Reacting to HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (1973) | Movie Reaction

YOU DIDN'T SEE HIM DISAPPEAR AT THE VERY END ???????!!!!!!!!!???????? Best ghost western EVER !!!!

The eerie music is to create the idea that Clint is the vengeful spirit of the the Marshal that came back to punish the people who killed him as well as those who put them up to it.

"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."

I never imagined that a young Scottish woman would be one of the best YouTube reactors to classic western movies, but here we are.

The eerie music is the clue. He is the spirit of vengeance. He was there to punish everyone in town except the two who were innocent. So glad to hear you plan to watch a lot more Clint Eastwood! "Heartbreak Ridge" (1986) is a great Clint Eastwood war drama directed by Clint.

I have been to the town of Lagos. It is on the shores of Mono Lake, Eastern Sierras of California. All that is left of the town are a few piles of red painted, burned wood and some scattered broken “fake Hollywood glass”. Pretty cool.

Finally, someone watching my favorite Eastwood western. 😊 They don't say, but he IS dead. He came back for revenge on his killers and to punish all the town who made it happen and watched.

He was the ghost of Marshal Duncan. They did not recognize him because as a spirit he made sure they saw him as an alternative image. He was harsh on the villagers because they betrayed him. Some villagers like the Inn Keeper wife and Mortique wanted to help but redeemed themselves in the end.

The eerie music symbolized he was a ghost coming back for justice

Clint Eastwood was a vengeful ghost. That's why the music was so creepy. In the end he got everything he came for: Killed all his enemies, abused the hell out of everybody else, burnt the town to the ground, and got his grave properly marked. Somebody already suggested these, but the "Dirty Harry" and "Every Which Way But Loose" movies are great too! There's also "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" which he did with Jeff Bridges.

This is definitely one of the darker movies from clint. I really enjoy watching your reactions Dawn they always make me smile. xxx

This is my favorite Eastwood movie. First saw it back in late 80s when I was a kid and I've seen it countless times since.

Did you know young Clint starred and sang in a Western Musical? "Paint Your Wagon" with Lee Marvin.

I never thought I'd ever get to see anyone review this movie. This made my day.

The marshal died. Clint was his ghost. Oh, opening scene, careful what you approve too quickly! lol.

For an underrated Eastwood Western "Two mules for Sister Sarah". Featuring music by Ennio Morricone!🎉

You have to watch the opening and closing carefully (when the creepy music is playing). Though I will admit it was easier to see it on the giant theater screens (I saw this when it first came out), you still can see it on a TV size screen if you watch carefully. At the beginning, he shimmers in, in the distance, riding into town. And at the end, riding out of town, he shimmers out in the same spot. Some people say that's just an optical illusion made by the heat waves from the desert. But, having seen it on the big screen, I can say it's not. He actually fades away.

About Clint saying that what makes people scared is what they know about themselves ... look at all those timid townspeople, they know what wretches they are and what they've done. It's made them scared.

Of the two female leads – Marianna Hill had been Captain Kirks love interest in Star Trek “Dagger of the Mind” 1967 – Verna Bloom would later play the Deans wife in “Animal House” 1978.

Yes! This is mine and my father's favourite Eastwood film. It's going to be strange watching this as my father died only a few weeks back.
