Walt Kowalski, an iron-willed and inflexible Korean War veteran living in a changing world, is forced by his immigrant neighbors to confront his long-held prejudices.
A beautiful movie of one of the most remarkable, decorated and dedicated actors in Hollywood.
Grand Torino is about one man, Walt Kowalski. A bitter old man, a veteran from the Korean War. The war made him cold and he takes it out on his own family who see him as a nuisance. When a new Asian family comes to live in the house next door he slowly makes new friends with them. But that new friendship is put to the test when a violent gang attacks them. Walt Kowalski is faced with a difficult question on how to handle that threat.
Grand Torino is Clint Eastwood his final acting movie, and boy what a movie it is. Even though he was 78 at the time of this movie he played as the main hero and directed it. It is a masterpiece. It is an fitting end to an acting career of more than 5 decades.
