Clint Eastwood to President Obama: Make My Day
Actor Clint Eastwood made a surprise speech at the Republican National Convention last night. It was memorable, ending with Eastwood leading the crowd in a loud “Make My Day” shout.
What precisely was Clint telling the President with the reference to that iconic movie line? The videos above show a scene in which Eastwood’s character, Detective “Dirty” Harry Callahan, uses the “Make My Day” line. One video just shows the line. The other video is a lengthier clip and shows the African American man that Callahan is pointing the gun at. One comment to the second video states: “i like how all the people he shoots are black.”
Is the Eastwood reference a more subtle reference to the point that the Facebook “ROPE” posting with a picture of the President?
