One thing to notice is that Will’s horse is constantly being unruly when he is sober and trying to be a nice guy. Almost like the horse doesn’t recognize him. However, once he becomes his murderous drunken self, the horse is calm. It knows its true master has returned. Will is Death and his steed is the pale horse.
that's interesting. I read it as the farm horse resisting being drawn down the road toward Wil's return to murder - the way animals always seem to know when evil is near. But by the time Will fully becomes his old self, the horse has been transformed into his pale horse along with him. Both lose the humble character they had had on the farm.
@@holddowna I'm not saying it was right, not defending the guy who slashed that woman's cheeks, but it does highlight the risk of being a prostitute. That's a notoriously danger line of work to get into, now as then. It's a bit odd, though, to call a prostitute a lady.
@@holddowna When Eastwood's character talked about shooting that drover, it reminded me of Wyatt Earp in Tombstone saying I already have a guilty conscience, may as well have the money to go along with it.
'English Bob' is played by the inimitable Richard Harris. He played the Emperor Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator and the first Professor Dumbledore in Harry Potter. One of the best actors ever.
It’s movies like this that I really see his son, Jared Harris in him. They are both fantastic actors.

And "A Man Called Horse", another astounding movie, filmed on an era of westerns, when they depicted very badly the native americans. He also played Abbe Faria on "The Count of Monte Cristo" (2002). He was an incredible actor.
Clint Eastwood bought the rights to the screenplay and held onto it for 10 years until he looked older and more believable. Now, that's someone who takes filmmaking seriously. Unforgiven won the Best Picture Oscar and Best Director (Clint Eastwood).
Clint Eastwood made it clear: William Muny was no hero nor was he a sympathetic figure. That's why it was mentioned several times he's killed women and children. NO ONE who kills women and children is a good person on any level. He was a hired gunman who got paid $ to kill and he also killed for vengeance after his friend Ned was killed. Clint wanted to draw back the curtain on this role.

In todays america, cops decorate their police station with the bodies of many innocent people and its even on video to laugh at ... and no murdering cop ever end up in the morgue or in prison for it.

Saul Rubinek (Beauchamp) was interviewed and said Clint bought the script and held onto it for 10 yrs. Saul said when a script is re-written, colored pages indicate the re-writes. Saul said when he received the script, all script pages were white - no re-writes. It was that good.
I was completely blown away the first time I saw this movie. A total masterpiece. Amazing performances by actors at the top of their game, particularly Gene Hackman. It's a very unusual Western, the way the whole topic of killing a man and how difficult it is becomes the primary focus of the movie. The ending is just so powerful! It's got to be a candidate for the greatest Western movie ever made. I was never a big Clint Eastwood fan growing up, but I became one after seeing this movie.
To me this is the best western of all time. Its like an amalgamation of all the gunslinger characters that Clint ever played just trying to redeem themselves and have some kind of good life after all of the killing. His speech at the end, that whole scene in my opinion is one of the best in film history. A masterpiece.
Clint Eastwood is synonymous with Westerns. High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, The Good The Bad and The Ugly... all legendary films. Eastwood wanted to keep the sets pristine so all camera equipment and such had to be brought to the set on horse drawn cart to keep from making modern tire tracks in the streets of the town.
I don't remember if it is an Eastwood movie, but there's that one movie where they are on a train station platform at the beginning and the windmill water pump has a squeaky bearing in it. That was a mood.
In an interview , Clint Eastwood said he called Richard Harris at his home in the Bahamas to ask if he wanted to play English Bob in the movie. Richard Harris was watching High Plains Drifter and thought it was a crank call.
I saw this movie when it first came out. Was totally blown away by it. I love the fact that even the minor characters are well-developed and well-acted. This is one of those movies I've watched over and over and it never gets old.
My favorite western. I just love how much this film challenges your senses of morality and justice. There is no clear hero or villain. Everyone is just a different shade of gray.
Clint is a very special director. His movies are completed on time and under budget. He shoots most of his scenes in one take, because he knows that a quality movie is about storytelling and atmosphere, not about getting the "perfect" performance of each individual scene.
This film excoriates violence. I loved that one comment when sheriff "Little" Bill Dagget comments on gunfighters: "They've got no sand, no character, not even bad character."
To fully appreciate this movie, you have to understand how it is responding to the tradition of westerns in cinema. Westerns had celebrated violence and killing, as long as it was done by the "good guy." This movie deconstructs the Western Myth. It says, "Killing is never heroic, never glorious; it is always an ugly, disgusting thing." In classic movie westerns, the good guy shot the bad guy, and he fell down dead in an instant. When they shoot Davy in this movie, his death is a slow and ugly thing, which is, in fact, the way it happens with death by gunshot. As Gene Hackman's character explains, the myth of the quick draw is just that, a myth. In reality, a lot of it comes down to luck, and the rest of it has to do with how steady a man's nerves are, which has more to do with how much alcohol he has consumed than anything else. Like Will says, in the days when he did all his killing, he was drunk the whole time. There's nothing heroic or glorious about that. William Munny says it all in his perfect line, which summarizes the theme of the whole movie, "It's a hell of a thing, killing a man; you take away all he has, and all he's ever gonna have."
