Unforgiven

Unforgiven is a western modern film. Its modern view shows us how old cowboys and alpha males are still in touch with their cowboy side. They are easily drawn back into the world even though thy were living completely different lives.
Munny was living in a farm raising two children and Logan left his wife to go with the Kid in the mission he proposed to them. At first both were doubtful about the decision but in the end they followed The Kid and continued in their mission.
Even though this movie shows the hugry side of cowboys it also shows us a new image of them. The soft side that Logan portrays when he leaves Kid and Munny after the first encounter with Little Bill and the law.
At the end of the movie, the real cowboy is shown. There is a scene which show the alpha male’s true nature. Killing a lo of cowboys without receiving a hit and later threatening everybody and scaring them so they would not come in his way. He is shown alone in the bar drinking whiskey with dead bodies around him. Unforgiven is a western which truly knows the real meaning of the alpha male cowboy.
