PLOT:
Recently widowed, retired auto worker Walt Kowalski fills his days with
home repair, beer and monthly trips to the barber. The people he once
called his neighbors have all moved or passed away, replaced by Hmong
immigrants, from Southeast Asia, he despises. Resentful of virtually
everything he sees--Walt is just waiting out the rest of his life. Until
the night someone tries to steal his `72 Gran Torino. The Gran Torino
brings his shy teenaged neighbor Thao into his life when Hmong
gangbangers pressure the boy into trying to steal it. But Walt stands in
the way of both the heist and the gang, making him the reluctant hero
of the neighborhood--especially to Thao's mother and older sister, Sue,
who insist that Thao work for Walt as a way to make amends. Though he
initially wants nothing to do with these people, Walt eventually gives
in and puts the boy to work fixing up the neighborhood, setting into
motion an unlikely friendship that will change both their lives.
PRO REVIEWS:

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
"In the context of Clint Eastwood's career as a star, an actor, and a filmmaker, 'Gran Torino' is an endlessly fascinating movie. If only it were a good one. (...) Are we ready for the Last Temptation of Clint? That's what we get here." (Ty Burr: Boston Globe)
----------------------------------------

Wonderful film! I had seen this film in the past in Spanish and I loved it, today I saw it in English.

ARGUMENTO:
Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood), un veterano de la guerra de Corea
(1950-1953), es un obrero jubilado del sector del automóvil que ha
enviudado recientemente. Su máxima pasión es cuidar de su más preciado
tesoro: un coche Gran Torino de 1972. Es un hombre inflexible y
cascarrabias, al que le cuesta trabajo asimilar los cambios que se
producen a su alrededor, especialmente la llegada de multitud de
inmigrantes asiáticos a su barrio. Sin embargo, las circustancias harán
que se vea obligado a replantearse sus ideas. (FILMAFFINITY)
CRÍTICA:
"Ya
apenas hay americanos que hagan películas sobre su país, más allá del
Sr. Eastwood, un hombre cuya vitalidad como artista no muestra signos de
menguar, incluso en un esfuerzo modesto como es 'Gran Torino'.
Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"Una vida dedicada al cine recorre la
interpretación de 'gran reserva' de Eastwood. No puedes apartar los ojos
de él. 'Gran Torino', sin adornos ni grandezas, me alegró el día. (...)
Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"En el contexto de la carrera de Eastwood como
estrella, como actor y como director, 'Gran Torino' es una película
totalmente fascinante. Aunque eso no la hace una película buena. (...)
¿Estamos listos para 'La última tentación de Clint'? Eso es lo que
tenemos aquí."
Ty Burr: Boston Globe
"Seria y subestimada, 'Gran Torino' es un
minucioso examen de los temas que han fascinado a Eastwood en la mayor
parte de sus últimos films: familia, guerra, pérdida, fe y una conexión
humana inesperada. (...)
Claudia Puig: USA Today
"El segundo estreno de la temporada del actor-director es su película más despojada de adornos en muchos años."
Todd McCarthy: Variety
"Una película muy divertida y conmovedora que entrega su mensaje de tolerancia con una agradable mano ligera."
Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"Todo fluye y palpita en esta película
magistral, concebida con los medios justos, con enorme talento, con
sentido moral. Es normal que la emoción explote con un desenlace tan
imprevisible como épico."
Carlos Boyero: Diario El País
"Eastwood ajusta cuentas con el pasado de su
biografía en la ficción por medio de un relato directo (...) un
desenlace verdaderamente inesperado y emocionante. (...)
Alberto Bermejo: Diario El Mundo
"Una narración directa y vivísima en detalles,
con momentos de una elocuencia abrumadora (...) Es ese cine infrecuente
que no parlotea, sino que se hace escuchar, sentir. (...) absolutamente
colosal (...)
E. Rodríguez Marchante: Diario ABC
Ya había visto esta película hace tiempo y me había gustado mucho, así que hoy la vi en inglés con subtítulos en castellano, es una maravilla de película.
