Eastwood Does it Again

Rating: 9/10 (12 February 2013)

'Grand Torino' was great, but 'Heartbreak Ridge' held my attention longer, until the Grenada incident. The wordplay is super; the Marines rejected the film because they think like Maj. Powers, i.e. 'politically correct.' Who cares if the scenes were filmed in CA rather than NC? It's an economics lesson. Pendleton is closer to L.A. than Camp LeJune.
I particularly liked the way Highway 'picked' on a particular 'uppity' negroid; equally to whites. The film industry is hiring too many blacks when they only form about 12% of the U.S. population. In film and commercials, blacks are portrayed at way more than 12% of the population. Ditzy and horny blonds can have their negroid boyfriends. I'm sure glad I'm old and I don't have to put women in the category of being tarts for blacks for all the wrong reasons. 'Heartbreak Ridge' doesn't discriminate against anyone; it simply tells it like it is.
