Haven't seen a bad Eastwood movie yet. The "Any which way but loose" movies were funny, with a sanguine tilt. Josey Wales, Unforgiven, and The Spaghetti Western trilogy were dark, but showed redemption. The list goes on... 👍
John Vernon always added a little je ne sais quoi to the Clint experience that I miss from older movies. They talk of the, “wunderkind,” directors of the 1970’s; the auteurs like Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg and so on. But they rarely mention Eastwood in that same breadth, despite this example manifesting as one of the very earliest descontructionist westerns (or, “post modern westerns”) of its day that also happened to be a smash hit. It’s consciously ambivalent tone, both conservative and liberal simultaneously bit deep at the time and resonated with audiences. And it still has so much to say to current audiences in that ever divided land. Just a damned good story well told, with memorable performances from an excellent cast, speaking words from a script that is deceptively elegant in its straight forward simplicity. Hard to find a better western.
I agree, the scene with Ten Bears and the dialogue exchange still is relevant today. The Academy isn't fond of Eastwood because he is always on time with his films and never over budget. And yet he continued to turn hit after hit.
It's comforting to know there are older men also watching these classic UA-cam clips. I'm in my 30s but my dad who passed away 20 years ago watched old movies all day long... John Wayne was his favorite, but he watched all the old westerns over 100 times... I miss him.
They're a long way from Virginia and General Grant. But yes, for the most part the surrender terms for regular Confederate troops were very generous. Interestingly, his ruthless march through Georgia during the war notwithstanding, Sherman offered the most generous terms of any Union general.
This wasn’t in Virginia and Grant wasn’t in charge at this surrender camp. Red legs and the Union soldiers that massacred those men were the same ones that destroyed Josie’s farm and raped his wife. There were some renegade Union officers that enjoyed hating, killing and humiliating innocent civilians just because they lived in a Confederate state.
This ain't Grant though, is a US Senator men and a but of Jayhawkers (Northern militia raiders) given a Federal commission. Chances are this massacre will be covered up and swept under the rug.
The use of the Gatling gun was well done except, none of the horses was getting hit even though the blue soldiers were standing right in front or near those horses.
Almost fifty years, and still a semi-guilty pleasure. And not based on a 50's black & white Japanese samurai film! ( yeah, weird. Stagecoach, with John Wayne, was a Japanese favorite. )
@@jrobbin24 It's the other way around. The Magnificent Seven was a remake of Seven Samurai, but Yojimbo was a remake of Fistfull. And both of the latter were loosely based on Dashiell Hammett's story Red Harvest.
@@alexgramm5170 Yes, back then it was the Southern Democrats aka Dixiecrats. Nowadays those same people would be diehard Republicans. When's the last time you saw a Dem waving the Confederate flag?!?
@HB-forensics, if you're going to imply that a Democrat wrote this story, please provide evidence. Otherwise, stop spreading propaganda. Karen Harris will be a fine president, whether you want to admit it or not.
The Federal men were executing the Rebs who surrendered and Josey saw that and rode in to interrupt it.. hoping to save some I would think. He launched his own counter-attack.
Josey wasn't a slave owner though or fighting for slavery, he was a mountain man who's family was killed by at the time non registered militia "Jayhawkers" Josey just wanted to kill them not fight the entire US And his Journey after this scene isn't so much to "Rise Again" as its to simply leave the known United States and live in peace, maybe get some revenge along the way cause Captain Redleg there doesn't know when a fight is not worth fighting. This story isn't trying to glorify the South its telling the tale of a man who happened to be southern who got caught up in something he didnt ask for like alot of civilians during war time
In the light of what this nation has seen in the last decade I can't say I like this movie as much as I used to. This movie is revisionist confederate crap that amplifies the racist tripe that there are "good people" on "both sides". Which is not surprising for a Clint "empty chairs" Eastwood film.
There were good people on both sides. The fact that one side's _cause_ was bad doesn't change that. Don't fall for revisionist myth that's just as simplistic as the myth it replaced.
Actually its surprisingly well executed Josey wasn't a slave owner he was a mountain man, he fought for revenge not slavery His nemesis in the film was a Jayhawker a non registered militia who just so happened to get a government commission AFTER the war Josey's journey isnt to "Rise again" its to find a place to live in peace and maybe get revenge on Captain Redleg along the way Say what you want about the Reb army or the Feds. but in war there are ALWAYS people caught in the middle who didnt ask for any of it
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but as much as I absolutely adore Unforgiven, I like The Outlaw Josey Wales more.
I kinda agree. This was a really good movie
My all time favorite western.
Josey: Ok ✅
I love both but Josey Wales is top to me. As I age I don’t want to watch movies over and over but these two will always be in my rotation.
Josey has been my favorite Eastwood movie since I was a young boy
Masterpiece. The gold standard of western films.
It doesn’t get any better than this.
Great for showing that NOBODY can trust the amerikkkan regime.
Byebye GEN OCIDE joe and HOLO CAUST harris
Without doubt the best Western ever made.
Also also pale Rider And unforgiven. Unforgiven starts out a little slow , but the boy howdy What an ending !
Not even close. That honor goes to Sergio Leone's, "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly".
That’s Once Upon a Time in the West.
@@andrewtrotter9023 the best non-Eastwood western for sure!
High plains drifter is also pretty good
This is Eastwood's masterpiece. Also one of the most quotable films of all time.
The two best Clint Eastwood movies ever are, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Don't bother trying to change my mind.
What about “Dirty Harry?” Or…”High Plains Drifter?” (Was my all time favorite) and my other is…”Kelly’s Heroes.”
Haven't seen a bad Eastwood movie yet. The "Any which way but loose" movies were funny, with a sanguine tilt. Josey Wales, Unforgiven, and The Spaghetti Western trilogy were dark, but showed redemption. The list goes on... 👍
I'm sorry, but his best was "Paint Your Wagon".
@@jeffdege4786
Ive seen that…it was a great movie…
I’m not gonna. I like them all. Non Western stuff to. Any way but Loose,
Outlaw Josef Wales is a kick ass classic western.
This is my favorite Clint Eastwood movie
A masterpiece.
Great example of what happens when you turn in your weapons.
Just ask English Bob. As soon as he handed that 32 over Little Bill beat him within an inch of his life
Funny how we manage without in the UK.
Manage being the key word. Not sure being empty handed would do in this sort of situation.
@@chris6559 you have mass stabbings
@@chris6559 Mean while in East London:
*Slaps Folder on the table* 26 stab wounds
Didn't like westerns til I got older.
Loved this one as a kid; the touch of humor and quick draw shootouts.
By far his best film
Outlaw Josey Wales is my absolute favorite western and Eastwood movie. It's ironic that the scene and dialogue with Ten Bears is still relevant today.
John Vernon always added a little je ne sais quoi to the Clint experience that I miss from older movies.

