DVD Reviews of Clint Eastwood - Out of the Shadows
DVD Review: While this isn't a perfect documentary, it is a must for Eastwood fans
Summary: 4 Stars
You know who you are. Maybe (like me) you recall him from his early days on television. I was a kid then but I remember how handsome he was, so rugged, so mysterious.
What I've always found fascinating about Eastwood is how people didn't foresee the fact that this man had staying power, that he could be more than a stereotype (although I think he allowed himself to be stereotyped for awhile and made big bucks doing so; not the dumbest move around).
Watch this documentary, though, and try to think beyond the comments of the reviewers. They have worthwhile points but take them as a starting point for reflecting on Eastwood's career and about when he veered from Westerns and Dirty Harry type roles to even more daring movies. He has continued to evolve from actor to director and...what takes my breath away and serves as inspiration for me...is how, at his age, he is able to stay on top of the game, with the chops to direct Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby. I think he's surprised even himself but that, of course, is just a wild guess.
Anyway, this documentary is a must for Eastwood fans and will provide new facts as well, even for those who think they know it all, as well as a divergence of opinions (feel free to disagree with any or all of them). After watching this, do your own research or just go back and go through his films from the early years onward. While you are at it, get a track of Sergio Leone music (just trust me on that one; see below):
The Sergio Leone Anthology (A Fistful Of Dollars / For A Few Dollars More / The Good, The Bad And The Ugly / Duck, You Sucker)
Letters from Iwo Jima (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Flags of Our Fathers (Widescreen Edition)
Million Dollar Baby (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Description of Clint Eastwood - Out of the Shadows
MORGAN FREEMAN NARRATES A RICHLY ENTERTAINING INSIDER'S LOOK AT EASTWOOD'S PERSONAL LIFE AND PUBLIC CAREER. LOADED WITH RAREARCHIVAL MATERIAL, STAR COMMENTARIES AND MEMORABLE FILM CLIPS.Bruce Ricker's documentary Clint Eastwood: Out of the Shadows offers an entertaining, in-depth look at this American icon. It's hard to believe now, but there was a time when Clint Eastwood and his films were casually dismissed by critics as inconsequential pop tripe. This film explores Eastwood's career from his early days as a stock player on the Universal lot to his seven years on TV's Rawhide, and his breakout hits with Italian spaghetti westerns through his eventual acceptance by the critical cognoscenti as an elder statesman of film. Punctuated with great interviews and priceless home movies and outtake footage, this film is sure to make any Eastwood fan's day. --Kristian St. Clair
