Essentially, Clint Eastwood’s character, William Munny, goes through the standard Clint Eastwood hero arc of getting beaten within an inch of his life (in some movies, he’s actually killed and rises from the dead), then coming back to righteously murder a bunch of people. But over time, I grew to appreciate and even appreciate the elliptical nature of … Read more
