what opposing ideaologies do harry and the scorpio killer represents? why is harry calahan both a likable and unlikable character? how does the film question the effectiveness of the law? what does the ending signify? thank you so much :)

Been a long time since I have seen that movie, but I can answer a couple of those questions.

Harry is unlikable because hes a bit of a maverick. If he doesn't like what he is told to do he will be lippy and a smart ass. And go and do

Looking back at Dirty Harry

23.09.11

&Rsquo;s plot reads like a 70s right-winger’s worst nightmare - or darkest fantasy. In a San Francisco presided over by maverick cop Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood), a deranged killer called Scorpio is murdering and kidnapping residents apparently at random. With casualties mounting up, and the city’s mayor more interested in paying Scorpio off with ransom money than putting a stop to his murderous exploits, Callahan ultimately concludes that bullets are the best solution to the problem.

Scorpio is modelled on a real-life series of killings that occurred in the late 60s; the Zodiac, as newspapers dubbed him, was never caught, and would later become the subject of David Fincher’s film of the same name. Zodiac was well known for his habit of sending taunting letters to the police, and in one of these, Zodiac threatened to hijack a school bus - something Scorpio eventually acts out in Dirty Harry. (“Come on, sing everyone!” Scorpio shrieks to a group of terrified school kids, in one of the film’s blackly comic moments. “Sing or I'll go home and kill all your mommies!”)
