A look at the life and career of Hollywood star Clint Eastwood.

A look at the life and career of Hollywood star Clint Eastwood, whose cinematic legacy is here to stay.

One of the last beacons of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Clint Eastwood has made Academy Award-winning films, acted in movies that broke norms, and even composed music. But before becoming cinema’s favourite cowboy, Eastwood had to find himself during his very solitary youth. When he moved from acting to directing, he slowly turned his critics into fans with films that promoted progressive values and yet he continued to confuse the world with his own controversial politics. Even though the legend that is Clint Eastwood remains to an extent a mystery, Eastwood’s cinematic legacy is here to stay forever.

Tha Clint Eastwood air filmichean a dhèanamh a tha air duaisean Acadamaidh a bhuannachadh, tha e air a bhith ann am filmichean nach robh a’ leantainn àbhaistean, agus bhiodh e fiù ’s a’ sgrìobhadh ceòl. ’S e aon de na rionnagan mu dheireadh de dh’ àm sònraichte ann a Hollywood. Ach mus robh e ainmeil mar gille-chruidh an taigh-dheilbh air an robh daoine gu math dèidheil, dh’ fheumadh Eastwood e fhèin a lorg tro òige a bha gu math aonaranach. An uair a ghluais e bho bhith na chleasaiche gu stiùireadh, bha na daoine a bha uair ga chàineadh an uairsin nan luchd-leantainn air sgàth nam filmichean aige a bha a’ brosnachadh dòigh-smaoineachaidh adhartach. Ach fhathast, cha robh an saoghal a’ tuigsinn na poileataigs chonnspaideach a bh’ aige. Ged a tha an gaisgeach Clint Eastwood fhathast gu ìre gu math dìomhair, bidh an dìleab aige a thaobh filmichean an seo gu bràth.
