Imagine a man writing a script about how women's minds work. Then imagine the screeching and triggering that follows. "You don't own my experience!" etc.

Basically, you can only like Unforgiven if you're a female supremacist.

>>80034599
Respect.

At least until the point where Nick fucking Cave makes his appearance, and the illusion comes crashing down ...

>>80034310
The height? No but it is a natural and logical progression in the western genre, going from the big sky John Ford westerns, to the deconstructed Sergio Leone itallian westerns, and then to this.

Let me put it this way: Even if unforgiven weren't a good movie (and it is a good movie) it would still be the current last word in the 50+ year conversation that is western movie conventions.

That's not to say that someone else won't say something else to take that conversation in a new direction, but as of right now, Unforgiven still has the last word.
In case I'm not being clear, Unforgiven is, among other things, a movie about movies. There's metadiscourse going on here. It's a film that is very directly aware of genre conventions, what they mean, what they *could* mean, etc.

If you think the "height of the western genre" was a film made after 1970 you are a boner fried fucking plebeian. Holy fucking shit.

Hang yourself you cuckold faggot.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is western Kino. It has every single Western archetype in it.

>>80034310

It's definitely Eastwood's best directorial effort. His last few movies have been pretty shitty.

>>80037647
This is the best western and probably the best movie ever

Western died as genre in early to mid 70's. It has been down hill since then, with Eastwood being pretty lonely in keeping the corpse warm.

The proposition.
