Definitely 2 of the best, but then there's also The War Wagon, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sons of Katie Elder (Doc holiday's girlfriend, later in life), The Spaghetti Westerns, Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, ang 'Em High ...
I really liked your reaction to this one, really glad you enjoyed it. Eastwood is just amazing, a fun adventure action film is "The Rookie" IF you just like Eastwoods presence no matter what. If you like suspense thriller I think you'd love "In The Line of Fire". But "Gran Tarino" is always a favorite by everyone. Again thnx for sharing your reaction.
Great reaction to a great movie, man !!! I really appreciated it. I WAS an fan of Westerns all my life and was sad when they slowed down, but Clint Eastwood seemed to be able to keep making them, just not quite as often. As I replied to another poster here ... I agreed with their suggestions of The Outlaw Josie Wales and Dances With Wolves (which I see you've done ... and I'm going there now to see your reaction), but I added The War Wagon (John Wayne), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Paul Newman and Robert Redford), The Sons of Katie Elder (Doc holiday's girlfriend, later in life w/John Wayne, Dean Martin), and the other Clint Eastwood ones, The Spaghetti Westerns, Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, Hang 'Em High, etc. ...
There are some great, great stories out there, told through the western format. Try: Outlaw Josie Wales Magnificent Seven (the original, not the remake) The Searchers The Wild Bunch The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Jeremiah Johnson Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Those will give you a real appreciation of westerns.
Best Western and one of my all time favorite movies. If you like 2 great actors as 2 great characters meeting, you'll love "Heat" with Robert Deniro and Al Pacino. It's the classic cops and robbers but in the 90s, similar this how Unforgiven is to older westerns.
Somehow I wound up with your reaction in my feed and decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed. Loved your reaction video. If you ever wanna react to a good movie and you haven't seen it yet Grand Torino is another brilliant movie directed and produced by Clint Eastwood. Anyway, no obligations as I already subscribed to your channel after watching you react to Unforgiven.
i don't watch reactors who don't have an understanding. The fact that you are dead on with regards to the movie's cinematography, subtle humor, pace and direction got you my sub and notify. Looking forward to enjoying more films along with you.
Love your analysis and sincerity in your reaction. Too many reactors overreact, you are very genuine. "Tombstone" is one of my favourite westerns, Val Kilmer's performance in it is among the best in his career. There are many memorable lines in that movie.
I feel bad for the kid that brought the extra pony. He didnt assault anyone, he was fined, brought an extra pony, and then was murdered. The $1,000 the women got together is worth $36,830 today.
Good eye on spotting the lack of a real villain, or hero. This film was Eastwood's last comment on the genre, the one that had made him famous when he was young. He said in an interview at the time that he wanted to illuminate the fact that the stories and legends of the Wild West were often "a series of random, thuggish acts." No heroes, no villains, or everyone is some measure of both. Cheers!
All of the Clint Eastwood westerns are excellent. Recently The Power of the Dog is very good and very different. The English, a miniseries, that came out in the last six months is just awesome. Bone Tomahawk, also recent, is an outstanding folk-horror-sorta Western. It is a bit brutal though.
Another great "western" is The Proposition (2005), which is set in outback Australia. Directed by John Hillcoat. Screenplay by Nick Cave (yes, the singer). Starring Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone. Truly amazing film. Lawless (2012) is set in Prohibition Era Virginia and features the same trio as The Proposition - Directed by John Hillcoat. Screenplay by Nick Cave. Starring Guy Pearce and Tom Hardy.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is, in my opinion, perfect. Great story, great acting, great music. Also interesting, The Grand Budapest Hotel was shot in 1.33, 1.85, and 2.35. Each ratio was picked because they were popular in the decade they were set.The movie jumps through three time periods; the different aspect ratios tell viewers where they are in the timeline.
I liked your reaction, it was intelligent and you seem pleasant. It's better than watching someone who isn't very perceptive and has personality issues. Good choice of movie too. Thanks. Oh, by the way, the best of the old style westerns is the 1959 film "Rio Bravo," with John Wayne.
