Unforgiven
A common theme in all great movies is a cast of characters wrapped up within a scenario in which can be translated as morally ambiguous. The movie "Unforgiven" exemplifies this concepts of moral ambiguity to a great extent. In the movie "Unforgiven", we are introduced to three main characters, Will, Ned and the Schofield Kid, all of which are murderers, but with morals and honor. Regardless of their outlandish nature, these characters are portrayed as the "good guys" and are shown to be a great example of moral ambiguity. It is shown frequently throughout the film itself, especially during the shoot-out scene between Will's group and the opposing unit of cowboys. Regardless of the aspects of war and combat in which they engage one another, Will calls out to the opposing cowboy to give the downed cowboy a drink, and promises not to shoot. "Runaway Train' also shows multiple traits of being a morally ambigious film in it's entirety.
