1 00:01:19,213 --> 00:01:24,282 Eastwood. 2 00:01:27,708 --> 00:01:30,636 I mean when I'm the first time started at Dollar movies, 3 00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:31,980 said the critics at the time 4 00:01:32,004 --> 00:01:34,632 "So who is this Skorojevic and what is he doing in this? 5 00:01:34,656 --> 00:01:38,702 "How dare these Italians make an American western movie?" 6 00:01:38,726 --> 00:01:41,603 And then when I started directing movies, people go 7 00:01:41,627 --> 00:01:43,847 "We are not sure if we accept him as an actor. 8 00:01:43,872 --> 00:01:46,328 What is he doing now? He's going to direct movies?" 9 00:01:47,802 --> 00:01:52,949 Clint Eastwood became famous for riding tirelessly in more than 18 westerns 10 00:01:53,115 --> 00:01:56,423 in the midst of desolate and harsh deserts, 11 00:01:56,447 --> 00:02:01,009 treacherous rivers and beautiful landscapes. 12 00:02:03,117 --> 00:02:06,014 Success did not come easily to Eastwood. 13 00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:10,808 At the end of 1954, he did his debut on the big screen. 14 00:02:10,832 --> 00:02:14,091 It was my first role in the movie "Tarantula" 15 00:02:14,115 --> 00:02:15,300 It's a very exciting movie. 16 00:02:15,324 --> 00:02:18,918 It was either that or "Revenge creatures from the black lagoon". 17 00:02:18,942 --> 00:02:20,098 One of those two. 18 00:02:20,122 --> 00:02:22,984 Both were very good films, highly rated. 19 00:02:23,008 --> 00:02:27,249 It has since appeared in small roles in various films. 20 00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:31,014 So I kind of stumbled through the 50s. 21 00:02:31,038 --> 00:02:38,675 At the end of the 50's I got a test for a CBS show called "Rawhide." 22 00:02:38,699 --> 00:02:42,274 Rawhide, TV series about cowboy adventures 23 00:02:42,298 --> 00:02:44,298 on a cattle drive across the country. 24 00:02:46,954 --> 00:02:52,275 The producers were looking for a co-star follow famous actor Eric Fleming. 25 00:02:52,299 --> 00:02:56,125 and Eastwood was chosen for the role of Rowdy Yates. 26 00:02:56,149 --> 00:02:59,270 Oh, I mean I saw him, you know in Rawhide you know. 27 00:02:59,294 --> 00:03:02,362 And he was a cool guy then and now he's a cool guy. 28 00:03:02,386 --> 00:03:04,767 Rawhide immediately becomes a big hit 29 00:03:04,791 --> 00:03:07,106 and remains on the air for seven years. 30 00:03:07,131 --> 00:03:11,819 ...busy and actually making a living as an actor again. 31 00:03:11,843 --> 00:03:13,971 And that was like a dream for me. 32 00:03:14,523 --> 00:03:17,071 Until Fleming tragically drowns in the river 33 00:03:17,095 --> 00:03:20,989 during filming "High jungle in Peru". 34 00:03:33,541 --> 00:03:36,882 After seven long years of herding livestock on TV, 35 00:03:36,906 --> 00:03:40,970 Clint Eastwood became famous with the so-called spaghetti westerns 36 00:03:40,994 --> 00:03:43,745 Italian director Sergio Leone. 37 00:03:45,202 --> 00:03:51,953 The year is 1964 and the director is unknown decides to make a handful of dollars. 38 00:03:52,028 --> 00:03:57,192 Homage to Yojimbu, the movie by the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. 39 00:03:58,809 --> 00:04:03,674 He dreamed of casting actors like Henry Fonda or Charles Bronson. 40 00:04:03,698 --> 00:04:06,430 Sergio wanted me to play the villain 41 00:04:06,637 --> 00:04:10,338 But I just said, "You can't play bad the guy in the movie with Sergio Leone." 42 00:04:10,362 --> 00:04:14,677 So Sergio just said, "OK, but maybe you can help me find an actor for the lead role." 43 00:04:14,701 --> 00:04:16,675 So I said, "You're not going to get a star. 44 00:04:16,699 --> 00:04:22,576 But there is an actor on television which is perfect for you. 45 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,201 He's tall, he's blond, 46 00:04:24,225 --> 00:04:26,421 he is my friend and I can arrange a meeting." 47 00:04:27,970 --> 00:04:32,675 My agent asked me if I wanted to go to Italy and make a western, 48 00:04:32,699 --> 00:04:35,102 a remake of a Japanese film 49 00:04:35,126 --> 00:04:41,048 and I said, "No, I'm doing a western now it's on TV every week." 50 00:04:41,072 --> 00:04:43,307 And I said, "We have a little break 51 00:04:43,331 --> 00:04:45,507 and I would just like to have a few days off". 52 00:04:45,531 --> 00:04:50,178 I was asked to read the script as a favor to the head of William Morris in Rome. 53 00:04:50,418 --> 00:04:52,952 And so I read the script. I read it very negatively. 54 00:04:52,976 --> 00:04:55,083 I said, "No, this works be shit." 55 00:04:55,540 --> 00:04:57,947 I read it and said "Hey, this is Yojimbo." 56 00:04:58,140 --> 00:05:02,497 Yojimbo, shown by the giants actor Toshiro Mifune, 57 00:05:03,335 --> 00:05:07,729 is an imposing and indolent samurai which is sold to the highest bidder. 58 00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:12,934 I was a big fan of Yojimba. 59 00:05:12,958 --> 00:05:17,259 The moment I saw it, I thought that would make a great western, 60 00:05:17,283 --> 00:05:19,791 but no one would enough courage for that. 61 00:05:19,815 --> 00:05:21,523 And I thought, God, maybe I should do that. 62 00:05:21,547 --> 00:05:25,095 I've never been to Italy, I've never been to Spain 63 00:05:25,119 --> 00:05:26,840 and we filmed a lot. 64 00:05:26,864 --> 00:05:31,539 So I went there and it was a very small picture, 65 00:05:31,563 --> 00:05:36,115 but very stylized and Sergio was great for face selection. 66 00:05:36,139 --> 00:05:41,529 Spaghetti Western genre... and a new movie star...they were born. 67 00:05:41,886 --> 00:05:45,027 With a gun... and a fistful of dollars, 68 00:05:45,051 --> 00:05:48,559 Sergio Leone breaks the stereotype mythical western 69 00:05:48,583 --> 00:05:51,465 where only good guys fight bad guys. 70 00:05:51,489 --> 00:05:53,975 And Sergio is going to Europe, looked at me once more 71 00:05:53,999 --> 00:05:57,834 another look at our own Western genre 72 00:05:57,858 --> 00:06:00,872 which we have previously looked at eyes of John Ford and Hawks 73 00:06:00,896 --> 00:06:05,020 and Anthony Mann and John Sturgis and all those wonderful directors. 74 00:06:06,826 --> 00:06:10,880 Violence, black humor and always more action than dialogue, 75 00:06:10,904 --> 00:06:15,106 were Leone's trademark Eastwood personified in various characters 76 00:06:15,130 --> 00:06:17,265 he embodied throughout his career. 77 00:06:24,247 --> 00:06:28,295 "A Fistful of Dollars" follows. from "For a few dollars more." 78 00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:32,748 Clint Eastwood becomes a recognizable European actor, 79 00:06:32,772 --> 00:06:35,160 but his dream is to make it in Hollywood 80 00:06:35,184 --> 00:06:38,653 and neither of the two films were shown in his country. 81 00:06:39,809 --> 00:06:44,024 Disappointed, he refuses the offer for the third film in the trilogy, 82 00:06:44,048 --> 00:06:49,324 forcing the director to fly to Los Angeles and make him an offer he couldn't refuse. 83 00:06:49,348 --> 00:06:51,510 This is how Leone, Eastwood, 84 00:06:51,534 --> 00:06:57,233 and Ennio Morricone's magnificent music to create "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", 85 00:06:57,257 --> 00:06:59,908 one of the greatest westerns of all time. 86 00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:08,345 In the Clint Eastwood trilogy shows the same character 87 00:07:08,369 --> 00:07:10,752 but with three different nicknames. 88 00:07:10,963 --> 00:07:14,104 All three are bounty hunters and professional shooters, 89 00:07:14,128 --> 00:07:17,759 who will do just about anything in search of their own profit. 90 00:07:21,285 --> 00:07:24,566 I don't think the West was for sure glamorous as shown 91 00:07:24,590 --> 00:07:25,658 in movies for many years. 92 00:07:25,682 --> 00:07:29,385 It's not modern or beautiful or admirable 93 00:07:29,409 --> 00:07:33,041 take the gun and live your life that way. 94 00:07:33,582 --> 00:07:37,317 Every director I've ever had radio is an inspiration. 95 00:07:37,341 --> 00:07:39,689 I would say Don Siegel, a lot. 96 00:07:39,713 --> 00:07:43,074 My career started with him another jump, another direction. 97 00:07:43,098 --> 00:07:46,533 He encouraged me to pursue acting and he encouraged me to direct films. 