Gran Torino
A few days ago I watched the movie ‘Gran Torino’ with a few friends. I had a good time and it was fun and relaxing to go out, but the movie was terrible. The characters were walking, talking stereotypes, with their volume turned up 125%. Nobody acts like that. Even people who think those things don’t act like that. People who DO think or do those things, don’t turn around after a week and behave in the opposite manner.
There were a few ideas that were forced too hard as well. The whole church-hater-ending-up-a-Christ-like-sacrifice figure seemed like it was crafted with a blunt instrument.
Throw on top of that a few terrible child actors and Clint Eastwood trying to solidify his reputation as the old gravel-voice, and it was just not worth it. Just my thoughts.
