Gran Torino

Has anyone seen this yet?

If you're sensitive or offend by racial slurs, ethnic stereotypes, and Clint Eastwood then I urge to never watch this movie. And they pick on EVERYBODY! But if you can get past those issues and want to see Clint Eastwood give an amazing performance...then run to the theater now.

So I don't ruin it for anyone, all I will say is that I laughed, cringed, and shed a tear (ummm...I had something in my eye).

My favorite quote from the movie was ,"We used to stack F%#@! like you 5 feet high in Korea and use ya for sandbags." It was a pretty good movie. Unfortunately alot of the racial slurs were just over the top to the point of comedy. I am sure people who saw it in the theater probably thought the same....

I happened to see it last night.
It is a very good movie.
The point is to hate this guy because of his bigotry, but to love him
because of his true heart. In the long run, you feel sorry for him.
The audience did laugh at many of the over the top slurs. If they weren't so over the top you wouldn't feel so sorry for him.

See it, and judge for yourself.

Clint has always been able to pull this off...Witness "Heartbreak Ridge" for reference...I'm looking forward to seeing it...Ben

I couldn't agree with you more.

I also enjoyed the playful banter between Sue and Walt.

I've been patiently waiting to see this since I first caught a glimpse of the reviews from the NY and LA release.

On Christmas Day, my wife and I went to see it with the family. I have four kids 19 - 23. It is rare that we watch a movie where EVERYONE loved it. This was that kind of movie. Clint knows how to pick 'em to act in.

Awesome movie. One of the best I have seen in a while.

I thought it was a good movie and I was not expecting the ending, I did like the expression on his grand daughters face at the end.

I love that movie....

I really liked this movie.

I've come to expect quality from Clint Eastwood productions, and he certainly delivers this time.
