Gran Torino Reviews
Embora Clint Eastwood esteja em frente e atrás da câmera, dirigindo a si mesmo e protagonizando a própria direção, como ele já fez diversas vezes, não poderia existir um ator melhor que ele para o papel de Walt Kowalski, uma alma dura e conturbada, atormentada pelos demônios de seu passado, mas também, no fundo, carregada de afeto e empatia. "Gran Torino" é um tocante e surpreendentemente engraçado drama sobre como velhos veteranos de guerra lidam — ou não lidam — com os traumas das situações horríveis pelas quais eles passaram, vivendo em um mundo moderno, movido pelas gerações que lhes sucessederam e por valores e princípios completamente diferentes daqueles pelos quais eles foram moldados.
A very powerful drama and performance by Master Clint himself with great script that still manages to be very entertaining.
Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é bom, mas só o Clint Eastwood salvou e melhorou o filme, as cenas são boas e deu uma melhorada no filme, e junto com as cenas do Clint Eastwood deram ao filme uma certa relevância, No final o Clint Eastwood estava na frente da casa dos bandidos e eles mataram ele, o final parecia ruim, quando a polícia prende todos eles, então Clint se sacrificou-se para prender os bandidos e ajudar sua família que nem risco de vida ocorra novamente, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme, com o final bom que deixa o filme bacana.
It is good and well done, but not incredibly interesting. It gets kind of slow.
A solid comedy drama that takes the most cartoons hey bigoted cranky old man and slowly melts his heart as he makes a genuine friendship with a troubled youth and slowly becomes much closer to his Hmong family than his own white entitled offspring. The movie's obviously dated, but it's still an interesting character study and ends on an emotionally bittersweet note with that great titular song by Jamie Cullum.
It's sad and hard to watch at times, but still a very good Clint Eastwood film with a great story.
Must see movie that has strong themes of acceptance and love. It has funny moments and also some extremely emotional moments. Clint Eastwood portrays Walt Kowalski perfectly in what was a gritty but also touching performance.
Gran Torino delivers a powerful and heartfelt story of redemption, bridging cultural divides through authentic characters and compelling performances. Clint Eastwood's portrayal of Walt Kowalski is both gritty and touching, offering a profound commentary on personal growth and the power of unlikely friendships.
GT shows the psychological effects of soldiers from war and the inconsistency of prejudices! Furthermore it is never to late to change something and the film conveys the message perfectly.
GT shows us, that even people who have a firm opinion about immigrants, can overcome their prejudices and change their behavior.
The movie "Gran Torino" showed us that you should enjoy your life, have fun and not always be unkind to everyone. You shouldn't be too hard on yourself.
GT shows to us, that it´s never to late to give up our prejudices and everybody can change their behavior
Filled with coincidences, Schenk’s story structure feels too predictable to fully enjoy, but the good character development compensates effectively.
Gran Torino shines with Clint Eastwood’s excellent performance and direction, offers heartfelt character growth, but some supporting roles feel underdeveloped.
GT emphasizes: Prejudices don't pay off. Eastwood's story showcases an old conservative's changeability and a happy end for cultivated immigrants.
Gran Torino shows how people can transform and highlights that life depends on the perspective we look at it.
GT shows, that it‘s possible to learn, develop and change and to overcome prejudices and mindsets at any age.
An absolute amazing film. Love this movie, just didn’t like the ending. Similar to a “Saving Private Ryan” ending.
I waited like 12 years to finally get around to watching this movie. IMHO it's unwatchable. Terribly acted including Clint ( who I love) and very poorly written. Totally unbelievable characters and events. Huge disappointment. Mostly because the acting across the board was just lousy!
This is just a wonderful wonderful movie. One of my all-time favorites.
