What an interesting one! Different from other Westerns I've seen, I think. The loop of violence and how it just keeps going, without a happy ending. Also, you have no clue who to root for. There isn't a clear good/bad guy. Eastwood and Freeman did a great job too!

Imho Unforgiven is the best farewell Movie to the Myth and glorification of old Western. It's also one nasty and uncompromising look at the old west with people neither all good or all bad, usually reacting to the time and circumstances they're in. And the reputations they've had built for them by the various dime novelists whose work littered the land during the last half of the 19th century. The script, written by David Webb Peoples, buzzed around Hollywood for nearly 20 years, even being rejected by some of the cast, before Eastwood picked it up. Clint Eastwood deserved his Oscar for best direction. The plot flowed fluently with some surprises and memorable lines. An instant classic. The cinematography is much different that of 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' or the others westerns Eastwood appeared in. It is a much cleaner and crisp view, yet also being extremely raw. The score, though not used often is very refreshing and moving. The film studies on how much a life is worth. Sometimes it is worthless (see Tarantino or Scorsese films) and sometimes it is a major feature. Usually a film only does one. Unforgiven does both. A life isn't worth the same amount to each person. When a life is taken, it is the killer who decides how much it is worth by how much it affects him. Whether he just lets it slide (Munny and Little Bill) or kills someone and calls it a day (Kid and Logan), because they can't bring themselves to forgetting it. Outstanding Performances across the Board makes this Movie one of the best in the Genre. What a great start to all the reactions i missed. Thanks Mary. One more thing i nearly forgot. Their was this scene at the campfire when Munny and Logan talked to each other if he had really changed and their was this one moment of realization. I think this scene was so well layered cause you could get the impression he might had come to the realization that he never changed but there could also be the realization and fear that he might fall back into his old self. I dont know if Eastwood ever thought about that or i overthink it but this could also implicate that he realized that his believes in his wife, she had changed him, was false but i guess Munny wasnt that thoughtful to think about what this all could mean to his realtionship to his dead wife.
