Unforgiven – Part Five

Clint Eastwood’s final west­ern was one of the dark­est, most vio­lent, vicious west­erns ever made. Much of the film takes place in dark­ness. The tone of the film is depress­ing, with a drained win­tery look rem­i­nis­cent of High Plains Drifter. The script had been writ­ten in 1976 dur­ing our last Awak­en­ing, but East­wood held off mak­ing the movie until 1991 when he was old enough to play the lead role. Age, stages of life, and mood are key ele­ments in the movie, as they are in the plot play­ing out in the world today. Unfor­given is a story of atone­ment, jus­tice and ret­ri­bu­tion. The cold for­bid­ding atmos­phere reflects a Fourth Turn­ing mood. We’ve entered our hiber­nal Cri­sis, with its vio­lent strug­gles and com­pul­sory sac­ri­fices in an era of max­i­mum dan­ger and ulti­mately a fight for survival. This deci­sive test of human strength and for­ti­tude was as pre­dictable as the change in sea­sons. Strauss and Howe under­stood the gen­er­a­tional dynam­ics of the coun­try would align to cre­ate the mood change which would usher in the third Fourth Turn­ing in Amer­i­can history:

“The next Fourth Turn­ing is due to begin shortly after the new mil­len­nium, mid­way through the Oh-Oh decade. Around the year 2005, a sud­den spark will cat­alyze a Cri­sis mood. Rem­nants of the old social order will dis­in­te­grate. Polit­i­cal and eco­nomic trust will implode. Real hard­ship will beset the land, with severe dis­tress that could involve ques­tions of class, race, nation and empire. The very sur­vival of the nation will feel at stake. Some­time before the year 2025, Amer­ica will pass through a great gate in his­tory, com­men­su­rate with the Amer­i­can Rev­o­lu­tion, Civil War, and twin emer­gen­cies of the Great Depres­sion and World War The Fourth Turn­ing

Unfor­given fol­lows the jour­ney of William Munny, a cold blooded vicious ban­dit in his youth, turned peace­ful farmer in his old age. As a wid­ower with two kids and a fail­ing farm, he agrees to kill two cow­boys who had dis­fig­ured a pros­ti­tute in the town of Big Whiskey, in return for a reward of $1,000. In his youth he drank heav­ily and mur­dered for fun, now he was killing for money. The town is run with an iron fist by an aging gun­fighter, turned sher­iff, named Lit­tle Bill Daggett, who doesn’t allow guns in his town. Munny and his two com­pan­ions arrive amidst a dri­ving rain storm in the mid­dle of the night. They pro­ceed to exe­cute the two cow­boys, but both of Munny’s com­pan­ions reveal they don’t have a stom­ach for killing any­more. After col­lect­ing the reward, Munny finds out that his friend Ned was cap­tured, tor­tured, and mur­dered by Lit­tle Bill Daggett. He takes a drink of whiskey and the tale turns into a story of ret­ri­bu­tion and atone­ment. He arrives back in town in the pitch black of night and enters the saloon where Lit­tle Bill and his men are gath­ered. He guns down six men, includ­ing Lit­tle Bill. As he lies on the floor wounded, Bill laments that he doesn’t deserve to die this way.
