[Continental Soldier]

I will approach Eastwood's film with some caution. He seems to have a penchant for revisionist trash -- artificially 'debunking' the legends that have made America great. Could he have a hidden motive to tear down America's myths? Recently, I saw Scorsese's "The Departed" and was disgusted by his attempt to blur the line between good and bad, right and wrong, cop and crook. Eastwood is easily put in Scroses's boat! Be careful with any film he produces or directs.

I didn't get that from The Departed. I thought Frank Costello was painted as evil without a shred of redeeming value (excepted being very watchable of course). I thought good and evil were clearly defined but the methods of acheiving what is good was blurred. And I was very fascinated by how being what you affected the two leads so greatly. And I didn't find it to really tear down any American myths. Rats have never been looked upon very highly where I come from. But admittedly I am a Scorsese and Eastwood fanboy. I love pretty much everything either one do.

From the preview of FOOF it seems that the only myth that Eastwood is tearing down is that there are only a select few that are heroes. I that one of the main guys says everyone on Iwo Jima was a hero not the few who were raising the flag.

The book was wonderful. People who see the movie will know if there is a different message.

Just curious, what revisionist movies did he make?
