He seems more libertarian than Marion Morrison’s frenzied, unhinged, right wing nutball views. He’s quieter, less blustery, and genuinely talented. Marion just played himself. He did it for so long they eventually gave him an Oscar for it, maybe hoping he would just go away.

I can’t imagine a situation in which Eastwood would have to be physically restrained from beating up a woman who said something he didn’t like.
