Gran Torino

Movie 🎥 Review: "Gran Torino". Critics rated it 80% and the users a 93%

Every chance I get to watch this movie I take it.   Directed and produced by Clint Eastwood in 2008 this movie is about an unlikely friendship between a bigoted Korean war vet (Eastwood) and an Asian boy (Bee Vang) neighbor who tries to steal Eastwood's car.

This is a classic Eastwood film as he takes real life feelings and experiences and brings them to life on the big screen in a manner for all to relate.

This is probably my 4th time watching this movie. For me when it comes around it's one of those movies I can't pass up.

For me Clint Eastwood is an amazing director, one that I personally can relate to. I've been following this man on TV and movies ever since he played Rowdy Yates in the TV show named "Rawhide" back in 1959 (yes I'm that old lol).

I've never not liked any TV show or film he was in and especially any film he directed.
