unfortunate little Brown Man.
This is a trope in Hollywood.
Clint Eastwood has made several movies lately in which he is the great liberator, though Clint (lover of "black" jazz) prefers to free African-Americans.
Follow Ups:
Would you read Million Dollar Baby as Clint the evangelist of womens' liberation?
This is as close to a serious question as I could make it...
I'm not sure I see 3 Burials like that... he's not doing anything more than taking a friend's body home... except its not home.
ut in general... its like The LOne Ranger and Tonto are surrounded by "indians' and the LR turns to Tonto and says..."looks like we're in big trouble Tonto" and Tonto says... "what you mean "we" Honky".
Whichever way you tell it, its still...
where White Clint rode to the rescue of the same black actor, Morgan Freeman (what a fitting last name).
In MDB, Clint magnanimously allows Morgan to live in a corner of the gym.
In "Unforgiven," he goes after Morgan's murderers.
I don't know what the next collaboration will be between these two but it would be nice if Morgan at least removed a hangnail from Clint.
