Removed:

Unforgiven is commonly considered to be among the five best westerns ever produced.

This is one of those statements which is impossible to disprove, but also non-encyclopedic, because it involves a subjective judgment among an undefined group...who considers it to be so? Critics? Film school professors? Fans? Actors? Film actors? Actors in western films?

See also Films considered the worst ever for an example of how this can get out of control. Ellsworth 19:41, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)


You can quote me

Clint (on "Charlie Rose", I think) said, "If I didn't have to have stars, I'd have cast this whole damn thing out of Edmonton."

BTW, I consider Unforgiven among the five best Westerns ever produced, up there with "Silverado", "Josey Wales", & a couple I can't think of offhand... Pale Rider 07:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Revisionist?

The opening line calls this a revisionist film. This seems like a very strong statement, which is not backed up by any discussion in the article. I'm not saying it is or it isn't revisionist, but if it is in the topic sentence, it needs support. Since there is none, I'm removing it. -- Samuel Wantman 07:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Final sequence?

I've seen this movie (an indisputable classic) a few times recently on cable stations in Canada that do not have the final text about Munney's move to San Francisco and prosperity in dry goods; they just run the final image of him visiting his wife's grave followed by a fade-out. Does anyone know why I might be seeing this, why they would remove the final on-screen text, and is this version is seen elsewhere? I swear it looks to me like they cut it because it wouldn't fit properly in full-screen. Is it worth a mention in the main article? - dharmabum 08:38, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
