Eastwood's latest masterpiece

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2009)

Over the past 5 decades Clint Eastwood has been an icon in film making , creating wonderful, entertaining films mostly with a greater ,deeper message .
Starting from the great fun of the good the bad and the ugly as an actor , and a male icon , and ending with the world war II epic Letters from Iwo Jima as a tremendous director.
Now at 78, and closing on 79, Clint successfully and brilliantly directed Gran Torino, his latest and one of his best films in the last two decades . Gran Torino , revolves around an old man Walter Kowalski who suffers with his life after the death of his longtime wife , Walt (the name he doesn't like to be called with) tries to make a man of a shy unsocial , and slightly disturbed Hmong teenager (Tao) who is indirectly forced to steal his Gran Torino by his gangster cousins.
As always Eastwood almost perfectly directed the screenplay , which contains a balanced amount of comedy and tragedy spread carefully during the whole events of the movie . Clint made a bunch of brilliant scenes and I very much like the two scene where he deliberately draws his hand as a fake gun , the last scene of Walt's death was altogether strong , tragic , and joyful for justice has been done by the his sacrifice which lead to the arrest of the Hmong gangsters .
Clint made a powerful , funny , and emotional performance , which I truthfully think should at least get an Academy Award nomination .
Finally I probably should end my review with the a praise of the skillfully composed , astonishingly written , gently performed soundtrack song named the same the movie Gran Torino , which was the icing on the cake .
