Changeling
Went last night to see Clint Eastwood’s The Changeling – wow, incredibly powerful film. I couldn’t catch my breath during the entire film and we left feeling overwhelmed with a two hit punch of how debased some humans can be and how good others are. I got on the elevator and my mind drifted back to Unforgiven when Munny says:
You boys better bury old Ned
right… and you better not carve
up nor otherwise harm no
whores… or I will come back an’
kill more sonsabitches, hear?
Look at Eastwood’s roster as a director – Mystic River, Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, The Changeling. Incredible. All have this overwhelming thump on the chest feeling that is unrelenting. We left the movie and went to a party with a group of Brazilians and Spaniards; we needed a little levity to transition to our dreams.
