He became a movie star playing The Man With No Name; and today his name is known around the world. Measured by longevity; productivity; and profits; Clint Eastwood is the most successful actor-director-producer in American film history. This book examines the major elements of his career; focusing primarily on his work as a director but also exploring the evolution of his acting style; his long association with screen violence; his interest in jazz; and the political views – sometimes hotly controversial – reflected in his films and public statements. Especially fascinating is the pivotal question that divides critics and moviegoers to this day: is Eastwood a capable director with a photogenic face; a modest acting talent; and a flair for marketing his image? Or is he a true cinematic auteur with a distinctive vision of Americarsquo;s history; traditions; and values? From A Fistful of Dollars and Dirty Harry to Million Dollar Baby and beyond; The Cinema of Clint Eastwood takes a close-up look at one of the screenrsquo;s most influential and charismatic stars.

Whether a fan of Michael Cards music or his writings this will not disappoint. I loved how he wove the stories of his songs with the lyrics. It is a personal book of his life and music. How much more can one expose them self than writing about their memories and family. It like taking a trip with Michael Card down the songs he crafted and the life he has lived. There is seldom something impersonal when writing a book; letter or email. However the wonderful treasury he has given demonstrates the wonderful Christian walk he has been blessed with. This a book that is worth reading more than once. It is also worth the search to locate a copy of.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
