This thoughtful American tragedy touches on racism and vigilantism and is another gem in Clint Eastwood's magnificent career.

Gran Torino was an amazing film with great characters and narration! Director Clint Eastwood (Who is also the main star "Walt") made this movie really well with great camera shots and mise en scene he did this in a way that is very unique Grand Torino is a movie with guns gangs and shows a great insight in too some families who have members in street gangs!

We can see a war veteran ( From the Vietnam War ) living his every day life until a "innocent" Korean family moves in next door the movies portrays Walt at first to be a Racist character with a lot of racist terms in some scenes this racism clearly coming from his experience in the war.

This movie is focused on change and how people even with bad experiences or hatred for people can change we can see this in the movie by our main character Walt looking after the Korean family from the gang problems they have he also befriends the neighbors son almost looking after him more than the son he already has!

This movie was great everything about it I enjoyed from the camera shots to the mise en scene and the story was really good this is why I am giving the movie a 4* rating I would recommend it to anyone.
