Good Guys and Bad Guys

Unforgiven gave a very unique perspective on the idea of moral ambiguity in films and stories. The characters in the story, originally seemed to be categorized as good or evil. Will Muny was first thought of, at least by myself as the protagonist of the movie. But as the movie continued, none of the characters actually seemed nice. Even the main characters were having company with prostitutes and killing other men, just for the sole gain of many.
Finally, after finishing this movie, the idea that was left in my mind was that people live and do things for their own personal gain. Even if it is to help others, many always look at what they can get out of the situation. Moral Ambiguity is definitly a huge theme in this movie.
