The Softer Side Of Eastwood - Gran Torino

By: Patrick Daniels

Home | Arts-and-Entertainment | Movies-TV

WOW is about all you can say about this 78 year old actor. He has now achieved that pinnacle that most can only dream about attaining. Best known for his role as Dirty Harry, Eastwood gives the performance of a lifetime in Grand Torino.

An incredibly moving story about the relationship between character Walt Kowalski (Eastwood), a retired military veteran, no nonsense kind of guy, who is a widower and wants to live out the rest of his days in peace and without interference from outsiders and Thao, a young Hmong teen who lives next door, and steals his Grand Torino as part of a gang initiation. In an attempt to pay back his debt, Thao shadows Walt in an attempt to learn to become a real man.

While forming this relationship the two begin to learn from each other and Wealth begins to grow more tolerant to The culture as Thao becomes more responsible for his actions. Although it is your basic foe to friends tale the acting is incredible and Eastwood gives a serious performance that is unintentionally humorous at times.

The casting in this film is extremely interesting, because honestly I think that it is the first time that I have seen Clint Eastwood act with a group of amateurs including a group of real gang members, truly adding to the flavor of this film. I also very much enjoyed seeing him play a character his own age, instead of the younger characters that he tends to portray.

Despite the low budget and filming in between Eastwood's filming of the Changeling, it was an impressive and notable performance by all. Out of all Eastwood film Gran Torino is honestly my favorite, thus far. The complex, powerful and tender storyline shows us a side of the actor that no one has seen before. It is a incredible film that both Eastwood fans and fans that enjoy a movie that will have you wrapped up in the characters.