This movie should be the last Western you watch after having watched the classics like John Wayne, then the Spaghetti Westerns (which Clint Eastwood was a big part of with the Dollar Trilogy), then the modern Westerns (again with Eastwood in movies like The Outlaw Josey Wales or Pale Rider). As said in the above comment, Unforgiven is Eastwood's deconstruction of the myth of a genre he himself was a huge part of. The same goes for Gran Torino which is Eastwood's deconstruction of the lone wolf / lone hero myth which he also was a big part of with movies like the Dirty Harry series. To fully appreciate Gran Torino, you should be familiar with characters / movies like Dirty Harry, Death Wish up to the bigger than life one man armies like Schwarzenegger or Stallone in their prime.
The gut shot scene and the begging for water is often overlooked but would have been very familiar for veterans of the Civil War like William and Ned . It recalls the story of the Angel of Marye's Heights ...
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance should be your next western. It is not Clint Eastwood but it is John Wayne. It also depicts the myth of the west versus reality.
It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.
This is late, but the Scene where Bill gives Mr. Beauchamp and by extension English Bob a chance to shoot, the last click was the first Cylinder of the gun (The one that he'd cocked to line up with the barrel) And nothing dropped out, which is why Bob looked up quickly. That chamber was empty, so even though it was cocked when he would've pulled the trigger it would of fired nothing. And in that space of time Bob could of shot and killed them both with absolutely no one even remotely questioning it.
For an actor that made his bones in westerns, this is Eastwood's best film ever! Not only was it perfect in every way, but he also directed it as well. Not to many players in the Wood that can act and director as well as he does. Great cast as well. 10/10
@@holddowna He did a movie called The Mule and directed that as well. Richard Jewell is another great Eastwood directed film. Both would make a excellent reaction videos
What I love most about the ending is look at Will’s horse and how he responds to him. The horse was terrified of him and was shaking. That horse knew exactly who was riding him.
Clint Eastwood was involved in a lot of movies. Most of them good. But Unforgiven is a stand alone for me. Brilliant, I never get tired of watching it again and again. This is a film I'd love to be in the room with you when you watch it again. It just gets better every time you watch it.
I loved how engaged you were with this movie, especially in the suspenseful scenes. This is my favorite western, because of the way it subverts standard western tropes. It has more impact, however, for those who have seen Eastwood's earlier westerns, where he was the perfect gunfighter. Really happy to hear your excitement about exploring more westerns; it's a rich genre of fine films.
The film is the opposite of the stereotype. It absolutely refuses to glorify the killing. Will becomes the Will Munny of old when he receives the news that Little Bill killed Ned and he takes that first sip of whiskey in a decade. He was terrible until he drank, because his muscle memory was tied to being drunk. Great reaction, a real joy to rewatch it with good company like you.
I have been watching your film reaction videos for a while now and just wanted to say, your analysis is spot on. I am old now, but it is great to see a younger person with the intellect to understand the events unfolding in a film. It has been a real pleasure watching. Thank you.
I live in Southern Alberta about 20 miles from where Unforgiven was filmed. The cinematography was amazing as it captured the raw beauty of the rolling foothills. Not a day goes by that I don't give thanks for living in such an amazing part of the world. Out here, you just hear it referred to as God's Country. Great reaction to this movie. It was like watching it again with an old friend. Look forward to many more.
Eastwood bought the rights to the script and sat on it for over a decade because he didn’t think he was old enough yet to play Will Munney. But when he did……Man, the bench was so deep with great talent on this one. I you haven’t seen him in Gran Torino, you’ve got to watch that as well. It’s not a western but Eastwood delivers another amazing performance.
That's the beauty of this movie- no one is the "good guy." They're all egotistical, they're ruffling feathers, they're creating issues that could have been settled with calmer heads, just like how we do in life.
As you get older this film hits harder. Watch it again in 10 years and then 10 after that. I cant get through it without a couple of tears. The depth of this film goes beyond just a western. That was a great reaction. Definitely got my sub.
Having lived in Wyoming for 25 years and knowing Mr. Eastwood's reputation for authenticity, I was convinced it was in my old home state -- central and east. I'm very very surprised to learn otherwise. Great job.
That's my favorite, followed by "Deserve's got nuttin to do wit it.", and "H3ll of a thing k* a man, you take away all his got..." Then there's the delivery of - "Well sir, you are a c_w_rdly s*!", "I'll see you in h*, William Munny" and "Yeah." - and others. This movie had so many iconic shots, deliveries and lines! CLASSIC!
UNFORGIVEN is among my 5 favorite movies. It was Eastwood's last Western, and he sat on the script for 20+ years until he made it. It's shot in Canada and all the smaller supporting characters were Canadian actors.
One detail that often goes unnoticed is throughout the movie Clint’s responses are often ambiguous. “I don’t know” “I reckon so” etc. But when Gene Hackman says he’ll see him in hell the response is a simple and absolute “yeah.” Also, that final gunfight is the epitome of a Wyatt Earp quote. “Fast is fine, but accuracy is final. You have to be slow in a hurry.”
Definitely add The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More & Pale Rider to your must watch Clint Eastwood westerns. Some great non western Clint to watch, Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, Play Misty For Me, The Gauntlet, Escape From Alcatraz, Gran Tarino, Million Dollar Baby, Trouble With The Curve, A Perfect World, Heartbreak Ridge, Every Which Way But Loose, The Beguiled.