98 00:07:47,684 --> 00:07:49,972 Don Siegel established himself as a director 99 00:07:49,996 --> 00:07:55,129 after winning two Oscars for directing several short films in the mid-1940s. 100 00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:58,655 He worked with the biggest stars the golden age of hollywood, 101 00:07:58,679 --> 00:08:02,670 including Ronald Reagan in his latest film, The Killers. 102 00:08:05,961 --> 00:08:08,496 An expert in the production of low-budget films, 103 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,069 Siegel directed the popular, Mutiny in Cell Block 11, 104 00:08:12,093 --> 00:08:16,917 a film with a social undertone, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 105 00:08:16,941 --> 00:08:21,789 a classic horror film that continues inspire today's filmmakers. 106 00:08:24,428 --> 00:08:26,236 Before Dirty Harry, 107 00:08:26,260 --> 00:08:29,181 Eastwood's first collaboration with director Don Siegel 108 00:08:29,205 --> 00:08:31,873 catapulting him into mainstream America. 109 00:08:33,212 --> 00:08:34,936 Coogan's bluff. 110 00:08:35,577 --> 00:08:38,707 Walt Coogan, sheriff of a small town in Arizona 111 00:08:38,731 --> 00:08:42,626 travels to New York City extradite the escaped murderer. 112 00:08:42,650 --> 00:08:48,096 Nevertheless, the fugitive was hospitalized for an attempted LSD overdose 113 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,069 and cannot be freed. 114 00:08:50,093 --> 00:08:54,241 In the big apple, a sheriff's deputy Walt Coogan has a hard time fitting in 115 00:08:54,265 --> 00:08:57,741 and gets frustrated with legal hoops through which he must jump. 116 00:08:57,765 --> 00:09:01,073 So he decided to take it take the law into your own hands. 117 00:09:01,097 --> 00:09:05,198 Coogan talks about being in the hospital in the surrender of an escaped criminal 118 00:09:05,222 --> 00:09:07,301 and goes out the front door. 119 00:09:07,325 --> 00:09:11,439 On the way to the airport the fugitive manages to escape 120 00:09:11,463 --> 00:09:14,571 just to be once more he was arrested by Sheriff Coogan 121 00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:16,844 and return to prison in Arizona. 122 00:09:17,375 --> 00:09:20,896 Sheriff Coogan is the missing link between the Man with No Name 123 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,148 in Italian Spaghetti Westerns... 124 00:09:23,172 --> 00:09:27,255 and ill will California cop Dirty Harry... 125 00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:41,736 Second and least highlight collaborations 126 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,628 between Siegel and Eastwood 127 00:09:43,652 --> 00:09:46,953 are two mules for sister Sara, 128 00:09:46,977 --> 00:09:50,677 a western where Clint saves a prostitute disguised as a nun 129 00:09:50,701 --> 00:09:52,980 from the attack of evildoers. 130 00:09:54,176 --> 00:09:57,831 A year later, they do together on The Beguiled, 131 00:09:57,855 --> 00:10:03,818 dark, sexual and psychological a play set in 1864 during the Civil War. 132 00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:10,075 Siegel's most intimate film, with a brilliant performance by Eastwood, 133 00:10:10,099 --> 00:10:12,783 and one of the rare times throughout his filmography 134 00:10:12,807 --> 00:10:15,069 for an actor to die on camera. 135 00:10:15,093 --> 00:10:19,254 In 2017, Sofia Coppola's remake of The Beguiled, 136 00:10:19,278 --> 00:10:24,506 staring amazing actresses, along with the actor Colin Farrell as John Mc Burney. 137 00:10:24,530 --> 00:10:27,212 Film production designer "Anne Ross" she told me years ago 138 00:10:27,236 --> 00:10:30,824 "You have to see this movie, The Beguiled, made by Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel." 139 00:10:30,848 --> 00:10:32,830 I would never do someone else's film, 140 00:10:32,854 --> 00:10:35,488 but then I saw it and simply stayed in my mind and I thought 141 00:10:35,512 --> 00:10:37,320 "Oh, I'd really like to tell the same story, 142 00:10:37,344 --> 00:10:39,994 but from women character's point of view." 143 00:10:41,322 --> 00:10:44,312 Encourage chatter directed by Don Siegel, 144 00:10:44,336 --> 00:10:49,637 Eastwood accepts the challenge He stars in Misty for Me, his first directorial venture. 145 00:10:49,841 --> 00:10:52,076 When I first started I made a very small picture 146 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:57,460 for likely direct costs of $725,000 on Play Misty For Me. 147 00:10:57,484 --> 00:11:00,434 And the only way I could come picture taken by me directly 148 00:11:00,458 --> 00:11:01,906 is to be in it. 149 00:11:01,930 --> 00:11:04,971 And I started even then in the end I just sort of developed 150 00:11:04,995 --> 00:11:07,788 a small system in the brain switching back and forth. 151 00:11:07,892 --> 00:11:08,867 It's not the easiest thing to do. 152 00:11:08,891 --> 00:11:10,554 It is much easier to do one or the other. 153 00:11:10,578 --> 00:11:13,919 I will probably direct next more than I act. 154 00:11:13,943 --> 00:11:16,130 That's my plan anyway. 155 00:11:17,128 --> 00:11:21,536 Universal Studios didn't pay him nothing more than what he earned to act, 156 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:23,844 but with complete freedom during recording, 157 00:11:23,868 --> 00:11:27,842 Eastwood's directorial debut manages to impress the critics. 158 00:11:28,728 --> 00:11:30,443 Satisfied with the result, 159 00:11:30,467 --> 00:11:34,395 Siegel and Eastwood began to take shape a character who will go down in history: 160 00:11:34,419 --> 00:11:38,574 Harold Francis Callahan, better known as Dirty Harry, 161 00:11:38,598 --> 00:11:41,489 marking their fourth film collaboration. 162 00:11:42,766 --> 00:11:46,047 A tenacious cop who wanted to fight 163 00:11:46,071 --> 00:11:50,500 against the political bureaucracy, all for the defense of the victim. 164 00:11:50,524 --> 00:11:54,660 There weren't too many pictures which referred to victims of violent crimes. 165 00:11:54,684 --> 00:11:57,505 It was an idea a little ahead of its time. 166 00:11:57,945 --> 00:12:00,041 A tough, urban cop from the big city 167 00:12:00,065 --> 00:12:04,478 successfully replaces the cowboy on a horse from the previous decade. 168 00:12:04,905 --> 00:12:08,749 Dirty Harry cements Clint Eastwood like a Hollywood light. 169 00:12:09,791 --> 00:12:13,046 He is considered a pioneer in the genre of action films, 170 00:12:13,070 --> 00:12:16,185 Harry Callahan, Ex Inspector of the City of New York 171 00:12:16,209 --> 00:12:18,530 is a loose cannon with a hard blade, 172 00:12:18,554 --> 00:12:20,742 determined to exterminate the hippies, thugs, 173 00:12:20,766 --> 00:12:24,432 and other malcontents that swarm the streets of San Francisco. 174 00:12:25,361 --> 00:12:29,102 The film was criticized not only due to excessive violence, 175 00:12:29,126 --> 00:12:33,241 but because of the glorification of the adept policeman in making its own laws. 176 00:12:40,555 --> 00:12:46,407 Despite this, Dirty Harry was a box office hit a success that gave way to four sequels. 177 00:12:47,303 --> 00:12:50,144 We were the first to approach as an exciting detective story 178 00:12:50,168 --> 00:12:55,843 and as a point of fantasy role of 44 magnum at someone and say 179 00:12:55,867 --> 00:12:57,234 "Do you feel happy?" 180 00:13:05,790 --> 00:13:09,184 But... the most famous all lines by Harry Callahan 181 00:13:09,208 --> 00:13:14,368 comes from the movie Sudden Impact, directed and starring Clint Eastwood... 182 00:13:19,018 --> 00:13:22,111 Even beyond his memorable one-liners… 183 00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:27,315 Eastwood said much more with his steely gaze. 184 00:13:28,345 --> 00:13:32,373 High Plains Drifter was first cowboy film directed by Clint Eastwood, 185 00:13:32,397 --> 00:13:36,390 while at the same time dipping his finger in the horror genre. 186 00:13:36,414 --> 00:13:39,452 Outlaw, incarnate menacing Eastwood, 187 00:13:39,476 --> 00:13:42,153 is the brother of the lynched man and the murdered mayor... 188 00:13:42,177 --> 00:13:45,005 However, Clint Eastwood leads the audience to believe 189 00:13:45,029 --> 00:13:46,973 that the outlaw is not a brother, 190 00:13:46,997 --> 00:13:49,733 but instead the ghost of the murdered mayor. 191 00:13:49,757 --> 00:13:55,413 A merciless angel in search, not only revenge on killers, 192 00:13:55,437 --> 00:13:59,647 but also those who testified brother's death. 193 00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:12,789 The 1970s were not a great time for westerns as for the hollywood trend, 194 00:14:12,813 --> 00:14:15,055 but it was a good time for me. 195 00:14:15,864 --> 00:14:17,921 Outlaw Josey Wales… 196 00:14:17,945 --> 00:14:21,435 one of the most memorable Western in the history of the genre. 197 00:14:22,246 --> 00:14:24,461 Well, I wanted treatment as a Native American 198 00:14:24,485 --> 00:14:28,733 have more than cliches which was presented in the past 199 00:14:28,757 --> 00:14:33,605 where you treated the Indian as a very stoic personality 200 00:14:33,629 --> 00:14:36,150 without much of a sense of humor. 201 00:14:36,174 --> 00:14:40,957 And this was the first story I read where they were treated with humor. 202 00:14:40,981 --> 00:14:43,863 Despite the fugitive rather be alone 203 00:14:43,887 --> 00:14:47,649 Josey Wales is joined by a diverse characters while on the run. 204 00:14:47,673 --> 00:14:50,535 After finding refuge on an abandoned ranch, 205 00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:53,881 make peace with yourself and decided to settle down. 206 00:14:53,905 --> 00:14:56,403 He is no longer an apostate and a vengeful cowboy... 207 00:14:56,427 --> 00:14:59,816 instead, the member unconventional families. 208 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,402 The reflection of an American petty bourgeois way of life. 209 00:15:03,426 --> 00:15:06,348 Philip Kaufman directs film to Eastwood, 210 00:15:06,372 --> 00:15:10,300 frustrated with the directors meticulous search for the perfect shot, 211 00:15:10,324 --> 00:15:14,555 dismisses it from production and takes over directorships. 212 00:15:14,579 --> 00:15:19,198 Casting director Philip Kaufman compels the Directors Guild of America 213 00:15:19,222 --> 00:15:21,668 establish Eastwood's rule... 214 00:15:30,962 --> 00:15:33,736 Almost a decade later, that same rule, 215 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,775 makes it impossible for Clint Eastwood oust director Richard Tuggle 216 00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:39,947 during the filming of Tightrope. 217 00:15:40,356 --> 00:15:45,111 And... even though Eastwood takes over and directs many scenes, 218 00:15:45,135 --> 00:15:49,690 Tuggle remains on the set and his name appears in the closing credits of the film. 219 00:15:53,283 --> 00:15:55,196 Ironically, 30 years later, 220 00:15:55,220 --> 00:16:00,144 that same director's guild honors Eastwood with a lifetime achievement award 221 00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:03,604 for a brilliant film career. 222 00:16:06,289 --> 00:16:10,144 The Pale Rider... directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, 223 00:16:10,168 --> 00:16:13,114 is the highest grossing western of the 80s. 224 00:16:14,535 --> 00:16:16,529 The name of the movie Pale Rider, 225 00:16:16,553 --> 00:16:19,008 one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, 226 00:16:19,032 --> 00:16:22,373 along with biblical readings and the preacher's collar, 227 00:16:22,397 --> 00:16:26,393 to give a religious image and a supernatural twist... 228 00:16:27,726 --> 00:16:31,937 Unlike Eastwood's western from 1973. Wanderer from the high plains… 229 00:16:31,961 --> 00:16:36,658 In The Pale Rider, the audience it remains for them to draw their own conclusions 230 00:16:36,682 --> 00:16:40,744 and determine if he is a foreigner on a star-spotted gray horse is real, 231 00:16:40,768 --> 00:16:43,544 or just a nameless apparition. 232 00:16:57,286 --> 00:17:01,927 No matter what nationality or what country you are in, 233 00:17:01,951 --> 00:17:03,886 it's always the same thing. 234 00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:07,548 Mothers send it, and loved ones sending 235 00:17:07,572 --> 00:17:12,113 their sons and husbands to war 236 00:17:12,137 --> 00:17:15,170 with great possibility will not return. 