Clint is well-known in the industry as a filmmaker whose projects "never go a
day over schedule or a dollar over budget." That, plus his name recognition,
keeps the projects flowing in.
Suffice it to say that I didn't like "American Sniper" very much, mainly
because the senility he displayed while talking to a chair during the
Republican convention seems to have eroded his sensibilities such that he
doesn't even know (or care) when he's making a propaganda film any more. But on
the level of the filmmaker it's Just Another Bad Movie...what is shocking about
"American Sniper" is how many people saw it and were taken in by it. America is
*officially* dumbed down now.
As for "Birdman," as I said I give it credit for inventiveness, especially in
the cinematography and the editing. The cinematographer deserved his Oscar and
the editor should have been nominated for one, because they managed to make it
appear as if the film were one long tracking shot, *including* sections in
which one of the characters flies around in the air. That was pretty cool. And
there were good performances by Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Edward Norton, and
Naomi Watts.
But the characters themselves, and the *point* of the movie, if it had one? To
me it was non-stop narcissism. A fading star, mostly remembered for his roles
in a superhero movie franchise, tries to resuscitate his career and get some
attention by staging a Raymond Carver story as a play on Broadway. Thus it's
100% an Ego Story on the part of the in-the-film director, and possibly reveals
similar obsessions on the part of the director himself.
I took an "FFL approach" to watching it -- "Take what you need and leave the
rest." There were good parts, but I was left with a kind of icky feeling after
watching the whole thing.
The same is proving true, BTW, about binge-watching season 3 of "House Of
Cards." The characters are just so ICKY that I *can't* really binge-watch
it...I feel like I need a shower after each episode.

Yet another? The only way this would be an interesting bit of news is if their
career had markedly improved after they had learned.
And it isn't like like the ones that do meditate are the best in Hollywood, I
think Clint Eastwood is the most overrated actor/director imaginable. I don't
know how he gets away with it. I thought his last big movie I saw Billion
Dollar Baby was a joke, just a string of very tired and manipulative cliches
masquerading as a relatable drama.
But it's his other movies that should worry the TMO, if they want to hold him
up as a good example they should consider the amoral stories he likes to
involve himself in. In his many movies he's been a rapist who wins women over
with violence, a self-appointed executioner with no interest in justice but
worst of all was his Mystic River which he directed.
Am I alone in thinking the subtext of that movie was deeply sinister? The
characters in that movie actually pin the blame for a vigilante murder on a
friend of theirs who'd had a nervous breakdown because he was abused as a
child, and that is apparently OK because "he's already damaged and his life is
crap". Talk about shit morals, I was actually shocked when I saw it. Is this
some sort of frontier justice that Republican Americans relate to but anyone
with a soul finds abhorent?
If so, where is Clint's soul after all these years of meditating?
Go ahead and make my day Clint. Stop making shit movies!
