Gran Torino - Review


Let me paint a picture for you.

In the last scene of the movie, you see a 16 year old asian american boy driving a 1970's classic muscle car down a lake michigan highway with a 10 year old yellow lab in the passenger seat. In the background, you can hear Clint Eastwood singing a song about the aforementioned car which eventually fades over to Jamie Cullum singing.

This is the kind of randomness you can expect from this movie.

Bad: Acting, script writing, a lot of ethnic slurs, cinematography
Good: Portrayal of a crotchety old man, Representation of the prejudice of an older generation, Representation of the work ethic of an older generation, ending

In review, it's not at all what I expected, but I still liked it.
