The Grand Torino: Walt Kowalski

"... Oh, my god, this is very poor ... 7 teenagers are hacked ... I am doing things ... I have to live with that. Awful things "These are excerpts from Walter Kowalski, the main character of the movie Metropolis. The movie 'Great Torino' is an exciting story about the emotional struggle of anti-heroic characters of 'Walter'. Prejudice is like humanity. This rude personality has become a perfect opponent of the seedlings who live next door.

The story takes place after Wart Kowalski, a veteran of the recently dying Korean war who is alienated from his family and angry in the world. As he began to form a gang, Walter 's young neighbor Thao Vang Lor was pressured by his cousin to steal Walter' s 1972 Ford Grand Turin. Walt stopped theft with his M1 Garand rifle and then established a relationship with that boy and his family. Walt Kowalski was a sullen retired Polish-American linemaker, a veteran of the Korean War who became a widow after fifty years of marriage, became a failed Catholic. He worked in the Highland Park community in Detroit, Michigan, but previously was a working-class family of the white class, but now it is under the control of poor Asian immigrants, violence by gangs is common is. His feelings towards his married son and their families increased his isolation and separation.

Gran Torino opened at the wife's funeral of Walt Kowalksi (Eastwood). Walter Kowalski is a retired car worker and has been living in his house for decades. Walter participated in the Korean War and had to do what he bothered for over fifty years. He can not fully integrate with his two sons. After retirement, he did hardly anything, maintaining the perfect lawn in 1972, washing the Ford Gran Torino, waxing and drinking beer with a dog with a dog. Next to Walter is a family of the Mong, with two teenagers, Thao (Bee Vang) and Sue (Ahney Her). Thao is a shy shy but he is harassed by a local gang. Grand Turin is a story about Walter understanding family and finding a guardian for himself. Production of this movie is almost perfect. The only weakness is the lack of experience of a young Miao actor. Clint Eastwood does not have such a scene. This is one of his most wonderful performances.
