❤BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY❤
PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11 NIV
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

John 15:13. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” He saved Tao and his family, and sacrificed himself, to assuage his lifelong guilt for killing young enemy soldiers in the Korean War. The key dialogue: "I'm proud to say you are my friend....I shot a kid just like you right in the face with that rifle in there. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think if that. And you don't want that on your soul." He cared about people. He cared about justice. And he lived the essence of his religion: He loved his neighbor as himself.
He was going to die anyway and he chose to go out like a soldier. Instead of dying over many months, shriveled and packed full of tubes in some strange hospital bed.
This is crazy. This is the first time I have watched your reaction. I am urged to describe Walt’s cross pose after he got shot, and since my projector’s UA-cam app has no comments or description section, I had to get on my iPad and found you have a Bible verse. I guess God does do a wonderful thing, lol.
BTW, I am Hmong. Clint Eastwood and screenwriter Nick Schenk shined a spotlight on my people for the time on the silver screen. I took my parents and my uncle with his wife to see Gran Torino, and they all loved it.
Just be sure to read the full Bible, every word and passage, not just the positive ones!
Morality is to do what is right regardless of what you are told.
Religion is to do what you are told regardless of what is right.
Religion is the root of all evil.
Clint Eastwood is one of the only remaining actors from a truly special era of cinema. He’s a fucking legend
Proud to be named after him. (real name Clint) Weirdly enough, my middle name is Scott, the name of his son, whom was born after i was born.
Don't forget about Mel Gibson.
@@user-dk4bx2uj1s lol Crazy you would group those two together. Both top of the line actors and directors, but both toxic bigots.
@@latentgamer5762Eastwood is a Hollywood liberal. TF are you talking about?
@@proudsaiyanprince2651 BAHAHA He attends the Republican National Commitie all the time. He SPOKE at one AGAINST Obama. What world do you live in?
This movie was also about my people, the Hmong people. I'm grateful for the representation.
How true is it that the girls go to college and the boys go to jail?
What are you fish heads looking at?
Mongz the new kangz
I'm grateful for everything your people did. You have my thanks. You know why.
My grandfather was like Walt.
He was a Korea war veteran.
Talked and behaved like him.
As a kid, it was hard to relate to him.
Very rough, abrasive personality, but would stand up for people in trouble.
This movie seemed like I was following him around the neighborhood again.
Same here. My grandfather was WW2 vet. Would give everyone shit around town. He though it was funny. He was tough as nails yet would to out of his way to help people.
My grandfather was also a Korean War vet
He was a bit rough around the edges himself
But never as rough as Walt
He had his bad days
But he was a family man first and foremost
He would go out of his way for anybody and he didn't hold grudges
Same...Good man, family man who liked to tell off colored jokes to the guys, but would have knocked someones lights out for being nasty in front of us.
God Bless Your Family Brother
You’re grandfather was a damn legend…ALL races should be made fun of, NOBODY is off limits…sticks and stones…in the military all kinds are together and we would constantly make racist jokes….everyone was cool and we ALL got trashed on a daily basis…shit was hilarious…only thing that kept us sane
My Hmong people! We all was happy that we get to see our people in a America movie ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You had one of the best observations of this movie: "Even though he's no longer in the Army this man is still fighting a war"
Those words speak a lot
One of the greatest redemption stories told. Goes from hating everything to live for to finding something to die for.
Who was "redeemed?" Maybe Walt was the only sensible thing in the film and everything was screwed up around him. The neighborhood went to hell. Gangs. His family were ingrates and flakes. But there was old Walt: the same old guy he always was...to the day he died: doing the right things right (would you feel guilty about not reporting a small profit on a boat and motor?), devoted husband, and worked for everything he had.
it's not a redemption story.
In a redemption story, a person changes.
This guy does not change one single bit throughout the entire film.
He treats people like crap who he doesn't respect and he treats people well if he discovers they are deserving of respect.
He gets to know his neighbors and then treats them with the respect they deserve....... his own family does not deserve his respect and he treats them like shit.
@@lawrenceallen8096 he didn't feel guilty about not reporting the profit. That was the whole point of that scene, it was a sham "confession" to later contrast with his real confession, to Thao, complete with the same "through the screen" imagery. He felt guilty his whole life for killing a kid not much older than Thao, and heavy survivor's guilt. Now he had the chance to indeed redeem himself, his time by being the only one who dies (and, as the movie strongly hints, he was dying anyway. But he went out on his own terms and got the neighborhood problem children locked up for a while).
