Clint Eastwood Biography
Here is your chance to get an insider's look at one of the most influential icons in movies. From his early t.v work to his work as an accomplished director. Gain some information on Clint and his feelings on some of his most embarrasing failures and greatest successes.

LONG work on famous womanizer
It was great to learn why Clint Eastwood is famous. However, this documentary was gushy. With the exception of mentioning some of his flops, you would think the man walks on water after seeing this.
Why not take a more critical look at his love life? People ridicule Elizabeth Taylor, but nobody says anything about Clint having four different wives. In fact, this work suggests that Clint usually found a girlfriend before leaving a wife. People dawg Bill Clinton, but this work proves that Eastwood is a womanizer too. In this piece, he questions whether he was the best father, but he never admits that maybe he was a poor husband as well.
Throughout the work, interviewees call Eastwood egalitarian. Roger Ebert once noted that the Matrix sequels had many black and female actors, though the films weren't about race and gender, per se. Similarly, this documentary shows how Clint works with many African Americans and Jewish people, I remember that either the NAACP or Soul Train gave Eastwood an award for his diverse film casts once, but the documentary doesn't bring that up. Still, it's obvious to the viewer. I appreciate Eastwood's commitment to diversity, even while I disapprove of his political affiliation.
This documentary was 90 minutes, rather than Biography's usual of 60. Eastwood fans may love this. However, it lasted way too long for me. I didn't really need a rundown of each and every one of his films. Though this was released in 2005, the work never mentions "Million Dollar Baby," the critically acclaimed film he created in 2004.