From when the kid starts admitting he'd never killed anyone until Clint says "I aint gonna kill ya kid, you're the only friend I got." is one the greatest scenes in an Eastwood western ever.
Not sure if it would survive modern sensibilities. Wayne is 100% an anti-hero in that. Hell he's almost a villain. Tough to root for a racist antagonist, even if it is The Duke.

@@VonBlade He WAS a racist antagonist. J.W. was a POS
@@VonBlade What is racist about the Comanche kidnapping a female member John Wayne's character's family and them going after her in an attempt to rescue her from slavery? The Comanche were brutal adversaries and slave traders. They warred against the Apache, Wichita and Tonkawa to gain dominance in their region and also had conflict with the Osage, Ute, and Navajo. In no way was John's character "Racist" and the word didn't even appear in English until the 1930s and wasn't really even used until the 1960s. It's a political construct meant to divide people but I digress.
I am a retired police officer. As a child I grew up in the south west ( Actually South EAST NEW MEXICO ) Along the Rio Grande River between Las Cruses NM and El Paso Texas. I remember seeing Indian Tribes at POWWOWs wearing their full indian garb and dancing. We had older members of our church who were real life cow boys back in their day. One old man ( A old Rancher ) at out church was 21 in 1900 Died in 1976 when I was in 6th grade. We moved Back to the area where my parents were from THE MID WEST. I became a police officer and for 3 years on the department I was on the Mounted Horse Patrol ( the last 3 years we had the patrol out of 25 ). I told everyone I WAS A PAID PROFESSIONAL COW BOY as I rode a horse for work every day. Best Job I ever Had.
@@hanng1242 well, when I lived in New Mexico I actually had been on one cattle drive where we drove the cattle into the ranch to brand cattle that had not yet been branded . But as a Mounted Police officer we sometimes had to heard and drive large crowds at special events so it kinda the same principal. But mostly daily as a mounted patrol officer we patrolled in parks and went to schools and day cares and showed the kids the horses and some times gave them rides and spoke to kids about different types of safety issues . We patrolled down town events university home football game events ( tailgate areas ) and such. Mostly it was a form of public relations where police in a car driving around and pass people people don’t get a sense of being able to just talk to the police where we are sitting on a horse people and children always come to pet the horses and talk to the police
You said "he's old" referring to English Bob. What I find funny is that Gene Hackman is actually 9 months older than Richard Harris. Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Richard Harris were all born in 1930.
This movie won a well deserved Oscar for best picture, Ames, and Clint Eastwood won an Oscar for best director. Fantastic reaction to an outstanding movie!!! Well done!!!! 👏👏👏👏❤️
His first Western, Fistful of Dollars changed the Western genre forever. It was a Spaghetti Western, Italian directors, filmed in Spain with mostly Italian and Spaniard actors but a few German, French and of course Americans as well.
Fun fact: The theme song you hear in the credits was co-composed by Clint Eastwood himself (alongside Lennie Niehaus). At the very least, he is involved in the composition of the theme song of most of the films he has directed. He has in fact also composed the scores of a couple of the movies himself (MYSTIC RIVER and MILLION DOLLAR BABY are a couple of examples). Another fun trivia: The Wolverine character in X-MEN (comics and movies alike) is actually based on Clint Eastwood. Hugh Jackman himself admitted that his performance in LOGAN was inspired by Eastwood in UNFORGIVEN.
Richard Harris, one of my favourite actors ever. He utterly broke my heart in 'Camelot.' Just tried to recall some of his other movies and found 'A Man Called Horse.' I remember loving that too and surprised after all these years to find Dame Judy Dench starred in it. Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, great actors. Great cast, great movie. Clint Eastwood sure knows how to make a movie.
What a picture! A tremedous story on it's own and also such a great commentary on the history of the genre, expertly made. Mad that this is 30+yrs old already
The anti-western. A complete demolition of the glamour and mystique of the genre. The cast, the writing, the direction, the cinematography, the score are all outstanding. A truly magnificent film.
I think one of most honest parts of the story is the writers story arc, who turns the stories of evil men into heroic ones, The is a spin doctor of his time, crafting a public image the gunmen want to see themselves as, not simple killers.
Best Western Movie ever! In reality, the fictional town of Big Whiskey, Wyoming was in the Alberta foothills just southwest of Calgary. The river valley and the ranch scenes were shot in the Red Deer River Valley Badlands just east of Brooks Alberta. All great western locations. "You ain't ugly like me, it's just that we both got scars, but you are a beautiful woman and if I wanted a free one I guess I would want it with you". The most affirming movie line ever spoken by a man whose love for a good woman helped him see things more clearly and end his evil ways. Unlike his previous murders, the killing of Little Bill, his deputies and the Cowboy leaned sharply toward righteous acts of vengeance.
I love how they called back to the guy who keeps his head is liable to win in a gunfight over the faster or better shot. Will was a horrible shot with a pistol but he was the only one who didn't panic in the saloon.
I love westerns, and this one is really special because of the way that it deconstructs a lot of the mythology around the Old West. It's not just a fun shoot-em-up - we see the real effects of this sort of life on the characters. Another fantastic western that is similar in the way it deconstructs the mythology and stereotypes is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Amazing film that slid under the radar for a lot of folks.
Since you're watching The Pacific mini-series you might want to check out Clint Eastwood's companion films Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Both quite powerful and moving.
