Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The Big Picture Western films are among the most critical genres in cinematic history, and have been popular since the silent era of filmmaking. While science fiction and fantasy films offer escapist fantasies that are drawn from fictional settings, Westerns are able to create propulsive entertainment out of a real chapter of American history.
Unforgiven R Retired Old West gunslinger William Munny reluctantly takes on one last job with the help of his old partner Ned Logan and a young man, The "Schofield Kid." The trio of films is often cited among the greatest Western films ever made due to Leone’s careful construction of action sequences and the iconic score by Ennio Morricone. However, Eastwood succeeded in playing a very different type of hero in “The Man With No Name” trilogy. Unlike the heroic sheriffs and gunslingers in classic Westerns, Eastwood’s character was a bounty hunter who was willing to profit from the application of his lethal skills.
'Unforgiven' Challenged Perceptions of Clint Eastwood Unforgiven took Eastwood over two decades to make, but ultimately, the delays only made the film more authentic, as Eastwood wanted to look older to more accurately portray his grizzled protagonist. Unforgiven is a revisionist Western that explores the life of a ruthless Western outlaw. Eastwood stars as the former outlaw Will Munny, who has refrained from a life of violence in order to raise two children on a farm away from society.
