Has anybody seen The Bucket List?

Post by Crazy Like a Fox » Tue Jan 15, 2008 6:26 am

I want to go see a movie but I'm not sure which.

Too good of actors with too much self imposed standards to put out a bad movie.



Speaking of good movies...



I just tonight finished RE-watching the first episode of the first season of "Deadwood"...



DAMN it's good!

Well...just finished watching Morgan Freeman in "Unforgiven"



What a great movie.



The first time I watched it...I got caught up in the BS...and thought Gene Hackman's character was a bad man.



This time...I realised the movie title.



It was all that older bitchy whores fault for never forgiving those two cowboys (one that cut up the girl and his friend)...that lead to all the death and the title.



Hackman's character was pretty fair...and had Freeman's character not died from torture...he would have lived.



But then there wouldn't have been such a great movie.



9 out of 10.

~Lance Hmmm....it couldn't have been that Clint Eastwood's (i.e. the lead character) had, though he had tried very hard to change to please his wife, never really changed inside from the hard drinking killer he had always been and felt he hadn't done all that much wrong anyway and therefore was really "unforgiven" for his past actions and the actions he took during the movie?

I thought that too...the first time.



But maybe drunk I saw the true meaning of the title.



Those two cowboys...the one who cut the girls face...and his friend were pretty much forgiven by everyone...even the the cut faced girl...after returning with fair payment (in those days) of the horses to the establishments owner for damaging "his property". The innocent cowboy even offered another (the best) horse to give directly to the girl and that act of kindness made it look like even SHE forgave them at that moment.



...but the older whor.e wouldn't let it go. She wouldn't forgive. SHE was the one who's idea it was to put a bounty on both cowboys heads.



...and thus "Unforgiven" was set into motion. (IMO)

Good perspective, Lance. First one of us who runs into Eastwood in Carmel asks, OK? :D
