I went and got "The Unforgiven" upon Ayoobs suggestion. Damn that's a good movie. The killer had been reformed by his beloved wife and wouldn't touch the demon whiskey. She, unfortunately, died from smallpox. Now he needs money so he's going off to kill some miscreant cowboys who scarred a whore for making fun of a small pecker. Gene Hackman plays this sadistic sheriff. Ayoob is right folks, this is a must see!

Yeah! That's so cool!

After watching it about twenty times, I realized a couple of the things that really make it special. For one thing, the casting is awesome. There is not a good-looking person in the entire show. From one end to the other, you've got a skinny dude with a huge bent nose to a squidgy semi-shapeless whore to an old weatherbeaten cowardly assassin. What characters! Gene Hackman's the best looking actor in the whole thing, and that's really saying something.

The other thing is how every time something goes wrong in that story it's just somebody one-upping the last whipping the last guy put out there. From a giggle at a small penis to Clint just pouring God's hot wrath on half the fucking town, at any point it could have stepped down if anybody in the whole chain would have just accepted an apology and moved on. Never happened once, though. Everybody had to step it up and get revenge.

I think it won four or five academy awards, too. I know as part of the real-world backstory on that movie that Clint bought the rights to the story something like 25 years before he made it, and waited until he was old enough to play the part right. He loved that story. It's probably the best thing he ever touched.

He was quite emphatic it had to depict the Old West in a realistic light. Its tough and gritty but closer than anything hollywood ever did. 4 stars here.
