But after reading it, I found that I was fooled. I could say that I started everything but I didn't explain anything to you. There is no special wild history, nothing at all. Especially for people like me who are looking forward to watching political films such as "Assassination of Kennedy" or "Conversation with Nixon", there is really nothing. Apart from knowing that Hoover was also involved in basics, there is nothing bloody. Zhang's point.
As a foreigner, there is nothing new to watch. It seems that Americans should be even less interested in watching it. Why is Eastwood still so popular in the United States? Thinking of the "Flags of Fathers" before Uncle Dongmu, I suddenly understood something. This old grandfather’s historical film is actually like a father’s generation, telling a lightly past story to young people. This story does not need to be fresh and exciting, but to tell the descendants of all the ins and outs, the glory and darkness of those old times.
In fact, as a Chinese, I also hope to see such a movie, telling the pros and cons of my father's generation and the good and evil. After 49 years, countless heroes or mortals are waiting for comment, countless glory or tragedy are waiting to be told. There is no need for sensationalism, no need for political correctness, just a calm talk, that is enough.
However, none of us can see it. As a result, we can better understand the American love for Eastwood.
