Thanks for reminding me -- I didn't like The Unforgiven either. My impression from that one was, "everybody's a dirt-bag."That was kinda the point of Unforgiven, though. the characters weren't black and white. They were all shades of gray, unlike in most westerns. Clint held on to that script for about 20 years so that he could make it how he wanted.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Doesn't matter . . . I still don't like it.

I'm sure Clint would say: "Go ahead. Make my (birth)day".

BTW, an anagram for Clint Eastwood is "old west action". I wonder if he knows this? :confused:
