"20.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Clint Eastwood on vanha rasisti, jota vituttaa kaikki. Erityisesti kaikki ulkomaalainen ja ulkomaalaistaustaiset ihmiset. Kunnes oppii elämästä hmong-naapuriensa avulla. Periaatteessa sentimentalistista satuilua, mikä nyt osuu, koska oon jo vanha, mutta äkäisen kyrvän kaari ei tietyissä nyansseissaan kuitenkaan ole ihan noin yksoikoinen, vaan ihan uskottava ja noh - tavallaan liikuttava. Eastwoodin kiukkuinen murina ja lämpimän rasistiset herjat hymyilyt"

"Clint Eastwood siempre ha mostrado ideales masculinos en sus películas y acá abordó esto en un contexto de nuevas olas inmigratorias a Estados Unidos y la amenaza de grupos pandilleros. Normalmente en este tipo de películas se trata de imponer una cultura sobre otra debido a que la tradicional ya no tiene cabida en el mundo actual, pero creo que acá es una excepción. Ambas partes se complementan y forman un vínculo donde aprenden mucho del otro, y la cultura de ambos lados se complementan"

"First viewing - Apr. 10th HBO Max Gran Torino is a mess, but it's a watchable one I guess. Racist jerk does the white savior thing for his neighbors after they force their way into his life & he realizes they're not as worthless as he'd assumed. I'm sure Eastwood's heart is in the right place, but the execution is horribly misguided. I liked his neighbors, & think this story told from their perspective would be far more interesting. Of course to do right that you'd have to get a Hmong writer & "

“I saw Gran Torino mainly as an admirer of Clint Eastwood, both as an actor and as director. And I was very impressed, there were parts that amused me and others that had me moved. Gran Torino was a very well made and beautifully directed movie, complete with a fitting soundtrack, a strong script with smooth enough tone shifts and a powerful message that is well conveyed and one that I think many, myself included, would identify with. The story is mostly engaging with an interesting protagonist, but there are a few moments where it is hackneyed and predictable, which is my only criticism of this movie. In regard to the acting, Clint Eastwood gives a very commanding performance and the kids are also very good mostly. Overall, very well done. 9/10 Bethany Cox” read more

“I enjoyed this film. Eastwood is about as snarly as I've ever seen him. He has taken Archie Bunker to the next level. He terrorizes his neighbors, is hateful to his children, and incredibly intolerant of a changing world. With that said, this is a story about redemption. It comes in small increments and the charm is not in what happens eventually, but what happens in each small doses. His slow developing relationship with the Hmong family next door. Because he steps in in a crisis situation, their culture sees him as a hero and sets out to reward him. They bring him endless presents and food. Because he leads such a lonely existence, he is slowly, but surely, pulled in. He keeps a balance of hatred for the punks he sees with a true love for those who have befriended him.l

" Много разных вопросов поднимается. Нужно признать, что такого деда не хватает многим. Любо знать, что Клинт Иствуд под пенсию не сел на своей вилле и ждал смерти, а снимал неплохой кинч. "
