Saturday, I saw in a theater "Gran Torino", the last movie directed and played by Clint Eastwood. I need to admit it's the best movie I saw in a theater during all my life!! Eastwood is impressive in the character of Walt Kowalski, a Korean War vet who just lost his wife, and now finds himself living alone in his house somewhere in suburban Midwestern America. He�s a stubborn and misanthropic old guy who doesn�t have much of a relationship with his two grown up sons, and complains about the fact that there are a lot of Asians moving into the neighbourhood. When some gangs in the area start harassing the teenage Hmong boy and girl who live next door, he reluctantly breaks out his shotgun and springs into action. Suddenly he�s making friends in the neighbourhood, and before long, he has taken young Thao under his wing. Unfortunately, standing up to gang violence only leads to further retaliation, and Walt soon finds that the only choice is to take a final stand against them.
   If you have the possibility to watch this movie, don't hesitate: it's a masterpiece!! Moreover, you could watch (only in few scenes) Kowalski's car, the awesome Gran Torino mentioned in the title of the movie.
