Line 131:
* In ''[[Bad Lieutenant]]'', the [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|rape of a nun shocks even the hardened eponymous character]]. {{spoiler|He is prevented from exacting brutal revenge on the perpetrators when the nun herself forgives them. In his only redeeming action of the film, he instead puts them on a bus out of town.}}
* In ''[[Top Gun]]'' while Iceman did apologize for what happened to Goose, Maverick seems awfully willing to forgive a guy whose [[Glory Hound]]ing result in an accident that killed his best friend. Lampshaded in the ''[[How It Should Have Ended]]'' spoof, where [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Nn4wAVNOg&t=1m45s Maverick punches out Iceman] after the climatic battle because "My real best friend is dead because of you!"
* ''[[Back to The Future]]''; yeah, it's feasible that Marty's dad could forgive Biff and hire him as a handyman even after all the bullying, but the idea that he'd forgive him for an [[Attempted Rape]] of his wife - or anyone - stretches it.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Fingerprints]]'': A major villain from the first six books suddenly joins the heroes in the seventh. The reason for the [[Heel Face Turn]] makes sense; the speed with which the main character accepts it does not. The villain even admits to being baffled by the hero's easy forgiveness.
