[Is the tough guy made by swelling? Overthrow the President of the United States by oneself]

Dongmutou and Quentin were the ones who kept me focused. Classic tough guy movies, the edge will never fade with the old man's weakness. But the hard way is more varied and tender. Is it the same way people grow old? If you don't suffer from Alzheimer's disease, you are a hero!


Everyone has basically seen Eastwood's early tough guy movies. In short, you can take "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" as a representative. However, the form of head-to-head work in later works has become diversified, and there will never be 1V1 singles. (1V1 is a metaphor)

From all angles of director, acting, and character portrayal, Eastwood is an extremely detail-oriented person (of course, the show also has some bugs, such as when the female staff member dances with the president, a strand of hair hangs On the lips, when the next shot cuts in, that strand of hair is gone.) So it also forces the viewer to pay more attention to the observation of details, which is a good thing. It can be seen from Eastwood's Tough Guy series that the characters he wants to create are basically those of the solitary and seeking defeat type. Either he is forced to retreat and come out again, and the veteran is still the best one, or he is forced to admit defeat from start to finish so that the opponent has no way to start. These characters usually seem to have the ability to predict the plot before a certain action begins. They can make all assumptions and prepare multiple solutions. You will never see any protagonist in his works have a distressed section similar to that of a dog jumps over a wall and has a lack of demeanor. On the contrary, they are always so slow, inattentive, calm, and let you take advantage of it. Hundreds of secrets without a trace!

In the later works, Eastwood is getting older, and his sensitive blue eyes are still enlightened. It seems that the body is weak, but the steps are still strong. This is a rare spiritual leader. This endless hardcore style permeates every corner of the movie. But it is so tender, such as secretly visiting her daughter, and giving the fruit and vegetable drink in the refrigerator. He expresses concern and love in his own way. Similarly, for the hatred of shameless behavior, he unfolded like an old naughty boy in his own childlike revenge.

Out of shameless behavior towards the president, he stepped forward and not only returned all the treasures, but also gave evidence of homicide, exposing the ugly Huoxiang righteousness! At the moment when he was about to flee, he saw the ugly face of the president acting on TV, and his vicissitudes of old face showed an expression of hatred and hatred except only for children. So sophisticated and innocent.


The most classic part of the play is not that there are only two brief dialogues in the opening 13 minutes, but the moment when he kills the black killer, "Big brother, be merciful", "Your only fault is that you shouldn't touch my daughter." So handsome. Does Daddy have it! ! !


Watching Dongmutou’s movies never feel boring. It feels like the time is very fast. The movie ends and the ending song sounds. It seems that only a few minutes have passed since the beginning of the movie.
