multi-referential script

As a representative of a tough guy, Eastwood's "Classic Car" is a tough guy to the end. Although the old man is over seventy years old, he uses his actions to show that tough guys have nothing to do with age. After the 1990s, Eastwood's directing works have often made excellent works. On the one hand, it comes from his excellent script judgment ability, the storyline of his works is fascinating, and there is no lack of thinking; The old man of many years naturally understands the rhythm priorities and the nine shallows and one deep.

Like the rest of Eastwood's directorial work, "Classic Car" has a good story about an old man fighting a Hmong gang. It seems that the weak wins the strong plot, and the story itself is already exciting, but there are still hidden secrets in the script. The first is the roles of Americans and Asians, which can be extended to the issue of racial discrimination in depth, and the background of the Korean War of the male protagonist can be used as a conflict point; The little brother gets along and eliminates racial conflicts.

Second, the family background of the male protagonist has also changed in several ways. The indifference of the family and the warmth of the neighbors can also dig out the problems of the two generations and family emotions. Third, there are also many themes for the male protagonist's war background. From a shallow perspective, it can map the traditional and modern routes. For example, a traditional old man can’t even bear to see his son give up the local Ford brand to sell Japanese cars; in a deep sense, it can also excavate the shadows brought by the war. Thereby resulting in the redemption and new life of life.

The rich referentiality of the movie script makes people feel emotional, and what the old man has to do is to smoothly complete the plot and highlight the content theme that he wants to express. And Eastwood's intuitive handling handles story conflicts and plot trends with ease. Of course, some plots and characters are too "natural", and the style is too main theme, but the old man who is familiar with Oscar's taste naturally doesn't mind these, in fact, it does not affect the development of the movie's plot and the sublimation of the theme.

Eastwood is an almighty filmmaker, capable of acting, composing, writing, directing, etc. Many people like the cowboy image he interprets, and some people like the works he directed. For the author, he still admires his vision for selecting scripts the most. The plot and multiple themes make people sigh, which is the fundamental reason why the films made by his director are wonderful. For Eastwood, age has never been a problem, so the older he is, the more demonic he is still tirelessly developing his film career, I hope he can continue to be healthy and produce more good works.
