I believe that the most important scene, is when Will and the kid are sitting under the tree waiting for their money. Will and the kid are talking about killing a person. Throughout the scene Will starts to change back to his original self. first, the kid takes a drink from the kids bottle. When Will finds out that Ned is dead, he completes the transition. He turns back into his mean self again. He ends up going into the saloon, and killing all of those people. He turned back to what he most drastically didn't want to turn back into.
During this movie, they use camera angles alot. The most common angle they use is a high shot, to look down on the characters. The characters are usually in a very bad situation, and the camera angle enhances it. He uses the low angles at the same time, to make Eastwood and his gang look even bigger.
I think that the biggest theme in this movie, is what is right, and what is wrong. The sheriff, Little Bill, tried to protect his town, but he beats the law breakers. What he's trying to do is right, but how he's doing it is wrong. Another example is in Will. Will wants to get money to help his kids grow up better, but in order to do that, he has to get more money. And to do that, he has to kill two people. Again, what he is trying to do is right, but how he's trying to do it wrong.
I'm going to compare this movie to Stage Coach. SC is a slower movie, it has alot of characters nad has alot of loopholes in the plot (ex, why the banker was arrested). Unforgiven, only has a couple of main characters, it goes alot faster, and has alot more action scenes than in Stage Coach. Since there is less characters in Stage Coach, you get to know the characters more indepth. This makes you relate to them more. Since i'm a huge action person, I love the excess of action scenes in Unforgiven compared to SC.
When i watched StageCoach, i was turned off by westerns, but Unforgiven has given me a new outlook on the movie. I more willing to watch westerns now.
