Gran Torino Film Review

Gran Torino Gran Torino is an American drama picture show, released in 2008 film directed and produced by and also starring Clint Eastwood. Set in Detroit, Michigan it was the first mainstream U. S. film to quality Hmong Americans. Gran Torino was a critical and commercial success, grossing nearly $270 million worldwide and is also said to be Clint Eastwoods most successful film, however as like many films Gran Torino received some(prenominal) praise and criticism. Gran Torino tells the story of Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood), a grizzled Korean War veteran whose wife deep passed away. Walt lives alone with his dog in a Detroit, the neighborhood hes lived in for well everywhere 30 years in no longer populated as he would say sink middle class white folks, but has turned into an Asian neighborhood. A Hmong family lives next door, a grandmother, single mother and her two teenagers Thao (Bee Vang) and work on (Ahney Her).Thao is quiet and intelligent but very shy, where as Sue is very outgoing and fearless. The local Asian gang led by Thaos cousin tries to recover Thao. Thao does not have a choice because you cannot say no to a gang, they talk him into trying to fall away Walts 1972 Gran Torino, Walt Stops it from happening but Thao gets away unrecognized. Then Thao is forced by his babe and mother to work for Walt in an effort for the attempted to steal his car.The two become very come together as Walt sees the good and potential in Thao and teaches him how to be a man and clue clear of the gang. Walt vows to protect Thao, setting the stage for a showdown with the gang. Clint Eastwood is rattling great to watch in this movie, his acting throughout Gran Torino really convinces you that he is a retired old war veteran, who has seen it all and is frightened of nothing. The way he confronts trouble throughout the film is impressive especially in the one video where he comes up against three men harassing Sue on her walk.From my point of view there argo n a few camera angles portrayed throughout the scenes of the film, but there is hardly and visual effect or anything else, I think what makes this movie a good hit is Clint Eastwoods attitude showed in his acting and the rest of the actors as well, and yes of course during the film Walt is very racists and says lots of different ethnic comments but the point is, well the point that I noticed was that Walt starts to look past and see the people for who they really are not just look at their race or where they come from.This movie is correct for Clint Eastwood fans or young adults and older, I wouldnt really say it is for teenagers because they might not fully generalise the film and just think that Walt is a grumpy old man who just gets fired up over nothing. I rate it a 4 out of 5.
