After a Long time after downloading, I saw this movie yesterday and was Blown away by Clint Eastwood. Both Direction and acting.
He plays an angry, cranky old man, Walt Kowalski, who is a patriot and is a Korean war survivor.
Walt, an old school war veteran, full of prejudice that has just lost his beloved wife Dorothy who doesn't have a good relationship with His sons. Walt dislikes the church priest and priest's idea about life and death and believes that he's just a 27 year old over educated virgin. It looks like Walt dislikes almost everybody, His sons, neighbors, priest, except for his dog Daisy and his car, the Gran torino.
Set in a Hmong neighborhood of Michigan, Walt is grumpy about his Hmong neighbors. It looks like Walt is suffering form some kind of a terminal disease but is not disclosed. When his teenage neighbor Thao tries to steal his most valued procession Ford Gran torino, Walt tries to straighten him out. Thao, a confused teenager, who's been forced to steal Gran torino by not so good Hmong Cousins. After this incident, Thao's traditional family feels ashamed and offers gifts to Walt , much to his irritation. Later, Walt also saves Thao's Elder sister Sue from a negro gang. Much to displeasure of Walt, the Hmong family, especially Sue and Thao starts to respect Walt for his goodwill. Walt takes Thao under his watchful eye and gets him a Job at a construction company. When the bad Hmong Cousins tries to trouble Thao, Walt beats up one of the guys. Hmong cousins then Disturb the neighborhood and attack Sue and Sue's House. After this, Walt decides to take an ultimate attitude.
A must watch for Clint Eastwood fans. He OWNS the Movie...
I'll give 4/5.
