8. Eastwood is hard to understand
His political career arc is from truly horrible (the forth Dirty Harry movie is terrible), to mild Rockefeller Republican vibe when he was with his last wife.
This film looks sort of cheap on the make. It as an almost TV movie budget type feel to it. Not sure that was intentional or Clint couldn't get backing. Either way I think most on the DU find Jewell a hugely sympathetic figure. I also have no doubt this is a jab at the fake media (CNN mostly at the time, who I believe was the station that had on a psychoanalyst basically saying that Jewell fit the classic profile for a serial killer and bomber. You know really damning stuff that was total B.S.) Still the movie no doubt will play into the fake media, FBI bad mindset of today's GOP. |
