Unforgivable

"The pace is too slow and it's not pretty." "I like watching this movie. It's anti-genre, anti-drama climax, anti-hero, anti-violence." "It's also anti-hero, anti-violence, you didn't see that he killed them all in the end. "I was stunned, although I was thinking that yes, he killed them all, so what? I don't know how to answer. Then I thought about it again.
"Those two people shouldn't be killed, shouldn't die, especially the young man, who is a good man and did nothing. He even pulled the prostitute's face and gave it back to the prostitute." There is nothing to kill or not to kill, to die or not to die, and there is no good or bad person (the worst thing in the film is to kill the innocent protagonist when he was young, he killed so many people, and even forgot why he killed them). The two cowboys driving the cows, the arrogant sheriff and his men, and the protagonist's friends, shouldn't be damned. In the western movie, there are two elongated silhouettes under the golden sunset, the confrontational double guns, the tall, just and handsome protagonist solves the innocent villain. The happy story and the festival are no longer, and some are just myopic brothers first. The panic and horror after the second killing, the non-stop nightmare of the protagonist old man, the flowered head of the person killed in the dream and the corpse full of maggots. When violence comes, there is no distinction between right and evil. Violence is violence.
Dongmu plays the protagonist with awe-inspiring righteousness, and the real villain is regarded as a hero, which I have to say is ironic.

  • The Schofield Kid: Like I was saying, you don't look no meaner-than-hell, cold-blooded, damn killer.

    Will Munny: Maybe I ain't.

    The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, Uncle Pete says you was the meanest goddamn son-of-a-bitch alive, and if I ever wanted a partner for a killin', you were the worst one. Meaning the best, on account as your's as cold as the snow and you don't have no weak nerve nor fear.

    Will Munny: Pete said that, huh?
