The Mule.Originally he had 2 more mules but he gave them to a nun named Sarah.
She wasn't a real nun.
I’ve not found Eastwood to ever to promote a lie/ever
Incredibly narrow-minded post. Because he plays a mule doesn’t mean that the movie glorifies drugs.
Clint Eastwood is far from a perfect man. Including Laurie, he has had eight children by six different women. In fact, all eight were at The Mule premiere.

Good one!
Patrick Rooney loves to talk about himself.
The movie? Not so much.
______________
You noticed too.
I have seen this style of writing and cannot tell you how poor it is, a movie review by Proust! LOL
And fwiw my narrow mind was only asking if the movie glorifies drugs.....and a lot of you reacted surprisingly strong....as if you took it personally
I happen to like Eastwood......
I even liked him when he played a jewel thief who redeems himself
All I wanted was a movie critique from Freepers.......not insults
Yes, his prose reads like that of a middle school girl.
I’m pretty sure the movie is simply about a broken man willing to do just about anything to make ends meet and the nightmare that his life becomes when he actually does it. The key word there relative to your concerns is nightmare.
Not being a wise guy, but hopefully you didn’t cheat yourself out of seeing Gran Torino because it involved street gangs. It certainly does not glorify them and if you didn’t see it I strongly suggest that you rent a DVD or somehow find a way to see it.
I will give that a shot next time, sparklite2. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
That’s funny, and probably true, outofsalt
You are very kind......Thank you!
Thank you, octex!

Great point, Chickensoup. Hadn't considered that!
Actually, you've been watching him all along. He was in Paint Your Wagon too.
Man... you're right, Vince. That's embarrassing! You know, I never did like musicals. Maybe that was the turn-off!

“How does that make for a good movie when our country is fighting massive drug use and deadly Fentanyl”
It doesn’t
Bad guy is the good guy. This started with th popular but lousy Harry Potter series
This is ‘guy helps out the abused south of the border drug lord’ a very popular theme in politics.
Kind of erases the impact of that making fun of Obama photo
It’s how the left reacts to independent thinkers. I get the same type response from the college kids if I dare argue back that joy behar is not someone who cares about society, that she is irresponsible with her comedy
You’re quite welcome.fwiw, at times I’ve been guilty of the same thing other freepers are as far as being insulting rather than constructive in their posts. 5 minutes after the post is made you think to yourself, did I really have to say that like that? Probably just some psychological thing that makes someone feel better about themselves by knocking someone else. Us crazy humans.
