4. Style of directingStyle of directing
 He had a very one shot, one take attitude, he felt
he had enough trust in the actors to do it right
the first time.
 Many of the films he directed had little rehearsal
and the story board for many of his films were
made up as the film went on, allowing him to
have more control over the movie as it
developed.

5. Tragic lives and endingsTragic lives and endings
 There is a key theme of his films contain a
tragic ending and a character with a tragic
life.
 Although nearly all of his films contain a
tragic ending, not all of these films contain
a violent ending.

6. Acting in his own films.Acting in his own films.
 Eastwood often acts in his own films, and when he does, he plays the
role of an old American man. This could link with him in real life
and show that he is feeling lonely.
 He also plays the role of a father like figure in many of his films,
linking the older and younger generations.
 In Gran Torino, he plays a rapidly decreasing old man, who has a
very close relationship with Thao.
 In Million Dollar Baby, he plays the role of an old American man
and a father like figure towards Maggie.
 In unforgiven, he plays the role of an old man who cant afford food
for his children.
 Once again, acting in his own films gives him more control.

7. Gran TorinoGran Torino
Gran Torino is one of my favourite movies directed by Clint
Eastwood. It is about a old man who lives in a run down and gang
ridden area in America. This films contains a tragic life, as Eastwood
plays a man who's wife has passes away, doesn’t see his family
often, and his children are trying to put him into care. The film also
contains a tragic ending, as he is shot and killed by a group of gang
members.

8. American SniperAmerican Sniper
American Sniper is a 2014 American war film directed by Clint
Eastwood, it is about a patriot , called Chris Kyle, who joins the
army and becomes the best sniper the army has even seen. Although
this film does not contain a tragic life as noticeable as his other films,
he is being affected by his job. This film contains a very tragic
ending, as Kyle is killed by an ex-soldier who he is trying to help.
