tl:dr - Richard Jewell has been constructed from the ground-up as nothing more than a nuance-free rallying cry for Trumpian talking points about the corrupt villainy of the FBI and the media.

This is complete bullshit and has been dismissed by left leaning critics that aren't hacks.

Look at this chair!
So he did a favor and gave a dumb speech in his 80s. There are people who literally cried and had meltdowns on the left, yet this was just outrageous for some reason. He made a film that positively portrayed Nelson Mandela, a film about a black man being innocent on death row and another that got him vilified by the catholic church yet some idiots like to put this myth out that he is putting out right wing propaganda cause he is one guy with different politics from everyone else in Hollywood.

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?

I mean, the FBI and the media fucked up big time with the real life Richard Jewell. "Corrupt villainy" is a pretty apt description. Is portraying that accurately "a rallying cry for Trumpian talking points?"
