  • My grandparents took me to the drive in to see Dirty Harry, when I was 10 years old. They told me to tell my mother we went to see some Disney movies.

  • I don't perceive Unforgiven as a straightforward anti-violence movie. Only a cautionary tale against cheap idealisation of violence, which is a much more interesting point. Will Munny just had to go violent on the lawmen at the end, but the movie stays away from giving the impression that killing a man by surprise while he's taking a crap is an act of grandeur to be recorded in history.

  • one best example of a violent film that gene hackman turned down was silence of the lamb...would have suited him

  • He didn't want to do anymore violent movies? Okay now that makes perfect sense! This totally explains to me why he did The Quick and the Dead three years later......Yep!

  • Real story. "i told him to read it again and gave him a piercing gaze.... then he came back and was like, ok yeah i'll do it."

  • @RichardElden Hackman douchebag

  • Eastwood forged his entire repute via silver screen gratuitous violence. You'd have to be irrevocably naive to swallow the "anti-violence' line. Hollywood churns out maybe one movie out of all each year that's actually any good, and Eastwood films aren't one. Pale Rider, as a a presented story, annihilates Unforgiven. and even the former is totally ridiculous. The real historical West was nothing like Hollywood depicts.

  • @EmpressElizabeth1920 LOL your grandparents were waaay cool hehehehe :D hehehe

  • such an interesting man....jazz pianist too. And when they were giving him a tribute one night, and all the major stars were there, he was addressing them as Mr. Grant (Cary), Mr. Fonda, etc... What a real guy...

  • @MOGGS1942 thanks, does it matter what mirror I look in?

  • @wheelmanstan Go see "Remains of the day",and if you still want to see a "dumb ass",go look in a mirror.

  • @kenfo0