@@ahwhite1398 Interesting interpretation. My interpretation of the confession is that it was a device to: (a) lead the audience to conclude that the character was about to die (together with getting his first straight razor shave and have a nice tailored suit to be buried in), and (b) to further his character development as an honest, simple, morally grounded guy. Now, clearly he didn't respect the church or its young padre. He did indeed reserve his most important confession for Thao, which actually did some good in the real world. And MEN who are professional gangsters who gang rape their cousin and shoot up houses with illegal machine pistols aren't "neighborhood problem children," they are "neighborhood criminals, rapists and murderers." Where we agree is he choose to go out as a soldier (the hint in the emblem emblazoned on the lighter in his hand), rather than die a shriveled body in a hospital with tube stuck in him.
He never hated everything, and he already had love. The source of most hatred is in fact love. Love that has been taken corrupted or somehow trod on. He was willing to die for his country and his family.....the only thing that happened is he found more family.
This is one of those deeper movies. It shows that no matter how close minded and guarded some people are they can always open up and let love into their life.
This is one of Clint's best movies. And that's saying a lot cuz he has a lot of great movies
I don't think he's ever done a bad film, least not one he directed.
Agreed
This would be his magnum opus
A Perfect World and Mystic River
so many good ones. High Plains Drifter is unreal. Unforgiven is absolutely fucking killer. Gran Torina is amazing for sure.
Richard jewel is awesome
Now you've experienced Clint ,check out two more he made in his older years. Million Dollar Baby and Unforgiven. You won't be disappointed.
Unforgiven is perfect. LONG lmao but perfect.
Best scene of the movie
'I'm here to confess'
'Oh my god what did you do?'
Lol, right?
This movie is about the importance a strong father figure can have on a manless family
I always loved how Clint gave us a complete and total subversion of the trope he himself pioneered. Every viewer thought he was going to do an Unforgiven and gun em all down in an intense shoot out.
Don't feel weird about crying. I cry every time I watch this movie or even see a reaction of it.
Yeah it was great how she was trying so hard not to. Just let it go Blend!
This movie does have a sad theme to it especially the ending but it’s a masterpiece nonetheless
@@StinkyGreenBud yep sometimes better to let it all out
Can i also say isn’t it something that… even though Walt said the worst things, the most hateful sounding things… we come to know him… and those words lose all their power. You start to see it with Walt and his friend in the barber shop. That’s just the way they talk… and when you see his relationship with “Toad”… it is beautiful.
Exactly alot of people cant see that context matters... words arent racist, actions are.
Walt sacrificed his life because he knew he had terminal cancer and he also felt he brought all that violence to Tao and his family. So to rectify it all Walt fixed it the only way he knew how without him committing any more killing on his behalf. I loved your reaction keep up the great work.
When you said at the beginning: “The director must love music or music is so important to him?” He’s the director as you might very well know by now but also Clint is a musician in his own right. And his son Kyle also is a renowned musician and composer. Lots of Clints directorial efforts feature his own compositions in some way.
Clint Eastwood is an absolute legend. All his movies are amazing.
Yes, when he passes away I’m gonna watch a marathon of his movies to honor him and celebrate his life and career. I did the samething for Sean Connery when he passed away
Clint Eastwood is an icon to say the least. He's well known for his great Western movies, but has directed and performed in great movies outside of Westerns. The look you asked how did he perfect, is so well known, Jim Carey does it so well! "Million Dollar Baby" may be a movie you may find as interesting as this one.
Yes! Jim Carrey is just as big of an icon as Eastwood. Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood should’ve done a movie together
Clint's best film by far is "Unforgiven."
"It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away everything he's got and everything he's ever gonna have."
"High Plains Drifter"
Million Dollar Baby
He keeps spitting because he chews tobacco. So does his elderly Hmong neighbor (the grandma). And as for haircuts, I remember when my dad used to take us to the barber. The barber was always glad to see us, because although haircuts were 75¢ apiece, dad would always give him a full dollar for each of us (all four boys). It was a different time then...
This movie effectively illustrates the differences between words and actions.
21:20 "Call me Walt."
That was the moment he announced he was at peace with dying.
Clint Eastwood is one of the great Hollywood stars who has branched out and become a truly great director and producer as well. Another phenomenal movie he's in is the western "Unforgiven," with a host of fantastic actors, for which he won best picture and best director, and was nominated for best actor in the Academy Awards, the same awards for "Million Dollar Baby" as well (winning best picture and director, while being nominated for best actor.)
