Last Unit we watched 2 Westerns, Stagecoach and Unforgiven. Not seeing very many Wetserns I was kind of excited to learn about them.
The first one we watched, Stagecoach, didn't have high standards in my mind; mostly because of it being black and white. After watching it I was shocked that it was that good. I didn't think that it would be that in dept and such. The acting was good and it had a good story line (depth). It was definitely a Classical Western.
The second film we watched, Unforgiven, had high standards in my head because of it winning alot of Acadamy Awards. After watching I was kind of let down because I thought it was going to be different. The story and acting was well done but something just didn't get me to like it as much as I thought I would. I am not quite sure what it is; it could be the Revisionest factor or something else.
Thus far my favorite film we have seen, in Art of Film, has been Stagecoach.

I though Unforgiven was a lot better the Stagecoach. Stagecoach was in black and white and I just hate black and white films. Stagecoach was also so boring. It felt like it kept going and going.
while i did like stagecoach i definitely liked unforgiven more. in unforgiven heros were definitely the main point, the difference between right and wrong, the wondering of who is the true hero, the difficulty in killing another man. this type of suspense is what i like in films.
God the Movieman is so freaking biased sometimes. but I have to respect him nonetheless. I agree that with willy wonka that Unforgiven was better than Stagecoach because it had more depth to it, whereas Stagecoach was extremely simple, which isn't necessarily bad, but depth can add alot to a movie, and it did so in unforgiven.
Black and white films don't anger me in any way. I mean, I would obviously rather watch a film in color, but I don't get frusterated in any way watching black and white films...
