"Unforgiven" - What is your assessment on Sheriff Bill Daggett : a guy trying his best to keep the peace or a sadist who took delight in torture?
I was pleased when Gene Hackman won the Academy Award because Bill Daggett isn't a easy character because of his complexity as an amoral character, he's someone who's trying to end the problem by not bringing justice against the men who scarred a local prostitute, because he's afraid of the impact it will degenerate, yet the more he insists on going after the vigilantes the prostitutes pay for, the more cruel and psychotic he becomes, getting to the point you just realize he's a bad guy.
Yes, you do see Bill is problematic early on, when he shuts down Alice (Frances Fisher), and he gets worse and worse. The glee he gets from torturing English Bob (Richard Harris) and Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) is where you truly see the monster he is.
It's also curious how Will Munny (Clint Eastwood) is the former murderer who is reformed and is currently a widowed family man who has enough empathy to comfort Delilah (Anna Thomson), the victim of the slashing, whereas Bill Dagger, the law of the land, is sparing criminals and killing anyone who tries to avenge the victim of a knife attack.