237 00:17:15,886 --> 00:17:20,547 In 1968, Eastwood acted in Where Eagles Dare, 238 00:17:20,571 --> 00:17:23,937 book adaptation by Alistair MacLean. 239 00:17:23,961 --> 00:17:26,907 The same hit maker Arms of Navarone, 240 00:17:26,931 --> 00:17:30,553 in which the German Nazis massacred by machine guns 241 00:17:30,577 --> 00:17:34,328 without ever shedding a drop of blood. 242 00:17:34,891 --> 00:17:37,999 And in Where Eagles Dare violence is explicit, 243 00:17:38,023 --> 00:17:44,436 like Clint Eastwood kills more people than in any of his westerns. 244 00:17:50,346 --> 00:17:56,631 In the cast, MGM brings together Richard Burton, in the decline of his career, 245 00:17:56,655 --> 00:18:01,566 and a youthful Eastwood. 246 00:18:05,554 --> 00:18:09,047 Five British agents and one American, played by Eastwood, 247 00:18:09,071 --> 00:18:13,561 disguised as Nazis, they attack the castle in the harsh Bavarian mountains 248 00:18:13,585 --> 00:18:18,086 and rescue a brigadier general of the US Army captured by the Germans. 249 00:18:20,374 --> 00:18:25,265 To this day, the film continues stand out with their stunning locations, 250 00:18:25,289 --> 00:18:29,898 at a frenetic pace and one of the biggest scenes ever filmed in the Alps. 251 00:18:31,962 --> 00:18:35,143 Where Eagles Dare was a box office 252 00:18:35,167 --> 00:18:38,273 and widely considered like a cinematic masterpiece, 253 00:18:38,297 --> 00:18:45,013 so much, no one until today, dared to remake the cult film. 254 00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:49,069 Years later, Clint Eastwood surprises Hollywood 255 00:18:49,093 --> 00:18:52,535 releasing two films about the same battle, 256 00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:56,325 Flags of our fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. 257 00:18:56,349 --> 00:18:58,717 When I went to Iwo Jima the first time, 258 00:18:58,741 --> 00:19:02,196 I was standing on the beach and I was very moved by being on the beach 259 00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:05,094 where would all those marines come ashore 260 00:19:05,118 --> 00:19:07,153 much like you would be in Normandy. 261 00:19:14,905 --> 00:19:19,026 "Flags of our father" were varieties detective stories for James Bradley 262 00:19:19,050 --> 00:19:20,658 find out how his father is... 263 00:19:20,682 --> 00:19:22,690 what his life was like during the war through. 264 00:19:23,377 --> 00:19:25,186 Through the eyes of his son, 265 00:19:25,210 --> 00:19:28,318 Eastwood tells the story John "Doc" Bradley 266 00:19:28,342 --> 00:19:29,978 and two more soldiers, 267 00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:34,649 all three survivors of the Pacific War and present in the famous photograph 268 00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:40,902 of six brave soldiers raising an American the flag on Suribachi Rock on Iwo Jima. 269 00:19:43,876 --> 00:19:45,808 After returning from the war, 270 00:19:45,832 --> 00:19:49,460 US government, no funds continue fighting the war, 271 00:19:49,484 --> 00:19:55,049 glorifies the three soldiers and uses them in a national tour to sell war bonds. 272 00:19:58,899 --> 00:20:02,147 Patriotic propaganda an indelible photo 273 00:20:02,171 --> 00:20:06,712 manages to influence the whole country and collect 26 million dollars 274 00:20:06,736 --> 00:20:09,063 to continue their war effort. 275 00:20:12,021 --> 00:20:14,729 Clint Eastwood, labeled a conservative, 276 00:20:14,753 --> 00:20:18,914 briefly joins the ranks of the liberals telling between the lines... 277 00:20:18,938 --> 00:20:22,273 the tragic story of a surviving soldier... 278 00:20:22,298 --> 00:20:27,686 Corporal Hayes, Indian Marine who was victimized and exploited 279 00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:31,552 by the army upon return from the Pacific campaign. 280 00:20:34,978 --> 00:20:38,650 "Letters from Iwo Jima" for me it was a detective story 281 00:20:38,675 --> 00:20:41,872 to find out exactly what the other side was like. 282 00:20:41,896 --> 00:20:43,651 It was just a hunch. 