'Richard Jewell', Eastwood's obese hero

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 14 - 'Richard Jewell', an overweight thirty-year-old who still lives with his mother and considers himself a tutor of the law even if he mostly carries out small surveillance jobs, is the unpublished hero of the latest ClintEastwood film. A funny, childish, inadequate hero, but to whom he immediately suffers. Zealous soldier full of clumsy and useless certainties, Richard (Paul Walter Hauser) considers his main mission to protect others at all costs. In short, he is a real patriot: during the 1996 Olympics he was the first to raise the alarm when he discovered a suspicious backpack abandoned under a bench. One thing that limited the damage of the attack of 27 July at the Centennial Olympic Park and Cherese Richard Jewell, in spite of himself, the hero who had always dreamed of being in addition to the pride of the protective mother (Khaty Bates, the only one of this great film to be nominated for an Oscar). A celebrity, his, who as seen in the Eastwood movie in theaters since January 16 with Warner, will last a short time to turn over in a nightmare. (HANDLE).
