Fantastic Clint, Great movie !

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2004)

OK, now I was skeptical at first as I don't fancy Clint Eastwood very much. Bridges of Madison county left me with a "get up and watch something else to forget" kinda feeling.
This movie is great, it shows exactly how unpredictable and messy the human mind might be. The complex interactions between people and their fears and the side effects of sexual child abuse that lay on the victim, but also on all the people who knew the victim.
To me, this movie is mainly about trust and the relationship between couples. At the end, we see the two couples, happy, with their children, happy... Those two couples are an opposite to the sad wife and sad child that resulted of a unhealthy relationship between the wife and her husband. She suspected him, she feared him, and she got him killed because of that mistrust. The other couple was happy even though the husband killed the suspect.
