Film Review of Gran Torino

FILM REVIEW
GRAN TORINO

We've seen the film Gran Torino , a film directed and produced by Clint Eastwood.
The film is starred by Clint Eastwood (Walt Kowalski), Bee Vang (Thao Vang Lor), Anhey Her (Sue Lor) and Christopher Carley (Father Janovich).

Plot:

The film starts with the funeral of Walt's wife. Walt is an old american retired soldier who is always angry. He's a lonely person and the relationship with his sons isn't very good.
The neighborhood where Walt lives in is full of Asiatic people now. Walt doesn't like this people because he fought in the Korean war.
One day,he discovers his Asiatc neighbour,Thao,trying to steal his car,a 1972 Ford Gran Torino. The gang of Thao's cousin has ordered him to steal the car to join in the gang.
After that,Walt saves Thao and his family from the gang and they start to give him presents and Thao starts to work to Walt.
Walt and Thao are friends now. But the gang continues attacking the family.
Walt discovers that he's very sick and he gives his life to protect Thao's family.
He goes to the gang's house without weapons and the members of the gang kill him because they were thinking that he was going to pull out his gun. The police arrest them to kill an unarmed man and bring them to prison.

Personal opinion:

I like this film very much. It has action, weapons, and a trouble as the gangs. I also like the character of Walt because he changes his mind about the Asiatic people and they are his friends at the end of the film. He's angry and he doesn't mind his sons at the beginning of the film but he wants to change. At the end he is a brave man and gives his life for his friends.

I don't like the fact that Walt died because he was very brave. I don't like the gang. They hurt Thao's family.

I'd recommend this film this film to everybody.The age doesn't matter because I think that there isn't a lot of violence and it's a nice film to watch.
I give the film 9 out of10.
