Clint Eastwood

I would like to devote this post to Clint Eastwood's movies. My first experience about his movies was the "Letters from Iwo Jima" and actually that happened accidentally. I had a business trip and BA for long distance flights usually plays movies on their monitors. That movie really triggered my mind. I was watching stories that I had listen and well understood by my grandfathers, but this time played from different people, say Americans or Japannese-does not really matter.

That was, I realized that Eastwood is a great director, besides his wonderfull acting skills. He took a story and he knew that his work could attrcact both domestic and internationall appeal. Okay, I stop here because if I start talk about this movie I never end.

Recently, I watched Gran Torino. Another master of piece. I enjoyed Gran Torino among other things for its realistic elements. Eastwood in this movie is not getting afraid of mixing many things, like how it is to be a kid in USA, how Church, does not matter of which religion, effects the real life, how Asian immigrants live and think in America and many more.

I like his movies because apart of the story, that of course always has something artificial for being interesting, is based on so many realistic elements. And this is something that you do not meet in modern directors nowdays. Modern directors it seems that do art for their art. It seems that some of them are not carefully touch and study the reallity.

Anyway, if you have not done it yet, please get the DVD and watch both movies. I am sure that you will have something to say about. If you like to have a look check these links out:
