marketable stories.
But killing was, is, and will always be. Just killing.
Repeating the point over and over is the whole point. Will is not talking to Ned or us there, he's trying to convince HIMSELF that he's not like he used to be anymore.
y he is unforgiven by himself
It was also an examination on how media over-embellishes things. The Kid hits Will up because of his reputation as a killer. English Bob rode the coat tails of his own mythology. The movie reveals that the accounts are fairytale versions of the truth. Even at the end, the writer tries to embellish how Will killed Little Bill -- "When confronted by superior numbers, an experienced gunfighter will always fire om the best shot. Little Bill told me that." Will just attributes it to him being lucky.
And further, the genius that is baked in to the writing of this scene is after Beauchamp acknowledges Little Bill's teaching that an 'experienced gunfighter will always fire on the best shot', Will simply attributes it to himself having "always been lucky when it comes to killin' folks", but we know or suspect there's more to it than that. It's not just luck, and instead he appears to have a sort of a dark, hidden, innate talent for self-preservation by killing people.
Before the credits roll and the writing talks about him disappearing with the kids and the description of Muney as "known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition"... tying back to the beginning... I f*cking bawl every single time. That description, there's just something so perfect in the wording. Adore this movie - pure MOOD in movie form. Without question Eastwood's best film.
The best part is when he finds out about Ned dying. while he's listening about what Ned told lil Bill saying who he really is. His first reaction taking that drink after not drinking for over 10 years it's so good.
27:26 - Will turned to the Dark Side. It's on now!
The minute he grabbed that whiskey bottle, you just knew shit was going down.
Notice that when Will first takes a drink is right when the woman says who he really is. It is in that instant that he reverts to the man he really is.
My favorite Clint Eastwood movie, just ahead of "The Outlaw Josey Wales".
Love the cinematography in this film, and the music score.
I've watched 50 reactions to the scene where he starts drinking again. You, and like only one other got the magnitude of the scene and the coming violence that it foreshadowed. Great reaction!
What's interesting is that Little Bill is the local funny guy. All the jokes in the film are made by him, and he's really on point with them. Yet he's a real bastard.
..and last but not least - a shitty carpenter.
Yours is the first reaction i've seen that truly grasped the importance of Will drinking from that bottle when he heard that Ned had been killed. Well done!
Listen, girl-if you liked Unforgiven-you've got to see Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It's a classic.
You are my favorite.The first
time I watched this movie, my thoughts and comments internally were completely insinc with yours. You get it. Morgan Freeman obviously Wills best friend, a bond that can never be broken. Here comes the rain, thunder and lightning. The minute that Will takes the bottle from the kid, it’s on like Donkey Kong . He avenged his best friends life!! So poetic!
Gene Hackman is one of the best actors of the last half century.
Almost all movies are entertainment, some more entertaining than others. This film is art.
Yes. So many ways to enjoy. Whether casually like you would any movie...Or quietly just soaking in the cinematography. Or intently listening to the simple yet also poignant old style dialog/writing ("you ain't ugly like me", dozens of all time quotes honestly) along with the incredible musical score (and perfectly placed thunder caps during final bar scene). Just watching the struggle of the Reaper himself, the taker of souls good or bad, dealing with the penance of knowing that's who he was, is, and always will be...never earning a hero's exit, no sunset, only riding off into the darkness. Yeah, they should teach college courses on this film.
I most certainly agree. It ignores a lot of tropes that were established in most westerns, and portrays the west as it actually was. An unforgiving place with unforgiving characters, hence the title Unforgiven. It deserved the Oscars it won and was nominated for.
First reaction I've seen that catches his first drink instantly. Great movie and reaction.
When he took a swing of whisky, the audience knew sh!t is about to go down!
Perhaps my favorite movie quote all time is "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."
Love watching your reactions! The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, is a Clint Eastwood classic!!!
Wow great reaction sweetie! Not many people catch the importance of the liquor on their first viewing. I've seen it so many times. The sound when he snatches that bottle for the first time gives me chills, every time.
God I love you. You really get these slow burning movies. Fantastic reaction
You might also enjoy "Million Dollar Baby", another collaboration with Morgan Freeman. Hillary Swank won an Oscar for Best Actress; Morgan Freeman won.for Best Supporting Actor; and it was Best Picture in 2004. So, it may be worth a look.
I enjoy your commentary.
Essentially no edits to original screenplay. Clint tries best to keep film in accordance with script and he also lets actors go with their instincts. Very few takes. Morgan Freeman loved working with him. You can find Morgan talking about him on UA-cam as his favorite director.
"Spit on a rich fella" - you can killed for that cracks me up! 😅
Just FYI, the guy that played English Bob is actor Richard Harris. He also played Maximus Aerilius in Gladiator.
He also had a huge hit back in the 1960s, “McArthur Park”. Great song. Check it out if you get the chance.
