Role models for twilight years
In The Mule, a recent film produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, now 88, he plays the lead role as a grumpy old man who goes out kicking. It leaves you wondering whether the film doesn’t reflect a lot of Eastwood’s own reality, and possibly that of a lot of the twilight generation, as it provides a window on “limited lifespan” living, which in this case includes not giving a damn about just about everything, to the point of his casual acceptance of corruption.
The soundtrack to the film is a country and western song by Toby Keith
