First time I watched that film I thought it was really slow until about halfway through it and Clint Eastwood just seems to switch on and ****ing unreal performance and get his game face on. Brilliant movie.

Totally. It's how it slowly builds up, the opening scenes on his pig farm where you can almost feel and hear the wind blowing around the cabin, him falling over in the mud trying to separate a sick pig from the rest, struggling to ride his horse to the change at the end and the shoot out with Little Bill's group. Without the slow start the second part wouldn't have been as powerful. But the slowness of the first half is so beautiful filmed, the rapport between Morgan Freeman and Eastwood shows the deep friendship they had which makes his revenge over Ned's death so understandable.

It's genuinely one of my favourite movies, one of the few I've ever seen where you can barely find a flaw in it. And the casting is perfect. Brilliant movie.

Two of my absolute favourites there. But I'm going to add this from "Unforgiven" :-
"I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, little Bill, for what you done to Ned."

This from "The Godfather":-
"Barzini's dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia, Moe Greene, Stracci, Cuneo. Today, I settle all family business, so don't tell me you're innocent, Carlo. Admit what you did."

From "The Shawshank Redemption":-
"Get busy living or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. For the second time in my life, I'm guilty of committing a crime. Parole violation. Course, I doubt they're going to throw up any road blocks for that. Not for an old crook like me. I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."

Yeah, he almost makes himself look a bad actor to make the second half brilliant. But looking back at it, it's all brilliant how he plays the part. Or 2 parts tbh.

“I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can’t be expressed in words and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away. And for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.”
