    Bill Munny is fascinating to me. His most admirable trait may be his own self-loathing. Most of his character development occurs offscreen, before the film's beginning, and other characters sort of steal the show. If not for the star power of Eastwood, and our awareness of his directing, the understated Munny might have meant less on a human level. Still, this is a truly deep character from a great script.
    thank you. i was beginning to think the entire world had gone insane. this is a fantastic movie and his character is wonderful. the shifts he makes from beginning to end, the journey you know his character went through but you never got to see, then the journey you see him make back to killer - his worst fear realized. and he comes back from it. that's a fucking character.






    . . . but i'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

    I think you're mistaken my friend. I don't think he was indifferent to his decline at all. I think he embraced it and was rushing toward it with glee.

    Somebody else needs to vote for Bill Munny. I didn't think he would make it out of the first round but it would be worse for him to come so close and not make it.

    "It's me, Geoffrey. I'm all you've got."
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.
    And together we'll cross the river.

    You're right. Sorry to have put it off, after what I said, but, seriously, if anybody here has never seen Casablanca, you really should.

    I know that the world has gone insane. My only question is whether there's still any chance for us to recover.
