Klint Eastwood post (dedicated to the curious)
I continue to experiment with material and genres. This time the usual blog that I have not yet written, actually.
What am I talking about. In American cinema, in fact, the dofiga of good and smart people. Spielberg, For example: paid more than a hundred films, from which he shot 50. Oscarov Halled 4 pieces + 10 nominations. But everything is relatively boring with Spielberg, because from the very beginning he is like Dofig a talented director of cool blockbusters. The first major film – “Jaws“, Then “Close contacts of the third degree“, and then already”Indiana Jones“And it rushed, in short.
There are cool personalities and another kind: Al Pacino. Here is just an actor of all actors! Despite the fact that he was mired in criminal dramas for the most “bad”, but he also manages to play in a special way every time. Cult man, what can I say.
But, in fact, for which the post was created. I strained all my imagination and broke all the honored figures: I did not find a single one who would objectively Eastwood Compared. If anything-write to the comments, could well forget someone.
This is all OK: at first he played in episodes of the series, starred in passing comedies for 100 bucks per week, nothing special. But, nine years after the first film, it happened “For the suburb of dollars“. In fact – not a film, but a copy -paste from Kurosavsky “Bodyguard“(I even had to pay a fine for plagiarism). But Istvod was wildly dragged: this is Toy-Smey-Kino, in which his cult image of an nameless cowboy with a cigar was born and in the poncho. Interestingly, the acting game is approximately at the level Schwarzenegger (cm. “No her”). Exclusively personal charisma and aura of severity.
Honorary for the “dollar trilogy”: 15.000 -> 50.000 -> https://xlcasino.uk/ 250.000. Despite the fact that the films were shot in a row, like “The lords of the rings“, salary growth is 16 times suitable. As if hinting that Clint is now a star.
By the way, if anyone does not know – “For the suburb of dollars“,”A few dollars more” And “Fame, bad, angry“They are considered one of the best films in history: the third part, for example, is stable in the 5th place in the IMDB rating hanging.
And here the most intelligent. Stuck. 90% of Eastwood films over the next 20 years – Westerns about nameless cowboy in the poncho. The situation is about the same as with Stetham: Once it turned out “Carrier“, and play it now until the end of your life. It must be thought that for an actor it is a complete hell – to show the same thing all the time.
Yes, he tried to shoot something there, but with a very dubious success: the Browser Super Boys (Firefox), for example, has a rating of third -rate trash. There is nothing more to say.
And here (suddenly) it comes out “Unflapped“. Western again, but this time classic. The sauce is that the script had been in the director’s personal archives for 10 years: Clint read it at one time, he was tanned to play a major role, but was too young. I decided to wait, to grow old. O_o actually took off, he played himself, he ate a cookie himself: 4 Oscars were booming cinema, including the best film and the best director (which is very dahrene and to resume). The spectacle is really very suitable, I give a tooth.
Western, roughly speaking, two types: Italian “spaghetti” and American classic. The first is more caricature, for the Glaverorea shoots dozens of people, fights in bars and in general there is one large stereotype. Classic cowboys are much more serious and realistic. Even with elements of drama.
“The perfect world“, The next film, Oscar did not receive. But with a clearly penny budget (well, there is a ceiling – 20 million) collected 130 at the box office. Counted, I think.
And it rushed! “Bridges of Madison County“(The difference between the budget and fees is 160 million profit),” “Cosmic cowboys“(60 million, but the budget is large there),”The mysterious river“(2 Oscars, 130 Millons),”Baby for a million“(180 million and 4 Oscars, to be precise). And then more “Substitution“,”Letters from Ivodzima“And, most importantly,”Grand Torino“.
What am I talking about. Spielberg has always been a genius of cash fees, no questions. Al Pacino has always been a gorgeous actor. But the end of the end of it is endlessly cooler because he was neither the first nor the second, he was “always”.
A man began with lousy roles and lousy films, like all. Like many, he turned out to be a cult character at one time, and his hostage for a decade. But the main thing is that he managed to get out of the annoying image, at the only specific moment to seriously train to shoot films and a real cool acting (I don’t know if he went to courses, or something) and suddenly one by one, if not even a cult, then dofiga is a profitable movie.
And most importantly, from this “dofiga” there is a huge bunch of his own projects, personally written and developed. Why? But because the person has matured, and it appeared to him what to say.
