One of the few directors that makes me wanna watch all of his movies. This in particular is very special and probably one of my favourites, if not the favourite that he directed. It tells a history about a war vet called Walt Kowalski that after an event starts to get closer to his neighbor a young Hmong, Thao. Clint is amazing as always and touching as usual. The character needs a tough man, brave and most of the times rude but he shows all of that and still the soft side that every human being has with some people. He's a lonely man that never got over all of the facts from the past. The relationship with Thao is really simple and with likely father and son moments that are funny and real.

If not for Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood, maybe this great history would have of lost and it have if transformed into in more one usual Hollywood history about the ''love''. BUT NOT! Meryl and Clint are incredible together!!!! They have a incredible chemistry, only with the expression of them eyes, you can feel all the emotion. The scene of the rain for example, gosh... nothing of words at that moment, only them face expressions, Francesca fighting with herself ... you feel all sadness and wish to cry ''Go!!! Get out of this car, and goes to him'' but, unfortunately, she never goes ...
A great movie about the true love.
