William has changed in love and family, from a drunken gangster to a kind peasant who can't ride a horse for a long time. But forced to make a living, and also because of the invitation of the old man's son, he picked up the revolver and rifle again. Although he already hated killing, this time he heard the target's crime and hardened his heart. This film shatters the myth of the traditional western that people long for. The disfigurement has been added to the stigma and turned into sadism. The deeds of the legendary English Bob of a dozen or seven are all fabricated. It should have been the unselfish sheriff who was punished too lightly in order to calm things down, but imposed severe sentences on those who violated his ideas. , the former fierce killer behaved like a coward to the sheriff who made trouble for him when he had a fever, the "thug" wanted by a prostitute would cry when he was shot and beg for mercy, the little cowboy who said he had killed five people was actually It's also bragging. After killing the first person, I'm extremely scared. I drink and cry. There will still be people like him, just like Xie Xiaofeng in "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", there are still young people after cutting off his thumb. I want to challenge him. At the end, William came to the pub alone, killed the sheriff and police officers and the unarmed boss who wanted to shoot him in front of everyone, and announced loudly that he was here for revenge before leaving, if anyone dared to come in the future. Bullying prostitutes, he will come, and then ride away in the rainy night, those who want to attack him dare not kill him after listening to his words, the prostitutes also come out to watch, he left another legend. But I believe that he will never be a murderer of women and children, maybe he was, and he is definitely not now. There are slow-paced guitar songs at the beginning and end of the credits, which may confirm William's mood. I don't know why I remembered MacArthur's words, veterans never die, they just fade away.

    #资料馆留影##伊斯特森林影展# A black western film suitable for midnight appreciation. Because of this film, I can see what the western film in the heart of the old cowboy is. It is old and evil enough. It is definitely not the same as Hollywood. The hero saves the United States, but the world of Yingying Gougou insists on the only trace of morality, and the protagonist is definitely not a so-called peerless hero, who only pulls out a gun and immediately shoots the enemy into a sieve. He can be a heinous villain or take risks for money. Ordinary people, can also be prodigal sons who have drawn their swords to help each other...This film does not have much pleasure and enmity, but the tragic and heroic lateness of the hero, restoring the image of a true western cowboy, an anti-routine western movie, and the most authentic western movie. , The last western. The forever western cowboy went away, and the real Eastwood came close to us.

    There is no pure right and evil. EastWood always likes to use the topic of life and death to pretend to be deep, which makes people know at a glance. The lines in this film are also very awkward. There is neither ornamental nor artistic beauty, but deliberately pursuing the ethical and philosophical connotation under special circumstances. So although he took back the Little Golden Man, it was difficult to shock the film world.

Unforgiven quotes

  • Will Munny: Hey, Kid!

    Ned Logan: KID? Is that Kid shooting at us?

  • Little Bill Daggett: [to W. W. Beauchamp, referring to the passage in Beauchamp's book where English Bob claims to have killed "Two Gun" Corcoran because Corcoran insulted a lady's honor] Yeah, well, a lotta folks did call him "Two Gun," but that wasn't because he was sportin' two pistols. No, it was because he had a dick that was so big, it was longer than the barrel on that Walther Colt that he carried. And the only insultin' he ever did was to stick that thing of his into this French lady that English Bob here was kinda sweet on.
