Gran Torino v.f.

Retired auto worker and Korean War vet Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) fills emptiness in his life with beer and home repair, despising the many Asian, Latino and black families in his neighborhood. Walt becomes a reluctant hero when he stands up to the gangbangers who tried to force an Asian teen to steel Walt's treasured car. An unlikely friendship develops between Walt and the teen, as he learns he has more in common with his neighbors than he thought.

(no rating) Dec 20, 2008 - Chicago Tribune

If Clint Eastwood wins his first Academy Award for acting come February, besting Sean Penn for "Milk" and Mickey Rourke for "The Wrestler" among other probable nominees, it'll be like 1971 all over again, the year Helen Hayes snagged a supporting actress statuette for her shifty-stowaway routine in "Airport." Longevity and sentiment count for a lot with the Oscars. And Eastwood is a titan. He's an international movie star who developed into a confident, defiantly old-school director, and whose best work behind the camera examines the tradition and enduring attraction of warrior machismo, as well as its cost.
