Custom image of Clint Eastwood as William Munny in Unforgiven
The Big Picture "Go ahead, make my day," or "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" are probably the two most famous quotes a Clint Eastwood character has ever said, at least that's according to the American Film Institute's top 100 quotes list. Those are likely the two any random person might think of as well, but Eastwood is a man of many iconic lines on screen.
Unforgiven RWestern Retired Old West gunslinger William Munny reluctantly takes on one last job with the help of his old partner Ned Logan and a young man, The "Schofield Kid." Unforgiven sets out to deconstruct the mythology built around the Old West. There are no heroes riding off into the sunset, the setting is often gray or muddy, and the violence is prolonged and unflattering. Much of the dialogue is characters relitigating their legacies with some attempting to build them up and some trying to tear them down, regardless it suggests a lot of dark truth is lost when you simply print the legend.
It is a blunt line, but nonetheless poetic. In these two sentences, Eastwood looks back at a long career of being the hero with the quickest draw or best shot and grounds it down to reality. It is a line that so simply puts what the act of killing does, even if done for a seeming noble reason, even if done to people who've done wrong. It frames killing not just as something done to a person, but reflects how that can affect the perpetrator. With this line, killing becomes theft.