There's a good theory that William Munny was the "man with no name" from the spaghetti westerns of the 60's in his retired years. It's worth it to visit those earlier Eastwood films. The point of this movie is that NONE of the characters are "good" and there's no villain other than life itself. Even "the Kid" who was bluffing about his exploits ended up murdering a man at the end of it all anyways. The only innocent was "Davy" who just happened to be in the room when his friend cut up the girl.
If you are interested in other westerns that are great, I recommend The Wild Bunch, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Silverado, The Searchers, High Noon, True Grit (2010), and The Magnificent Seven.
I would recommend The 13th Warrior. Similar to this as non standard to the genre but in the Viking age. Great scenery shots that you like, you would love it.
A rec: Dead Man (1995) is another western for folks that don't dig westerns. It's a helluva movie...one of Johnny Depp's best, it's unique, funny, and shockingly beautiful.
Fun Fact: this was the first film Clint Eastwood knew he wanted to direct... but, he didn't want it to be the first film he directed so he wouldn't screw it up. This film was Eastwood's homage to Sergio Leone, who directed the Spaghetti Westerns that helped propel him to fame.
people love Tombstone which I see you've reacted to. I personally loved Wyatt Earp starring Kevin Costner. Actually I think the name of the movie was just "Wyatt"
Beauchamp's fanboyism brutally mocks the 1950s and earlier Westerns, where gunslingers who were total psychos were portrayed as wholesome Robin Hoods, and sheriffs who were little more than opportunistic thugs were kind-hearted saviors. Unforgiven as a whole was meant to be an epitaph on the genre, but ironically brought it back to life in a more introspective and pessimistic form.
Clint Eastwood lives (or lived - I'm not certain that he is still living - down, I think, near Carmel, a few hours away, and again, not quite sure. ) Our mom was a fan !
I never would've suspected Eastwood for a feminist but he sneaks it in without preaching or hitting you over the head with it. The near slave status of women ("hoors") in this, the feisty girl trying to make it in a man's profession in "Million Dollar Baby", made a deep impression on me. I liked your reaction and will be watching more.
If you want to see other, modern westerns, check out "Hostiles" with Christian Bail and "Geronimo" with Matt Damon and Robert Duvall. Both are great movies.
"He's not a villain." Sorry, but I disagree. Little Bill is a sadist -- the hallmark of a villain. Little Bill mercilessly beats English Bob when he could have peacefully escorted him to jail, psychologically tortures English Bob and the writer by offering them the gun, and tortures Ned to death. But he's also capable of mercy, like when he overlooks the writer's inadvertent insult about his carpentry. And it's ironic that Little Bill's mercy results in his ultimate demise. Because had he been harsher with the two men in the brothel, the women might have been satisfied and not offered the bounty in the first place.
Your conflict over wether or not Gene Hackman is a villain or just trying to keep the town “safe”, ( 16:55 ), is the biggest differentiator between the people I call “American” and those who I would not. Safety is never a justification for tyranny. And freedom is always more valuable than any temporary “safety”!! - Edit : time correction
This movie is all about people trying to be something they are not. Will tries to be a man of peace. Gene Hackman tries to be a good man. The kid tries to be a killer. All fail.
I remember watching this when it first come out ,i was about 14 or 15 , it was and is an awsome film
I'm not particularly into westerns, either, but this one is exceptional. Open Range (2003) is another very good western.
I'm fond of The Outlaw Josey Wales. maybe because I'm from Missoura'
This movie never gets old! Another superb reaction.
This great Western won the Oscar for Best Movie 1993.
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" gets my vote ... or "Dances with Wolves" Dances is an iconic Hollywood movie of epic scale ...
Josey & Dances are 2 of my favorites as well.
Another one I like a lot is the very underrated "Appaloosa" w/Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris.
@@gog583 Same here !!!
Definitely 2 of the best, but then there's also The War Wagon, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sons of Katie Elder (Doc holiday's girlfriend, later in life), The Spaghetti Westerns, Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, ang 'Em High ...
In the Line of Fire and A Perfect World are also Great Clint Eastwood movies.
A Perfect World is fantastic! Love that movie!
Glad I discovered your channel! Excellent reaction and reviews...really really good.

