When Clint produced that little showpiece for Tim Robbins and Sean Penn , he lost points in my book. After John Wayne died, there were those who said Clint would take his place as Hollywood's symbol of heroic manhood.
Not.
LOL
John (Marion Morrisey) Wayne was a "symbol of heroic manhood" on screen. In person, he could be rude, crude and ungentlemanly. Wayne was "playing" the 'heroic man' on film...it's called acting -
On the other hand, Eastward, in person, is polite, gentlemanly and has done much, quietly, to help others both on a personal level and for the communities he lives in.
Maybe we could hold our fire until we see the films...
