MTLskyline Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I just saw this excellent film. It stars Clint Eastwood who plays Walt Kowalski, a proud American veteran who fought in the Korean War, and later worked manufacturing Fords. His prized possession, a 1972 Ford Gran Torino was almost stolen by one of his Hmong neighbours, a young boy named Thao. They eventually become friends, and Walt defends his neighbours on many occaisons from a local Hmong gang. I won't spoil the ending, but it's definitely worth a watch. Aside from his racism, Walt Kowalski is my kind of guy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205489/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTLskyline Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Critics here in Montréal are saying that this is one movie he should have avoid doing. Why is that? Most critics seemed to like the movie? http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gran_torino/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornello Mastrocola Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I enjoyed it. It's not one of his best but I enjoyed it. It's not Oscar worthy though that's for sure. The Wrestler much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarabundi Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 MTLskyline : autant pour moi. J'étais resté avec l'impression que les critiques ici à Montréal n'avait pas vraiment apprécier et je viens d'en réviser quelques-unes et je constate que je m'étais trompé.
