Today, what many fans consider to be the best film by and starring Clint Eastwood is on TV. No, this is not a western from the Dollar Trilogy of yesteryear, but a much more current film: Gran Torino is on TV on Sunday and is more than worth watching over and over again.
TV tip from and with Clint Eastwood: That’s what Gran Torino is about
Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) loves to sit on his porch and drink beer. But the grumpy, old, white man finds this less and less fun because he has problems with the changes in his neighborhood. Then someone wants to steal his car! But this is not just any carbut the only thing Walt really loves: his Gran Torino.
Walt finds out who was responsible and eventually manages to overcome his own racism. He helps the boy next door, Thao (an unlikely pair of superlatives!) and is one of the few in his neighbourhood to stand up against the drug-dealing gangs in the areaThis brings him a lot of opposition, but also a lot of respect.
Gran Torino is Clint Eastwood’s best film and it just keeps getting better
Clint Eastwood shook up the Western genre in his younger years. But even today he is still going strong and continues to make films even in his old age. Gran Torino is one of them, in which he himself not only played the leading role, but also directed has.
Of all Clint Eastwood’s directorial works, Gran Torino in the average Moviepilot ratings to the highest value. It has a solid 8, which is really impressive. Anyone who sees the film will understand this immediately. Here, an incredibly grumpy anti-hero meets a lot of heart, drama and humor. But that’s not all: the acting is above reproach.
Would you rather watch Westerns instead, then you should probably stick to Kevin Costner and his Yellowstone universe or the Horizon films. But at the moment it looks as if the future of the Yellowstone universe could be in danger. A new statement is currently completely confusing many fans.
