gran torino review

gran torino is an excellent film. and, it really does seem to be the role that clint eastwood was made to play. however, i could have done without hearing him sing the closing song.

i don't want to go into a lot of details or really retell you the movie. you need to go and see it. enjoy the story. enjoy the characters.

what's got me thinking is the role that race, stereotype and language play in the film. eastwood plays a crotchety old guy. he frequently uses racial slurs. now, i'm an adult, and hear all sorts of language. i'm not offended by the language. it's just odd to hear people chuckle and seem to enjoy the slurs. i don't expect them to gasp or storm out (in fact i would make fun of them for doing that). just don't seem to enjoy them so much please.
