Question about Skinny in the opening scene - -


Okay, so I recently re-watched this and something stuck out to me: when we first see Skinny put his revolver to Quick Mike's head after he slashes Delilah, the lighting and camera angle makes him look a lot like a younger Clint Eastwood and his voice strongly resembles Clint's as well when he tells him to get off of her and put the knife down. Seeing as how this film really is a complete deconstruction of the old west and the swashbuckling nature of the western genre, I can honestly picture this moment of Skinny resembling Clint being something that was totally intentional from a storyteller's point of view.

Thoughts?

I think you're reaching man. I've seen Unforgiven a dozen times and never thought that Skinny resembles Will Munny.

I did not see that at all but I was sure happy to watch Skinny get blown away.
