Nice take on Clint Eastwood’s Outlaw Josey Wales, one of my personal favorites and a true modern classic of modern film making:

As much as I like Clint Eastwood’s work in general, he’s always been a strange mix of ultra-liberal diversity ideology and conservative individualism. Somehow he blends the two together and still manages to produce great movies.
The author points out that nowadays, with Wokism taking over the country, a Josey Wales could never be made. But that's exactly what they want, anything that even smacks of individuality, freedom of expression or true freedom must be suppressed.
The Outlaw Josey Wales: A Symphony (Jerry Fielding, 1976)
The End of The Outlaw Josey Wales, with the Great John Vernon
Considering Eastwood's career, which includes films like Dirty Harry, how do you explain something as insipid as Gran Torino? -- even though for years I had not been going to movies, I let someone talk me into seeing it with them, and left the theater in disbelief.
