Clint Eastwood as Preacher in Pale Rider
The Big Picture In two of his most outstanding Western flicks, Clint Eastwood manages to not only traverse the supernatural but also colorfully illustrate his growth as both a star and a filmmaker. In High Plains Drifter, he is a vengeful spirit looking to unleash the fires of hell itself. In Pale Rider, he is the embodiment of light, an angel of sorts sent by God himself to quell man's insatiable greed.

Clint Eastwood's Movies Don't Always Please Critics Close There is no doubt that Clint Eastwood is one of if not the biggest names not only in the Western genre but in American cinema as a whole. Interestingly enough, despite his status, he wasn't always on the receiving end of acclaim. Some critics were dismissive of his one-dimensional acting, the political ideologies affiliated with his work, and an affinity with meaningless violence in the name of masculinity.
With 'Pale Rider,' Clint Eastwood Reinvents Himself One could easily surmise that High Plains Drifter is a direct response to the criticism of his ultra-violence and ability to only play the man with a cigarillo, or other versions of it. Naturally, the main character is a cigarillo-smoking stranger, who literally and figuratively paints the entire town red.