If you want to see another Clint Eastwood film with Gene Hackman, check out Absolute Power. Awesome thriller. Also, want to check out another western checkout Silverado, a western from the writer of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire Strikes Back. If you want to see one of Gene Hackman’s most iconic films, check out Hoosiers, best basketball film put on film, and really shows how much basketball is part of Indiana’s culture even in present day.
One of the things I find interesting about Unforgiven is that the essential characters all come from a dark past and have no problem about killing other people. There are no upstanding, clean-cut heroes in this movie. It was just as Little Bill said right before Will finished him off, "I'll see you in hell, William Munny." It is evident, however, that Munny is having misgivings after he kills the cowboy in the hills. The look on his face as he's tossing the peebles says it all.
I've seen this film several times and have concluded the central character in this story is W.W. Beauchamp. I suspect that since he was an eyewitness to the events that gradually unfolded, that the story was written from his POV. Instead of being on the sidelines writing 'as-told' stories for a living, he finally gets an up close and personal experience that he's been thirsting for as a writer. When the smoke clears, Will Munny disappears, Bill Daggett and Ned Logan both end up dead, all of the assorted characters scattered afterwards and the one person left at the end of it all is W.W. Beauchamp. An absolutely a superb film that purposely does not romanticize the way people lived in the west in the 1880s.
There are many scenes in this movie that are gems in my mind. I literally dropped my jaw at the scene when Will Munny struggled to saddle his horse. At that point, I was captured and knew it was going to be an interesting film. Of course the "don't get wet" comment from Little Bill is a golden one--pun intended. Overall, the one that I always thought was intriguing (and comical, as well) was the way Beauchamp dumped English Bob the moment he found someone else he thought was a reliable source. That was the turning point that told me he was more than just a minor character. Then the big reveal is the final scene where we see him standing alone in the rain watching Will Munny riding away. That was my 'ah-ha' moment.
Loved your reaction and I've subscribed hoping to see more of the same. Cheers t'ya!
What I like about this film the most (and it's one of my favorites) is how William Munny just doesn't seem that scary, throughout the movie until the very last scene. Then you're like "Oh, yeah. Now I get it." ;) Needed more Morgan Freeman though. His character exits too soon.
Freeman's character exits too soon?
But that's how things happen in real life sometimes, whether by car accident, sudden heart attack, a high fall or getting beat to death. Sometimes people just suddenly....die.
@@philosopher0076 Yeah, but it's MORGAN FREEMAN!
"i always get lucky when it comes to killing folks"
Coldest line ever
“All I know is who’s gonna be last.”
Dumbledore got his tail whooped.
You should react to "The Searchers". This is acknowledged by many as the greatest Western film directed by the greatest director, John Ford ( four Academy Awards). This story is roughly based on true events. Watch Steven Spielbergs commentary on this film is very interesting and informative.
I will second these opinions. Fact check; True!
I love me some Unforgiven. Deserving’s got nothing to do with it.
If y'all haven't seen it yet, you need to start with the film that created the legend 'Fistful of Dollars' 1964. It's the film that made Clint famous and created his whole 'anti-hero' persona. 'For a Few Dollars More' and 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' are awesome also but 'Fistful' is still my favorite of the 3.
This is my favorite western.
Btw, "Alice" was also Mrs. Eastwood at the time.
One of my favorite subtle touches is the way English Bob drops the pretense the last time we hear him talk. "Ya got no lahs, no 'onoh! you lottsa blood savages." Speaking with a very street-level English accent in place of his more posh tone.
Just to be clear Davey Boy didn't do anything wrong. He tried to stop his friend the moment he realized what he was doing. Davey Boy, Ned, most of the deputies, didn't deserve t obe murdered. The only reason their deaths are celeberated is because we are following William Munny. It is a very grey morality. Even Little Bill, it can be argued whether he deserved death. Outside of what he did to ned, most everything he was doing was to secure and protect the town from murderers. People he had dealt with in his youth.
Williaam was convinced the entire time that he was a changed man. A lot of people misinterpret the ending as a valiant return to form. It isn't. It's William Munny allowing the monster to come out one last time to avenge his friend. Indeed, both Ned and Will talk about the things that he did. Everyone does. How much of it is entirely true is intentionally left vague by the fact that every story told in the film is called into question around it. Whether it's the exploits of English Bob, or the fact that people get specific details about Will's stories wrong IE when Ned points out that Will killed three men in one situation, not two... or the game of telephone with the story about the woman's injuries.
Another one of my favorite elements of this film. It acts both as a deconstruction of the romanticized western that existed for decades, and it also acts as a pseudo origin story via the works of Mr. Beauchamp and people of his ilk, who would go on to pen stories about Wild Bill Hicock, Billy The Kid, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, Jesse James, Calamity Jane... The entire lexicon of Western heroes and legends. Those stories about real figures then evolved into works of pure fiction, ala the Dollars trilogy, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, Outlaw Josey Wales... On and on, right back to Unforgiven.
