It's also an anomaly in that it's one of the few movies that was made 100% without any re-writes or adjustments to the script. The author, David Peoples, who wrote the script in the 70's, which floated around for 20 years, Clint sat on it for a decade, cried when Clint showed him the early version/cut of the movie. It's word for word what Peoples wrote. Saul Rubinek talks about this in a great candid interview about working with Clint Eastwood on Unforgiven.

Without spoiling, it helps to understand that a big reason that Unforgiven is considered a landmark film is because "Cowboy" movies and Clint Eastwood movies in general were criticized for not being very deep, not putting much value on humanity, and purely just entertainment, not to be taken seriously. Movies like Goodfellas were often referred to as "Cowboy" movies for being very entertaining, very violent, but without any deep meaning. After Unforgiven, the media stopped giving Clint Eastwood that old crap and started taking him a lot more seriously.