283 00:20:43,675 --> 00:20:45,790 When you put it together idea as you say 284 00:20:45,814 --> 00:20:50,206 “OK, I'll go and do this from the Japanese point of view," 285 00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:52,208 everyone looked at me like I was kind of crazy. 286 00:20:52,232 --> 00:20:53,313 "Why would you do that?" 287 00:20:53,337 --> 00:20:55,543 “You already did the American point of view." 288 00:20:56,385 --> 00:20:58,433 Regardless of doubts, 289 00:20:58,457 --> 00:21:01,998 Eastwood is moving forward with the project and with the help of a translator, 290 00:21:02,022 --> 00:21:07,588 directs an exclusively Japanese cast Ken Watanabe as General Kuribayashi. 291 00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:12,702 The amount of conflict he had prevail among his officers. 292 00:21:12,726 --> 00:21:16,227 When he got there, they resented it him for carrying out this whole modern idea 293 00:21:16,251 --> 00:21:18,699 tunneling through the island. 294 00:21:18,825 --> 00:21:22,203 They wanted to fight in a more conventional way 295 00:21:25,623 --> 00:21:29,777 The film tells the story of honorable Japanese people perspective in a gruesome battle. 296 00:21:29,801 --> 00:21:32,776 Eastwood illustrates the immense the pressure the soldiers felt 297 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,049 in the face of imminent death. 298 00:21:35,161 --> 00:21:39,336 Through intense aerial shots combined with striking close-ups, 299 00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:43,768 The realization is that no soldier, on both sides, wanted to be 300 00:21:43,792 --> 00:21:45,623 on that deserted island. 301 00:21:45,647 --> 00:21:48,288 But it also shows the futility of it all, 302 00:21:48,312 --> 00:21:50,140 the futility of war in general 303 00:21:50,164 --> 00:21:52,500 and especially the senselessness of that war. 304 00:21:54,328 --> 00:21:58,236 That year, Letters from Iwo Jima, Japanese language movie, 305 00:21:58,260 --> 00:22:01,137 was nominated for four Oscars, 306 00:22:01,161 --> 00:22:04,045 wins the award for the best sound editing. 307 00:22:09,010 --> 00:22:13,688 Steven Spielberg and Eastwood are producers of both World War II films. 308 00:22:14,123 --> 00:22:20,013 Their relationship goes back many years, when Steven Spielberg calls him in 1985 309 00:22:20,037 --> 00:22:24,298 to direct a television episode "Incredible Stories" series. 310 00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:26,028 Accepting the invitation, 311 00:22:26,052 --> 00:22:31,506 Eastwood joins the likes of Scorsese, Robert Zemeckis and Joe Dante. 312 00:22:33,375 --> 00:22:37,343 In May 2013, Warner Bros Steven Spielberg announces 313 00:22:37,367 --> 00:22:42,577 as the director of American Sniper, a film based on the life of Chris Kyle, 314 00:22:42,601 --> 00:22:46,454 a rodeo rider who joins the Marines for the love of his country. 315 00:22:47,838 --> 00:22:49,912 Disagreeing with the film's budget, 316 00:22:49,936 --> 00:22:52,011 Spielberg withdrew from the production 317 00:22:52,035 --> 00:22:55,396 giving way to Clint Eastwood take over the director's chair. 318 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,021 Bradley Cooper plays Chris Kyle, called "Legend", 319 00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:03,247 to set the record straight for most sniper kills. 320 00:23:03,639 --> 00:23:06,641 Chris participates in four different missions in Iraq. 321 00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:09,280 Busy with war, 322 00:23:09,304 --> 00:23:13,748 every time he comes home considers it impossible to be fully present. 323 00:23:14,777 --> 00:23:18,305 Once again, Eastwood ups the ante controversy among liberals 324 00:23:18,329 --> 00:23:22,423 who declare it unacceptable glorify the deadly killer. 325 00:23:24,324 --> 00:23:27,806 Ironically, "The Legend" does not die on the battlefield 326 00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:31,956 but he is killed by a deranged comrade a veteran of a shooting range in Texas. 