EASTWOOD PROVIDES THERAPY FOR WAR HEROES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:30 pm

Movie mogul CLINT EASTWOOD became an unlikely therapist for US troops left scarred by World War II as he researched his new war film FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS.
The Oscar winner spent hours chatting with real-life war heroes in a bid to make sure every aspect of his new film was as authentic as possible.
And some of the soldiers used the occasion to open up about their horrific war memories for the first time.
Eastwood says, "The ones I talked to have only recently started to talk - 55, 60 years after the fact.
"I talked to a (marine)… and he said he found it cathartic to talk about it after all these years.
"But he’d get terribly emotional revisiting it, the thought of it all - the mayhem, the smell of death, people you’ve known and liked blown up right beside you."
