Unforgiven: Difference between revisions

* [[Being Good Sucks]]: Kind of. It's noticeable that during his period of trying to be good, Munny is an unsuccessful pig farmer eking out a wretched existence, is wracked by guilt, and comes across as kind of pathetic (note how often he falls off his horse, his beating by Little Bill). After returning to his old ways, he becomes a scarily effective gunfighter and the epilogue indicates he became financially successful. Not to mention that things don't turn out well for Ned after he admits he's lost his stomach for killing and tries to return home.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Munny goes back to his old ways and Ned is murdered, but Munny avenges him. And with the money he earns from the bounty on the two cowboys, he's able to move on and make a better life for himself--rumored to be San Francisco, where he prospered in dry goods.}}

* [[Black Best Friend]]: Ned Logan

* [[Blind Without'Em]]: The Schofield Kid, though he never owned any spectacles to begin with.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Davey, the second of the two cowboys whose actions started the plot, attempted to ''stop'' his friend from hurting Delilah and when the two of them came to pay compensation to Skinny he attempted to give her a pony as part of a personal apology to her, which the other whores refused to accept out of anger. The whores put a price on his head anyway and he's killed by the protagonists. With a slow gutshot. After they break his leg by shooting his horse out from under him.

** The whole movie is about this: Quick Mike's cutting up of Delilah for laughing at his small penis. Little Bill's refusal for shedding more blood, instead forcing the cowboys to pay horses to ''the saloon owner''. The whores' sending out bounties on the cowboys, little realizing what kind of bounty hunters that would attract. Little Bill beating the crap out of English Bob, not just as a warning to bounty hunters but for personal reasons. The whores refusing Davey's direct apology and gift to Delilah, leaving the bounty on him for Munny to shoot him. Little Bill whipping poor Ned to death with the saloon keeper displaying the corpse like a trophy. And the final shootout...

'''Will Munny''': Deserve's got nothing to do with this... }}

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: According to the original script, {{spoiler|The Schofield Kid drowns himself out of guilt}}.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Will is the most notorious outlaw the west had ever seen and he was able to move west without ever really paying for his crimes. {{spoiler|He doesn't receive any punishment for the massacre in the saloon either.}}

** {{spoiler|Munny knows full well he's going to Hell for what he done.}}

* [[Kill'Em All]]: William Munny's solution to everything.

* [[Love Redeems]]: Well, mostly.
