Go See No Country For Old Men (Right Now!)

[Xavier_Onassis]

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.

Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill

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.

[Brassmask]

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

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

Oh, I can concur with that as well

[Rich]

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.

[kimba1]

blazing saddles ,young frankenstien
mel in his prime

history of the world was pretty good

"it`s good to be the king"

anybody remember the 2 thousand year old man?

[Xavier_Onassis]

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.

[Rich]

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

I'll be your huckleberry ...

[kimba1]

you got that right
rich

because of tombstone I never even bother seeing the costner version.
I don`t think i was cheated from skipping that one.

[Rich]

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