Another Clint effort I highly admire is his adaptation of "The Bridges of Madison County" from 1995. He acts as well in this and his character and that of Meryl Streep have wonderful, believable chemistry. I have a laserdisc of it with Dolby Digital sound and prefer it to the DVD since the DVD is not letterboxed and laserdisc DD is better than DVD DD. "Bridges.." has a wonderful sound track and must be the quietest sound film ever made. I use it as a demo to show friends and visitors that we're all not into explosions and car chases (at least not all the time).
Follow Ups:
I can not say that for this one! I found it very lame...The score won´t help me...As i did not like his " Unforgivable " or what was it...much too violent!
While I can appreciate that you didn't care for "Mystic River" I hardly think it fair to refer to it as "very lame". Not with its acting, writing, and directorial restraint (Eastwood never once gives us a Hollywood type view of the Boston skyline even during a scene on the Mystic River Bridge; he just lets the bridge loom over the neighborhood).
I too consider the Bridges just a mediocre movie. To me it bordered on irritating... that given two actors I like... so I really don't know what made it that way - perhaps the distinction between a simple story and a shallow one - I don't know. But I honestly haven't spent much time thinking about that movie after watching it - this is usually an inportant sign, and I never even put my thought on it in any order, so I am going by just an emotion.
I could have not feel it better.
It was just shallow.
Sometimes I think those guys should try to see the " original* " the master band...instead of generation XXXX.* The original** is of course as old as the earth..No copywright...
** just someone was a better catalyst as others..