327 00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:34,561 The responsibility of playing a human being 328 00:23:34,585 --> 00:23:37,353 when his family is still alive and it's so fresh 329 00:23:37,377 --> 00:23:40,416 it was a huge undertaking 330 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,645 and something i knew is it will be important for all of them. 331 00:23:45,239 --> 00:23:47,678 With only a $60 million budget, 332 00:23:47,702 --> 00:23:52,835 American sniper gross more than 517 million dollars worldwide, 333 00:23:52,859 --> 00:23:54,789 surpassing Saving Private Ryan 334 00:23:54,813 --> 00:23:58,025 as the most profitable war movie for all time. 335 00:24:00,746 --> 00:24:02,612 Nominated for six Oscars, 336 00:24:02,636 --> 00:24:06,211 American Sniper wins the best sound editing category 337 00:24:06,235 --> 00:24:10,805 and Bradley Cooper gets the third back-to-back Best Actor nominations. 338 00:24:24,702 --> 00:24:29,090 Cinematography aside, Eastwood has two great passions in life... 339 00:24:29,114 --> 00:24:30,958 golf and music. 340 00:24:30,982 --> 00:24:32,950 I think I've always loved being a musician 341 00:24:32,974 --> 00:24:35,429 because unlike an actor where you have to use your body 342 00:24:35,453 --> 00:24:36,935 and your face as an instrument 343 00:24:36,959 --> 00:24:38,899 the musician does not worry about all that. 344 00:24:38,923 --> 00:24:42,063 This is what he conveys through the instrument. 345 00:24:42,087 --> 00:24:44,072 At sixteen he played the piano, 346 00:24:44,096 --> 00:24:47,244 in exchange for a pair slices of pizza and beer 347 00:24:47,268 --> 00:24:50,144 at Club Omar in downtown Oakland. 348 00:24:51,427 --> 00:24:54,848 At the age of 39, he stars in Paint Your Wagon, 349 00:24:54,872 --> 00:24:58,627 the first and only musical his entire career. 350 00:24:58,651 --> 00:25:02,619 Eastwood's frustration with the film excessive budget and long delays, 351 00:25:02,643 --> 00:25:05,259 fueled his desire to become a director. 352 00:25:06,217 --> 00:25:11,006 In the midst of the California gold rush, Pardner, metal detector, 353 00:25:11,030 --> 00:25:14,758 buys and shares a wife with Ben Rumson, a farmer from Michigan, 354 00:25:14,782 --> 00:25:18,606 and they turn into abandoned my to the lively city. 355 00:25:27,488 --> 00:25:32,500 However, the film exceeded his budget even before the start of filming, 356 00:25:33,580 --> 00:25:38,159 which prompted Eastwood to announce the production he taught him how not to...make a movie. 357 00:25:39,195 --> 00:25:40,816 Later that year Eastwood, 358 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,711 and a long-time financial advisor Irving Leonard, 359 00:25:43,735 --> 00:25:47,143 decided to start production Malpaso company... 360 00:25:47,167 --> 00:25:50,602 the beginning of his career as an independent filmmaker. 361 00:25:52,604 --> 00:25:54,999 I like westerns and I like cop dramas 362 00:25:55,023 --> 00:25:57,959 but I would not like to have noted for that alone 363 00:25:57,983 --> 00:25:59,964 and when I started branching out 364 00:25:59,988 --> 00:26:02,537 Bronco Billy and more other types of films, 365 00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:06,721 it gave me a chance show other aspects. 366 00:26:07,550 --> 00:26:12,885 Bronco Billy, drama in disguise as a comedy... set in the American Wild West. 367 00:26:18,237 --> 00:26:21,402 Bronco Billy and his Wild West circus show survive 368 00:26:21,427 --> 00:26:24,916 wandering and performing from city to city. 369 00:26:25,068 --> 00:26:29,777 Eastwood enjoys parodying them the characters he was known for in westerns. 370 00:26:34,101 --> 00:26:36,609 When Bronco Billy needs a new tent, 371 00:26:36,633 --> 00:26:39,281 that's what lunatics do in an insane asylum 372 00:26:39,305 --> 00:26:42,289 with the flags of the United States American states... 373 00:26:43,579 --> 00:26:48,129 Author's film that was praised by critics ...but the audience didn't. 374 00:27:25,538 --> 00:27:27,266 Honkytonk man... 375 00:27:27,290 --> 00:27:30,802 Another director Clint Eastwood's passion
