It's classic _ forgiveness, repentance, alcoholism, death of a wife,
return of the man who wants to right
things
confronation
with the real cowards and bullies
and its comique as well
the writer speakin to the gunman
"You must have been lucky...
"Ive always been lucky when it s comes
to killing folks ..."
the motif gunslinger
echoes of Ulysses return
to Ithaca as well
knocking the suitors and false
suitors of his Penelope
the true
is hardly afraid
of rivals....
mere cards in the playing deck....
Its poetry no matter
and its very like an American version
of a story
called Zobra the Greek
the writer
and
man of Action
in Unforgiven
in these last moments
that distinction is vivid
as we watch the hero
takes leave of the town
the writer/journalist comes out putting on his glasses...
its classic
the wounded man who had been in exile
returns becoming the gun man he once was....
it's fantastic film... truly one of the great one...s
Last line of the film __ Classic at the level the old Elizabethan revenge tragedies of Webster, Dekker, and W.S.
Listen to his spurs as he gets ready t o leave the saloon...
the rain the horse... blurred in the rain
his face ... he rides off.... shadow
in the darknesss
rain...
thunder.....
You better not cut up any more of those whores or
I'm be back to kill everyone of you sons of bitchs
