In the eyes of many friends, his image is a tough western cowboy, even to a large extent the label of an era. Many people say that he is a late hero, maybe yes, but that is only in the movie. In my opinion, he is just a person, a person who has created many plump characters for us on the screen, from teenagers to men, from men to heroes, from heroes to immortality. . He was tough and unmoving during this long process. And because of his persistence, we have the opportunity to know him in his movies, get to know him, and fall in love with this man.
Although Gran Torino contains a lot of serious topics such as races, the proliferation of guns, the destruction of people's hearts by war, and so on. . But in general, I prefer to see him as a warm movie. . Among them, the most discussed issue is the belonging of souls and emotions between people.
When Walt finally decided to go to the priest to do confession, maybe the audience was expecting to hear him reexamine himself from that war, and then get redemption. But here he made a little joke with us and the priest. He only said a few things that were faulty about himself, or even not counted as sinful sins at all. . Kissed his wife, sold the engine without paying taxes, and failed to fulfill his responsibilities to his children. . . Seeing this, I smiled wisely, laughing at the forbearance and humor of this old man as well as his helplessness. The real guilt cannot be cleared by those short Confession, and words often appear pale and naive at this time.
In the end, he gave the old car to Tao, a young friend who had no blood relationship with him. We don't have the right to choose our relatives. If you just keep the same blood to judge who you want to love, it is very shallow. In this film, we also agree that his family, his so-called relatives do not know him, and the only contact with him is only because he wants to get his house and his car. . For these selfish and hypocritical relatives, their blood relationship has become a kind of ridicule. . The relationship between people is also slowly established in communication and contact and connects you together. Only when everyone has an emotional contribution, can they get the corresponding emotional return, just like Walt and the pastor, Walt and the two children, in the end, they use their lives in exchange for their peaceful life, and let their souls get the ultimate Salvation and tranquility. . The medal also found its original meaning at the end of his life.
This may be a bit of inspiration that this man who is nearly old wants to give us in his last movie. . Because when all of us have gone through a brilliant and dazzling life, all we seek is just a little bit of warmth and respect. . .
