The town whores just try to pass. Then some cowboys cut a whore. Dissatisfied with Bill’s justice the prostitutes put a plentiful gift on the cowboys. The plentiful gift draws a young gun for which to itself as the ‘Schofield child’, and the ageing murderer William Munny charges. Munny made amends for his young woman, and has raised grain and two children in peace. But his woman is away. Farm life is hard. And Munny uses in it nothing. Thus he calls his old partner Ned, sattelt his usual troublemaker, and rides from to kill once again, the lines between heroism and roguery, man and myth smearing.

Munny besserte sich für seine junge Frau, und hat Getreide und zwei Kinder in Frieden erhoben. Aber seine Frau ist weg. Farm-Leben ist hart. Und Munny nutzt daran nichts. So nennt er seinen alten Partner Ned, sattelt seinen gewöhnlichen Nörgler, und reitet von, noch einmal zu töten, die Linien zwischen Heldentum und Schurkerei, Mann und Mythos verschmierend. |
