Gran Torino Review

I rented this DVD, Gran Torino, not expecting to like it, which is probably one of the reasons why I did like it so much.  It had a great story and I found it very amusing as well.  It will even probably make my "top" list.  It is not maybe the BEST movie I have ever seen, but it would come close.  The characters were interesting, the story flowed nicely and I don't know what else to say.  Clint Eastwoods character was, to me, very funny as he reminded me of my own elderly family members; however, he was offensive, so be prepared for that.  He was very mean and racist, but it was all part of the growth of his character and I really liked it a lot.  The movie, I think, accurately portrays the opinions and attitudes of some of the people in this world that are in that age group and have had those experiences (like war veteran) and I really like and agree with how people can be won over to new opinions and viewpoints if they would just get to know each other.
