Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Missed OpportunityBy Lynette McClenaghanThere are a number of articles in this collection that will get you thinking about Eastwoods films in new ways and provide valuable insights. But the collection is problematic in a number of ways. Firstly; the philosophy in the books title may be stretching things. There is not a lot in here about philosophy and when there is; the relationship between the films and the philosophers can be contrived. It does seem a bit of a stretch to discuss thematic concerns and characterisation and deem this philosophy. The other problem is that a number of films are over-represented; so that discussion is at times repetitive; and really; do we need yet another discussion of; for example; Unforgiven or Gran Torino? Other films in Clints oeuvre could have been examined - the disturbing Play Misty For Me or The Beguiled for example; seem perfect choices for analysis. Some good material in here; but it does come across as too conventional; and playing it safe. A missed opportunity. Try to find this book in the library.
