However, this is not possible because each hero needs the other at one instance in time, therefore making it impossible to choose either of the two heroes. This essay will apply the thematic paradigm in evaluating two films: Unforgiven, and Platoon to show the extent of its application in their development. The Unforgiven film is a 1992 production by Clint Eastwood, inspired by David Webb’s script. It features one William Munny who is a killer and an aging outlaw who gives up his killing to become a farmer but reverts to killing after a group of prostitutes offer a reward to whomever kills two cowboys (Quick Mike and Dave Boy Bunting) who have killed Delilah Fitzgerald who is their fellow prostitute. The film revolves around the local sheriff (Little Bill Daggett) who is out to stop their motive and at some point offers them leniency regardless of their malicious motive. The Platoon film by Oliver Stone is a 1986 production. It is an American war film featuring Chris Taylor who is a young American college dropout going to fight in Vietnam. On his arrival to Vietnam, he finds his presence as insignificant in comparison to the other soldiers who are much experienced in battle than him. He has his own team that soon finds itself fighting both the enemy in Vietnam, and the men in his own platoon. Pivotal scenes The Unforgiven film begins by introducing the cause of the conflict that the movie bases it happenings on. There are words crawling across the screen, describing the life of a woman who got married to a murderer. One of the cowboys, Davey Bunting, is in one of the rooms at the brothels with a prostitute, Alice, when from another room arises some commotion. It is in Delilah’s room (another prostitute), who was with Mike, a cowboy. Mike and Delilah are fighting, with Delilah throwing things at Mike as he advances towards her with a knife that he uses to cut up her face. The Platoon film similarly introduces its subject basis right from the start. The main character, Chris, arrives in Vietnam and is at the introduction to the generals controlling the war. As this is happening, Chris catches a glimpse of rows of soldiers’ bodies awaiting shipment back to the United States. He also sees weary soldiers who have finished their terms in Vietnam awaiting transportation back home. He later learns that the ‘older’ soldiers do not associate well with the newcomers. Chris regrets volunteering. Important pieces of dialogue In the film Unforgiven, some dialogues reflect on the subject matters. For instance, Will Munny’s exchange with Ned Logan give an insight into his motive for taking up the killing job. He says to Logan, “… I just need the money, get a new start for the youngsters”. He is on the job to earn some money so he can provide for his two children. In another conversation that Will has with Little Bill Dagget, he shows no remorse for his past, and one gets the notion that he is heartless and a cold-blooded killer. He says to Bill, “…that’s right. I have killed women and children, and just killed everything that walks or crawls. And I’m here to kill you…” (“Unforgiven Quotes”). In the Platoon film, we see Chris getting emotional when explaining his reason for volunteering to fight in Vietnam.
