Gran Torino was a doorway for other races to view that no matter where we are, where we come from, how we live, there is and always going to be a huge negative force field that will bring everyone down. There will always be a positive and negative outlook to all films, this film does it because finally some people can stop asking Hmong people “What is a Hu-Mong?” I do agree that the Hmong people in the film could have contributed to actually acting with real depth. I could have helped out in creating some of the Hmong dialogue, but oh well… what is done is done. However, overall, this film does help break down the discrimination and knock down some doors for the underdogs who people has never heard of before.

Jmonnnney,
You’re pretty ignorant to gang culture if you don’t believe that they are often segregated by ethnicity and race, also forming the basis for rivalries. I’d love to see you in Detroit telling a gang made up of Mexican-Americans to stop being so stereotypical, as they let out some aggression.

Gran Torino was not a good movie, every supporting player was based upon horrible stereotypes: the asian gang in the honda, the mexican gang that didn’t like the asian gang, the group of black guys standing on the corner because of course they had nothing better to do than try to mess with the asian girl, only for her to be saved by, oh gosh, the great racist who’ll give his life for the love of some people he had just called every horible name in the book. Besides the story the acting was bad by every supporting player who even managed to ham the already hammed up dialogue. And clint, who just grunted his way through trying to be the old badass he used to be. I was very dissapointed by this one.

I saw this film lastnight. It is simple, surprising, yet complex and great. It accurately reflects the culture I’m from, in Wisconsin. My dad is like Clint, a Korean War vet too. This movie could happen. Hats off to Clint Eastwood again, he is a master at the art of film and telling compelling stories.

This is classic Eastwood at his finest. This movie would never be made with out Eastwood both starring in it and producing it. Having a dad who served in Korea, it was like they followed him around for the charter of Walt. This hits the nail head on about racism in the USA. From “spooks” to “Fish heads” to Dagos’” no one is left alone. The acting of the support cast, which they are all pretty new to making films, is ok, Clint really carried them well. The question i have is, What will be Spike Lees’ response to a movie legend that had the only “white” role in the majority of the movie? With the exception of the roles of his family, Clint was the only white actor surrounded by a cast of Hmong Vietnamese actors and actresses. This movie was very intense, flat out halirous at times and the ending was bitter sweet. Gran Torino will be added to my DVD collection and worth a second viewing while in the theatre.

This is another great movie by Mr. Eastwood and it shows not only the clashes of culture in the USA today, but also the America we are losing. This movie is funny, it’s riveting, it’s bitter sweet. Some of the young actors’ dialog didn’t quite hit their mark, but they portrayed their characters well. Eastwood doing what he does best….again. GO SEE IT!
