Unforgiven - 6

I don't know that much about westerns, but this one seems somehow different than the classic story line of one. There aren't any heroes in this story. The theme of justice and what is right runs through the whole film. There seems to be the hope of mercy, but when the characters are faced with choices and survival, mercy suffers and this results in many deaths and the scars that human inflict on other humans. It is able to show the complexity of good and evil in the world, and the perpetuation of violence from violence. Somehow we are all in need of a way to break the cycle, this movie sharply points to the grey motives that lie in the human heart.
