Bullets in the chamber from Clint Eastwood's filmography

Any self-respecting movie buff knows most of the films that the legend and living icon of the seventh art have interpreted and directed. Mystic River, Without Forgiveness, MIllion Dollar baby, Gran Torino … Clint Eastwood has told stories that will last forever in the collective imagination and yet, as a good outlaw in the world of fiction, he has several aces in the form of films, not so recognized as level of awards but that show that the director’s is one of the most regular races on celluloid. “The Pale Rider” (1985) “The Pale Rider” (Warner Bros) Clint Eastwood returned to the western, but this time in addition to the saddle, he also sat in the director’s chair. The figure of the lone ranger who seems to come out of nowhere, solve a problem or mission and disappear out of nowhere. The figure of this character is that of apparently a priest with a dark past who must reuse his skills with weapons to save a mining town. Some classify the film as a remake of Deep Roots, but Eastwood plays better with the past life and mysticism of his character. “White Hunter, Black Heart” (1990) “White Hunter, Black Heart” (Warner Bros) The metacinem or how Eastwood played one of his idols, John Huston. In his performance there are things of both, but this story from the novel by Peter Viertel that told the experiences of the filming of The African Queen and the obsession that the director supposedly had to hunt an elephant in a clear analogy to Moby Dick.”A Perfect World” (1993) “A Perfect World” (Warner Bros) Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner united in a movie after Dancing with Wolves (1990) and No Forgiveness (1992) had to have been a real box office success and he spent hard time on the billboard, the critics did not crucify it but neither did it elevate it as with other projects. The development of this road movie story in which we see the evolution of friendship between an escaped criminal and a child who would mark the beginning of a hallmark in Eastwood’s cinema: Feelings and reality hits in the final sections of his films . “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” (1997) “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” (Warner Bros) Actually, the director had little interest in directing this story about a murder in Savanah, south of the United States but the different stories he received from the people there when he asked about the case. Comparing it with his great works does not do it justice, but this unusual story is worth it, just for its characters and seeing how Eastwood at certain moments is totally carried away by comedy.