Clint Eastwood has been doing westerns going back to starring in Rawhide, a black and white tv show about cattle drives in the late 50's and early 60's. He is probably most noted for his work on "spaghetti westerns" as the man with no name. I felt like Unforgiven was a ground breaking western because it did not glorify the western traditions or the violence as most westerns did. It seemed very raw an realistic in its portrayal of western life.
Yes. "English Bob" is just a persona of an upper-class Englishman, I think you need to know something about English class accents to pick up on it. Definitely fits with him having a "biographer" for publicity.
@kmvoss Yes, it's a great little detail, and now I know where Tarantino got the idea for Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth) in _The Hateful Eight_ , who does the exact same thing, going from an upper class accent to working-class cockney. I love how we can go back to older movies and realize how often they influence subsequent filmmakers.
The line "We all have it comin', kid," is the very heart of this movie. It's the ethos of the film in six words and one of the most painful sentences ever spoken in a movie. I feel no exhilaration watching the ending shootout. I just feel sorrow and regret for Will falling back into his old, wicked ways. It's crushing.
If you are trying westerns, I have a suggestion. I haven't seen any reactors watch "Lonesome Dove" yet. It's a great western mini series with a much younger Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Danny Glover, and many others. The long form storytelling of a mini series and the iconic performances of those great actors let's you really fall in love with the characters.
UNFORGIVEN!!!!! Where basically Sheriff Little Bill Daggett is the "Hero: (but the Antagonist) and Outlaw William Munny is the "Villain" (but the Protagonist)
Listening to your list of Westerns: I must add The Wild Bunch. Great cast, for my money the best western all time. Groundbreaking at the time. It was in AFI top 100. Not sure if it’s still. And I love the old great ones: High Noon, Shane. Finally McCabe and Mrs Miller, though not a classic of the genre……….an amazing film.
*Richard Harris* (English Bob) plays *Prof. Dumbledore* in the first 2 Harry Potter movies and the Emperor in *Gladiator.* PLEASE watch *Arlington Road* starring *Jeff Bridges* (The Big Leboswki) and *Tim Robbins* (The Shawshank Redemption); and for another good western watch *The Quick And The Dead* starring *Russell Crowe, Gene Hackman, Sharon Stone* and *Leonardo DiCaprio.*
A lot of movies that Clint has done when he was an older man have a lot of scenes that are darker or his face is half lit. Another of his great movies "Gran Torino" is like that as well as a few others. It allows you to kind of forget his age.
This movie is not for everyone but it's an american masterpiece... It's in my top 5 .. I watched in the theater and to this day.I'm still captivated by it... I enjoy watching other people see it for the first time...✌️ Have you seen Grand Torino?,,, It's another,,, Eastwood masterpiece.. Or check out : high plains drifter
My vote this is the absolute best western movie Hollywood ever made. There are many greats. But this one.... damn! The actors, the writing, the directing, the editing, the costumes, makeup, editing. Just untouchable is Unforgiven.
This is by far his best movie. Gene Hackman correctly got Best Supporting Actor. My only regret is Eastwood never had a scene with Richard Harris, in this movie or otherwise. I'dve loved to see English Bob and Munny square off.
Two comments: 1. got to hand it to Jaimz Woolvett as The Schofield Kid who was/is hardly known and was able to go toe-to-toe with greats Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. 2. Doesn't have to do with this movie directly, but compare Gene Hackman's performance here to him in the Royal Tennenbaums to get an idea of his acting range.
The Schofield Kid: It don't seem real. How he ain't gonna never breathe again, ever. How he's dead. And the other one, too. All on account of pulling a trigger. William Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. William Munny: We all have it coming, Kid
1000 split 3 ways didn't seem like a lot but choice land by a railroad line cost $4.76 an acre on average in 1880. But a good saddle horse with saddle and bridle was approaching $275, which may explain the horse Mr. Munny had. Oh yeah, gold was $20.67, so just over 16 oz. each. At todays gold price that's $37,295 each.
I've watched many reactions to this iconic film, which I saw in the theater when it was first released. Your reaction was the very best I've seen, and your editing did the film justice because, unlike others that I've viewed, you maintained the continuity. I really liked how you appreciated the film's nuances and structure as well as its realistic and sometimes humorous portrayal of this period. Great job!! Thank you!❤❤❤😊😊😊

I don't remember if it is an Eastwood movie, but there's that one movie where they are on a train station platform at the beginning and the windmill water pump has a squeaky bearing in it. That was a mood.
Doesn't even name his best western
@@Anon54387 Not an Eastwood, but it is from a (very great) Sergio Leone movie: Once Upon a Time in the West.
You did not mentioned my favorite movie of Clint Eastwood “ The Outlaw Josey Wales”
In an interview , Clint Eastwood said he called Richard Harris at his home in the Bahamas to ask if he wanted to play English Bob in the movie. Richard Harris was watching High Plains Drifter and thought it was a crank call.
"It's a hell of a thing, killin' a man. You take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have." That's one of my favorite movie lines ever!
I saw this movie when it first came out. Was totally blown away by it. I love the fact that even the minor characters are well-developed and well-acted. This is one of those movies I've watched over and over and it never gets old.
My favorite western.
I just love how much this film challenges your senses of morality and justice. There is no clear hero or villain. Everyone is just a different shade of gray.
