Gran Torino

Been meaning to watch the movie for a while and put it at the top of my Netflix que after I finished True Blood, season one.

IMO, a good movie for Clint Eastwood to end his acting career. I recommend it. I can write great things about his performance and how it ties into his Dirty Harry movies but it's a worthwhile watch.

Dude, my dad was just as bad but he never used a racial slur..he just really....really hated the Japanese. I just cleaned the Arasaka Type 99 rifle he brought back from WWII. He was a navy corpsman that served on Tarawa and Iwo Jima. My father was a flawed man but a better man than I will ever be...

fucked up ending

I totally "got" the ending...the Jesus crucifiction pose was awesome.

I also liked the confession scene..I pay my taxes..I don't cheat and I work hard. I've been surpassed by people that "cheat" but I was instilled with the duty and hard work ethic...

I must admit I believe in his opinion on religion...


spoiler alert...if you haven't watched the movie...don't watch this...

I have the movie. What I don't undertand about the movie is,

1) who is the main boy's father?
2) who dropped off the girl who was raped? she was dropped off at home by a car that wasn't previously seen in the movie.
3) during the party at the asian families house there was a scene with an older woman complaining about not having a husband for her daughter. Then a middle aged man pointed at the main boy and said, how about him? The woman says look at him, he's not a man, he's a boy washing dishes. My question here is, who was the man that pointed out the boy? was that his father?

1) who is the main boy's father? They don't ever show
2) who dropped off the girl who was raped? she was dropped off at home by a car that wasn't previously seen in the movie. They tell the story as her own cousins clan, and leave loose ends around it. There was even people at his house that weren't in it earlier.

Great movie. Yum Yum was funny. The racism was equally doled out and humorous because of the situation. He reminded me of a friend of mine who had also served during Korea.
