Gran Torino

Eastwood sen kuin vain paranee vanhetessaan. Muistan kun lapsena katseltiin salaa likaisia Harryja, koska ne olivat sen verran välivaltaisia. Tosin siinä vaiheessa kun ne saapuivat videolle oli elokuvalautakunta silponut ne puoli tuintia lyhemmiksi videoversioiksi. Gran Torinossa tuntuu olevan kaikki kohdallaa. Tarina on hauska, uskottava ja koskettavakin. Hieno tarina lähes mahdottomasta yhtälöstä, joka kasvaa elämää suuremmaksi ystävyydeksi. Ihminen voi vanhanakin oppia uusista ystävistä ja löytää uudenlaisen suvaitsevaisuuden, joka ennen tuntui käytännössä mahdottomalta. Clint ohjaa itseään vuosien tuomalla ammattitaidolla. Clint on itse säveltänyt musiikin elokuvaan ja on lisäksi ollut tuottajana. Monilahjakkuutta, jota moni nykypäivän näyttelijä voi vain kateellisena seurata vierestä. Upea elokuva, voin suositella kaikille.

Walt Kowalski is a widower who holds onto his prejudices despite the changes in his Michigan neighborhood and the world around him. Kowalski is a grumpy, tough-minded, unhappy old man who can’t get along with either his kids or his neighbors. He is a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1972 Gran Torino he keeps in mint condition. When his neighbor Thao, a young Hmong teenager under pressure from his gang member cousin, tries to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Thao’s family, Kowalski is soon taking steps to protect them from the gangs that infest their neighborhood.

Eastwood as it only gets better with age. I remember when I watched as a child secretly dirty Harryja, because they were so competent intermediate. However, by the time they arrived the video was film board silponut them with a tuintia lyhemmiksi videoversioiksi. Gran Torino seems to be all right. The story is funny, believable and touching. Great story almost impossible equation, which grows larger than life friendship. A person can learn in age, new friends and find a new kind of tolerance, which before seemed virtually impossible. Clint control over themselves by bringing in a professional manner. Clint is a self-composed music for film, and has also been a producer. Multi-Talent, which many of today’s actors can only enviously follow next. Great movie, I can recommend to everyone.
