man of men

The man among men has experienced strong winds and waves, is not good at talking, loves his wife, and does not see him showing weakness. When I saw it in the middle, I suddenly felt that it was my favorite film for adults and children: Kikujiro's Summer, Paradise Cinema; the maturity of adults and the innocence of children will make me feel warm and not pretentious. Walt taught Shao to learn how to talk to men, to pursue the girl he likes, not to be weak, and to have his own sense of value and existence.

I liked the ending very much, the dialogue between him and the priest in the room was well foreshadowed, they don't have the chance to do it again, and it was still so fierce. I can only think of Walt going for revenge like this, or even taking Shao for revenge, maybe it's a bloody fight like the priest expected, it doesn't make sense. Walt told Shao to calm down and plan carefully. Yes, he did. Walt arranged everything and let the Miao gang leave in his own way. He played hard with guns all his life, and did not bring anything to teach the gang the last lesson It is heroic and brave, few people dare to do it, few people dare to plan like this, but indeed, his purpose has been achieved. The courage of men among men...

He planned to lock Shao, and the passage was touching (to the point): you ask me how it feels to kill people. It's the most terrible thing that you have to carry till the end of your life. You explode the children' head who are as old are you are, what is worse, they give you a medal for doing this. You are young, Thao, have a long way to go with your future; I am finished, so I will go by myself. Planning to think , instead of blind anger and violence, carefully protect the children you love.

Clint Eastwood's acting is great.

    It's a good film, and it's also very touching.

Gran Torino quotes

  • [last lines]

    Lawyer: [reading from Walt's will] And I'd like to leave my 1972 Gran Torino to...

    [the lawyer pauses and looks up at Ashley, who smiles expectantly]

    Lawyer: ...my friend... Thao Vang Lor. On the condition that you don't chop-top the roof like one of those beaners, don't paint any idiotic flames on it like some white trash hillbilly, and don't put a big, gay spoiler on the rear end like you see on all the other zipperheads' cars. It just looks like hell. If you can refrain from doing any of that... it's yours.

  • Mitch Kowalski: Look at the way the old man glared at Ashley, can't even tone it down for Mom's funeral.

    Steve Kowalski: What do you expect?, Dad's still living in the 50's, he expects his granddaughter to dress a little more modestly.

    Mitch Kowalski: Yeah, well your kid's earing a Lions jersey, I'm sure Dad appreciates that!

    Steve Kowalski: The point I'm trying to make is that there's nothing anyone can do that won't disappoint the old man, it's inevitable.
