Unforgiven

Somehow I can not sleep. Some scars remain. Decided to watch one movie with me but kept long pending to see.After watching this classic trying to pen some words in praise of this "mind blowing movie" I don't know if people who have watched it could relate it to extreme leftism gone a muck  or not.
