After watching Stagecoach and Unforgiven I have a new respect towards westerns I always thought that they were boring movies and always had the same things happening in them. Stagecoach and Unforgiven are two very different types of westerns and it helped me understand that kind of movie better, and actually enjoyed it … ok so there not my favorite kind of movies but I really liked these two. I think its because they were so different, but I would have to say I liked unforgiven better because I felt that Stagecoach was kind if like many other westerns and Unforgiven was the “new” western.
Unforgiven put I new twist on westerns by adding women into the scene as the ones asking one man to help the do a job instead of the man just doing it because some other man did something else and he felt the need to do it. Also the way that Will Munny first comes into the movie as a pig farmer and you would never guess that he was a former killer, I mean he did struggle quiet a lot trying to shoot a can, get on a horse, and actually use his gun again. But as we go through the movie we see how he changes back to the way he used to be. And how he all of a sudden could do everything he used too.
But the thing I wonder is what was he like when he got home did he go back to just being a pig farmer? Or did he keep killing people if someone asked him to? Or does he have enough will power to just kill someone if it ever came between his kids but still be able to give his kids a good life.

Meaghan, good overall argument. I am the same way as you, I never really liked westerns because i thought they were outdated and boring. Good review of the westerns we watched.
