UNFORGIVEN


Clint Eastwood pulled out all the stops with “Unforgiven.” This film is about a man named William Munny who is a retired gunslinger. Ever since William met his wife he has neither drank nor killed a man. William’s morals are tested when the Schofield Kid comes to Will’s farm and asks him to help him kill two men in exchange for $500. Even for $500 William would not kill a man unless he rightly deserves it. The Schofield Kid tells William that they are going to kill these men because they knifed a prostitute after she laughed at the size of his wang. This outrages Will but he still tells the Kid no.
The next day, after breakfast, William tells his kids that he is leaving. William goes to Ned Logan’s house to ask for his help in killing the two men who cut up the prostitute. Ned, William’s friend, agrees to go on the hunt for the two men. At this point we aren’t sure as viewers whether Will has it in him to kill a man. Will constantly says that his wife changed him which tells us that he is trying to stick to his morals. Things get worse when William and Ned start to get shot at. The shooting is atrocious and they see the tip of the Schofield Kid’s hat. When they finally get him to cease fire they get him to join their adventure.
Around the campfire that night Ned starts to tell stories about the men that William killed. After awhile Ned asks the Schofield Kid about the number of people he killed. The Schofield Kid says three which Will and Ned obviously can tell is a lie. As they get closer to the town Ned and the Schofield Kid drink alcohol to prepare themselves for the kill ahead. They ask Will if he needs alcohol but he says again that his wife changed him.
When Ned, William and the Schofield Kid finally get to the town where the two men supposedly reside, they immediately go to Skinny’s Bar. As William is sitting in the bar, the sheriff comes in and asks Will if he has a gun. Will says no, not wanting to cause trouble. But, when the sheriff sees that he has a gun they beat him up, almost to the point of death. After this little run in with the police, Ned, Will, and the Schofield Kid leave for a cabin just outside of town.
Once Will is rehabilitated they go back out in search of the two killers. Will finds and kills one of the men. Ned having little hope of finding the other man decides to go home. After Ned leaves, Will and Ned find the second man and the Schofield Kid kills him while he is on the john. As Ned is on his way home he gets killed by the sheriff who thinks he killed the second man. When Will hears this he tells the Schofield Kid to go home. Will goes into the town and kills all the main players responsible for Ned’s death.
