Eastwood does it again!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2010)

Eastwood's age doesn't stop him from making masterpieces, and he proves it by making this powerful drama, where he stars and directs, showing the world that he's still go it. One of the most emotional films I, or the whole world has ever seen. It just goes to show that age has nothing to do with pride.
Former Korean fighter Walt Kowalski observes his new Korean neighbors during his wife's funeral, and automatically hates them. Walt's life could be described as gone, for he can't cope with the fact that he's worn out, and can't reach out to his two spoiled sons. He catches one of the Koreans who moved in next door try to steal his most prized possession, his 1972 Gran Torino. He realizes the kid, named Thao, (Bee Vang) was forced into it by his trouble making cousin, who's in a Korean gang. Despite several insults and arguments, Walt conjures up a relationship with him, as they bond together into a partnership.
As usual, Eastwood gives a spectacular performance and gets extremely into his character, as well as the others. The music, also by him is not half bad. Despite Eastwood's lack of singing abilities, he still manages to get through it.
A dark tone sets itself throughout the movie, turning to disturbing scenes of depression and hate. The final scene in the movie will bring you down to tears. As for everything else, just an all out brilliant masterpiece that is well expected of Eastwood.
