Most accurate scene in this movie is when the crowd at a Kenny Rogers concert claps along to the music with absolutely appalling rhythm.

Take a drink every time they say “Richard Jewell.”

Richard Jewell

Probably my favorite from the Late-Eastwood Heroism Project, mostly because instead of focusing on the trials of law enforcement or military service or even SULLY's simple grace under fire, this is just about a culture of unending cynicism and mistrust and anger. Everyone's looking to poke holes in Richard, everyone is convinced that he's too dumb, too fat, too fucking polite to be anything other than a shifty weirdo at best, a mass-murderer at worst. Plenty of material for both sides of the Clint divide to chew on here too, including a maybe-problematic portrayal of women, a self-interested and inherently deceptive media landscape, some hypocrisy re: law enforcement, and even the prominent placement of a few Confederate flags, but I submit to you that it's all of a piece given Eastwood's career-long infatuation with subtle gradations of virtue (or lack thereof). Also Paul Walter Hauser is very good here.

Reminds me of how we treat our president

do the macarena every time they say "richard jouuul"

«В Парке столетия заложена бомба, у вас есть 30 минут»

Правдивое кино о лжи СМИ и осквернении подвига настоящего героя, который спас жизни многих людей в тот страшный день.

Невозможность правоохранительных органов найти настоящего преступника вынуждают их подозревать невиновного человека, чтобы просто замести дело побыстрее.

Из-за постоянного прессинга со стороны СМИ и полицейских, Ричард уже сам начинает подозревать себя в содеянном преступлении, но поддержка, в которой нуждается каждый человек, держит его на плаву и не даёт обществу задавить его.

Такие действия со стороны правоохранительных органов совершаются каждый день, и каждый день невиновных людей сажают в тюрьму на огромные сроки.

Хоть и действия фильма происходят в 1996-ом,но параллели можно провести и с современным миром.

Спасибо Клинту Иствуду за такое кино.

sustains this perfect middle ground between competently gripping and utterly embarassing for the entire runtime?? so three stars i guess??? idk paul walter hauser does most of the heavy looking and it was nice to see sam rockwell not playing a white supremacist for once.

American's are so weird

forrest chump

i'm always uncomfortable watching eastwood films, and this was no exception.. still great tho

Solid entertaining film with a wonderful lead performance. Tarnished after the be facr by being rather inventive with the truth

Excellent acting, great casting, good editing, ok writing, meh subplot:

This is another modern Clint Eastwood film.

Sometimes shit gets too real and this movie proves this.
I really enjoyed it

Eastwood the GOAT

Clint Eastwood is not the most stylish or groundbreaking director of his time, and his political views can be somewhat simplistic and even questionable at times. However, he still managed to pull off an interesting portrait of an ordinary man who might not take center stage in most Hollywood films. Even when the protagonist is put in an agonizing situation, you can still find humor and warmth in all of its absurdity.

Paul Walter Hauser shines in this picture.