Hello Californiablend, let's raise a glass to " The Duck of Death ".
Great reaction as always, Californiablend. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And btw, this movie was nominated for and won a bunch of Academy Awards. It won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and was nominated for Best Actor, and Best Screenplay etc.
Unforgiven is a cautionary tale of gun violence. More so the consequences of gun violence. Like the kid said “it’s all on account of pulling the trigger”.
The 'Duck of Death'....priceless
Glad to see you enjoying this film. I suggest Pale Rider by Clint, another amazing story. Directed and starred by Clint like this one.
Ending is amazing, don’t want to spoil anything.
Amazing film
This has been my number 1 film since it was released. Just brilliant.
You must be an old head! Because growing up in Southwest Philly that's what we used to say "Salty" when you said that it instantly took me back to my youth!
1:27 that look lol
10:31 Little Bill knows the girls are going to pay $1,000 to who ever kills the two the cut up Delilah, and he wants to make an example of English Bob, so no others will come to collect. this is one of my favs, Clint is an amazing director, and actor! glad you checked it out! 👍
My boy Clint is a triple triple triple OG
you knew hells fury was coming as soon as Will drank that whiskey.
In The Line of Fire, is another Eastwood movie you might like.
Gene Hackman is a phenomenal actor. Time for Mississippi Burning reaction.
Next up: “The Outlaw Josey Wales” is my recommendation.
Seconded 👍
...my favorite western, and one of my top 10 of all movies.....the most jarring part of the movie is how CLINT EASTWOOD can't shoot, or even get on a horse!!!!!.....(until it was "showtime," of course).....glad you enjoyed it. thanks for posting.
This is one of the best reactions I have ever seen. The vibe was immaculate and you described it perfectly. Subscribed🤝
I had the same reaction when he hit the bottle . Isaid he is getting right to go to work
SO hard not to skip to the end to see your reaction to the bar scene. Good review, you've got a good eye/ear for the important themes and character arcs.
The epilogue love letter to the Western genre, showing a more realistic side to that kind of life, and how reality is often embellished in stories. In the old Westerns it was so easy to shoot down a hundred people, but that's not reality. It's not easy physically or psychologically.
Great movie. Pretty much all Eastwood movies are are. A Perfect World and Mystic River are two of my favorite!
I can only speak for myself but in my mind there is no question at all. 'Unforgiven' is the best Western ever made.
when he said “Yea” to little bill you can see how he excepted that he will never be forgiven for the things he done
Well, seems like the next logical step to complete a perfect trifecta review series on Clint's director/actor role that draws you in up close and personal is "Million Dollar Baby". It won't disappoint! Looking forward to it. After that I would jump back to another old time western favorite "High Plains Drifter" where he acts and directs. He has that familiar stiff necked, gruff tone that never gets old and seems to work with all his characters and story lines. I'll be waiting!
Appreciate the bible verses!
Wow, Caliblend! I like you. One of my favorite movies, I saw it in the theater with my grandmother. Great job, I will definitely watch more
Two of my favorite movies from Clint are this one and gran torino which both of your reactions were excellent, only seen about 5 of your reaction videos but you've already cracked my top three reaction channels. 😊
You are the best at reactions and film analysis I have seen. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic reaction and review! We may differ on one point though; you said after Ned died Will became a different man but I suspect it was the first time in the movie that we saw the real William Munney. Like he didn't change so much as he just stopped pretending. Maybe you meant that too or maybe I'm off-base but that was my takeaway. Keep these reactions coming! You got awesome taste in movies 🤘
You’re respect of these two heroes regardless of race is why I’m following you!
Great movie. First time I saw this movie I did not like seeing Client Eastwood as an old cowboy after seeing and loving his old classic westerns (like The Dollar trilogy you should see that also ) but now I love it. You should see other great Clint Eastwood movie like Dirty Harry , Absolute Power, Escape from Alcatraz, In the Line of Fire. Also a great Gene Hackman western is the Quick and the dead. If you really want to watch Westerns you have to watch Clint Eastwood Dollar Trilogy. Also another great almost unknown comedic western is My Name is Nobody 1973 with Terence Hill and Henry Fonda. It is a really funny western.
I just watched this and your reaction to Will taking that drink... You just knew that something was coming for him to drink like that.
Clint Eastwood is a National Treasure, he's the original Badass!
Arnold, Stallone, the Rock, etc. all came after Clint Eastwood.
Check out his iconic Spaghetti Western Trilogy from the 60s,...
..... "A Fistful of Dollars", (1964), "For a Few Dollars More", (1965), and "The Good the Bad and the Ugly", (1966).
Oh, and the 5 "Dirty Harry" movies!
Little Bill can read just fine, he's calling English Bob "Duck of Death" as deliberate mockery.
Pale Rider is another great Eastwood flick I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Great movie, I also loved Pale Rider. It’s another one of his great westerns
