| Topic | 'Richard Jewell': Clint Eastwood Declares War on the 'Corrupt' Media and FBI |
| Kastrada 12/04/19 9:36:25 PM #25: | I'm failing to grasp how a victim, an actual hero, who was disgustingly mocked and villified somehow shows Eastwood's political colors or anything. That Richard Jewell doesnt imagine make-believe adversaries for Jewell certainly lends it a measure of veracity lacking from its predecessor. Still, that hardly earns it any points, given that at every turn, it makes such a cartoonishly slanted case against the feds and the media that it plays as a politically motivated Trump Twitter rant masquerading as a David-vs.-Goliath thriller. This is what I don't get. They were cartoonishly evil. They turned so quickly on that poor man. I remember them talking about his porn on his computer as a "gotcha" moment in the media. Telling an actual story of how those two organizations hurt an innocent person doesn't automatically translate to Trump. Correct me if I'm wrong but Eastwood has never been supportive of Trump has he? And didn't he express regret at the empty chair thing? --- PoW '09 Topic of the Year Co-Winners (Rada and Texy) FFD ...