He’s a much better director than actor. But still a legend. Him and Sean Connery should’ve done a movie together
I don’t like to see a woman cry, but I am pleased that you had such an emotional reaction to this excellent movie. Most younger people (I'm 71, and a USNavy veteran) talk a lot about how heartwarming it was that WALT changed so much, becoming more accepting, as these viewers apparently fancy themselves to be in their own conceits (Rom 12:16, _“Be not wise in your own conceits.”)._
But they rarely mention how encouraging it was to see these three young people *_becoming more like Walt._* That’s because some of the most admirable virtues: courage, responsibility, hard work (industry), privacy, and self-sufficiency are accounted of little value today. The movement, the growth was in both directions, and good from both sides. I hope this strong, striking, and sensitive story continues to move and influence viewers for as long as our culture endures. Good reaction. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Clint was also great in his latest movie, The Mule. He is the director and acts in his movies.
12:27 - “What kind of lawnmower is thaaaat? It’s literally cutting the grass!”
Yeah, I think that’s what it’s suppose to do 😂
That "Step Back" that Walt took is his way of dealing with life.
He lives by his guts.
Not by his head.
He can control himself to the point of letting go of life itself to serve the cause.
He can "step back."
The movie in a way is an example of how to live life by having courage to do it all the way.
Recognize what is the right thing to do, then step back from your fears and go ahead and do it.
"Be SURE that you are right---THEN go ahead," said a famous American frontier patriot back in the old tough days of our nation's founding.
That still is the way to go today.
Folks like you respond to Clint because the message is timeless!
“And he brought daisy as witness!” Dude that was hilarious to me!
A lot of people get super offended by this film at the beginning but after a little bit they realize “oh… This guy hates everybody equally” L O L. I love this movie. Oh and, holy cow… This girl is beautiful as heck!
I have seen this two other times and your sweet tears had me crying...again. Peace. Clint Eastwood, you are the finest actor , greatest director, and producer in my life. I am 73. Thank you.
Love the channel and got a laugh when you didn't understand what a "push mower" was. It's gone the way of the rotary phone.
Yum Yum is the name of a female character in a Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera named The Mikado, written in the late 1800s, and which is set in Japan
I actually have a friend named Tao, and when he bought a new car, the first thing he did was put a stupid looking spoiler on it, so that line from Walt's will made me laugh.
Hahahahahah
Love the scene where Walt's "family" looked all hopeful to be getting his things in his will, and they all subsequently got let down as he instead chose to give everything to his family.
From beyond the grave I can almost hear him laughing at his daughter, "that's for treating me like I don't know what a damned phone is!"
So many things about this movie hit close to home. Filmed in my neck of the woods and really shows Detroit how it is. My dad used to live in an area in detroit like this and had many issues but thankfully got out alive!
The barber shop was maybe half a block from me on 11 mile just east of Washington in Royal Oak just across from the post office.
I've been watching a lot of reactors now for about a year, but I'm glad I came across this channel recently, it's like a breath of fresh air! The genuine excitement in your laughter and your reactions with the mimicking of characters band accents are like having an extra character in the reaction videos that's just as entertaining as the characters in the film (sometimes more).
Could not agree more 👏
Like the short as possible intros too.
Million dollar baby, is his best movie.
Not ashamed to say it, I've watched this movie numerous times and it always gets me broken up at the end. I know what's coming but it doesn't matter. A real LIFE story.
Very perceptive, sensitive reaction, Walt today would get a PTSD diagnosis, but we see Walts' wound as more spiritual, he grieved and was guilt-ridden all his life for the killing he did in Korea. Great film, you have a great personality. Please react to "Twelve Angry Men", thank you.
You'd probably dig "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby". Two more Eastwood classics.
8:39 at this moment you are SO CLOSE to understanding the entire point of the movie.
He absolutely says things that aren't politically correct in todays culture....but he comes from another culture.
He is not racist. Racism isn't words.... sounds that come out of a person's mouth. Racism is about actions. This man treats everyone like crap regardless of race, religion, ethnicity etc etc.
And if he thinks they are good people, then he treats them well.
The film is about making people think about "don't judge a book by its cover". Not just using that phrase to mean, don't judge a white/black/asian/hispanic/indigenous/etc person by the cover.... but everyone regardless of any b.s. grouping you want to throw them into. That includes mean, grumpy a-holes who don't like everyone and want to be left alone and speak like people did from a culture of 3 generations in the past.
