Recently, Eastwood sat down in a rare reflection of his career where he addressed some of his not-so-well received movies that are mixed in with his legacy. “After you get a few films that are reasonably successful, people kind of stick with you. But if you’re grinding out turkeys, they don’t stick with you.” The Hollywood legend continued, “That would be up to them, to the audiences, to answer. Up to the people on the outside. I just kind of go along. I consider this, again, emotional. It comes upon you. You have a story, you make a movie of it. You have to just go for it. If you think too much about how it happened you might ruin it. I go back and look at films I’ve made, and I could easily ask, ‘Why the heck did I make this?’ I don’t remember! It might have been a long time ago…” Then, he concludes, “I’m sure I’ve had disappointments. If I did, I wouldn’t dwell on them.”
