1 ‘no forgiveness’
With ‘Unforgiven’, Clint Eastwood picked up the glove John Ford left in the air decades ago with the rousing ‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’ and he resumed the path of the twilight western forged by the hero’s lonelinessthe pessimism in the midst of bullets, the silences in black and white, the moral debate before each shot and the ubiquitous demons.
Clint equaled his teacher, Sergio Leone, precisely by avoiding the most representative keys of the films they had made together and which had taken the genre to another place, neither better nor worse, different. That is to say, his pupil has returned to the western that psychological depth, that forgotten classicism in favor of visual ecstasy and excessive epic. This masterpiece that exudes grandeur in each of its frames, is considered by the vast majority to be Eastwood’s best work to date. One of the best westerns in the history of cinemaa work full of unforgettable characters who are already part of some of the essential moments of the seventh art.
