DUers, Is the Eastwood flick "Unforgiven" worth a watch?

[Maddy McCall]

It's coming on Starz in a sec. Was wondering what you all thought about it.

[benburch]

1. Yes.

His best work.

[democracyindanger]

2. Absolutely

One of Clint's best efforts, both as actor and director.

[Modem Butterfly]

3. It's amazing, but not an "up" picture, if you know what I mean.

[GOPisEvil]

4. Abso-freaking-lutely!!!

I own it on DVD. It's VERY good!

[Mr. Blonde]

7. I was in the movie store the other day

and was pissed to find out there is a SE dvd when I only have the regular edition. I almost don't want to buy any old movies in case a SE comes out.

For anyone interested two outstanding movies are coming out on SE in Feb. Heat and Raging Bull. I suggest checking them out if you haven't already.

16. I have the 10th Anniversary Edition!

Great film.

[Maddy McCall]

Thanks guys. Going to watch it now.

Hope you all have pleasant evenings. :hi:

[livinginphotographs]

5. Yes!

Not his best work (as some have said) but definitely good.

Stay away from "Bloodwork" though. That was utter shite.

[AlCzervik]

6. oh yeah, very good movie

[DS1]

8. Worth the time

but not as stunningly amazing as DUers would have you believe ;-)

[Taverner]

9. Yes. Strong anti-violence, anti-revenge message

"Kid, we all got it coming. Some sooner than later."

[KittyWampus]

10. Best Modern Western Ever.

[democracyindanger]

13. Well, unless you include any episode of "Deadwood"

[bettyellen]

11. Best Clint since Dirty Harry....

[Floogeldy]

12. One of the greatest movies ever

You will never have thought so much about what it means to kill a person after watching that classic.

[wicket]

14. Oh yes!!! Clint rules!

:kick:

[Zomby Woof]

15. YES!

A must see. Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman are in top form, and Eastwood redeems his westerns by showing how violence not only WORSENS and ESCALATES with vengeance, but has CONSEQUENCES. A masterful acting and directing job by Eastwood. Deserved its Oscars in '92!

[NightTrain]

17. Every man I know who saw "Unforgiven" loved it. But...

...every woman I know who saw the film didn't like it. Go figure. :shrug:

[HeeBGBz]

18. I'm female and I thought it was excellently done

The actors and story good. Some fine thoughtworthy dialogue. Overall, it depressed me and I can't really say I liked it. It had a deep regretful sadness about it. Well done and I probably would watch it again.

[Bok_Tukalo]

19. It sure is. It's called "Shane"

<eom>

[Floogeldy]

20. No, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Bok_Tukalo]

21. You are correct. I was confusing it with "Pale Rider"

My mistake.

I retract.

[NoStinkinBadges]

22. Not one of my favorite Eastwood movies.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. According to James Lipton of Inside the Actor's Studio fame

Clint Eastwood is a genius and "Unforgiven" is one of his best films ever. My husband loves that movie, I don't like violence so it doesn't appeal to me. To each his own.
