The thing about Clint Eastwood vs an ordinary director is that there are certain aspects about his directing (very story oriented, no SPX), production (his own company), production crew (same crew OVER and OVER again), and then when he stars in the movies he uses specific themes that are replayed OVER and OVER again.

People seem to forget, that before there was Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment or James Cameron's Lightstrom....there was Clint Eastwood's production company called The Malpaso Company......Eastwood is a legend not just for the acting part of his resume, but everything that goes on behind it to make it a Clint Eastwood movie.
