Human relations

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2018)

This movie is indeed about human relations the bad and the good ones in the American mid-west and among ethnic different people. The story is a simply one rather well shown and told but not particularly deep in psychological terms.
A widower Korean War veteran lives alone in a neighbourhood that is now inhabited only by Asians. In the house next to him there is a family whose young boy Thao is harassed and bullyed by a gang of other youg Asians. Walt Kowalski, our war veteran begins to react rudely and uncongenially to these neighbours but after an unhappy incident created by the young Thao he changes his attitude and starts a friendly relationship with Thao and his family and tries even to protect them against the gang above and takes revenge against them. His relations with his two sons are not good and he has got a cancer which puts him in a poor health state.
All this will end in a dramatic and tragic way in the end.
