Unforgiven
Watched for an English class, this may affect my review
With all the aspects of a stereotypical Western, this takes a better, more introspective route and takes a look into the glorification of the Old West and violence in media. Showing how character like Beauchamp wants to recount the violent pasts of various men but when met with the real thing he freaks out yet still wants more. This juxtaposes with Kid as when he is a part of violence he realizes the consequences and how gruesome it is.
This movie is also very attention grabbing as it has action as well as emotional moments that make the audience think about the media they consume. Additionally the setting is beautiful and uses the countryside well.
