CLASSIC

Today's movie was Clint Eastwood's

Gran Torino (2008)

I liked this a lot more than I expected to, mostly because of the good humor tucked into it here and there.

It is not a predictable film even though the theme of the "melting pot" is as old as America.

The hard ass America-firster gets to know some strongly ethnically foreign people and there you are.

But in this case it is not that simple. New discoveries are won at high costs.

Eastwood is an icon and yet he is able to make films that defy his previous personna. On the other hand, the film depends on our belief that the old Clint will rise again. It adds to the tension.

Very well done.

I will give it a place in the Eastwood fest and that means it gets a 4 out of Netflix5.
