Unforgiven- KPower

Unforgiven is an excellent example of a revisionist film. Revisionist films breaks away from the usual mold of pre-existing ideas. William Munny (Clint Eastwood) is extremely different from that of the typical alpha males in classic westerns. He was previously a killer (he states that he has killed everything that walked on the earth at one time or another), a thief, an alcoholic and a cold- blooded man. His wife changed him, he believed for the better. She got him to stop killing, stealing and drinking. He became a pig farmer, until The Schofield Kid got him to take up the gun again to earn some money. His partner, Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) plays a large role in the film. He and Munny used to kill together, but he has troubling killing men again. When he is killed by Little Bill Daggett, Munny loses his control. This shows the close relationship that the two men had. Munny begins drinking again, goes into the town and kills Little Bill and 5 other men because they had put Ned’s body in front of the saloon as a warning to assassins. As he leaves the town, his last demand is that they bury Ned properly.