Came here to say this. It's definitely not a white hat vs. black hat kind of movie.
Clint is a very special director. His movies are completed on time and under budget. He shoots most of his scenes in one take, because he knows that a quality movie is about storytelling and atmosphere, not about getting the "perfect" performance of each individual scene.
This film excoriates violence. I loved that one comment when sheriff "Little" Bill Dagget comments on gunfighters: "They've got no sand, no character, not even bad character."
To fully appreciate this movie, you have to understand how it is responding to the tradition of westerns in cinema. Westerns had celebrated violence and killing, as long as it was done by the "good guy." This movie deconstructs the Western Myth. It says, "Killing is never heroic, never glorious; it is always an ugly, disgusting thing." In classic movie westerns, the good guy shot the bad guy, and he fell down dead in an instant. When they shoot Davy in this movie, his death is a slow and ugly thing, which is, in fact, the way it happens with death by gunshot. As Gene Hackman's character explains, the myth of the quick draw is just that, a myth. In reality, a lot of it comes down to luck, and the rest of it has to do with how steady a man's nerves are, which has more to do with how much alcohol he has consumed than anything else. Like Will says, in the days when he did all his killing, he was drunk the whole time. There's nothing heroic or glorious about that. William Munny says it all in his perfect line, which summarizes the theme of the whole movie, "It's a hell of a thing, killing a man; you take away all he has, and all he's ever gonna have."
This movie should be the last Western you watch after having watched the classics like John Wayne, then the Spaghetti Westerns (which Clint Eastwood was a big part of with the Dollar Trilogy), then the modern Westerns (again with Eastwood in movies like The Outlaw Josey Wales or Pale Rider).
As said in the above comment, Unforgiven is Eastwood's deconstruction of the myth of a genre he himself was a huge part of.
The same goes for Gran Torino which is Eastwood's deconstruction of the lone wolf / lone hero myth which he also was a big part of with movies like the Dirty Harry series. To fully appreciate Gran Torino, you should be familiar with characters / movies like Dirty Harry, Death Wish up to the bigger than life one man armies like Schwarzenegger or Stallone in their prime.
The gut shot scene and the begging for water is often overlooked but would have been very familiar for veterans of the Civil War like William and Ned . It recalls the story of the Angel of Marye's Heights ...
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance should be your next western. It is not Clint Eastwood but it is John Wayne. It also depicts the myth of the west versus reality.
It is a great movie, as is "Rio Bravo" also with John Wayne.
Also 'The Shootist', John Wayne's last movie, filmed as he was dying of cancer.
Jimmy Stewart was a waist of film
The Outlaw Josey Wales is Eastwood's best Western imo this is a close second.
High Plains Drifter for me.
I agree, The Outlaw Josey Wales is a fine Clint Eastwood western, but Unforgiven is without a doubt his best western.
It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.
Joe Kidd
Not just his best but the best ever made. An absolute masterpiece and just a fraction over Unforgiven
This is late, but the Scene where Bill gives Mr. Beauchamp and by extension English Bob a chance to shoot, the last click was the first Cylinder of the gun (The one that he'd cocked to line up with the barrel) And nothing dropped out, which is why Bob looked up quickly. That chamber was empty, so even though it was cocked when he would've pulled the trigger it would of fired nothing. And in that space of time Bob could of shot and killed them both with absolutely no one even remotely questioning it.
GRAN TORINO next…another Eastwood absolute banging movie
For an actor that made his bones in westerns, this is Eastwood's best film ever! Not only was it perfect in every way, but he also directed it as well. Not to many players in the Wood that can act and director as well as he does. Great cast as well. 10/10
He’s amazing!
@@holddowna He did a movie called The Mule and directed that as well. Richard Jewell is another great Eastwood directed film. Both would make a excellent reaction videos
Agreed. "He should of armed himself if he is going to decorate his salon with my friend" - Best line ever.
So happy you viewed this. Excellent movie. Turns the Western gunfighter trope on it's head. "We all have it comin', kid". Haunting
What I love most about the ending is look at Will’s horse and how he responds to him. The horse was terrified of him and was shaking. That horse knew exactly who was riding him.
Clint Eastwood was involved in a lot of movies. Most of them good. But Unforgiven is a stand alone for me. Brilliant, I never get tired of watching it again and again.
This is a film I'd love to be in the room with you when you watch it again. It just gets better every time you watch it.
I loved how engaged you were with this movie, especially in the suspenseful scenes. This is my favorite western, because of the way it subverts standard western tropes. It has more impact, however, for those who have seen Eastwood's earlier westerns, where he was the perfect gunfighter. Really happy to hear your excitement about exploring more westerns; it's a rich genre of fine films.
Eastwood's melancholy masterpiece. His doctoral thesis on the Western genre.
The film is the opposite of the stereotype. It absolutely refuses to glorify the killing.
Will becomes the Will Munny of old when he receives the news that Little Bill killed Ned and he takes that first sip of whiskey in a decade. He was terrible until he drank, because his muscle memory was tied to being drunk.
Great reaction, a real joy to rewatch it with good company like you.
I really like how all reactors notice when Will starts drinking again because they know that was his murder juice.
I have been watching your film reaction videos for a while now and just wanted to say, your analysis is spot on. I am old now, but it is great to see a younger person with the intellect to understand the events unfolding in a film. It has been a real pleasure watching. Thank you.
