the trouble with Clint Eastwood and its just my opinion, the roles he takes on dont really stretch him as an actor.His physical roles may be demanding -stunts etc , but ive never seen him stretched emotionally.Even in Million dollar baby for about 3/4 of the film , he seemed to speak in a monotone voice and didnt really get annoyed when the girl continued to press him to be her trainer.
the mood of the film changed about 3/4 of the way through after the accident but even then i felt that he could have given more emotionally.IT was the winner of 4 acadamy awards but there have been instances in the past where the opinions of Hollywood and the press are different to those of the general public.
im not saying i didnt like the film , i did -it showed a different side to Eastwood but imo an emotional side which needs developing further
