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.

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...

Well said
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.
