Clint Eastwood is not only a man. He is a nameless
vigilante, a vengeful detective, a bare-knuckle boxer, a Secret
Service agent, and countless other definitive screen archetypes now
embedded in our shared pop-culture consciousness. However you
define him, Clint Eastwood has a powerful and extremely
recognizable image that exists as something beyond the narratives
of his films.
