Richard Jewell is a testament to a wronged man, a cry against government overreach and an upper cut on Fake News jaw. Its also one of the years best films.

Clint Eastwood is a very rich old man. He has nothing to lose, and is beholden to no one.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose ...

Jewell is no sanitized hero. Hes a Mommas boy who doesnt know when to shut his big yap. Hes got a curious background, from trying too hard as a college security guard to other dubious achievements. So, he is your normal innocent person.
They talk because they can not imagine that anyone would think they did something wrong when they KNOW they didn't.
Just tell the truth and everything will be all right. How many times did we hear that as children? It's a lie but you will not convince your average innocent person of that. They are honest, trusting, open and unafraid because they are innocent.
An old cynic like me instinctively moves to protect them because they represent what is good in this world and it is a crying shame there are not more like them.
And loving your mother or trying to be good at your job is somehow wrong?

And yet, what did I actually see?
Tom Hanks portraying Mr. Rogers.

Clints movies consistently turn a profit for Warner Bros, and he has a free hand to make anything he wants, his way. Ive read a number of his scripts in production for the studio, and no executive gives him notes, which is virtually unheard of.

His show put me to sleep. Very young children seemed to like it.

A crazy summer was 1996 with Clinton closing out his first term. I think I discovered FR not long after. I really enjoyed The Mule and look forward to seeing this.

We are looking forward to it. We’ll probably go on opening night.

Midway is something I want to see. and I must say that I’ve never seen an Eastwood film that wasn’t outstanding.

Interesting...and surprising. One would think that Hollywood would despise Eastwood and try to stymie him whenever possible.

He’s lucky social media wasn’t a thing back then.