Wow! Just Wow! What a great reaction. This is one of my favorite movies.
Clint is my generation’s John Wayne.
I live in Southern Alberta about 20 miles from where Unforgiven was filmed. The cinematography was amazing as it captured the raw beauty of the rolling foothills. Not a day goes by that I don't give thanks for living in such an amazing part of the world. Out here, you just hear it referred to as God's Country. Great reaction to this movie. It was like watching it again with an old friend. Look forward to many more.
Eastwood bought the rights to the script and sat on it for over a decade because he didn’t think he was old enough yet to play Will Munney. But when he did……Man, the bench was so deep with great talent on this one. I you haven’t seen him in Gran Torino, you’ve got to watch that as well. It’s not a western but Eastwood delivers another amazing performance.
That's the beauty of this movie- no one is the "good guy." They're all egotistical, they're ruffling feathers, they're creating issues that could have been settled with calmer heads, just like how we do in life.
As you get older this film hits harder. Watch it again in 10 years and then 10 after that. I cant get through it without a couple of tears. The depth of this film goes beyond just a western. That was a great reaction. Definitely got my sub.
Unforgiven is my favorite movie of all time.
Pretty good fave of all time choice!
Filmed in southern Alberta, I remember there was a lot of buzz around at the time about Clint Eastwood filming a western just south of Calgary.
I wonder if Clint Eastwood thought: "why didn't we film the spagetti westerns up here?" 😂
A woman I knew pretty well was a riding double in it. When you see the cut up girl riding out to see Clint in the distance it’s her.
Having lived in Wyoming for 25 years and knowing Mr. Eastwood's reputation for authenticity, I was convinced it was in my old home state -- central and east. I'm very very surprised to learn otherwise. Great job.
"We all have it coming, kid".
That's my favorite, followed by "Deserve's got nuttin to do wit it.", and "H3ll of a thing k* a man, you take away all his got..."
Then there's the delivery of - "Well sir, you are a c_w_rdly s*!", "I'll see you in h*, William Munny" and "Yeah." - and others.
This movie had so many iconic shots, deliveries and lines! CLASSIC!
UNFORGIVEN is among my 5 favorite movies. It was Eastwood's last Western, and he sat on the script for 20+ years until he made it. It's shot in Canada and all the smaller supporting characters were Canadian actors.
One detail that often goes unnoticed is throughout the movie Clint’s responses are often ambiguous. “I don’t know” “I reckon so” etc. But when Gene Hackman says he’ll see him in hell the response is a simple and absolute “yeah.” Also, that final gunfight is the epitome of a Wyatt Earp quote. “Fast is fine, but accuracy is final. You have to be slow in a hurry.”
Thanks for watching!!
He gives a straight answer when the girl asks him about his wife too - "Is she back in Kansas?" "Yeah, she's looking over my young ones".
Definitely add The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More & Pale Rider to your must watch Clint Eastwood westerns.
Some great non western Clint to watch, Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact, Play Misty For Me, The Gauntlet, Escape From Alcatraz, Gran Tarino, Million Dollar Baby, Trouble With The Curve, A Perfect World, Heartbreak Ridge, Every Which Way But Loose, The Beguiled.
From when the kid starts admitting he'd never killed anyone until Clint says "I aint gonna kill ya kid, you're the only friend I got." is one the greatest scenes in an Eastwood western ever.
Best classic western ever: "The Seachers" with John Wayne. His best performance ever; he should have received and Oscar.
Not sure if it would survive modern sensibilities. Wayne is 100% an anti-hero in that. Hell he's almost a villain. Tough to root for a racist antagonist, even if it is The Duke.
@@VonBlade He WAS a racist antagonist. J.W. was a POS
@@Marco-vw3mv for me, its Red River!!!!
@@VonBlade What is racist about the Comanche kidnapping a female member John Wayne's character's family and them going after her in an attempt to rescue her from slavery?
The Comanche were brutal adversaries and slave traders. They warred against the Apache, Wichita and Tonkawa to gain dominance in their region and also had conflict with the Osage, Ute, and Navajo.
In no way was John's character "Racist" and the word didn't even appear in English until the 1930s and wasn't really even used until the 1960s. It's a political construct meant to divide people but I digress.
Star Wars ep4 is a retelling of "The Searchers" ... in space.
I am a retired police officer. As a child I grew up in the south west ( Actually South EAST NEW MEXICO ) Along the Rio Grande River between Las Cruses NM and El Paso Texas. I remember seeing Indian Tribes at POWWOWs wearing their full indian garb and dancing. We had older members of our church who were real life cow boys back in their day. One old man ( A old Rancher ) at out church was 21 in 1900 Died in 1976 when I was in 6th grade. We moved Back to the area where my parents were from THE MID WEST. I became a police officer and for 3 years on the department I was on the Mounted Horse Patrol ( the last 3 years we had the patrol out of 25 ). I told everyone I WAS A PAID PROFESSIONAL COW BOY as I rode a horse for work every day. Best Job I ever Had.
Even though you didn't guard, herd or drive cattle? 😜
I don't mean to be rude, but why are you going on and on about your life story? Tooting your own horn. What does that have to do with this film?
