Gran Torino (starring Clint Eastwood) is one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen.
It reflects the realities of life as it does the thoughts of a man who wants to be left alone at the same time is interested in the world around him. It shows how he fights against the system as well as tries to fit into it.
The movie starts quite normally but then as new characters enter the story we see how the central character (Clint Eastwood) reacts to the changes (sometimes positively sometimes negatively).
As the central character grows so does the secondary character of Thao.
The end of the movie has a strange duality to it. It is unique at the same time follows an age old theme.The only issue I have with the movie is the very last scene where the story goes down the well travelled path right after giving the audience a very different look at things.
Confused? Good. Won’t give out more details. Go watch the movie!
This is a battle that you might be fighting 20, 30 or even 40 years down the line!
Clint Eastwood is as usual amazing!
