That town had no clue what was coming. Well, "Little Bill" knew and he tried hard to keep the devil away but got caught up in the whole being bad ass thing.
Unforgiven is a lot of things.....There are no hero's in this.....The prostitutes are ugly, as in real life.....Little Bill the sheriff is wrong early on, and is a thug. ...He hates assassins, maybe because the President was just assassinated. ....English Bob is an assassin. He is out numbered by Little Bill always having a bunch or deputies ......The kid has never shot anybody and can't see.....Ned decides he can't kill anymore.....Clint Eastwood character was tamed by his wife, but now she is dead. He hasn't drank in years, but in movie Ned talking reveals how ruthless a murderer he was younger on whiskey. ....but he ain't like that no more.......but sober he does assassinate one of the men that cut up the woman. The kid assassinates the other man. " I ain't never killed a man before Will. "......." Well, you sure killed the heck out of that guy today ".......and then Ned who didn't kill anybody is tortured and killed and set up in front of the store.......So for the first time in years, Will drinks whiskey, and as years before, the anger and mean all comes back. The whiskey always made him mean. Little Bill has it coming, but as Will tells the kid, we all got it coming..........A movie a person needs to watch a few times to get most of the sub plots and hidden meanings. ..........Little Bill knew nothing, he was as bad as any of them. There are no heros, and they are all unforgiven. .....We have no real idea of what becomes of Will Money, only that relatives come to his wifes grave, wondering why she married such a terrible person, still unforgiven.......a western with no good guys and bad guys, no hero's
