PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clint Eastwood is Negative . In 1992  Clint Eastwoodâs  âUnforgivenâ won four Academy Awards and sent  his  career on an entirely new trajectory.
Yes  it was a Western and  Eastwood  had made plenty of those already but  âUnforgiven â was different. It had some action but mostly it was a bleak character study and was regarded by many as âart.â Whether intending to or  not Eastwood  had become an auteur.
In the wake of this critical and artistic breakthrough  Warner Brothers â  Eastwood âs exclusive distributor for  his  entire output as a director since  his  debut âPlay Misty for Meâ in 1971 â began to position not all but most of  his  future efforts as âOscar bait.â Thirteen of Eastwoodâs next 19 films came out in the fall â the highly-treasured time of year reserved for awards contenders. The six that were not released in autumn were low achievers such as âAbsolute Powerâ and âBlood Workâ and lightweight fluff like the senior citizen buddy comedy âSpace Cowboysâ and the bizarre misfire that was âJersey Boys.â
Warner Brotherâs long term  Eastwood  strategy paid off in spades. Since and including âUnforgiven â Eastwoodâs films have been nominated for 35 Oscars and have won 12 with  Eastwood himself  walking away with four as well as receiving the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1994.
Less than a dozen people have won more Oscars than  Eastwood  and most of those were in technical categories. Not bad for a guy who used to co-star with monkeys.
Beginning in 2006 with âFlags of Our Fathersâ and âLetters from Iwo Jimaâ (shot at the same time but released three months apart)  Eastwoodâs choice of material started to change. The political content began to increase (âJ. Edgar â âInvictus â âGran Torinoâ) and although not overt it confirmed what many had known for a while:  Eastwood  was a conservative. While a moderate on most social issues   Eastwood  considers  himself  a âpragmatic Libertarianâ who eschews political correctness and  his  output in the last dozen years has indicated that  he âs an unabashed patriot.
While not a backer of most American Wars  he âs a staunch and unwavering supporter of armed service personnel  a point made with unmistakable clarity in âAmerican Sniper.â In addition to being the highest-grossing movie of 2014 and Eastwoodâs career  this throttling and unflinching bio-drama about the late Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) lit a welcomed fire under red state Middle America.  Eastwood  pulled off a delicate balancing act by crafting an inspirational  crowd-pleasing film that didnât pander while acknowledging the efforts of an American hero without addressing the war itself.
âThe 15:17 to Parisâ â the new movie about the three soldiers that thwarted the 2015 Thlys Train Attack â opens this Friday and it is the first  Eastwood  movie in at least 20 years that was not made available for advance press viewing.
Instead of hiring regular actors to portray the leads   Eastwood  cast the actual soldiers who confronted the terrorist â a bold move indeed and one sure to appeal to fans of âAmerican Sniper.â

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hayley Smith is Positive . Image copyright Supplied Image caption  Hayley Smith  lost  her  job when  she  told  her  employer about  her  depression
Hayley Smith was diagnosed with chronic depression in  her  early twenties: "I'd been bottling up quite a bit through most of my teens. Then it hit me a like a brick wall "  she  said.
 She  was so depressed  she  didn't leave the house for six months.
Things began to improve and when  she  was 23 years-old  she  got a job at a food and drink company. But  she  had weekly counselling to attend.
"Every Thursday I'd have to take the afternoon off. So I spoke to my boss. In the meeting  she  was fine with it and said 'do what you need to do' ".
But after the meeting  she  received an email being told  she  was going to be taken off  her  accounts and that  she  should think about seeking employment at a mental health charity as "they might relate".
The manager also told people in the office: "It went round. It was horrible - I felt really exposed "  she  said.
Working there for a few further months triggered  Hayley  to experience anxiety  depression and "massive trust issues".
Eventually  she  left.  She  started  her  own company in London which  she  still runs five years on: "In the long-term it's given me awareness of mental health - and the awareness to make sure I was never going to make people feel the way I was made to feel."
