Some people say that this movie blurs the line between justice and evil. Revenge of the injured prostitute is now hiring murder; the evil police chief Bill, his momentary likes and dislikes are the law, he does not like prostitutes, nor gunmen, in his territory, he is the eldest brother who covers the brothers in the village ; And the glory of the bounty hunter has been washed by the years, is it a mad demon who kills people like hemp, or a professional killer who works for money?
The movie doesn't really answer anything, it just presents. Killing is not that easy, as Bad Sheriff Bill said. After finishing his murderous debut, the Scofield kid cried and decided not to do it. The United States is a country deeply influenced by the Puritans. In the Wild West, the law was gradually established. Sheriff Bill was both judicial and law-enforcing and violating the law. Although William is now a "good guy", he was a smasher when he was a hitter. It can only be an era of more evil.
Therefore, justice is difficult to judge and measure, especially in an era when multiple value systems are mixed and matched. But fairness is relatively clear. The cowboy beat and disfigured the prostitute, but the Sheriff Little Bill used only 7 horses to end it. This is unfair; Bill wanted to prevent the bounty murder, but he personally killed Ned who had given up in his hometown, which was especially unfair.
What is unforgivable for William, who can give up alcohol and climb out of the bar without dignity? That is unfair, that is vain. It was his anger at unfairness that allowed William to pull the trigger like a god again! It's the same as the anger of a prostitute when she is treated unfairly.
Unfair, Unforgiven. Only unfair, unforgivable.
Conscience faces God and fairness faces the world. The old William insisted on only the bottom line of conscience and fairness. Leaving the conscience and fairness, justice and moral high-level words are nonsense.
Song Jiang, who was full of words for the heavens, killed his brother Li Kui with poisoned wine. He had neither conscience nor fairness. He was an unforgivable example.
