A touching, comedic, boarish, and inspiring movie!
Clint Eastwood's is at his finest in Grand Torino. His last acting role is captivating, and sometimes outlandish. Warning - this movie is not for the racially sensitive...there are moments where Walt Kowalski (Clint's character) is obscenely boarish towards the Mung family (Asian family who lives next door to him). It's clearly obvious that Walt is a racist, disgruntled, ex Vietnam War veteran who does not take kindly to strangers. Nobody in the neighborhood likes him much, not even his own family! I was taken aback a few times at the overly exaggerated stereotypes of different races, primarily Asians, but as the story progresses I can understand why it was portrayed that way. Throughout the story Walt learns a valuble lesson in racial tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness that gives Walt the peace he desires.
