Movie Review - The Mule
Clint, how do you do it? Year after year, for how many years now? 50? 60? Do you ever get tired? Is it ever hard to drag yourself out of bed and face the cameras? I ask these questions because after seeing The Mule, I have to accept the fact that you are not just human, but superhuman. To not only produce, but to direct this magnificent piece of work, no mortal man could do that at the age of 88. For that reason alone you should be rewarded with a Best Actor nod from the awards community.
The movie was a very good flick. It was even paced, well written, and of course well directed. We got to know Earl fairly well, but not any of the other characters...but you know, we really didn't need to. This was all about Earl.
We did get a heavy dose of 'family commitment', but that's what gave the movie its backbone. Watching Earl as he drove around the country wasn't going to make for a good story. By putting Earl's occupation aside and looking at the man, not the mule -- that's what made the movie.
So get some rest Clint; I think it's going to be a busy awards season for you.
