Clint Eastwood Blog #2 In Webdings
for my clint eastwood movie i chose to watch unforgiven because mr. klob has a poster of it in his classroom, and because they were out of flags of our fathers and letters from iwo jima at blockbuster. in order to efficiently express my feelings and emotions for this movie i will give you a short summary of the plot...at the begining of the movie there is a opening scene of a farm house, a tree and a man digging a grave for his wife who, had passed away, all the way back in 1878 (i think). as the man is diggin in the backround words start to appear on the side of the screen, like a star wars opening "once upon a time," and it explanes that william Munny (aka Clint Eastwood), a former killing machine and the meanest dude alive, had retired from his evil ways thanks to his wife who changed him and made him stop drinking and killing. later in the movie in a small town somewhere out in... somewhere there are two hard working boys who, for reasons i wont get into, get in a fight with a severly "cut up a whore." so then the sheriff and his deputys come out to the cat house to see whats up and they decide that since they look like hard working boys all they have to do is give up a few horses and they would be on their merry way. but the other whores didnt like this so they pile their money together to put a $1000 reward on the heads of whomever "cut up that whore." So back at the munny ranch a young kid rides in on his horse hopeing to recruit will to go out and kill the guys who "C.U.T.W."(the kid had heard of the legend of mr. munny and wanted him to join up with him). at first will said no, but then shortly after decided that he could use the $ so he went and got his former partner Ned Logan (aka Morgan Freeman) to ride out and meet up with the kid to go kill the guys who "cut up that whore" because the sheriff in that town was retarded and didnt do it himself which basicly created the journy and the whole movie itself. obviously he could have been prevented what was about to come but like i said before, he is retarded. So ned, will and the kid meet up, kill one guy and feel sad that they went back to their evil was, ned leaves, gets cought by the sheriff and gets beet to death, "accidentally." so will and the kid, not knowing the sheriff killed ned, go out and get the second guy. later the whore who got slashed up gave them the $ told them about ned and then will takes his first sip of whisky since he had put down his guns when he met his wife.(this indicates the super awesomeness of what is about to come). the kid leaves and will shows up in town at the cat house where the sheriff, his dep.'s and other townfolk are gathering to go south and kill will and the kid also. now come the cool part where will shoots up the whole town...more cool gun stuff...bang bang...everyone is dead!i dont intend to spoil the movie for you, thats why i really gave a "brieff summary," but i may have saved you a hour or so of "not as exciting stuff" as is seen in the last part of the movie, which you now have to watch.all in all it was a pretty good movie. Best picture award in 1992! along with a bunch of other awards n' such. great directing, cool action, camera panning, and other fancy film characteristics and stuff related to AOFII................So Go Watch It!

i thought the movie was well done but i think it could have had a little more backbone to it, too typical of a western movie, but it is clint eastwood.....now there is a man with some character!
sounds like you watched it josh! haha, I kid, I kid all in good fun.
Clint Eastwood's masterpiece it isnt, but a movie that is meant to be as true to the west as this movie was meant to be, it has its gaps in logic (set design, technology and according to the interwebs clothing as well) but really I guess I cant nit pick, at least the damn thing is in color so it didnt pain me to watch it. Eastwood apparently didnt realize that the whole reward dead or alive thing though common in the west, ISN'T something that should be in so many movies, or at least to vital to the plot. its weird not having a full protagonist in a movie though.
parting words - daggett? I think thats his name, builds a CRAP house.
yup.
