Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Oh Clint ,I am shocked

Do any of you REMEMBER that other guy on here who USED TO go full caps on RANDOM words? The guy seemed a little LOONY, wonder what happened to HIM?

Reeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

movie was remade in 2017 , in the original Clint 'Union soldier' does a lot more than kissing. great movie

btw , 1971 was the best year for great movies , take a look. how many have you seen?

Wow. Didn't go completely through the list, but just up to H, I saw lots of them, and they were memorable. Amazing for one year.

That is really creepy. A man and a 12 year old girl. That is an outtake from "The Beguiled?"

The adult star of that film was Geraldine Page. Her son is Tony Torn and he is my part time neighbor up here in the mountains. He usually lives in New York.
When that film was made Geraldine took Tony down there with her, he was about 7 years old. He just hung around the set during the day and during coffee breaks would sit around and chit chat with Clint Eastwood.

Eastwood didn't have many morals to have even played this part. The producers had none to have thought it up either. Most from hollywood have sick twisted minds.

The movie was based on 1862, you think men didn't marry young girls back then? Down south in 1865 16 was over the hill, times change. NThe original was a good movie and Clint was a good actor even in those days.

The whole fuggin' movie was weird.

Did y'all forget that the woman in charge of the girls home in the movie was still mourning her dead brother, and their incestuous relationship?

It's Hollywood, folks.

Don't confuse the role with the person... Hell my wife does that. She'll say she isn't watching a movie because so and so is in it. Why, Dear? "Because Bruce Dern shot John Wayne."

Umm.... okay...

That's great coming from Mr."I wanna touch and kiss pretty dolly"....

Try again.

Beguiled and Play Misty for me ,are about the only 2 Eastwood movie's i just never liked ,kinda like The Searchers the only John Wayne movie i never liked ,and i have tried to like them

Who cares about 1862 with what's going on now. The child sex trade wasn't even going on then like it is now. Most everything that comes out of hollywood is never meant to be a good influence on anyone. To say they were just telling it like it was during that time seems to invite more perversion.

It most assuredly was going on.

You think that is a recent development?

History is your friend.

John W. warned Bruce what the outcome would be and he was right. Took a long time for Dern to get another part and even then not anything like his early years.

I think it would be illegal to film that scene today, a grown man kissing a 12 year old girl on the mouth.

Especially since he was a better actor than John! Strange how that works!

Yes it was going on then. I know that. It's even worse now. My point is how much better off everyone would be if some decency was promoted. I haven't watched this movie but I imagine all it does is glorify Eastwood's character and whatever happens is okay because it's the narrative of the script. It's well known that hollywood has been using it's influence for years to promote anything and everything the left wants including communism, same sex marriage and the list goes on and on. I'd also guess many of them are eye ball deep in abusing children and anyone else they want. Just look at what Weinstein had been doing for years and who his buddies are. The witch clinton was one of his friends then just look at who Eastwood supported as president this last time. It's as bad as kids having roll models like they do in the high paid athletes. But to your point, yes history is our friend. By all means.

This movie doesn't glorify Eastwood's character. The girls at the school get riled up and they murder Eastwood. Poison him with poison mushrooms.
This is one creepy movie I can't stand to watch it.

Not seen the movie, but a neighbor once loaned me a book composed solely of interviews with ladies that came to Oregon in the mid-1800's via wagon or ship. Near all were married between 13-15 yrs, and those remaining single into their late teens deemed unsuitable old maids.

Child brides have been the norm for older men for several thousand years throughout history and in every country. At the time, 1862, the Age of Consent in a number of states was 13. Back in those days, the old adage "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed," held sway.

Today, the child sex trade is in full bloom, and not just in Hollywood. It's rampant all over the world. It is tragic for the children, but it exists.
