Gran Torino


Gran Torino, Another neat film from Clint Eastwood. Well, I think this movie deserves to enjoy the play for you lovers of action. The film's title is taken from a car type the name of output in 1972 is owned by Mr. Kowaltzky (Clint Eastwood), where from that car "Gran Torino" is told.

Told Mr. Kowaltzky living alone after his wife left to die by. Mrs. Kowaltzky, American veterans, a lonely old man, and continue to bear the burden due to his experiences following the Korean War. All family members were away from the life of Mr. Kowaltzky.

But neighbors who thought Mr. Kowaltzky, a family of Hmong, Vietnamese, can change lives Mr. Initially Kowaltzky old man is not sympathetic to these families because of cultural differences.

The story begins developing one Hmong family's son, Thao, wanted to steal a car pet Mr. Kowaltzky, Gran Torino. It turned out that the theft attempt is a hazing that must be followed by Thao so he could be accepted by the gang members who chaired older cousin Thao.

The film is not only trying to show the mere entertainment, but what can I capture from the film is where the United States population consists of various ethnic groups, ranging from Asia to Africa. Looks like Clint Eastwood wanted to give a message to the American people to accept their presence, no longer occur racism.
