When Clint shows the brief footage of the actual Jewell, it's uncanny how well Hauser nailed his voice and intonation, it was literally perfect short of having the real Richard act as himself. He seemed like a very gentle and responsible man, it's a frightening world given that it can all be brought down on you should a chosen few with the power to do so see you as a target to rally the world against. Poor man but a hero nonetheless.

Clint Eastwood did a genius job portraying that man's struggle. Also the casting is sensational, of course Jewell was played so accurately but also the straight talk of lawyer Bryant played by Rockwell was spot on.

[@xendava7217]

This was one of the saddest stories I can remember. This man found the bomb. Saved lives. Did his job in the best way. In return, called a killer. Listen to his denial. He sounded honest to me. Since they didn't know, he was blamed. He is gone now. But I still feel horrible for him.

@@ropongi1008 When the Eastwood movie came out (which was more true to the story) there were plenty of articles on her role.