How does he treat people? shitty...but he treats everyone shitty. then he's not being unfair.
yes that is the traditinal clothing Sue ad Tau are wearing to Walt's funeral for them to wear the traditinal clothing of their people to his Funeral is the ultimate show of respect and love to him
Clint has so many great movies he’s been in as an actor and a ton of great movies he’s directed. He’s an American treasure.
I love your reactions. You’re personality is sweet and you’re so funny and smart. God bless you and keep ‘em coming!
Him and Sean Connery should’ve done a movie together
@@nsasupporter7557 oh yeah, that would’ve been awesome
@@johnrogan9729 when Sean Connery passed away in 2020, I watched a marathon of his movies to celebrate his life and career. And I’m gonna do the same for Clint Eastwood when he passes away. And Jack Nicholson too, it doesn’t seem like he’s gonna be around much longer. He had to retire because he had Alzheimer’s or dementia
Got to hand it to Scott when his old man says "Hey boy you want a part in my movie? You gotta to play a goofy poser" And he's like hey yeah!
Highly recommend "Million Dollar Baby" his character in that movie is very similar to his character in this movie plus if you are a fan of the Rocky movies it’s a boxing movie!
Yes! This one, million dollar baby, Unforgiven, Sully, just so many great films. He’s a great actor but he’s indisputably a legendary director and I’m gonna miss his new movies when he’s gone.
The worst thing about this movie is that every single time you see it, even through someone else's eyes your vision gets blurry from all the tears.
Thank you for your genuine reaction to this film. Many reactors think people watching are tuning in to watch the reactor be clever or predict what will happen next, and maybe even take the movie apart in some ways. I immediately fell in love with your style. Many times you didn't have to say anything because your face said it all, lol. I'm an instant fan and look forward to checking out your channel. Definitely subscribing!!
For what it's worth, my dad is a form of Walt. He has said racist things (that were probably acceptable in his youth) as I was growing up, and will occasionally, still, and I actually cringe and die a bit inside, especially if it's in front of other people. At the same time, my stepmother was a Native American woman (recently passed, may she RIP) who ruled the house implicitly, lol. Their town has a high percentage of Native American people and they would often come to him when they are having money challenges or perhaps there's a death in the family that requires more money that week or maybe need help with a car repair or something. He will loan them money, small amounts, and doesn't charge interest or anything like that. He has an account at one of the grocery stores and will make a call to them to let them know that one of his Native American friends will be in to get a dollar amount of food.
I specify Native American friends because I've never seen him do this for any white people, even tho he's often been approached. I asked him why and he said that he knew those particular white folks were using drugs and he wouldn't support it. The folks he loans money to or buys groceries for always pay him back. If they don't, they have lost that benefit. He's careful that he's not supporting bad behavior. For example, one man was selling his family's food stamps and buying alcohol and then going to my dad for groceries. Dad called the man's wife and worked out a plan with her to help her fix the problem and keep her family fed. He owns storage units that he rents out and right next to that property is an apartment complex that is mostly low-income Native American families. He buys candy and keeps it in his work truck so that when he's over doing repairs or tending the grass he has something to give the little kids playing in the yard or riding their bikes, etc. He also has a horse and buggy that he occasionally drives to town (seriously, it's hilarious to ride to the grocery store with him in an actual horse and buggy) and he loves to take it over to that property and give everyone rides in it. He can be very Walt grumpy and it's embarrassed me my whole life how gruff he is. One day he scolded one of the kids and the mom was standing there and I sort of apologized to her for his abrasiveness. She smiled and said, "Oh, man, no worries, that's just your dad, he's great!" I realized then that she saw what was underneath that crusty surface to his heart, that is genuine and caring.
It's a tuff one 4 me to watch, too...( Saw it at the theatre, lots of folks cried) but in a way, a beautiful ending and a new start for Thao. But Walt had nothing to lose--death by cancer is long and painful. As for his ungrateful kids/grandkids, they got exactly what they deserved-nothing. Thao and Sue's people were more family to him than they every were. FYI: a 72 Gran Torino in that kind of condition is worth $35,000 or more today.
Eastwood may be the last living star to be casted back when Cowboy movies and shows were popular in the 1950s when he had made his debut. By the early 70s , Eastwood was already a household name when his acting career took another rise when he was casted as Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry movies. The five movies from 1971-1988 were a commercial success. I didnt think Callahan's bigotry from the Dirty Harry movies would match any other movies he was a part of, but Gran Torino was a shock..lol However, Eastwood behind the scenes is very humble and a very shy man. The man is just a living legend.
