I have never seen Clint this racist before, I bet Asians hate this movie.

he's in their house and says "lets go and have some more gook food"

THAT'S TERRIBLE.

I loved this movie. It's easily on my top 10 favorite movie of 2008 list. Swifty7, relax, no one is going to be offended by the racists comments in the movie. It's an important part of understanding Clint's character. The writing was brilliant. When all was said and done, his character’s actions spoke louder than his words.

He was an equal opportunity offender.

I agree with coolmilo, great movie easily in my top 2 or 3. Clint deserves some recognition here.

Really good film, easy recommendation.

Barnum · 01-04-2009, 09:27 PM

Aer we supposed to root for this guy? Watch the movie and you will. It is not what it appears in the advertisements. Very good movie and worth watching.

See also: Unforgiven, A Perfect World, Mystic River, Bridges of Madison County, the third act of Million Dollar Baby, Tightrope, Honkytonk Man, White Hunter Black Heart...Eastwood is such a great presence in American films because his work stands as counterpoint to the distilled and easy cliches of so much of the American film product.

Barnum · 01-04-2009, 09:29 PM

I think that is what is bothering many Americans these days. Where I live there are lots of Hispanic gangs so they are not liked here.

Good for Clint Eastwood to make a movie like this. I will definitely be checking this one out.

Umm it's a movie. It's his character. Haven't seen the movie but I'm pretty sure he's not like that in the end if he's protectin the family.

If you're talking about real life then you must not have seen Letters from Iwo Jima

Not yet showing at my local cinemas. Although they are screening The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. So might make do with that on the big screen until GT arrives.

I'm Asian and love this movie. I told my wife the other day to "Get me another beer Dragon Lady."

LOL!

Hey guys, check out this music video for Gran Torino. Not bad...

Check it out here.

HighlightShow · 01-06-2009, 02:49 AM

I saw it the other day, and I really enjoyed it. I like Clint Eastwood as an actor, and I thoroughly enjoyed the character he played, Walt. I also thought the ending was great and a great film as a whole.

coolmilo · 01-06-2009, 03:43 AM

I believe one of the new movie reviewers from "At the Movies" mentioned that this might be Clint's last movie in a starring role. If so that would be sad because he is continues to excel as an actor.

Mystique · 01-06-2009, 03:46 AM

Watched the movie on New Years, and man this movie rocked!

Blu-ray Fanatic · 01-06-2009, 03:53 AM

I haven't seen the movie yet but dying to pay 8.50 for it.

zoraduntov · 01-06-2009, 04:10 AM

Mike Z · 01-06-2009, 04:30 AM
