Clint Eastwood's Iconic Status Lives On!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2008)

Clint Eastwood (as we all know) is nothing short of iconic. The director/actor has taken us on some wild rides in the past, and "Gran Torino" marks yet another gem of a movie. Any fans of The Man With No Name from The Dollars Trilogy and/or Dirty Harry will love it. Eastwood's the only 78 year old man I know that can still capture the screen so crisply after 50 something years of acting and 30 something years of directing under his belt. The film itself explores themes regarding racism, ageism, comradeship, and growing old with a haunted past. The story reinforces the importance of loving thy neighbor. I won't give ANYTHING away because it's your job to go see it!!!
