So, in what ways is this film derivative, and what is it derivative of?

I don't see that it is like any film I have seen in any way.

I remember when Eastwood's "Unforgiven" came out.  Everyone was raving about it, critics loved it, garnered a bunch of awards, and being that I love a good western, I was so looking forward to it

I hated it.  I hope No Country... doesn't pull the same mean trick

Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill


Those movies are to No Country For Old Men as roller-coasters are to limousines.

Really?

I love Westerns as well. I really liked Unforgiven. Anything in particular you disliked about it?

I particularly liked the spaghetti westerns as well as some of the classics like Shane, High Noon, and a few of the old shows: The Rifleman comes to mind. Tombstone was really good and though I don't much care for Costner, Open Range was really good, I thought.

What I found really awful were the Young Guns movies. Almost unwatchable.

   Fill my ears with silver
   Stick my legs in plaster
   Tell me lies about Vietnam.

I rate Unforgiven in my top ten of all time.

I don't recall the specifics, (it was a while ago) but as best as I recall, it seemed angry all the time, glorifying the bad guy, and how good it is to be mean.  and I'm a huge Morgan Freeman fan.  I'm a classic Western enthusiast, LOVED "Silverado", and really enjoyed "The Missing" as well as "Tombstone", but I hated Unforgiven, that's all I can say

Oh, I can concur with that as well

I liked Unforgiven too.

Will Munny: All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.

Young Guns was a hoot.

Buddy movie on horseback instead of motorcycles.

Blazing Saddles?

A classic in my book.

I really liked The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Great soundtrack, and more accurate than any Jesse James film to date.

Wel, if we're talking Westerns, Tombstone is the all time greatest.

The Costner version isn't bad. You should see it.
