Western dramas have been all the rage lately, but there was a time when the genre was falling behind. That is, until Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven was released.

"Unforgiven" can be seen as both Clint Eastwood's magnum opus and a treatise on his mortality. A film about a retired Western outlaw taking on one last job, it's awfully reflective of Eastwood's career up to that point.
The man who starred in films like "Dirty Harry" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" for years, always the brave renegade, was getting older. Eastwood was 61 years old when he filmed the movie, clearly past his prime as a cowboy. The movie was one last try at being an outlaw, just as it was for the protagonist William Munny in the film. However, according to a piece written for the film's 30th anniversary, Eastwood almost never made the film at all.
