You have to wonder if Wally's, oops, Mr. Kowalski's self-realization would have developed without his physical health problems
to... spur... him on. I thought that aspect of the story kinda weak.

Then again, it was written for him to find his courage in that situation. I haven't known anyone even vaguely like his character, and
am only familiar with that type of person from literature or films, so thought him a stereotype, until the last ten minutes when he veered from tradition.

I will watch this film again after a time and have a feeling I may appreciate it more. I do like Eastwood and think he's a damn talented filmaker, just off his mark with this one, scriptwise.

“The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as the night... Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music” - William Shakespeare
