Unforgiven1992

Simultaneously heroic and nihilistic, reeking of myth but modern as they come, it is a Western for those who know and chrish the form, a film that resonates with the spirit of films past while staking out a territory quite its own. [7 Aug 1992]

类型意义自然可记一笔，东木这么早就演壮士暮年属意外。片里诸多角色处理的丝毫不乱，衬哈克曼凶恶的英国杀手也背负英美民族性和华族血泪史、踉跄成行的刺杀队也包含杀戮自省和初哥豪气（台词好不然就俗套了）、买凶妓女也有分江湖道义。传记作者见东木泄愤时兴奋一笑的细节抓得好。先生存再复仇有提升

This dark, melancholic film is a reminder -- never more necessary than now -- of what the American cinema is capable of, in the way of expressing a mature, morally complex and challenging view of the world. [7 Aug 1992]
