    Dirty Harry

    ★★★★

    I really enjoy angry Eastwood, the bad ass who is critic with the law, but with a few words. I could say his angry face, his clenched jaw and his magnum makes the movie, but Don’s gaze is fundamental. There are three magnificent shoots that makes Dirty Harry not only a furious action/ western movie, but a terror one: the stadium’s sequence (how did Siegel film it?

I felt that I was at home, or at least, in a very peaceful place. The last sequence is a dialectic image; Is time, rythm and space and narration. What Is cinema? The las sequence of this work.
