Good grief people! It was first a short story. A little known work that a classy director took a chance on. Eastwood made it into a film. It was a good film, period.

You don't like it? Fine. Don't see it.

Now that we know what it is actually about, we can indeed make such a decision for ourselves. I just wish the movie studio would have given us that courtesy.

I agree with you. If you don't like it, don't see it.

However, in order to know whether to like it or not, I need to know what it is about (not necessarily the ending). If it turns out the movie's message is something I don't approve of, I refuse to contribute to the commercial success of the movie. The commercial of this movie is surely hiding the end. That's why I really appreciate the sharing from those who have watched.

Popular culture both reflects and shapes art; non-durable art generally echoes the background noise and means nothing in the long run, the tableau is not the tapestry.
