DVD Review: unforgiven
Summary: 1 Stars
DVD has no format to select scenes,etc. Also it was captioned with no way to remove the captions.
DVD also ran for approximately 12-15 mins and could no longer be played.
My fault that the time ran out to return the item.
DVD Review: So Gritty And Real, Yet Still. . .
Summary: 3 Stars
Wow. Does this epic, award-winning Western look and feel like the real deal. It's gritty, rugged, brutal, dirty, inhumane--yet tender and poignant when it needs to be. You can't beat Clint Eastwood as both actor and director; fellow cinematic heavyweights Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, and Richard Harris give UNFORGIVEN plenty of star power. And the story--a former bounty hunter coming out of retirement to avenge the disfigurement of a working girl--is as compelling as the day is long. So what is it about UNFORGIVEN that so disappointed me, and continues to disappoint each time I pull up a chair to watch this very well-made film?
Dichotomy. It's a trait we all possess, to some degree. It's certainly present with Hackman's character as Sheriff Little Bill Daggett--a dedicated public servant on the one hand and brutal thug and bully on the other. That's a character contrast that's believable; we can see, and understand, both sides of the coin Little Bill represents. But Eastwood's character presents a whole new set of problems (for me, anyway). Bill Munny is a quiet, soft-spoken, gentle widower with two young children. From his mannerisms it becomes evident he wouldn't harm a fly; he reluctantly agrees to accept the bounty because he's so desperately poor, but approaches the job with dread and despair. As this film moves to its violent climax the viewer is treated to such a transformation of Bill Munny that I was unable to suspend disbelief. The wild-eyed, almost evil incarnate killer Munny became was simply too much--even after he was so savagely provoked. Thus I was aptly disappointed in UNFORGIVEN, a great visual epic with too much to digest.

DVD Review: A bleak look at a bleak world
Summary: 5 Stars
This is what Eastwood is good at. Heavy emotional dramas that portray the world in a far less stylized view than other films. Given all of Eastwood's experience with Westerns, it's only natural that one of his first big hits as a director presents a more realistic view of the Old West. Definitely not a film you will want to miss if you love Westerns or Clint Eastwood. Just don't expect to feel particularly cheery afterwards.DVD Review: Excellent movie, excellent price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Upgraded from dvd to blu. Beautiful picture and sound. Love this movie and now its even better.DVD Review: One of the best Westerns
Summary: 5 Stars
When you get Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris, and Morgan Freeman in one film you know you are in for a treat. This movie does not disappoint. Each of the actors does a superb job in each of his characters giving each incredible depth. Even Richard Harris' character is important even though he is only in a few scenes. Each of the characters both have their good traits and their evil ones. Eastwood and Freeman play reformed gunfighters turned farmers out to get one more bounty. The internal turmoil and conflict of going back to their old ways is played well by both. How violence has worn on each plays a central roll in the film. Hackman's character is the extreme law and order man who wants to control everything that goes on his town and will go to very violent means to make sure that he does.
Although this film is extremely violent in places, unlike a lot of other films it does an excellent job of showing the results of that violence on the perpetrators of that violence. They don't just walk away at ease with themselves.
The features on the blu-ray are pretty good but very dated. There is the behind the scenes feature, the interviews with the major actors, the voice over commentary, as well as a retrospective of Clint Eastwood's career up to that point. And that's the main drawback to the extras, they weren't updated for the blu-ray so they are about 15 years old. Not that big of deal for me, but something that someone might want to know.
Description of Unforgiven [Blu-ray]
Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman play retired, down-on-their-luck outlaws who pick up their guns one last time to collect a bounty offered by the vengeful prostitutes of the remote Wyoming town of Big Whiskey. Richard Harris is an ill-fated interloper, a colorful killer-for-hire called English Bob. And Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner Gene Hackman is the sly and brutal local sheriff whose brand of law enforcement ranges from unconventional to ruthless.Winner of four Academy Awards, including best picture, director, supporting actor, and best editing, Clint Eastwood's 1992 masterpiece stands as one of the greatest and most thematically compelling Westerns ever made. "The movie summarized everything I feel about the Western," said Eastwood at the time of the film's release. "The moral is the concern with gunplay." To illustrate that theme, Eastwood stars as a retired, once-ruthless killer-turned-gentle-widower and hog farmer. He accepts one last bounty-hunter mission--to find the men who brutalized a prostitute--to help support his two motherless children. Joined by his former partner (Morgan Freeman) and a cocky greenhorn (Jaimz Woolvett), he takes on a corrupt sheriff (Oscar winner Gene Hackman) in a showdown that makes the viewer feel the full impact of violence and its corruption of the soul. Dedicated to Eastwood's mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel and featuring a colorful role for Richard Harris, it's arguably Eastwood's crowning directorial achievement. --Jeff Shannon
