Johann Hari on Clint Eastwood
or The Badly Researched Statements of Johann Hari vol. 356
warning, contains spoilers about Gran Torino.
seems he has never seen any of Clint's westerns. He was never the right-wing, racist imperialist hero slaughtering hundreds of faceless indians. He's most often been the champion of the decent working people against a corrupt system in his libertarian, vaguely anarchist westerns (unless there's an indian massacre in the couple Clint westerns I have not seen). See Pale Rider, Unforgiven, Hang 'em High, even the Sergio Leone ones.
And to call Dirty Harry morally "black and white" fascist wet dream? the mind boggles.
