As a quasi-related side note, it was not until this movie that I noticed the uncanny resemblance between Hugh Jackman and Clint Eastwood... (note: image in link not from High Plains Drifter, but you get my point)

High Plains Drifter
I am not generally a fan of the Western, but I was told that I simply had to see this Clint Eastwood flick. After watching I get the impression that this film is not typical Clint fare - I always thought of him as the standard Good Guy, but in High Plains Drifter he is most decidedly not. He spends the entire movie messing around with the town folk, taking advantage of them while leaving his motives ambiguous. Is he just a Bad Guy, or is there more to it? I don't know, he seems pretty sadistic to me; an opinion which was formed after his first rape of the movie.

I couldn't agree more about it not being a typical Clint flick. All the while I kept thinking, 'so is this stranger in the movie really a bad guy or just bad ass?'