@@hanng1242 well, when I lived in New Mexico I actually had been on one cattle drive where we drove the cattle into the ranch to brand cattle that had not yet been branded . But as a Mounted Police officer we sometimes had to heard and drive large crowds at special events so it kinda the same principal. But mostly daily as a mounted patrol officer we patrolled in parks and went to schools and day cares and showed the kids the horses and some times gave them rides and spoke to kids about different types of safety issues . We patrolled down town events university home football game events ( tailgate areas ) and such. Mostly it was a form of public relations where police in a car driving around and pass people people don’t get a sense of being able to just talk to the police where we are sitting on a horse people and children always come to pet the horses and talk to the police
@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 This is the real question.
You said "he's old" referring to English Bob. What I find funny is that Gene Hackman is actually 9 months older than Richard Harris. Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Richard Harris were all born in 1930.
Outlaw Josey Wales....amazing film.
This movie won a well deserved Oscar for best picture, Ames, and Clint Eastwood won an Oscar for best director. Fantastic reaction to an outstanding movie!!! Well done!!!! 👏👏👏👏❤️
I've heard Gene Hackman won as well?
@@aMulliganStew Correct! Best Supporting Actor.
It was fun hanging out with you. Your commentary and charisma was appreciated
His first Western, Fistful of Dollars changed the Western genre forever. It was a Spaghetti Western, Italian directors, filmed in Spain with mostly Italian and Spaniard actors but a few German, French and of course Americans as well.
Clint starred in Rawhide for years before the Dollars Trilogy.
@@poman1976 That's TV. I guess, @sca88 was talking about movies.
"Deserve's got nothing to do with it" (49:28)... one of the best lines in the whole movie.
Fun fact: The theme song you hear in the credits was co-composed by Clint Eastwood himself (alongside Lennie Niehaus). At the very least, he is involved in the composition of the theme song of most of the films he has directed. He has in fact also composed the scores of a couple of the movies himself (MYSTIC RIVER and MILLION DOLLAR BABY are a couple of examples).
Another fun trivia: The Wolverine character in X-MEN (comics and movies alike) is actually based on Clint Eastwood. Hugh Jackman himself admitted that his performance in LOGAN was inspired by Eastwood in UNFORGIVEN.
I always thought that Jackman was Eastwood's love child.LOL.
Claudia's Theme is the name of the song.
Richard Harris, one of my favourite actors ever. He utterly broke my heart in 'Camelot.' Just tried to recall some of his other movies and found 'A Man Called Horse.' I remember loving that too and surprised after all these years to find Dame Judy Dench starred in it. Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, great actors. Great cast, great movie. Clint Eastwood sure knows how to make a movie.
What a picture! A tremedous story on it's own and also such a great commentary on the history of the genre, expertly made. Mad that this is 30+yrs old already
If you liked Unforgiven then you will love The Outlaw Josey Wales. It’s my all time favorite western, watch it.
One of the finest Westerns ever filmed! It began the trifecta , Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and Gran Torino..
❤
Outlaw Josey Wales and Pale Rider. Two of Eastwoods best movies
Can’t wait to see those!
The anti-western. A complete demolition of the glamour and mystique of the genre. The cast, the writing, the direction, the cinematography, the score are all outstanding. A truly magnificent film.
I think one of most honest parts of the story is the writers story arc, who turns the stories of evil men into heroic ones, The is a spin doctor of his time, crafting a public image the gunmen want to see themselves as, not simple killers.
Another Clint Eastwood western you would probably like is Pale Rider. It's a great show.
The best western ever made and the only one that made me cry for real. All those actors are so good in this.
Best Western Movie ever! In reality, the fictional town of Big Whiskey, Wyoming was in the Alberta foothills just southwest of Calgary. The river valley and the ranch scenes were shot in the Red Deer River Valley Badlands just east of Brooks Alberta. All great western locations. "You ain't ugly like me, it's just that we both got scars, but you are a beautiful woman and if I wanted a free one I guess I would want it with you". The most affirming movie line ever spoken by a man whose love for a good woman helped him see things more clearly and end his evil ways. Unlike his previous murders, the killing of Little Bill, his deputies and the Cowboy leaned sharply toward righteous acts of vengeance.
Pale Rider is another Clint Eastwood Western I highly recommend
Cool!
Pale Rider is a good one! 🤠
One of the very best Western movies EVER made!
I love how they called back to the guy who keeps his head is liable to win in a gunfight over the faster or better shot. Will was a horrible shot with a pistol but he was the only one who didn't panic in the saloon.
I love westerns, and this one is really special because of the way that it deconstructs a lot of the mythology around the Old West. It's not just a fun shoot-em-up - we see the real effects of this sort of life on the characters. Another fantastic western that is similar in the way it deconstructs the mythology and stereotypes is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Amazing film that slid under the radar for a lot of folks.
It's funny when the little girl asks "Did Pa used to kill folks?" She's not expressing dismay. She's expressing disbelief.
Since you're watching The Pacific mini-series you might want to check out Clint Eastwood's companion films Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Both quite powerful and moving.
I will for sure! In due time!
A young Richard Harris in "A Man Called Horse" is also a good Western
Clint Eastwood has been doing westerns going back to starring in Rawhide, a black and white tv show about cattle drives in the late 50's and early 60's. He is probably most noted for his work on "spaghetti westerns" as the man with no name. I felt like Unforgiven was a ground breaking western because it did not glorify the western traditions or the violence as most westerns did. It seemed very raw an realistic in its portrayal of western life.
