Clint Eastwood is still an amazing filmmaker who's age can't stop him.

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2014)

Clint Eastwood is a legendary filmmaker known for directing and acting. In 'Gran Tornino' we see him do that at his finest. Clint plays Walt Kowalski , a lonely and grumpy Korean War veteran who is very prejudice towards Asian people due to his experiences. Walt is haunted by his past, has s strained relationship from his sons, has a guilty conscience, lives alone, and has a recently deceased wife. He's never had a lot of luck. When a large family of Koreans move next door to him, Walt is very unhappy at first. A disruption during one night in which the teenage son of the family, Thao, tries to steal Walt's' classic Gran Torino car causes tension and a grudge. However, when local gangs try to harm the family next door, Walt pulls out a gun and scares them off saying "get off my lawn." The family praises him, and Walt soon finds friendship with the family, which leads to further problems. Clint Eastwood does a fine job of directing, but his powerful performance is what really sticks out. His menacing facial expressions and grumpy, foul-mouthed attitude make his character ever so interesting. The story is also a very moving and powerful one, and is not the typical film we see every day. There's plenty of truth to it in terms of what people act like and how our lives move. The film isn't a politically correct, big statement film that makes a racial statement. It shows how redemption is a strong goal to change your life, and how judgment can prevent wonderful relationships. Every actor is superb in this film, Clint Eastwood proves old-timers can be stellar directors, and 'Gran Tornino' overall proves that lives can change even at the oldest of ages.
