"Unforgiven" by Yojimbo

An ex-gunslinger comes out of retirement to collect the bounty on a pair of cowpokes who disfigured a young prostitute. Clint Eastwood directs and stars in a deconstruction of the myth of the old west that examines the kind of man who would exist in a society which provides mean drunks and arrogant, prideful boys with lethal weapons. Saul Rubinek's author of the romanticized versions of the stories provides the eyes through which the myths are dispelled as Gene Hackman reveals the truth behind them. But even Little Bill, himself little more than a brutal thug with delusions of grandeur, revels in his own exploits and it is only Eastwood's reformed killer who shows any shame or wish for redemption for his past actions.

Unforgiven is more than a Western

Unforgiven is more than an action packed Western. The fist fight, gunplay and adversarial confrontation, were the best acting of Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman. Plus, the movie delved into friendship, honor, and justice from the point of view of a wild killer who had become a peace loving farmer. Out of honor, this peaceful farmer with two children was drawn back into his former life, to right the wrong against a woman denied justice just because she was a prostitute. The man of honor could not accept that. Justice was incumbent upon him. When his only friend died at the hand of the ruthless sheriff, the former outlaw lost all restraint. With methodical precision he confronted a saloon full of hard, tough men and blasted them to pieces. When the gunsmoke cleared, the guilty had fallen an...