Vernon had the finest barytone voice of his generation. Accidentally, he was the Mayor in Dirty Harry.
Wow! Will have to watch this one for sure!
I'm 56. You must be young. Yeah, watch this FOR SURE!
1976?! Jeez I’m old.
Me too
It's good
But it sucks
The way it's all changed
I was a Freshman in college. Still one of my favorite movies!

The greatest movie ever made, bar none!
AGREE!
OBSERVATION...no dumb camera shake, just good cinematography so you can see whats going on
Actually General US Grant let the Confederate soldiers retain their rifles and horses. Look it up!
these weren't Confederate regular soldiers, more of Missouri raiders
General: Move!
They're a long way from Virginia and General Grant.

I see....Never surrender your guns.
How about a new 4k scan blu ray WB? Pleeeeeease?
Great movie. Amazing actor. Sad war.
A massively unrated movie!!!
One of the greatest movies made to date.....👍
My Fathers favorite Western.
I' swear that the young guy that escapes with Clint is the Cisco kid from The Unforgiven.
Yes he is.
@nickarth669
Cheers mate., you. "Made my day"😎
Eastwood's best ! 🤠🇺🇸
The use of the Gatling gun was well done except, none of the horses was getting hit even though the blue soldiers were standing right in front or near those horses.
Just because you lost ........it doesn't mean you're beaten.
You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie…
Almost fifty years, and still a semi-guilty pleasure.
And not based on a 50's black & white Japanese samurai film!

Hey! Fistful of Dollars is incredible no matter if it was a remake of Yojimbo or not
@@jrobbin24 It's the other way around. The Magnificent Seven was a remake of Seven Samurai, but Yojimbo was a remake of Fistfull. And both of the latter were loosely based on Dashiell Hammett's story Red Harvest.
Ace Eastwood at his best 👍👍
Movies used to be so good...
My 3 great grandfather was 64 Georgia Infantry died after scheduling to be released from prison 10-31-1864….
Blimey, that gatling mag goes on and on and on.....
Love this film
Not a cell phone in sight. Everyone just being in the moment.
'Fletcher' is played by John Vernon.
"Double secret probation "
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
@@DavidTucker-e2j Zero point zero
wow that gatling gun has a limitless ammo !!!
indiscriminate as well, it did not care who it killed but could not hit a horse.
I think each magazine was 50 rounds. Maybe 100 if double stacked.
The winners write the history books
Dean Wormer gonna put Josey Wales on double secret probation.
Hero Status ❤
Favorite
Clint Eastwood is my father...
My longlost brother, is that you..?😢
BS
welcome to southwest missouri....mind your manners .
Really different to see John Vernon play something other than a villian.
Buenas película no me aburro de verlo
This story was written by a ranking Klansman, btw.
Must have been a Democrat then.

cope harder
Not many know that the novel eas eritten by a KKK lesder invthe 50s in defense of the South in tha civil war
Wow. I would never have know that from the film. It's so balanced in it's viewpoint.
Hate to be nitpickin', but that banjo had a shiny new bright white plastic head on it, coulden't they at least find an old skinhead banjo...?😂
Mark going to respond she called Corrales map already
Voting day
Capt. Tyrrel wants Josey to squeal like a pig.
ruggedly handsome bastard
I prefer the light blue shirt. Otherwise all good here.
Any in Eastwood movie
So the title of the vid is.." Josey ambushes the massacre..". What does that even mean ?
The Federal men were executing the Rebs who surrendered and Josey saw that and rode in to interrupt it.. hoping to save some I would think.
He launched his own counter-attack.
JOSEY: Thanks 🙏
Quisiera escuchar en español
I hve enjoyed every CE movie bit hate the spitting🤮
unlimited ammunition.
🤓🙋♂️❤👍
Let’s see another movie making a hero out of traitors. Oh poor southern boys who supported racist plantation owners.
Josey wasn't a slave owner though or fighting for slavery, he was a mountain man who's family was killed by at the time non registered militia "Jayhawkers" Josey just wanted to kill them not fight the entire US
And his Journey after this scene isn't so much to "Rise Again" as its to simply leave the known United States and live in peace, maybe get some revenge along the way cause Captain Redleg there doesn't know when a fight is not worth fighting.
