Well we were told we can post about any film, so one film I saw was Deathly Hallows, Part One this weekend. I already posted on Reuben's blog something I noticed while watching the film, but i'll reiterate it here. There was a scene in particular that stuck out in my mind. As the sidekick (Ron Weasley) and the hero (Harry Potter) walked inside a house, Ron asked Harry what they are going to do or something along those lines. He never gets an answer and they walk into the darkness of the house. It becomes clear later that Harry never really did know what to do and I found it really cool because before this class, I would have never noticed this.
As for Unforgiven, I spent a good hour on imdb.com just reading up on Clint Eastwood. It was out of pure entertainment because he really is an interesting person. He's against violence and never saw himself as a cowboy and yet, here he is, a cowboy and an assassin. He got his job in one of his starting roles on his way to fame because he just looked like a cowboy. He is a fascinating person and so is his character, Will Munny. Will is another one of those characters that is not all black and white, but somewhere mixed in the grey. He's not all good, but he's not all bad. I find those to be the best characters and the easiest to relate because who in the world is just ALL good? There's a little bad in us all.
As for the name, I noticed a lot of people posting on that. It's clear in the end that there is a very unforgiving nature in Will. He could have walked away after kicking the gun to the side from Little Bill's hand. He would have gone away unscathed. But Little Bill killed his friend, and for that, he has to die. I like that he didn't just walk away though. That would have been against his character to leave him there.
