Unforgiven

The movie Unforgiven is often touted as an "anti-violence" film.

I'm just not seeing that.

What I see is the injustice and totalitarianism that comes from a government disarming its citizens.

Why don't I think that it's an anti-violence film?

English Bob, Munny and Ned were all brutally beaten because they were disarmed.

The prostitute Delilah was disfigured by a knife wielding customer who was later protected from real punishment by the government that was supposed to be protecting her.  Let alone that Skinny, the bar's owner, failed to provide her with a safe workplace.

It shows that vigilantism is a natural result of justice-denied.

It shows that violence most certainly does end some problems.  Will Munny's killing of the entire Big Whiskey police force obtained justice for Ned being whipped to death, revenge on Curly Bill for beating Munny and dispersed the posse that would have been chasing him come dawn.

It's anti-state monopoly on violence.
