What Is The Denouncement Of Violence In The Film Unforgiven?
The film, Unforgiven, is a revision of revisionist Westerns previously directed from directors such as Sergio Leone (CITE). His Westerns tried to portray a truer version of the Old West by changing the characters’ moral ambivalence and the visual narrative (CITE). In representing the many myths that created negative impacts on society and marginalized society such as women and minorities, by adding these new elements Eastwood revised his canon of Western films (CITE). Additionally, giving a voice to the marginalized provides a truer representation of America’s cultural diversity and the beauty in which all voices together can bring to the world. Moreover, in the denouncement of violence by the Kid, hope exists by recognizing the negative impact
violence has on an individual and society and subsequently, he changes (Grist 301). The framework of the Western genre allows Eastwood to invert the predisposed archetypes which were once singular and absolute to be reflexive and ambiguous. However, after observing the positive impacts revisions allow in a narrative. The analysis in the following paragraph shows in closer detail some of the ways in which myth-making negatively impacts society.
