neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman is 94. Unforgiven is a brilliant movie for many reasons but it’s his portrayal of a fascistic sheriff that stays with me. Brave & well-meaning but also sadistic & power mad. He had turned down playing Lecter in Silence of the Lambs because of the violence but felt this critiqued it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching UNFORGIVEN for what might be the 50th time and I can’t think of a film that hits its theme so flawlessly in every single scene. Fear. Every scene addresses a character’s direct fear or their relationship to it. Dave Webb Peoples is a master.
positive · AI labelView post →Started watching Unforgiven last night for the first time in decades. That is one well made film.
positive · AI labelView post →Unforgiven is a brilliant movie but it’s Hackman’s portrayal of a fascistic sheriff that stays with me. Brave & well-meaning on the surface but also sadistic & tyrannical. He turned down directing & playing Lecter in Silence of the Lambs because of the violence but felt this critiqued it.

positive · AI labelView post →All day I've been trying to say "Hello Bob!" in a Gene Hackman voice from the best scene of Unforgiven. And the lines where he mispronounces the book title and talks about how having a moustache sucks. What a great movie. youtu.be/0vscLrMD_qY?...
positive · AI labelView post →Bradley Cooper was good in this movie, which he notably did not direct. Clint Eastwood directed this movie, and I think it is a good example of the kind of thematic concerns that define Eastwood’s output since at least Unforgiven.
neutral · AI labelView post →For RogerEbert.com, I wrote about the similarities between the endings of Taxi Driver and Unforgiven, and the scene in the original screenplay that Eastwood decided to cut, and that I believe would've lessened the movie had it stayed in. www.rogerebert.com/mzs/the-scen...
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching CRIMSON TIDE and UNFORGIVEN really makes me miss the days when a movie could make money just on "see this actor go up against this actor!" and movie stars had screen personas and iconicography they could take apart and twist and weaponize. Don't see The Rock or Ryan Renyolds doin' that.
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatch: Unforgiven (1992), an old favourite since it came out, when it was an early-ish venture to the movies to see a "serious" film with mates. Still one of the great films to simultaneously deconstruct genre and offer ample genre pleasure. Maybe the film has its cake and eats it, but who cares?

neutral · AI labelView post →Now I've completed The Return, Fiennes as Odysseus, Binoche as Penelope, the movie my ancient Greek-reading friend told me to see instead of Nolan's. I watched both. Pity the poor Damon. Pair The Return with Eastwood's brilliant, terrifying, soul-breaking Unforgiven.

neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman was an extraordinary actor & craftsman, as he liked to be called. French Connection, Royal Tenenbaums, Superman, Unforgiven, The Conversation, Crimson Tide, etc. In the heyday of his stardom, the media gave him guff for not being movie star “attractive”. They blind. #RIPGeneHackman

positive · AI labelView post →Unforgiven is a troubling film because everybody in it feels like a convincing person, but that provides no guarantee that what they think or do makes any sense at all. All killing is equally purposeful and equally pointless because who can ever really take another person's measure in the end?
neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman was truly one of the greatest actors of all time. Unforgiven is one of my favourite films and the fact he starred alongside the likes of Eastwood, Harris and Freeman and stole the film (and bagged his 2nd Oscar) says it all. RIP ❤️
positive · AI labelView post →I usually went with my sister & nieces when I was younger. The one drive-in had 2 screens, I remember turning my chair and watching the Unforgiven. I think it was a kids movie on the other one.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think my favorite Gene Hackman film is Unforgiven, but he was so good in so many, and such varied, roles. Crimson Tide, The Conversation / Enemy of the State, The French Connection, Hoosiers, The Birdcage, … One of his movies I haven’t seen highlighted is Get Shorty; he was fantastic in it. RIP.

unlabelledView post →"Vulgar and sublime, “Deadwood” embodied both the endless mythologizing of the American West and the often grotesque reality the myths obscure." No. It does not do that. That is not what the show is about. I think this blurb would be better if it were about DEADWOOD instead of UNFORGIVEN (a movie)

Not for footprint. e.g. which film do ppl teach or reference/quote more, make costumes of, make fancams/edits of, include in GOAT lists more, mention as actors’ best roles: Malcolm X or Unforgiven? The Color Purple or Out of Africa?