Clint Eastwood knows what he's doing both in front of and behind the camera.
He’s the most talented actor ever
Clint Eastwood survived a plane crash in the ocean when he was in the military (In the 1950's I think). He and another man managed to get into a life raft and paddle part of the way back to shore before the waves threw them out of the raft and he had to swim the rest of the way.
I think I read that he probably wouldn't have even had an acting career if that didn't happen, because he was about to get shipped off until that crash happened.. Sometimes life doesn't go according to plan. And sometimes it works out for the better. Especially in his case.
6:35 “he got it like a pocket book”
😂
That was funny!
Love the fact that you have a Bible verse pinned in the comments.
God bless you ❤ showering love from Texas 🤠
Gentle now, the tender breeze blows,
Heart locked in a Gran Torino
It beats a lonely rhythm
All night long
Beautiful movie. Shared another tear with you.
Peace
There's a difference between being racist, prejudiced, and bigot. Walt wasn't racist or a bigot. He prejudged people. He judged people by their character.
Clint Eastwood produced, directed, and starred in Gran Torino.
Oh my goodness you have a lot of great stuff to watch with Clint Eastwood! He has an amazing library to see!
Ahney Her played the young girl, a Hmong. This was her first movie
You should check out Million Dollar Baby, also by Clint Eastwood.
Walt had nothing left to live for but his neighbors gave him something worth dying for
When Clint Eastwood dies, Hollywood will no longer be the same. He is a giant among legends. He must be such a perfectionist as everything he does and touches turns to gold.
Good thing he’s still kicking, he’s definitely one of a kind
You should watch "In The Line Of Fire" where Clint is a secret service agent. A good thriller that also stars John Malkovich and Rene Russo.
You came up in my recommended and a quick scan of your past reactions and I see you've reacted to so many of my fave movies. So I'm subscribing and bingeing your channel today. Also...love your reactions!
Nice rx, this is a great movie. Clint Eastwood is my fave director. It just seems like real life. Another movie he acted and directed is called million dollar baby. It won best pic, director, actress, and Morgan Freeman’s best supporting actor. Famously, Clint saw the first cut and said there was no need for many edits, it was perfect as it was. Clint also wrote the score. It’s a good one.
My word that was a great reaction, dear lady. Sitting here at my desk listening to you whilst I work and trying not to let your emotions start my eyes to glistening!
One of the best movies ever. Peace, Love!!
It’s one of the great movies!
Grand Torino was a very emotional movie with various layers of complexity. A blue collar war vet with bad memories of death from the Korea War, who is terminally ill with bad family relations, and Asian Hmong mountain people from Vietnam and Laos who were also war vets fighting on the side of the American Army during the Vietnam War. They were refugees from that war trying to make it in a violent U.S. neighborhood. Clint Eastwood has a highly successful split career as a movie Director and Actor starring in many Great movies -- way too many to list here. As Director, he made the great movie "Sully," "Unforgiven" (Academy Award for Best Picture & Director), "Grand Torino," and many other great films. He starred as the lead actor in many different movies, not only Westerns. The movies that made him a star in Westerns were the 1960s movies "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly," and "A Fist full of Dollars." Then he was a Police Inspector (1970s movies) as Inspector Callahan in "Dirty Harry," "Magnum Force," "Sudden Impact," very popular movies. His fame increased with "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976), "High Plains Drifter," and "Pale Rider" (1985) three westerns -- all 3 very popular. In "Heartbreak Ridge," (1986), he was Marine Gunnery Sergeant and Medal of Honor recipient, and fought during the U.S. Invasion of Granada in the Caribbean Sea. I liked that movie - he's a great actor.
My dad is getting old, fighting cancer for the 2nd time and retiring from the police department. Ever since I was a kid I wanted his HK USP that he used as his service pistol. I didn't want to ask about it cause its not only rude but would show my dad that I didn't have faith in him to beat cancer. Luckily my mom gave me some advice and after I asked if he was going to sell his pistol, he offered to give it to me as long as I never sold it. I thought it was like Walt passing down his car as long as it wasn't modified.
I bet you could write a superb screenplay. Your knowledge of film is exceptional, and I liked this reaction before I even watched it because I knew it would be great!
