The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Directed by Sergio Leone

This being my first encounter with Clint Eastwood, after hearing so much about his talent and legacy, I am completely impressed. His confidence and prowess through facial expressions and is undeniable and vexatious. He is clearly an audacious actor and this shows through in all of his characters. Eastwood has the ability to make an audience wiggle uncomfortably in their seats just by using an expressionless stare. You can tell through his eyebrow movements paired with his evil grimace that this is a man that gets what he wants (as a character). Another thing of note is his stature and walking pace. He is very slow and methodical with his movements, yet, when he must be quick and reactive, he can move at breakneck speed.
Once again this is my first time personally watching Clint Eastwood act, despite multiple prodding from my grandfather who swears by the quality of westerns. Now I can finally say I have watched one of his favorites and actually appreciate the brilliant acting in the film.