Morgan Freeman, another great actor, producer and director!

Another Eastwood masterpiece.
He embodies Western genre.
Also check out Open Range.
Not an Eastwood film but just as killer.
There are some great, great stories out there, told through the western format. Try:
Outlaw Josie Wales
Magnificent Seven (the original, not the remake)
The Searchers
The Wild Bunch
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Jeremiah Johnson
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Those will give you a real appreciation of westerns.
Loved this reaction to one of my favorite films. I have just subscribed, and can hardly wait for your next reaction.

And great suggestion too!
Peronally I prefer "EL Dorado" over "Rio Bravo"..... Both are Great.....
@@CoastalNomad Right, Howard Hawkes re-doing his hit. It's also good.
Gran Torino and many other movies (I don't know the names of those films were with Clint Eastward).
Clint Eastwood: the good the bad and the ugly (1966)
Oh yeah, I really should do that one, shouldn't I? I haven't seen it yet.
Great reaction and breakdown. You got it right, there were no real bad guys, except the guy who cut up the woman. Just hard life.
Highly recommended is "Million Dollar Baby", another Oscar winner, and also with Morgan Freeman. Hilary Swank is amazing.
just subbed, liked your intelligent comments, best eastwood movie.
*Young Guns 1 and 2*
Best modern Westerns 👌

Thank you for this reaction. Hell or High Water is another fine western, as is Dances With Wolves.
Dances With Wolves is definitely on my have-to-watch list.
i love the movie, i like your vibe, ill be hanging around, ill be recommending...um... no country for old men (2007)
Good call! I've seen that one unfortunately.
I believe this was the first western to win an Oscar for best picture.
It was? That says something!
you have good reactions bro. eastern europe? gonna be watching more. 👍
I would recommend The 13th Warrior. Similar to this as non standard to the genre but in the Viking age. Great scenery shots that you like, you would love it.
And based on a true story.
@@chriskenney4234 That's the one with Antonio Banderas, right? Good idea, haven't seen that one yet.
The anti-western. That's what makes this film so great. Nothing sensationalized. Just pure realism.
A rec: Dead Man (1995) is another western for folks that don't dig westerns. It's a helluva movie...one of Johnny Depp's best, it's unique, funny, and shockingly beautiful.
I saw that one years ago, it was pretty interesting.

Josey Wales is one you definitely should check out, it's my favorite western!
You gotta watch Gran Torino. Eastwood's second greatest film. It's not a western, but Clint is a badass.
If you like Clint. Should watch Grand Torino .........Million Dollar Baby. Both are GREAT movies.
Just a thought.
people love Tombstone which I see you've reacted to. I personally loved Wyatt Earp starring Kevin Costner. Actually I think the name of the movie was just "Wyatt"

I personally feel that the cinematography is so great.
However, I am a nobody.
I am no film expert.
@@julietvelarde3816 Me neither, but the cinematography in this movie IS great!
You need to watch "High Plains Drifter" with Clint Eastwood. It's awesome you will love it!
Noted!
Clint Eastwood lives (or lived - I'm not certain that he is still living - down, I think, near Carmel, a few hours away, and again, not quite sure. ) Our mom was a fan !
Still alive at 92 years old. Another Eastwood flick you should see is Gran Torino.
I never would've suspected Eastwood for a feminist but he sneaks it in without preaching or hitting you over the head with it.

Thanks!
If you want to see other, modern westerns, check out "Hostiles" with Christian Bail and "Geronimo" with Matt Damon and Robert Duvall. Both are great movies.
Another good western: Open Range.
I’m from Hodgeman County!
Gene Hackman , I have heard has been a famous actor.
I'm nobody but ... still looking for that reaction to Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp. Not pressuring you, just reminding you 👍😊😎.
Another great western that doesn't get nearly enough attention: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007).
"The Outlaw Josey Wales"
Good reaction. But you cut out three legendary quotes. Well, I guess everyone knows them by now anyhow. 😏🤔
He keeps saying 'I ain't like that' .. and the one he's really trying to convince is himself.. :)
You're so right!
"He's not a villain."
Sorry, but I disagree. Little Bill is a sadist -- the hallmark of a villain.
Little Bill mercilessly beats English Bob when he could have peacefully escorted him to jail, psychologically tortures English Bob and the writer by offering them the gun, and tortures Ned to death.

Make sure to watch Eastwood's masterpiece, GRAN TORINO.
I have a suggestion, try Hitchcock’s Psycho.
I've seen Psycho, great movie!
If bill had punished them a little harder there wouldn't of been a bounty 🤔
The $1,000 bounty then, is worth $30,000 today.
You have to do Tombstone.
Noted!
...and I just did!
th-cam.com/video/5NVpHYfPz10/w-d-xo.html
This flick is in my top 10 for sure. If u like slow burns, u should check out THE DEER HUNTER or TAXI DRIVER!😅😮tension!
I saw both of them, Taxi Driver is awesome.
Clint is a killer/killer in this movie. Everyones a gangster/killer till clint pulls up! Lol
Tombstone is the only other modern western that comes close to unforgiven.
I think you're right!

Edit : time correction
The best westerns are Tombstone and Open Range. Trust me.
I just did Tombstone! Truly awesome!

Time for Tombstone.
You're right!
th-cam.com/video/5NVpHYfPz10/w-d-xo.html
Check out Gran Torino!
Hackman character is a sociopath.
This movie is all about people trying to be something they are not. Will tries to be a man of peace. Gene Hackman tries to be a good man. The kid tries to be a killer. All fail.
That's a good point!
how's the russkies
Glory and The Equalizer are two good ones.
