I have to wonder if Lee has even seen the Eastwood films he’s criticizing. As a previous post points out, one focused on a particular group of soldiers, none of whom was African-American, historically; the other film focused on the Japanese, with the American troops far in the background — in effect, for the movie’s purposes, the antagonists. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.
