I just watched
Unforgiven, and I would like to say as a younger
film-buff, I appreciate the classics (such as this film), more than
most new releases today.
Unforgiven takes the sometimes mediocre
western genre and introduces the moral questions of life. Eastwood and
Freeman are brilliant together, and you can also see their vibrant yet
melancholy energy also conveyed in the more recent Million Dollar Baby.
This film is definitely deserving of it's ranking in the top 250.
Although I found the musical score at times a tad soppy, the startling
settings will compensate for any loss in that part. As previous users
have mentioned, the running time may seem arduous at first, but the
gripping action interspersed throughout the film contrasted with the
reflective traveling scenes will keep you engaged. 10/10.
