For those of you who have not read the posted article from the first day of our three-day series may want to visit this link to catch up on what you may have missed. However, for the rest of us there is a new set of interesting film reviews for today. Hurray! During his career as a director, Clint Eastwood has shown quite a wide diversity with the topics that he has selected for the stories within his films. In the first day of the series, we observed two of the western films that he has directed. Today we will be jumping ahead a little bit to have a look at four of his other films that range in time from the late 1920s to the present day. Two of these films are stories about competitive sports, whereas the other two films observe the emotional pain that a parent would experience after losing a child. The topic of competitive sports does not easily fit with the emotional loss of a child, but it goes to show you that Clint Eastwood is willing to accept just about any challenge of storytelling.REVIEWS FOR Mystic River (2003)
