Movies Gene Hackman acting performance in Unforgiven

[Takes Two To Tango]

First off RIP to one of the greats, mad respects to him and his career and also how he handle himself outside the movie business.

He seemed like a very honorable respectful man.

I just noticed from previous threads he was looked as the better actor in comparison to two of these other greats De Niro and Brando.

As you can see here. So he was highly respected by people on here.

Both were in the Superman movie with Christopher Reeve. But never had a scene together I believe.

Who's the superior actor of the two in your opinion?

Gene Hackman:

The French Connection
Superman
Hoosiers
Mississippi Burning
Unforgiven
The Firm
Crimson Tide
The Birdcage
The Royal Tenenbaums

Marlon Brando:

A Streetcar Named Desire
The Wild One
On the Waterfront
Guys and Dolls
Mutiny on the Bounty
The Godfather
The Missouri Breaks
Superman
Apocalypse Now

As for his performance in Unforgiven. It was a masterclass indeed and so deserving for an Oscar.

I really like his performance in The French Connection II of all movies. He has some really great moments in that film

Yeah was great in that to.

Unforgiven is arguably Eastwood's best performance. And Hackman not only matched him but actually managed to steal some of the scenes.

The Oscar was well deserved.

Uhhhh what the shit

This really sucks to hear

 

[Pittie Petey]

His Duck Of Death scenes were really good

"I even thought I was dead, til I found out that I was just in Nebraska"

Not having The Conversation on that list is blasphemous.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Little Bill's philosophy on gunfighting - accuracy is more important than speed - is based on what Wyatt Earp said in real life.

Hackman was great at playing a detestable villain. He elevated that movie. A no name villain and it's still a decent movie but with Hackman it's an all time great.

 

[Spam On Rye]

He plays a great son of a bitch. One of my favorites right behind Burl Ives in The Big Country.

Shit, I've never seen Unforgiven, I think, I don't remember it at all anyways.

Trailer looks fucking guuuuuuuuuuuuuuud!

Bruh.


BRUH.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Definitely a superb role. 10 for sure. He always knew how to play a solid villiain. Even in Superman, he was magnificent and will always stand out as the greatest Lex Luthor ever.

Certainly in the western genre, I've never really watched much of that genre.

I liked it so much I owned it on laserdisc. I just rewatched it recently and it still holds up in my opinion

I said the same thing, now it's my favourite.

I said the same thing, now it's my favourite.

Definitely gonna watch Unforgiven.

Did a quick look around and found this movie too which looks like a gem
