Grumpy Old Car

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2019)

'Gran Torino' is probably the best (modern) movie about cars. Yeah, take that you obnoxious and loud 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise. 1972 Ford Gran Torino is one fabulous car that is one of the stars of the movie and also serves as a metaphor for the good old days in Walt Kowalski's (Clint Eastwood) life. 'Gran Torino' is not a genre movie. It is not a crime story or an action film or the revenge tale, and not even proper drama or comedy. It is a simple straightforward movie that just tells the stories of its main characters and doesn't ad any agenda into the mix. Deeply moving film with a simple (but not shallow) story and complex characters.
