Gran Torino (Widescreen Edition)
A miserable Korean War vet, Walt Kowalski (Eastwood), sets out to reform his neighbor, a childish Hmong teenager, who attempted to steal Kowalski's prized possession: his 1972 Gran Torino.Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino, an unassuming image shot for the duration of a post-production lull on his elaborate period cut Changeling, was quietly rolled out at Christmastime 2008, whereupon it proceeded to blow gone all the Oscar-bait behemoths at the box office and win its 78-year-ancient star the very best critiques of his the theater arts profession. Each film and efficiency are consummately sly--coming on with unrepresentative simplicity, only to evolve into a business complicated, potent, and surprisingly tender. Just as Unforgiven was a tragic reflection on Eastwood's legacy in the Western genre, Gran Torino caps and eloquently critiques the urban heritage of Dirty Harry and his violent brethren. And on top of that, the show becomes a savvy meditation on America in a particular historical moment, ethnically, economically, spiritually. Call