Persistence is the key
My favorite lol verse from you, " He carrier's it around like a purse ".😅😅😅
This movie is a masterpiece by Clint.
I grew up in the 60's in the area of this movie, Hamtramck, MI. 90% of the citizens were of Polish descendants, many 1st generation Americans. You either worked at an auto plant or steel mill. There were a lot of neighborhood fights & gangs. Walt was like a lot of the dads & older WW II & Korean War Vets that I knew.
"why you keep spitting" The answer to that questions can be found by watching one of his older western greats. The Outlaw Josey Wales.
It wasnt a transformation. Thats who he was. Underneath the racist surface was a a kind and gentle man that only wanted a family that loved him for who he was not what he could give them.
1. Sue and Vu are a couple of little cuties.😍😍
2. With a family like that it's no wonder Walt befriends the Hmong family.
3. Walt does have a death wish. He's sick and dyeing anyway.
The "spitting" is because he's dipping/chewing tobacco. That's why the old lady's spit was brown. It's a super common habit in the military and blue collar jobs
Originally I clicked on this just to see some of the clips from Gran Torino your comedy is awesome you have a beautiful face beautiful smile I could watch your reactions all the time
Another beautiful reaction video 😇
If you liked Gran Torino, you will love Million Dollar Baby..
(You look amazing too by the way 😊)
@16:10..."How has he perfected this old man...(growl?)"
For real? Clint has been old for like 40+ years! Lots of real life experience to draw from
Clint Eastwood was director for this movie as well as Million Dollar Baby. Very good movie. Great Reaction ❤
he sipping out his chew is in almost all his western movies
This is one of the best films Clint Eastwood ever made. By the way, the white kid he was making fun of when he confronted the black guys, was his son, Scott.
Uh, she literally said and knew that. How in the world did you miss that?
Great review - you nailed what made Clint's directing in the movie so special!
"MOVE, THAT, BUS" 😂😂😂😂
I honestly would love to see a sequel and it could be about Tao and how Walts influences shaped his life.
The actor regrets being in the movie because of the "racism"
@@jamesrustles8670 Really Lmfao
Gran Torino ain’t what it is if Walt isn’t in it
He is an icon of acting and directing. And a link between old Hollywood and post 60s Hollywood. The 3 movies that established him were spaghetti westerns. Good bad and ugly, fistful of dollars, few dollars more.
I enjoyed re-watching this with you. It's more than just a movie, it's humanity.
I just found your channel, but you had your finger on the pulse of this movie the entire time, and I will be back. Good stuff
What I like about Walt is that he was very nearly a Karen but he was too self aware. He accepted his responsibility.
Not easy to do.
Clearly one of the greatest reactions/reviews regarding the spectacular movie, "Gran Torino". Thank you, my friend, your video is awesome. 🙂
This movie and secondhand lions are two movies every young man should see growing up due to the messages of "how to be a man"
Great movie, a lot of lesson of life. Great feelings Walt was hard on the outside by was warm on the inside , once he got to know people. He was dying with a disease so he work out a plan that would help the cool neighbors.
My first time watching you... very sweet. Clint Eastwood and this movie... reminds me a lot of my father... though my father wasn't as outwardly racist. He still was in a way... though I don't think he was originally... I think when he was in the Airforce he just ... something changed... not sure. I always say my father could lack a lot of tact. He came off harsh... but really he had a lot of care for people... he just had a bad way of expressing it. This movie always makes me cry. But it has a good message. And yeah... Walt sacrificed himself for Tao... he knew Tao wouldn't have a chance to change... or to be something else... as those boys were just going to continue to bully and harrass him until he snapped. But Walt knew his life was soon going to be done anyway... the tests confirmed that. He was dying... and he knew it. And I think in the end he felt closer to Tao and Su's family than his own... sadly.
Walt knew he didn't have long to live anyway. So he wanted the end of his life to mean something good 👍
Everybody needs a Walt in their lives.
Not sure if you caught it, but Walt's real confession, his greatest sin and regret, was to Tao, not the priest. The screen door mimics the confessional screen.
Thanks for the great heartfelt reaction.
And you looked very elegant doing it.
Clint's statements to his son are my favorite part of the movie....thats how I feel whenever I see these god damn hip hop wiglet types
So many great Clint Eastwood movies - and not all of them are westerns. Some others I think you would like are In the Line Of Fire, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwogema, and Bridges of Madison County (tissue alert - you will be crying by the end of the movie).
