Watching the movie unforgiven.

[RandomThoughts]

There is something about it.

If you see the movie with English Bob, and Clint Eastwood's character as the same person it make much more sense.

Then it has English Bob going into town, getting ambushed by the Hackman's group, kicked around, then smeared when held in a prison, then is sent out of town. Then Eastwood comes in and finishes the story.

It then better fits The Magnificent Seven story.

and the line 'because nobody takes my guns' then matches that story also.


Or beer and travel money, for some people.



And without correlation, but becuase I like Peter Gabriel songs, and the shock the monkey is not the best of his music.

A great song by Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fF8wU4Nl9Y

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."

To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery

I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."


When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see <- (the same meaning of learning to fly.)
No one taught them etiquette <- "unladen empty, I turn to stone" Learning from spirits when without a teacher.

I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."

Found the correlation in that song I was thinking of.

Its about this, where you keep the just and compassionate thoughts in your mind, even in hard times.

"to keep in silence I resigned, my friends will think I was a nut"
"Liberty pirouettes when I think I am free"

Liberty pirouettes a couple post later.

Also about bridges and flying also.
Note the white thought line, above the valley is a form of flying or bridge thought. Above the roof of the night.

Robert Eastwood.

1. Wow.

I just thought it was a pretty good movie with character studies about evil vs. not so bad. Eastwood and Freeman as aging bounty hunters or whatever and some naive kid vs. the assholes who would cut up a woman. Money being the driving factor.
I guess I am not as much of a film critic as you. I enjoyed the movie but imo, it wasn't Eastwood's best.
SOLIDARITY!

2. It's probably my favorite western for many different reasons. n/t

3. You better bury Ned right!

Better not cut up, nor otherwise harm no whores or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of bitches.

Little Bill: You just shot an unarmed man.
Bill Munny: He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.

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.

Sheer unadulterated Eastwood awesomeness.
