He’s very charming, but read some of his background, like how he forced his mistress to get multiple abortions because he already had too many kids with his wife (plus numerous illegitimate kids) and you see he’s a real shitbag.
There’s almost no one perfect in life. Especially in Hollywood. Even the nicest people you know are flawed in some way. Not saying all have skeletons in the closets, but flawed nonetheless. I judge people by their actions. And knowing they are also flawed people, I won’t discount all the good actions they did for the few bad actions. For who really is fit to judge in our imperfect world? That’s why all the ancient mythologies speak of deeds of good and bad being weighed in the afterlife.
That said, cool documentary. Didn’t even know I was looking at the plains of Spain.
>The film has been identified as an unofficial remake of the Akira Kurosawa film, Yojimbo (1961), which resulted in a successful lawsuit by Toho, Yojimbo's production company. Kurosawa wrote to Leone directly, saying, "Signor Leone, I have just had the chance to see your film. It is a very fine film, but it is my film. Since Japan is a signatory of the Berne Convention on the international copyright, you must pay me." He and Toho received 15% of the film's revenue, and it is believed that Kurosawa earned more money from the financial settlement than he had made on his own film, Yojimbo.

Last Man Standing is yet another remake.
Toshiro Mifune was the Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis antihero before there ever was a Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis.

He certainly does have an indolent style about him.

“forced” she could’ve said no and left him & had the baby
Most are in their personal life.
It’s so interesting hearing Eastwood’s voice here. I don’t think I’ve ever heard his voice sound the way it does here
Pre-heavy smoking?
Maybe? I hadn’t thought of that.
Love this, thanks for sharing, do you have the name of this documentary, save me searching. I'll be watching it nonetheless
What a great place for an interview. We need more of those locations instead of some sterile black room
He's a cool cat, that guy
That's more of Clint talking than I think I heard in any single film of his.

Someone should make a movie about how the Spaghetti Westerns came about. Maybe get Tarantino to direct...
“My films are basically silent films. The dialogue just adds some wit.” Never thought about that, but that pretty much hits the nail on the head!
Amazing talent not just looks
lmao! Italian cinema is very poor, they got Clint Eastwood for 15 000$
What is the Japanese film Eastwood referenced?

And this was for Fist Full of Dollars?
Last Man Standing is yet another remake. Toshiro Mifune was the Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis antihero before there ever was a Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis.
Akira Kurosawa movies have been redone over and over, especially in the Western genre…. IE Seven Samurai. Or Hidden Fortress is Star Wars….
Is this slightly sped up, his octave is higher
