I liked the movie. Ok, there were some conservative issues in there, but all in all I thought it was rather a "Reverse Karate Kid" with Clint as Mister Miyagi and an unexpected end. Very enjoyable.

Wow!Wow!Wow! What a movie. What a performance. What great entertainment! I loved every minute. My wife and I saw this on Valentine's Day. She can't thank me enough. ( though she tried!) I only saw it because "Taken" was sold out. I have never been so glad to see my second choice. Academy Award? I can't imagine anything more deserving. Best Actor, Best Director, Best movie. It should win

This movie had nothing to do with political party so I don't know why it was even brought in.

It was a movie about a man who had boycotted a specific group of people because he grew to dislike them through the Korean War. When he loses his wife and realize he has no one, the only people that is willing to accept and respect him is the very people he had been boycotting.

I perceived Walt as not so much a racist, but as a complete misanthrope, isolated in his integrity. Having to watch members of his own race fail to come anywhere near his conservative standards of good manors and work ethic, pains him to the point of having to give that pain back to everyone, and slurs are just an easy way of doing that.

Periodically he uses slurs as weapons, conjuring

Clint Eastwood used his outward crankiness to come across as tough and yet also heroic at the same time, well done i'd say

I lived in one of those neighborhood and watched it deteriorate over two decades. The criminals win in the end. I sold my house for less than I bought it for.

Grand Torino is the best picture I've seen all year. I'm an old guy and Clint Eastwood's character best displays my sentiments about what wrongs are happening to this country and all the PC crap. There was a lot of audience laughter, especially early in the film. I've always been very un-PC and said it like it was...learned that in the military. But a lot of people now days don't like that.
