Once again, the thing they have in common is their moods. They are heavy films with downbeat conclusions. Because character development is so vital to Eastwood, he makes sure to deliver that in spades. American Sniper then zeroed in on the reverse—tragedy out of triumph. He cast a big name to lead each. But determining which character is more interesting between the two, or which story superior, is plainly evident.
Eastwood executed both films well, but American Sniper was the stronger subject. Eastwood works fast on set, often using the first or second take, which gives everyone there the feeling that things are moving forward. He saw the script for Million Dollar Baby while in post for Mystic River and decided he wanted to do it. When asked when, he opted for right away. Clint is a blunt man. He knows what appeals to him, and he seizes it without hesitation.
Richard Jewell marks a seventh consecutive Eastwood film ripped from 20th or 21st century American headlines and history books. Edgar is a slog. Jersey Boys a sullen bore. And The to Paris finally exposed the dangers of speeding through a production.
Surely those performances would have been better had Eastwood worked with his actors more intently or cast real ones. Ironically for the man known for his grimaces and growls on screen, what speaks to him as a person is a broader range of human emotion. Rowdy Yates. Show all episodes. Clint Eastwood.

Sondra Locke was to appear in six films alongside him including the action film The Gauntlet and they co-habited from to The film was a massive success with the public and critics alike despite its similarities to Shane and High Plains Drifter.
The film was entered into the Cannes film festival. Bird, a biography of jazz saxophonist Charlie 'Bird' Parker played by Forest Whitaker, was the first major film Eastwood directed but didn't appear in. The movie displayed the director's love of music and earned him a Golden Globe for best director, the first award he had received since the now defunct and somewhat vague Henrietta Award at the Golden Globe Awards for world film favourite - male.
Clint Eastwood received universal acclaim and, at last, industry recognition for the dark western, Unforgiven. Eastwood, returning to his leitmotif of men drawn to violence, either knowingly or unwittingly, directs and stars as William Munny a former gunslinger and killer who takes on one last job.
Clint Eastwood is pictured on 29 March at the 65th Academy Awards ceremony. Unforgiven won numerous awards including Oscars for best picture and best director and the best director Golden Globe. Well received by the public, and with a Golden Globe nomination for Meryl Streep, the film demonstrated that he has many strings to his bow.
Eastwood indulged his love of jazz music when he directed the Charlie Parker biopic Bird , which garnered critical acclaim. In , he focused his energy behind the camera to direct and score Mystic River. This haunting film, about former childhood friends intertwined in a murder investigation, earned Academy Awards for stars Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. In , Eastwood delivered another signature achievement with Million Dollar Baby , starring as an aging boxing trainer.
These companion films viewed the conflict from two distinctly different perspectives: Flags of Our Fathers explores the American side, telling the story of one man's efforts to learn more about his father's involvement in the raising of the American flag at Iwo Jima—a moment captured in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph.
Next for Eastwood was the family dramatic thriller Changeling , which starred Angelina Jolie as a mother of a kidnapped child. Jolie's character in the film—which is based on a true story—suspects that the child who is returned to her is not, in fact, her son.
Several widely acclaimed directorial projects followed, including 's Gran Torino in which Eastwood also starred 's Invictus starring Matt Damon and Freeman as Nelson Mandela and 's J.
Edgar Hoover. Eastwood directed two films that were released in He adapted J ersey Boys from the Broadway musical about the rise to fame of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Eastwood next got behind the camera for another biopic, Sully.
Released in , the film follows the heroic actions of pilot Chesley Sullenberger , who landed a troubled plane safely on the Hudson River in Sully earned widespread praise for both Eastwood and its star, Tom Hanks.
Eastwood's next biographical efforts, The to Paris and The Mule , both hit theaters in to mixed reviews, though the latter enjoyed a solid showing at the box office.
Next up was Richard Jewell , based on the story of the security guard who discovered a bomb at the Summer Olympics, only to find himself at the center of an FBI investigation.
