During the scene, Will’s only friend, William Munny later finds out that, Ned Logan a man who has done no wrong in the entire movie, has fallen victim to the vicious beatings of the sadistic lawman Bill. In Richard Schickel’s definitive biography of Clint Eastwood, Schickel interviews Gene Hackman on the set of Unforgiven in which Hackman tells Shickel that he needed to excuse himself to go do his “Rodney King” scene (461). Additionally, the sadistic viciousness of Bill’s actions shows the atrociousness of America's violent expansion into the West, but also subversively reenacts a present day (at the time) sociopolitical event. In my opinion, Eastwood is showing the present situation juxtaposed with the past to accomplish two goals: show the
In addition, in an article titled “Guess Who's Coming to Solve Your Murder”, the writer even talks about Gillespie’s transformation: “a man just smart enough to know he's neither as talented as Tibbs nor as ignorant as the people around him” (Harris, 2008). There is also a scene that officially indicates the shift in the opinions of Bill. This is the scene when Virgil is surrounded by white men who intend to badly injure, if not kill him. Luckily, Bill comes to the rescue and defends Virgil’s character by slapping one of the perpetrators and punching the other one in the gut when they
As you can imagine, Will was always finding himself in trouble with the law while growing up. In the movie, a judge reads off charges, some of which included, grand theft auto, assault, and others. At one point, the judge addresses Will in the court room and delves into his past and about the abuse he suffered. You can see Will’s cocky smirk fade to almost a fearful teary eyed expression as the judge talks about the abusive foster fathers Will lived with in the past. You can tell, that Will still had many unresolved feelings about his past and it struck a deep emotional wound when brought up (Sant, G. V.).
They drank and picked fights together which resulted in his arrest and incarceration. However, his friends wanted the best for him as evidenced by his friend Chuckie’s statement to him that he owed it to him to make something of his life. Will’s friends also bought him a car to assist him with his commute to work.
Will Hunting does develop problems because of class conflict in South Boston, if we pay attention to his age, 20 years old, and the time of the movie, 1997. Will would have been born during the violent times of South Boston, during a time of turmoil personal turmoil for him as an orphan, turmoil for the town because of all the issues going on. Will was born right around the time the busing issues were taking place in South Boston this was a bloody and violent time, and even lead to death for some South Boston citizens. South Boston citizens were opposed to integrated busing, and so Southies learned to stick together, and became bonded whether or not they wanted to. Will Hunting was born into violence and was raised in violence, and in looking at his and his friends activities, he continued in violence, although he probably did not notice it or give it much thought at all.
A right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures is declared by the Fourth Amendment, but how one is to translate the guarantee into concrete terms is not specified. Several possible methods of enforcement have been suggested over time; however, the Supreme Court has settled, not without dissent, on only one as an effective means to make real the right.
There are many factors that led to the character Carl Lee Haley took the law into his own hands. One factor that led to his action is that he is irritated that his daughter is being raped, beaten, and almost got murdered by the two men. In addition, he is more irritated by the fact that the two men have a chance to be free from what they did to her daughter. Furthermore, he felt that the court will not give justice to her daughter. Moreover, he believes that the two men deserve to die for what they did to her daughter. Clearly, those factors have led to Carl Lee Haley took the law into his own hands.
As you can see, Will understood people. In fact,he used to say, "I never met a man I didn't like." How many of us can say that? He'd go on to explain the Indian belief that "you have to go around and stand behind someone to get a look at what he's lookin' at." Only then do you see things from his perspective. This fairness is remarkable, especially at a time in America when racism was everywhere. Will's Indian heritage helped him to look at people as people, to see beyond color or status in the world. He treated the political elite and the unemployed with the same respect and good humor. In fact, he often made fun of himself, which allowed everyone to relax and see the good sense behind much of what he said about the rest of society.
The 1992 winner of the best movie of the year, Unforgiven, is viewed by many to clash with the society of 1992 involving certain aspects of feminism and racism just to name two. This movie won four academy awards including best picture, best supporting actor, best director, and best editing but it was actually nominated for nine which is pretty phenomenal considering the amount of money it cost to make the film. In this movie, morality is in question throughout the whole film, as well as the power money actually has on people. The plot of Unforgiven focuses on the character William Munny (Clint Eastwood), who gave up his life as a thief, murderer, and villain for the love of a woman and to raise the family they were soon to have. Unlike
The audience sympathizes for Rodney King and the young victims and are angered by the bigotry of the vulgar signs, therefore the mood is suited to support the argument. Baldwin sums everything up by saying, “When you try to stand up and look the world in the face like you had a right to be here, you have attacked the entire power structure of the Western World.”
Will sees himself as a “southie”, a loser. To maintain congruence between his self-view and his experiences his acts out. He starts fights and stays in trouble. He doesn't seek anything better for himself.
Though the film fails to delve into the specifics of his childhood, it does become evident that Will bounced between foster homes and was often a victim to physical and emotional abuse. These childhood factors play a huge role in behavior as an adult. A recent study concluded that, “Toxic childhood stress alters neural responses to stress, boosting the emotional and physical arousal to threat, and making it more difficult for that reaction to be shut off” (LaBier). An inability to rationalize and control emotions and responses after abuse would indeed be seen as true in this film. This can be seen in the numerous fistfights Will found himself in. Despite the fact that Will could typically weasel his way out of convictions, he was convicted of assaulting a police officer. His conviction would turn out to be life altering. When Professor Gerald Lambeau saw potential in Will, he was offered a life that could include more than beers with friends and janitorial work. The arrangement Lambeau worked out
Will is arrested, and during his arrest hits a cop, which seems to guarantee that he will be facing jail time.
The 1992 film Unforgiven, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, has a central theme that is one of good versus evil in which good overcomes evil by bringing justice to those who are evil. Munny has changed from the vicious murderer he was in the past and now wishes to bring justice to evil men who harmed the innocent prostitute Delilah and his friend Ned. The film is not quite the traditional Western film by any means as Eastwood’s character Will Munny has not always been a moral man. Nevertheless, Will Munny through the use of violence sets out to balance out the battle of good and evil by seeing that evil men get what is coming to them, even though Munny is no saint himself.

Criminal Justice in general terms refers to the agencies of government charged with enforcing law, adjudicating crime, and correcting criminal conduct in the society. The criminal justice system is essentially an instrument of social control used by the government. Society considers some behaviors so dangerous and destructive that it either tries to strictly control their occurrence or outlaws them outright. It is therefore, the job of the agencies of justice to prevent these behaviors by apprehending and punishing transgressors or deterring their future occurrence.
