| | Guy Movie of the Week, 9/27/99: Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven |
 | | Any movie featuring as many shotgun deaths as Unforgiven was almost a lock to win, and win it did, taking home the Best Picture honors in 1992, as well as awards for director Clint Eastwood and supporting actor Gene Hackman. |
 | | Well bear with me here--true enough, the theme of Unforgiven is that violence is, like, bad, but that doesn't mean the movie doesn't serve up plenty for entertainment purposes. |
 | | Unforgiven does say violence isn't all glamour and glory, and that death is forever, but what the hell--Hackman and Eastwood beat the hell out of each other, a few dudes get shotgunned to death, and it has the Academy stamp of approval so you don't have to feel guilty about it. |
