Watch Unforgiven For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Eastwood has said he sat on the script after buying it because he was just not old enough for the Muny character! Harris, Freeman, and others were so memorable--those of us from the arid west know it was am area grey--not black and white characters and Eastwood carries this out--even beyond Pale Rider. This is it--the logical end to the American affection with the WIld West. I loved it and it will take a lot to carry out the sense of the wild west. Hw finally got what my home state of Montana was about! Belated congrats Clint and company--including Hackman who had questions about the anti/yes support of gun rights and the others. LDgreu

When a reward is offered for the killing of the men who disfigured a prostitute, a young man recruits an aging former gunman who's left his violent past behind him to seek them out.Eastwood the director isn't that different from Eastwood the actor. Both simmer, with their silences saying far more than their words. A simple story that's nevertheless a deep character study, Unforgiven is just such a slow burn, exploring subjects like mythmaking, regret and aging in a world that's as gray as a storm cloud.The cast is impeccable. Eastwood does double duty as director and star, and he's surrounded by expert hands like Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris. Given a strong, meaty script they bring Eastwood's harsh frontier to life and create a modern classic.

There is much to like about 'Unforgiven', a classic Western with a difference. For the most part it lives up to all expectations. The plot is relatively simple and slow moving, featuring a climactic shootout that is typical of the genre. What sets the film apart from others of its kind is the characters. 'Unforgiven' features a fascinating and contrasting bunch of characters, ranging from complex and thoughtful characters like Eastwood's to the charismatic and entertaining 'English Bob'.Unlike the conventional Western, there's also no obvious 'good' and 'bad' guys in 'Unforgiven' and the audience isn't told who they should route for. This only works because of the depth of the characters - had they been under-developed, the blurred lines between good and evil probably wouldn't have worked. Overall, 'Unforgiven' is a very good Western and one of the most memorable in the genre.

The directing and editing of the film are amazing. The story is told in extremely fast pace, with full-bodied characters depicted along the way. The performances of Eastwood, Hackman, Freeman and Woolvett are particularly noteworthy. The final action scene that Will kills Little Bill is especially breathtaking. The audience keep wondering if Will will be shot by the people in the town.
