[@Me-gs3uu]

Right on!

There will be a day when someone, a new director maybe, finds themselves inherently drawn to the fine art of the Western, and they'll live there because it suits them so well. I just hope that it's within my lifetime.

[@diegoaldair8588]

Dave McKay don’t worry I got you. Im a theater major who is also interested in film. I’m currently writing a western play, but with the storytelling format of pulp fiction. Hopefully I can get it published and eventually turn it into a film afterward for people to enjoy.

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

Here I am. Lmao. I wish

[@Swarm509]

Hopefully we do get that day, but it seems the western has morphed and is currently in the "modern western" style for many directors and doesn't seem to be about to change. Hell or High Water is a good example of this. The few other movies that have a Western theme tend to have a twist to them as well, such as Tarantino movies or Bone Tomahawk. Still good movies but moved away from the traditional western.

@@diegoaldair8588 I’m currently a film student. Going into directing and acting. How did this go?

[@DJ_SpaceInvader]

Teaching myself film. Grew up watching westerns with my dad. I can only dream to be half as good as the guys back then.

[@MustangCollectibles]

I would love to see another western with Clint Eastwood, but doubt that will happen now... Unforgiven was its last, and what a masterpiece!!

[@solo-repair9374]

Yeah unlikely

[@goblinkillahd8396]

hard to watch movies without running into pop up malware and viruses nowadays on the internet, forced to pay actual money.

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

It would be hard for him to have a starring row. Personally, I thought he would have made a good actor in the remake of True Grit.

[@Batman1989King]

Clint Eastwood is spot on with his point! Storytelling is key! Unforgiven definitely fits the bill with masterful filmmaking!!!!

[@I-Cant-Feel-You-There]

❤❤❤ 90 years old and still going. He's incredible.

[@ГайФокс-п9м]

there is only one secret of REALY good western: 1)Clint Eastwood

[@ldhproductions112]

Гай Фокс and Sergio Leone

[@ldhproductions112]

[@I-Cant-Feel-You-There]

YEEEESSSS

@@ldhproductions112 YES AND YES

[@Peterplayingguitar]

I got 101% respect for Mr Eastwood and the great movies he makes.

[@TKROKS]

Clint Eastwood is definitely the single most impactful man in action/adventure motion pictures, of the 20th Century. Thank you for all of your years of commitment to movie goers. Not only in acting, but in writing and directing as well.

[@EddieHenderson92]

John Wayne can't be ignored.

[@JJA1987]

If anyone knows how too make a western flick/movie an epic masterpiece its this man

[@marcuspeters9166]

Yes . Only Clint Eastwood can make a great western. He is priceless.

[@wildbillharding]

Not true! Kevin Costner made a great western called Open Range.

[@WoKEWoRLdMAdNess]

Lee Van Cleef

[@jenhall6184]

You're the best. ❤❤❤

[@Remoniq]

And here I thought he was going to say: "Me."

[@warrennguyen08]

i have the best idea for a western. clint eastwood walks into a bar with his poncho and a colt on his side. he shoots everyone. END

[@erik-sr9bj]

Lol 10 years ago

[@erik-sr9bj]

How’s your life changed in those 10 years

[@Stonedasfcowboy2003]

Only Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, Sam Elliot and John Wayne can make an amazing cast of a western

[@arigold4714]

You forgot kurt Russell

[@lapelcelery42]

Hugh Jackman did pretty good job in Logan

[@BarcaReviewChannel]

You forgot FRANCO NERO

[@EddieHenderson92]

Robert Duvall and Tom Selleck are also in the mix.

[@dwilmer7]

After this interview Clint kicked everyone ass, then played few rounds of golf.

[@alexudell7964]

Look at all his legendary badass westerns, josey wales,good bad and the ugly, unforgiven, fistfull of dollars. And oh shit i forgot who can forget..... Paint your wagon.

[@dukevega1972]

@johnsammyanfal I respectfully disagree in regards of casting versus story. I think they're equal, along with the director. In regards to the Academy Awards, it's considered a major triumph for a movie to win Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. And besides, personal odysseys can apply to all great films, not just Westerns.

[@melaniew77msn]

100% Correct! At least one other person has great taste in westerns!

[@goldAUsilverAG]

If Eastwood ends up not making another Western, I have faith in Tarantino to make the next classic Western. Great directors that haven't failed to make entertaining films.

[@dylansarich687]

You predicted well

[@Altunuzraids]

Idk if the Hateful Eight was that good

[@SantiagoSkywalker98]

@@Altunuzraids It was very good, but I think Django Unchained is Tarantino's best western hit. I'm not demeaning The Hateful Eight, I like it so much tbh, but I think that more people prefer Django over Hateful 8.

[@nickwarriordiaz]

tarantino is trash

[@zarrayx]

if you like hateful eight, then you should watch more western movies from the 50's and 60's and 70's and comparing Tarantino as a Good western director is just nuts,tarantino is all about racism.

[@bowiemoviecrew9223]

Agreed

[@moletrain8204]

that was Maynard from Tool

[@fungiuse]

UNFORGIVEN is the best !!!

[@akosszilagyi2656]

He should've replied: "I do."

[@joekiddlouischama]

@8825TWO How were traditional American Westerns not "traditionally moralistic" and how were the Italian Westerns "traditionally" cynical?

[@Tonetwisters]

Without watching ... I will say, the buildup of hate for the bad guy because he has done something heinous, and therefore deserves the .45 lead that will soon be flying his direction ...

[@TheSaltyLibrarian]

Wow, he's not as intimidating as I assumed he'd be.

[@MysticalMrFox]

Clearly this is pre Taylor Sheridan

[@AlexK32]

Per qualche dollaro in più

[@wilde4945]

Exemplary.

Wow! This is dryer than Arnold Schwarzenegger's T2 audio commentary
