And, if this missive happened into your mail slot, did you buy the message and come to a slow boil, just as the author wants?
Clint Eastwood’s new movie, “The 15:17 to Paris,” is based on true events, where three American heroes stopped a terrorist on a Paris train in 2015, and it is causing the Hollywood crowd to go nuts. They just tried to put the kibosh on certain scenes that didn’t fit their liberal agenda, and boy, that made Eastwood mad. So, the famous actor and director who voted for President Donald Trump just slapped the leftists hard with a brutal surprise. You’re going to love it.
Yep, they hate him. They keep giving him Academy Award nominations, they hate him so much. For example,
… [Eastwood directed but did not act in] the mystery drama Mystic River (2003) and the war film Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), for which he received Academy Award nominations … [Wikipedia]
No black list for Clint, they hate him too much for that.
Clint Eastwood is an American icon and is probably the most famous conservative actor and director in Hollywood. Eastwood’s legendary work affords him the ability to pick and chose what type of movies he’ll make, and he loves making patriotic American movies.
His current film, “The 15:17 to Paris,” is in the final edits, but the Hollywood crowd hates it, and they tried to stop certain people from seeing it. The reason is the pro-American message it sends, described in this synopsis on Google: “In the early evening of August 21, 2015, the world watched in stunned silence as the media reported a thwarted terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 bound for Paris—an attempt prevented by three courageous young Americans traveling through Europe.”
The summary adds, “Throughout the harrowing ordeal, their friendship never wavers, making it their greatest weapon and allowing them to save the lives of the more than 500 passengers on board. The heroic trio is comprised of Anthony Sadler, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and U.S. Air Force Airman First Class Spencer Stone, who play themselves in the film.”The movie stirs real patriotic emotion and honors the three American heroes who have military backgrounds. It shows an Islamic terrorist, who gains entry into France as a migrant, attempting to slaughter 500 people, with three Americans stopping him. This just isn’t the type of movie the Hollywood crowd makes, and they tried to screw Eastwood by giving it an “R” rating.
And how would this boob know? It’s not been released yet. But it’s important to the hate story this guy is trying to perpetuate (or perpetrate, if you like) to setup the tone of the movie before he throws strawmen into the candle flame, so of course the movie – which he hasn’t seen – stirs up patriotic emotion.
The reason they gave for the “R” rating was it showed “violence,” and this pissed off Clint Eastwood, who is making this film so teens could also see a movie with real American values. It was a cheap shot by the liberal Hollywood idiots, and Eastwood decided that wasn’t going to happen. The legendary star shocked the Hollywood crowd by taking on the rating board himself, something that never happens. And, not only did he take them on, he blew them away.
Which is all rather funny, because the Film board is NOT a liberal institution! It was, in fact, imposed on the film industry by conservatives who were terrified – perhaps deservedly so – over what might appear on a screen without an adult to intervene and screen a child’s viewing. So this
“Clint Eastwood has won an appeal to overturn the R rating originally assigned to his upcoming film, The 15:17 to Paris. Instead, it will be rated PG-13. According to a source, the R rating was given for the train attack scene at the center of the film, which the Classification and Rating Administration described as ‘a sequence of violence and bloody images,’” reported Hollywood Reporter.
They added, “The Classification and Rating Appeals Board says it reviews 800 to 900 films each year, with fewer than 12 ratings a year appealed. Eastwood represented his own film on behalf of Warner Bros., which opens the film in theaters on Feb. 9.”
can, along with being a contradiction of what this boob said before (“something that never happens”), be seen as a legacy of the conservative movement. It’s quite possible that concerns about violence are a historical liberal contribution to the Ratings board, but the fact remains: Ratings are a conservative institution, not a liberal institution.
And all this then is a lurid fantasy from our anonymous author, rightly disregarded by those who are willing to think about it:
Clint doesn’t just play a “tough guy” in his movies, he showed those Hollywood snakes that he really is a tough guy who won’t be pushed around. He’ll make any darn movie he wants to make, and they won’t stop him from making sure as many Americans as possible can see it.
In case you’re wondering how much the Hollywood crowd detests this movie for its pro-American military theme along with its anti-Islam, anti-migrant message, here’s how one Hollywood critic describes it: “But in the hands of someone like Eastwood, this [movie] reads like a recruitment ad for the military. Nothing diminishes the heroism of these three men, but in Eastwood’s hands, it looks like he’s coasting on their achievements to tell a story that will make some people think that they too can be heroes if they just head down to their local recruitment office.” [Source: Collider]
Because, as we all know, one critic is representative of an entire industry. Of snakes. Right? If you’re nodding, you have a problem.
In reality, it’s just someone critiquing a movie. I do that all the time. Some I trash, some I love. Heck, let’s turn this around: Director Clint is a conservative. Therefore, all Hollywood directors are conservatives, too. Right?
Well, we know better, so when we get to the next paragraph of this divisive little bit of trash, we know we’re getting the real message of this missive:
Well, let the haters hate. They loathe patriotism and they despise middle-class working Americans who love this country. They can’t stand Clint Eastwood who said that former President Barack Obama is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”
Perhaps. They keep nominating him for Academy Awards, too. Cognitive dissonance? While I’m tempted to say, Yes, on the part of the author, I don’t really think he’s mentally ill. I just think there’s hatred of America going on – and he’s the one perpetrating it via this email. How did Benjamin Franklin put it?
We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.
And that remains true. There’s hatred going on here – but I think our Founding Father had a more clear vision of it than does this anonymous author.
Now, just for the sake of being a completist, let’s finish reading the letter:
Lastly, what in the hell is wrong with sending the message to teens that they too can be heroes? What is wrong with giving some kids the idea that joining the military is a heroic thing to do? This is exactly the kind of movie our young people need to see in today’s world that is filled with idiot celebrities pushing anti-American messages. If this movie inspires just one young American to join the military and make their life worthwhile, then Clint Eastwood’s film will be a resounding success.
At best, this should be addressed to the movie critic, and, at least to my eye, he was bringing an adult’s eye to the message of the movie. Still, it is foolish on my part to evaluate a critic’s review when I haven’t seen the movie, so at best, since no one reading this before Feb 9, 2018 will have seen it, it’s best to simply ignore it as tripe.
Just like the rest of this email.