17:52 Never noticed English Bob's posh English faltering until watching this reaction. Subtle!
Great reaction to a classic film.
Yes. "English Bob" is just a persona of an upper-class Englishman, I think you need to know something about English class accents to pick up on it. Definitely fits with him having a "biographer" for publicity.
@kmvoss Yes, it's a great little detail, and now I know where Tarantino got the idea for Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth) in _The Hateful Eight_ , who does the exact same thing, going from an upper class accent to working-class cockney. I love how we can go back to older movies and realize how often they influence subsequent filmmakers.
The line "We all have it comin', kid," is the very heart of this movie. It's the ethos of the film in six words and one of the most painful sentences ever spoken in a movie.
I feel no exhilaration watching the ending shootout. I just feel sorrow and regret for Will falling back into his old, wicked ways. It's crushing.
One of the greatest endings ever!!
My favorite thing about this movie is how they took out the glamor in taking another person's life, makes it feel so real
Glad you’re watching a good movie like this…..but missing your Pacific reactions….it gets crazy from where you left off
I'm really glad this film did so well. I grew up on Westerns and love the genre. It's nice to see younger people appreciate it as well.
If you are trying westerns, I have a suggestion. I haven't seen any reactors watch "Lonesome Dove" yet. It's a great western mini series with a much younger Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Danny Glover, and many others. The long form storytelling of a mini series and the iconic performances of those great actors let's you really fall in love with the characters.
Madison K Thames has reacted to Lonesome Dove. She's a good reactor and an author in the western genre.
"We all have it coming, kid...."
One of the best delivered Iines to sum up his western movie career.
UNFORGIVEN!!!!! Where basically Sheriff Little Bill Daggett is the "Hero: (but the Antagonist) and Outlaw William Munny is the "Villain" (but the Protagonist)
Listening to your list of Westerns: I must add The Wild Bunch. Great cast, for my money the best western all time. Groundbreaking at the time. It was in AFI top 100. Not sure if it’s still. And I love the old great ones: High Noon, Shane. Finally McCabe and Mrs Miller, though not a classic of the genre……….an amazing film.
A movie so good it killed a genre
No-one can make a better western so why try
One of the greatest westerns ever.
*Richard Harris* (English Bob) plays *Prof. Dumbledore* in the first 2 Harry Potter movies and the Emperor in *Gladiator.* PLEASE watch *Arlington Road* starring *Jeff Bridges* (The Big Leboswki) and *Tim Robbins* (The Shawshank Redemption); and for another good western watch *The Quick And The Dead* starring *Russell Crowe, Gene Hackman, Sharon Stone* and *Leonardo DiCaprio.*
And A Man Called Horse. From 67 I think. The sequel was a money grab though
Dubbledore?
The Quick and the Dead is a terrible western
A lot of movies that Clint has done when he was an older man have a lot of scenes that are darker or his face is half lit. Another of his great movies "Gran Torino" is like that as well as a few others. It allows you to kind of forget his age.
That closing line is absolutely chilling. The superb score only adds to the tension. Magnificent.
This movie is not for everyone but it's an american masterpiece... It's in my top 5 .. I watched in the theater and to this day.I'm still captivated by it... I enjoy watching other people see it for the first time...✌️ Have you seen Grand Torino?,,, It's another,,, Eastwood masterpiece.. Or check out : high plains drifter
My vote this is the absolute best western movie Hollywood ever made. There are many greats. But this one.... damn! The actors, the writing, the directing, the editing, the costumes, makeup, editing. Just untouchable is Unforgiven.
Easily in the top 5 westerns of all time. Highly recommend MILLION DOLLAR BABY for Clints next one..Best Picture winner
This is by far his best movie. Gene Hackman correctly got Best Supporting Actor. My only regret is Eastwood never had a scene with Richard Harris, in this movie or otherwise. I'dve loved to see English Bob and Munny square off.
Two comments: 1. got to hand it to Jaimz Woolvett as The Schofield Kid who was/is hardly known and was able to go toe-to-toe with greats Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. 2. Doesn't have to do with this movie directly, but compare Gene Hackman's performance here to him in the Royal Tennenbaums to get an idea of his acting range.
The Schofield Kid: It don't seem real. How he ain't gonna never breathe again, ever. How he's dead. And the other one, too. All on account of pulling a trigger.
William Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
William Munny: We all have it coming, Kid
Strawberry Alice was the mother in Titanic and Skinny had a memorable performance in " The Heat of the Night".
1000 split 3 ways didn't seem like a lot but choice land by a railroad line cost $4.76 an acre on average in 1880. But a good saddle horse with saddle and bridle was approaching $275, which may explain the horse Mr. Munny had. Oh yeah, gold was $20.67, so just over 16 oz. each. At todays gold price that's $37,295 each.
Unforgiven and Outlaw Josey Wales are my 2 favorite Clint Eastwood movies
I've watched many reactions to this iconic film, which I saw in the theater when it was first released. Your reaction was the very best I've seen, and your editing did the film justice because, unlike others that I've viewed, you maintained the continuity. I really liked how you appreciated the film's nuances and structure as well as its realistic and sometimes humorous portrayal of this period. Great job!! Thank you!❤❤❤😊😊😊
This is, hands down, the greatest western (with the greatest ensemble cast) since The Wild Bunch. Absolutely mythical on every level.
