Movie review:The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)

In general i love western movie and Clint Eastwood, perhaps the all time best actor for western films. He was a hot-cake for western film directors during the golden times of western films . Recently i watched one of his great movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales". Actually this movie was directed by Eastwood himself. Here i am try to write a small review about that film.

Josey Wales , is a simple Missouri farmer who lives with his wife and son. One day while he was farming in his land ,a group of outlaw (pro-union militants)burnt his house and took away his wife(who was murdered later). His son was killed by fire during this incident.
Driven by the revenge of his wife and son , he joined with another group of outlaws(pro-confederate militants) during the civil war. After the war Govt. declared those who surrender would be granted amnesty. So everyone except Josey(who intended to revenge his family) surrender in sake of going back to normal life. Actually this was trap, as everyone who surrender were killed by law force in order to clean the country from outlaws. After that incident Josey was one of the most wanted outlaw. Govt. declared a price tag for Josey's head and it was $5000. So not only the law enforcement were after him , but also ruthless bounty hunter were after him. In the mean time the leader of the outlaw who killed his family became a member of law enforcement .

What will happen in the end ? Will Josey be able to revenge his family or Will he be hunted down by law enforcement and bounty hunter? if you wanna know it , you must watch that beautiful movie .
