Unforgiven- Clash of mentality

This really was an interesting movie in terms of how our hero is portrayed. The main question throughout the whole movie is, " Well is Clint Eastwood the Hero or just playing the part for the money?" He does a great job of keeping his actual intentions hidden from the audience through the whole movie. What I did find odd though is how he seemed to revert back old very easily after Ned decided not to kill the first cowboy that butchered the whore. Munny (Eastwood) did have some defining traits that made him a hero. Granted after Ned was "accidentally" killed, he was more after revenge than anything else. This anti-hero/hero inner class is very common in Clint Eastwood movies, but it my opinion it is these that really make his movies great.
All in all, this movie was very enjoyable but a little on the long side. It is slightly unfair to compare this movie to Gran Torino, the most recent Eastwood movie I have seen, but his character shares many of the same aspect between the two movies. Each character has just gone through a period of great loss, and is a bit on the "crazy" or how shall you say "disgruntled/angry" side. They do go through redemption in a unique way, but they do find peace with what they have done.
