In the wild west there is not a whole lot to do. You work, mostly work, you eat, sleep, and once and a while you get together to go to the nearest town and have some fun. In town you mingle, eat, and sometimes make trip to the nearest brothel. Two outlaws decide that the brothel would be there choice of fun that night. Well, fun for them at least. One of the prostitutes was disfigured by one of the men that night. Although the men were caught, the sheriff thought that the best punishment for the outlaws were for them to pay the brothel owner for six horses rather than going to jail. The rest of the prostitutes were outraged by this and decided that they were going to offer a $1000 reward to anyone who can find and kill the outlaws. Word of this gets to the ex-bounty hunter Munny, now a widower with two kids and a failing farm, he decided to ride and find the men and maybe find a way to start over again.
Unforgiven was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won four of them. The Warner Brothers' hit took home the prize over: Palace Pictures The Crying Game; Columbia's A Few Good Men; Sony Pictures Howards End; and Universal's Scent of Woman. In 2004 Unforgiven was selected for Preservation by the National Film Registry.
I have mixed feelings about this movie. I thought that it was good overall but I wasn't that interested in it. I would watch and then get bored then get caught back up in it again. I found some things that are great and the acting is good, I mean you can't go wrong with Morgan Freeman, but I couldn't quite find a groove with this movie to connect with it really.
