Unforgiven Post

I chose to write about the final gun scene in the movie. In this scene I think there is a lot of character development as well as great over all action. Will's rugged determination really sets the scene for when he silently creeps into the bar during Little Bill's pep talk. I think the choice of having the gun cocking as one of the first indicators of Will's presence was a great idea by the director. It really set the tone for the rest of the shot, no pun intended. Also while Will shoots all of the men he does so in such a methodical method that it really shows what type of person he was as a youth. Up until then he had been shown as rusty but here I think he returns to his former glory. Though I believe the fact that he allowed some of the people to leave to be a sign that the old Will is back but with a different twist. Almost as if all of his late wife's guidance hadn't been all wasted. This shot was very compelling and very justifying I believe. Even though Little Bill was just trying to keep a fair and safe town he really got on my nerves. So I was more than happy to see him taken care of. This final scene was a lot different compared to that of other western endings I have scene. Usually it is an old school shoot out but here it's more modern gangster movie with a little bit more gutsy moves. This scene was a proper climax to the movie and I think it was directed perfectly.
