Unforgiven part 2
All throughout the movie I would wonder why the movie was called Unforgiven and it would kill me because i couldn't figure it out. Firstly, I would like to point out a major theme in this movie in change. All throughout the movie I feel as if a every character keeps constantly undergoing personality changes and keeps redifining what kind of characters they are. In the opening paragraph, Munny was shown as a killer that married one of the sweetest girls in town. In the opening scene, Munny is portrayed as a caring father who seems to have been transformed by his wife into a good man. By the end of the movie, Munny resorts to his old tactics and becomes the feared killer he once used to be. A similar thing happened with the Scafold kid - in the beggining of the play he was portrayed as a killer that is only interested in the money, he transforms into someone who has never killed before, and eventually ends up a killer and a character I ended up liking. Regardless, thanks to one of the blogs, I realized it is called Unforgiven because Munny cannot forgive himself for what he once used to be and what he used to do. He used to be a killer and that will never change because that is what he had already become. Although he did become a changed man and his wife helped out, he can't forgive himself for all the horrible things he did and that is why he can't ultimately get that killers mentality out of his system. The film was great and I would most definetly recommend it to anybody in search of great Westerners.

Is there anyone else in the film who refuses to forgive?
