Clint Eastwood has always been known for his tough
characters with his really deep gruff voice. It is with these characters
ranging from his westerns to his more modern character portrayals. These
characters are so endearing to the audience because these are characters of
action and realism that don’t need to rely on having drama to develop their
character but already have traits that are already defined like acting on their
own instincts to survive. This message is backed up by even Talloc’s famous
quote in The Good The Bad and The Ugly, “When you need to shoot, shoot don’t
talk” this line right here perfectly describes Clint Eastwoods character he
doesn't waste time with exposition he just reacts to the situation .
Always Prepared...
Another appealing factor to these characters is that they
themselves are experienced so one of the factors that can be skipped over while
telling their story is how they developed their skills. Another creation of
this archetype of hero is the hero is willing to put whoever is in his way
through physical / psychological trauma. This can be seen in The Good The and
The Ugly it can also be seen in Dirty Harry with his famous “Do you feel lucky
punk?” quote. This factor has even continued on into even modern films like
Taken where Liam Neeson is willing to subjugate a man he’s captured to electric
torture to get the information on where his daughter is.
A Good Form of Intimidation...
I personally have always loved these kind of characters just
because of how real and down to earth they are the world itself isn't black and
white it’s very grey.
