John Wayne died in 1979 The Unforgiven was made in 1992.

Another Western myth methinks!!!

Super article Nadir! A wonderful tribute to a wonderful film. Saw it as a teenager , in Kolkata at the American Library and it made a huge impression on me. I love "The Good.." to bits but this film is something special.

Reminds me of Kurosawa in its treatment of theme.

Thank you for this article.

Thanks for the wonderful Blogs….a different take then usually hear from Pak papers.

C E (as he is called among the friends) is a true legend, brought many stories to the life, including Unforgiven.
Most of his dialogues are master piece (written by him), still to date, many writers try to follow the foot steps, but no match.

I think after John Wayne (in his own style), Mr. Eastwood took the center stage with his tribute to Western Movies.
Including some of the block busters, where subjects were far away from Barren Land, Horses, and Guns.

NO MATCH TO HIM.
BRAVO…..

Had to comment about this post coz its one of my all time favourite movies. Eastwood, Freeman, Hackman, Harris all played their roles brilliantly.

Just saw this movie yesterday while flying from Multan to Karachi..kept me engrossed for the entire flight. Beautiful direction. Everyone acted great.

The last fight seemed kind of overboard, but then, the main purpose was to put it in context to what Little Bill had explained to Beauschamp,

"Being a good shot or being quick with a pistol, that don't do no harm, but it don't mean much next to being cool headed! A man who'll keep his head, not get rattled under fire, black as night will kill ya!!."

"But if the other guy's quicker and fires first, then he'll…"

"Then he'll be hurrying and he'll miss!"

Munny kept his cool and came out on top despite being outnumbered 6 to 1.

One of the most interesting Western ever made with the great ensemble of talented actors, great direction depicting a side of American culture that helps us understand their heritage and ancestry which is so different from the northeast.

While I was researching the film I found out that Bob’s biography named “Duke of Death” (which Little Bill keeps pronouncing “Duck of Death”) is actually a reference to John Wayne.
