"It has nothing to do with you. It's a sacred subject. Much like the sex life of my mother."

Completely insane movie, no real idea if it's actually anti-hunting or not but it seems to generally have respect for the animals(?). There's a lot of Daniel Plainview in Clint's performance here - which I loved. Multiple scenes where he uses obscene misogyny to fight back against racism and anti-semitism. Nobody else doing it like him.

Kanskje det mest brutale jeg har sett fra Eastwood.

Regissør John Wilson (les: Houston) drar til Kongo for å spille inn sin nyeste film, men blir i stedet distrahert og bruker mesteparten av tiden på å jakte elefanter. Filmen ender opp med å rive ned, ikke bare Houston, men hele Hollywood-maskinen. En maskin som jobber videre koste hva det koste vil.

Veldig gøy å høre Clint legge om stemmen for en rolle, om enn aldri så lite.

Is this clint Eastwood’s attempt to reconcile with his own internalized racism? His feelings of guilt surrounding the treatment of Africans by white people? If so he fails to execute this whatsoever.

Fetishization of the exotic world, a suggested “simplicity” in the life lived by Africans, and the lack of a main African character OR dialogue between two African characters make it painstakingly clear this misses the mark.

I’ll admit, there is one good moment in this film. Other than that it’s racist (in a microagression way), sexist, and fails to deliver good performances. No clue why it’s got such a high rating, I’d steer clear.

Boat scene funny though.
