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.

best line from the movie.
"Alright, I'm coming out... Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him... Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down."
"That's right, I've killed women and children. Killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you Little Bill. For what you did to Ned."
"You better bury Ned RIGHT! Better not cut up nor otherwise harm no whores! Or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of bitches!"
That movie is a masterpiece. There were other great lines. After I saw "Unforgiven" I thought that Clint Eastwood was an artist and I have FORGIVEN him for a lot of silly things that he's done.
I wasn't so impressed with "Gran Torino" but it's also a great film.
