Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the work of Clint Eastwood as a director and as an actor, using the concepts of classic and post-classical, according to definitions by David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson and Janet Staiger, and the theory of the Psychological Gesture of of the Russian Michael Checkhov. To think of Eastwood as director and actor, the concepts of post-classical and the Psychological Gesture, and of we will study opening sequences from the films Play Misty for Me (1971), his first work as a director and The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976). We base the criterion of analyzing the opening scenes as revealing and significant to analyze the style of a filmmaker, on Jacques Aumont and Michel Marie's seminal work Film Analysis (2010).
