Heartbreak Ridge has got to be my fav with this almost tying for first. I love the comedy in that. Lmao. He’s a whole mess in everything he’s in and or directed. You named the good ones too. Nice.

2025-04-22 05:06:40 +0000 UTCWalt had terminal cancer. He figured going out like that was the best way to protect Tao and his family. The Christlike pose he fell into was not a mistake, but a deliberate symbolic pose.

2024-05-14 01:55:47 +0000 UTCThat car is absolutely awesome. My dad has a 68 Torino that he takes to shows all the time, but when he was younger, he had a 74 Gran Torino, but that was basically the starsky and hutch car.

2024-05-13 23:26:21 +0000 UTCBJ, you're absolutely right in calling that M1 garand a WWII rifle. It was the standard issue military rifle through the Korean war until it was replaced by the M16 in Vietnam. Lots of people call the AR-15 a weapon of war, but it is not. The M1 absolutely is.

2024-05-13 23:22:17 +0000 UTCSo bittersweet... a huge heart hidden behind a growl and grumble. Men of that generation expressed love in a very different way.

2023-12-31 06:45:02 +0000 UTCyup and a lot of people don't understand with working class older generations no matter your race in America racial jokes and jabs were very common I spent the first 15 years of my life in Detroit and there was an old racist blk dude that would let me (I'm white) and my mexican friends hang out on the porch with him whilst he cracked racial jokes about everybody and nobody took it to heart because we understood what generation he was from.

2023-05-18 16:23:55 +0000 UTCThe kid who played Tao is now complaining because of the racist comments in the movie. They don't get the meaning and Walt's journey.

2023-05-18 16:13:58 +0000 UTCWow! I remember watching this movie but watching it again felt like my 1st time. I was shook at the ending. 😢

2023-03-02 19:46:35 +0000 UTCThey don't make men like Clint any more. Maybe, it's a good thing, but a loss in my others. He has been brilliant as an actor and director over the years. His westerns are iconic, with The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, right up to Unforgiven. Few play a tough guy as believably as he does.

2023-02-26 05:38:39 +0000 UTCIt's hard to believe you'd never seen a Clint Eastwood movie before this one. I recommend: Heartbreak Ridge; The Outlaw Josey Wales; Play Misty for Me (his first film directing, as I recall); all five Dirty Harry movies; the three "spaghetti westerns" that got his name out there.

2022-12-25 21:50:16 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite Eastwood movies, for sure. Oh, and coffin nails are cigarettes!

2022-12-25 21:38:06 +0000 UTCSuch a great reaction! Asia, you had me tearing up at the end. Even though I’ve seen it. Such a great movie and reaction! Million Dollar Baby is another crazy good movie! Much love🤓🤠❤️

2022-12-23 03:34:25 +0000 UTCIf you like Clint Eastwood, you should check out his modern western classic, Unforgiven, co-starring Morgan Freeman.

2022-12-19 04:39:23 +0000 UTCThe way Clint directs movie is one of the best it is all about the story no CGI crap just plain straight up story telling. And the man is in his 90's and still directing and acting.

2022-12-19 04:30:07 +0000 UTCBeautiful movie .. I’d never seen this Asia & BJ. I’m a mess but tyvm! I read this in comments & it all clicked: There is no greater love than this, to lay down one’s life one’s friends - John 15:13 Love y’all ♥️

2022-12-19 01:46:59 +0000 UTCRemember when Marty called himself Clint Eastwood in Back to the Future 3?
Tom Occhipinti
2022-12-18 01:58:49 +0000 UTCIt was a redemption story. He felt guilty his whole life for killing people in the war. Now he was able to save some. By dying. Notice when he died, his arms were stretched out like Christ’s. That’s a common motif in movies when characters sacrifice themselves for others.
Tom Occhipinti
2022-12-18 01:57:30 +0000 UTCMy Way is correct. The of kind of man that Walt was he could never die a slow death in a hospital bed. That probably scared him more than anything.

2022-12-16 22:52:58 +0000 UTCBeautiful reaction to a beautiful film, by two beautiful people. I can't think of two people I'd rather watch this film with than you guys. This is probably the least predictable movie I've ever seen, and i saw it back in 2007 in its original release. No one has a clue what to expect in this movie, and no one can see the end coming. And everyone is crying by the end too. Thank you guys, for doing this one. Check out Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry some day. He was still a rising star in movies when he made it, but Dirty Harry shot him into superstardom. You won't be sorry you watched it. Peace, and Merry Christmas!

2022-12-16 21:53:10 +0000 UTCAlso directed by Clint - "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". Was in Savannah during filming, but no sighting of Mr. Eastwood (or the other cast), unfortunately - just a lot of lights and equipment lol

2022-12-16 20:46:27 +0000 UTC"Get off my lawn!" 🤣 such a great quote... and the older I get, the more I can relate to it. Love the POV of this movie about generational and community respect. FYI - Walt was in the Korean War. I had a relative in the same war and heirlooms passed to me from their travels during that time. He wasn't even old enough to be in the military. Lied about his age. The white guy walking with Sue right around the 38 minute mark is Clint Eastwood's son, Scott Eastwood. He is nearly a carbon copy of his dad. I have yet to watch a movie directed by Clint Eastwood that is bad. You should check out Million Dollar Baby. Academy award winner for best picture and director. I can relate a lot to Hilary Swank's character. He won in the same categories for his Western, The Unforgiven, also a must see. Asia, you have to see a photo of young Clint Eastwood... he is gorgeous!

2022-12-16 20:11:14 +0000 UTCAgh! Here I am weeping in the middle of the afternoon. Not gonna lie, the racial slurs made me cringe each time, but still a great movie showing someone making the ultimate sacrifice for people that he never thought he'd become friends with and grow to love. His evolution was heartwarming. Excellent reaction too y'all! Thank you!

2022-12-16 16:32:02 +0000 UTCBelieve it or not, I've never seen this. Ready to watch for the first time with y'all whilst working from home today! YAY!!

2022-12-16 16:21:08 +0000 UTCThis is a great movie, my favorite parts are when Eastwood and the neighbor girl are interacting.
