I watched this interview what did he mean by that comment....was that a pro-life comment as in he doesn't support euthanasia

I don't know his position on abortion, though I believe he is prochoice. The movie isn't about euthenasia; the movie is about a man who lost one person to death, and now, in a huge irony, HELPS another person he cares about kill herself. That's drama. It's not a billboard saying this is good or this is bad; it's a dramatic story showing how this man wrestles with his soul and basically gives it up to benefit another (as he sees it). And as Eastwood says in the interview, the priest is correct--Eastwood's character is not BUT we all make wrong choices sometimes for the "right" reasons. THAT is the point of his decision.

One has to completely twist the evidence right there in the movie to say this is a pro-euthenasia movie. If that were the "right" position the choice the character makes would be shown as a good, right decision. Instead, it's similar to the one in Unforgiven; in Unforgiven he chooses to return to his evil ways; here, he chooses to sacrifice his soul for another's benefit.

I'm sick of arguing this point with people (not you, as you didn't take this position) who refuse to see what's RIGHT THERE in the movie and need everything spoon-fed to them.

The only boxing film I want to see is the upcoming "Cinderella Man" starring Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweiger (spelling?).
