in Hang 'Em High
By Rick29 on Aug 24, 2020 From Classic Film & TV Cafe's first American film after achieving international stardom in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy was predictably a Western. What is surprising is that Eastwood chose to ignore the qualities that made Leone's Western pictures unique. I wouldn't call Hang 'Em High (1968) conventional--it's... Read full article
Million Dollar Baby (2004, )
By Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 2, 2017 From The Stop ButtonMillion Dollar Baby has a somewhat significant plot twist. Well, it actually has a couple of them. And neither comes with much foreshadowing. A little in Paul Haggis?s script, which director Eastwood visualizes appropriately, but they?re in the background. The film has its larger than life story to ... Read full article
The Bridges of Madison County (1995, )
By Andrew Wickliffe on May 12, 2017 From The Stop ButtonThe Bridges of Madison County is many things, but it?s definitely an adaptation of a best-selling novel. Thanks to director Eastwood, it?s not a cheap adaptation of a best-selling novel, but it?s still an adaptation. There?s still a frame. No matter how much Eastwood deglamorizes it, no matter how w...

Absolute Power (1997, )
By Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 16, 2017 From The Stop ButtonAbsolute Power has a number of narrative issues. Well, less narrative issues and more narrative slights. As the film enters the third act, director Eastwood and screenwriter William Goldman decide the audience has gotten enough out of the movie and it?s time to wrap things up. It?s a shame because t...

A Perfect World (1993, )
By Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 10, 2016 From The Stop ButtonA Perfect World runs almost two hours and twenty minutes (it does with end credits). The last act of the film is a seventeen or so minute showdown in real time. Until that point in the film, John Lee Hancock’s script flirts with occasional sequences in real time, but there’s a lot of sum... Read full article

Clint Eastwood Quotes:
Joe: Because I knew someone like you once and there was no one there to help. Now, get moving.
[last lines]
Monco: [counting reward sums of outlaws he just killed] Ten thousand... twelve thousand... fifteen... sixteen... seventeen... twenty-two. Twenty-two?
[a cowboy comes from behind, Monco turns and shoots him dead]
Monco: ...Twenty-seven.
Col. Douglas Mortimer: Any trouble, boy?
Monco: No, old man. Thought I was having trouble with my adding. It's all right now.
Old Prophet: I don't know him, I don't know him, I don't know him!
Monco: Come on now, you know everybody.
Old Prophet: Don't know anybody anymore! I'm dead! Understand?
[Lifts his head from under the covers]
Old Prophet: Well, there was a time when I knew everybody. That was a long time ago, when all this was prairie. But lately everybody's in a hurry, with your damned good-for-nothing trains!
[Mocks a train's wheels moving]
Old Prophet: Two two two *three*!
[Spits]
Old Prophet: Disgusting!
[Looks back at Monco]
Old Prophet: One day someone from the railroad comes here to see me and he says, 'Prophet, the railway's gonna go right past your house.' 'Ah, is that so?' I said. 'Mm-hm, yup that's right he says, 'All those trains gonna go right past here, and the best thing for you, Prophet, is to sell your land to the company or else we'll buy Baker's. He lives next to your place, and I'll put the tracks there, and that'll make you go crazy. What do you say, will you sell out to our company, Prophet?' "Oh, is that so?' says I.
[Grins and chuckles]
Old Prophet: He was *very* anxious for me to sell out. You know what I told him about the railroad? You know what I told him he could do with his railroad?
[laughs crazily as a train shoots by]
Old Prophet: [after the train passes] You know what my decision about selling was?
Monco: Well, you said no.
Old Prophet: You're right about that! No to him and his damn trains! I wouldn't, no!
Monco: [Finally has had enough] Look, listen to me, you old man! You're supposed to be a prophet, and I didn't come here to listen to you rattle on about trains! I want to find out about this man, it's obvious you don't know anything.
Old Prophet: [Angry] No need to be insulting! If that's all you came here to do, you can clear out of my house fast, before I lose my temper, understand?
[Monco shrugs and gets up to the door]
Old Prophet: *Hey*! Where you going, hm?
Monco: [Turns around and smirks] I guess I better leave before you go and lose your temper!
