Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino Looks Amazing

Clint Eastwood is directing and starring in Gran Torino, a new movie coming out this December. The trailer was released a few days ago but I hadn’t taken the time to watch it.

What was I thinking? This movie looks like it’s going to be fantastic!

Unmake My Day: Gran Torino Isn’t A New Dirty Harry Film

Unmake My Day: Gran Torino Isn't A New Dirty Harry Film

I don’t know why I’m disappointed, deep down I knew that Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino wasn’t going to be a new Dirty Harry movie… but it’s good to dream - isn’t it?

Moviehole got the low down on the film, which is a coming of age comedy and presumably Oscar bait. According to the site this is the plot:

“(The Gran Torino) is the prized possession of the film’s central character (he doesn’t budge when his granddaughter mentions that she’d like the car when pop finally keels over) a senior named Walt, grandfather and local sour-puss. When a local Asian boy named Tao attempts to steal the car, Walt, against the advice of others (largely the local priest), forms his own form of punishment.”

“Ultimately, Walt sets Tao on the right path - giving him a job (even if it’s just doing things around the house for the old man) and teaching him how to communicate with others.”

Apparently the film is filled with humor, which is a big change of pace for Eastwood, who seems to be taking himself very seriously recently. Too seriously!

So what is up with old Clint?
