cool flick i just don't know why the secondary thesis of this is that women like and need to be sexually assaulted by vengeful spirit men. why is that part of the movie. but the vibes are horrendous thanks clint ❤️

The fact that Clint Eastwood wrote his own character to be cool is so sad

definitely the most grimmest western i’ve seen. clint eastwood pulls off possibly the darkest protaganist i’ve watched. this film stripped to its bare is just pure evil and malice which was really interesting to watch.
