Cry Macho, Clint Eastwood’s farewell to the camera
Clint Eastwood’s penultimate film Cry Machohas just been added to Netflix, offering a unique opportunity to see the movie icon in what could be his last on-screen role. At 91, the legendary actor and director delivers a touching performance, full of sobriety and nostalgia, in a film that combines introspection and adventure. If this film really marks his farewell to cinema as an actor, Cry Macho, based on the novel of the same name by N. Richard Nashest, a touching and symbolic work, which seems to close a monumental chapter in the history of Hollywood.
In Cry MachoClint Eastwood plays Mike Milo, a former rodeo champion turned horse breeder, destroyed by the trials of life. One day he reluctantly accepts an unusual mission: cross the border into Mexico to find the son of a former chief and bring him back to the United States. What should have been a simple journey turns into an initiatory journey where two mistreated beings learn from each other, in a world where the violence and harshness of life mix with moments of tenderness and redemption.
Eastwood, in the role of a worn out but resistant old cowboy, reminds us of the characters that have marked his career: men marked by time and trials, in search of inner peace. But Cry Macho it is not a simple western; is a bittersweet reflection on aging, moral strength and redemption. Mike Milo, like Eastwood himself, carries within himself all the complexity of an eventful life, between regrets and wisdom. This journey into the heart of the Mexican lands takes on the aspect of a farewell journey, a final journey that seems to close the circle for this Hollywood legend.
