Just putting out my speculation about the imaginary past of the imaginary character in Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven." William Munny was a man with a violently intemperant disposition. As a young man he was frequently drunk and he shot and killed several men. I believe that he deliberately pursued acts of robbery and one time he blew up a train or a bank and unintentionally killed women and children. And it was THAT that made him change his ways. Somehow he found a good woman who helped him become a sober, peaceful man. And then she died. And then the movie started.
