I was thinking between Gran Torino and Valkyrie , but opted instead on watching Gran Torino, since I watched Clint Eastwood's recent interview with David Letterman. Not that I believe everything Letterman says, but still Clint Eastwood is Clint Eastwood.
I have never understood "Unforgiven" until this movie. The plot is very simple and straightforward, and it doesn't need a cinematic genius to uncover the whole story.
But what is clearly visible is Clint's physical stature, I mean the guy is already 79 yrs old
and could still perform that "dirty harry" look, he even did a bathroom scene, hehehehe.
All in all Gran Torino is another Eastwood Jewel, and I was fortunate enough to see most of his films , particularly the films that he either directed or produced, which had given him both his creative freedom and ability to present the deeper understanding of the character he portrays.
One of my wish list for Clint , is for him to do a collaboration with Hugh Jackman, which is a 100% your version of him, perhaps a father and son story , or a "dirty harry" remake wherein the original "dirty harry" will pass the torch to the "new dirty harry" , but that would be too shallow, maybe a "billion dollar baby!".
