Roger Ebert: The fact that "Unforgiven" is in my top ten, Gene, requires, I guess, some explanation. I gave it thumbs up on our show, but I didn't react to it as "Best film of the year" material, maybe because I was somewhat distracted by viewing it on the eve of my approaching matrimony. My attention was elsewhere. Last week, I looked at the movie again with a somewhat better focus, and I realized fully what a good movie it is, how well-directed and acted, and especially how well-written, by David Webb Peoples, who has some dialogue here that deserves comparison with Hemmingway.
Gene Siskel: Here, you called the film shapeless and too full of characters, and I think that that's what I felt, too, the first time I saw it.
Roger Ebert: Mm-hmm.
Gene Siskel: I know what Eastwood is trying to do, a revisionist western, where the bad guy is bad, frankly, and these are guys doing grungy work. But at the same time, I thought the film was overstuffed.
Roger Ebert: Well...
Gene Siskel: And I can't lionize this picture, I looked at it a second time...
Roger Ebert: I don't think so.
Gene Siskel: ...And I didn't have a reaction.
Roger Ebert: I don't think so. Now that I've seen it again, I do NOT think that it's shapeless. Maybe I thought it was shapeless because I wasn't paying attention to it. I have to confess this, right? In front of you and everybody else. I think this movie is superbly well written, and I think maybe my mind was drifting, to tell you the truth.
Gene Siskel: I think I liked you better five months ago. I liked your mind better five months ago.
