When he said,"Would it kill you to buy American," about his son's car it is important to note Walt's character wasn't just a veteran, but a retired Ford worker. He got that Gran Torino off the line where he worked.
You’ll notice that Walt insulted everyone. The barber, the construction guy, the 3 black guys, the guy with Sue, (which was actually his son, Scott Eastwood.) Walt gives a half-hearted confession to the priest, to honor his wife’s request that he do so, but he give his REAL confession to Thao. It’s even framed with them talking through a screen, just like a confessional.
Men need bullying, women needs encouragement. We're opposites. Men talk crudely and directly, women talk around the subjects in order to avoid potential conflict, for obvious evolutionary reasons, they don't have strength so they have to use words.
Clint is a proper film legend, one of the last left from a golden age of cinema. He’s way before my time but I love classic cinema. And as this movie proves, even in his old age he’s still a master
@@BissFlix Hi, is your real name Madalina? Oh yes, Gran Torino is a good movie with Clint Eastwood. I love the part in the movie where he says "Get off my lawn." It's nice to meet you, Biscutte or Madalina. I like your music reactions. Have a great day and you be blessed.
Certain movies you need a depth of character to truly appreciate. I think this movie and your reaction really showed off the type of person you are and the level of depth of your judgement you are able to handle. You got the main character was not about hate or prejudice, he had a depth, and their was a sense of compassion and fairness underneath.
"I'm Romanian, and in our culture feeding your guests, with everything you have in your house is really important." I just got back from Romania, and that comment is dead on accurate 😂
I'm first generation Mexican American and my Mom would always not just offer but insist that anyone me my sister and brother would bring over would get fed. ❤😊
Haha it’s an Eastern European thing. My fondest memory of my late friend Grzegorz was him inviting me over to make studzienina and we stood in the kitchen drinking Polish vodka and eating pigs feet for two hours. I was supposed to leave for Virginia in the am and I arrived late cos his mum wouldn’t stop giving me coffee and eggs
@LeviBoldock true but million dollar baby is consider one of the best films of this century. Unforgiven is certainly Eastwood's best Western. Interestingly, Eastwood lost to Pacino for best actor that year for Scent of a Woman, a movie I would highly recommend you watch.
Like ya girl, you warm my heart. Don't feel bad about getting emotional, this movie gets me every time, one of the most deep and profound pieces of cinema I've ever seen and gets more so every time I see it.

Loved this movie one of those you can watch often. Walter reminds me of my grandpa a vietnam vet, hard ass, when he's teaching you something you better pay attention, but when he cares and loves some one he will go to the end of the earth to make them happy.
One of Clint Eastwood best of the later Clint Eastwood. Million Dollar Baby is a good one also for this decade of Clint. Many of my friends compare me to Clint in this movie. 😆 can't wait for your reaction
In the US, if someone is on your property, such as in your back yard, no, you normally can't shoot them. If they are in your house or are trying to break in, some states allow the use of force. If your life is in danger or your feel if your life is in danger, you have the right to self defense.
@@toddwright7567The Wild West actually wasn’t as wild as entertainment media would have you believe. Turns out people were much more polite to avoid getting ended as movies and TV would portray happening all the time.
@@NOLAgenX That's stuff existed. You are right it is way overblown by Hollywood. But some of the craziest stories are actually even crazier when you learn how they actually went down. The revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio was a lot more action driven for the movie but the guy actually surviving was way more impressive even without the crazy Indian stuff and the dead son that the movie threw in. He survived For an entire winter and Spring in one of the worst winters that area had ever seen with nothing but a bear hide that he was wrapped in. My parents used to own the property that shares a northern border with the farm property that Jesse James was living on when Robert Ford Assasinated him. They said at the time it wasnt a big deal. There was a sign on the house telling that info but that was all. Years later Brad Pitt played Jesse James in that movie and a few years after that my parents drov3 us by the old property. It was gone to make room for some tour group office for a tour that only existed for about 4 years before going defunct. Sorry random unasked for info but I never get to share it lol
In America defense laws involving guns depend on the state. "Castle doctrine" allows one to shoot threatening trespassers. After a break-in, my dad talked to a ploiceman who pointed out several objects in the room that a tresspasser might use to appear threatening, lol. In other places, owning a gun is akin to being a criminal itself. Im not a gun nut but I do have a shotgun and if you try to come in to my home uninvited, you wont make it past the threshold of my door.
When Tao spoke Korean to the officer, who spoke it back got me. At that point he cared for Walt much more than any friend he ever had and just "What happened?!?" wasnt enough to show how upset he really was. The officer backing off of his stance and responding on Korean showed he grasped just how much Walt meant to Tao and acted sympathetic towards his loss by answering his question. Almost seems like he kind of was comforting him. **edit** my mistake, didn't realize the family was Hmong. I realized the priest said after the fact too. Not sure what language was spoken at the end then because I read that Hmong speak many languages**
Love watching people watch this movie. They hate Walt from the start at the end they're crying Also very impressed how smart you are and understand things that people here don't
My grandpa actually introduced me to this movie once I was of age to watch😂 as you can see why. But once I noticed how “Walt” personality and temper but also whole hearted he is…. Reminds me of my grandpa. So every time this movie plays on tv, we watch it together or he’ll let me know it’s on.💕The ending still makes me cry as much as it did the first time.
You picked a great one! Clint is one of my top favorites and his films never disappoint. My first for him was Dirty Harry. A truly iconic film! And definitely give his westerns a watch (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 2 Mules for Sister Sarah, High Plains Drifter, Unforgiven, Pale Rider) they are all most excellent👍🏻🤘🏻
Your such a smart and cute lil lady 😊....I love Romanian people, my next door neighbor years ago was from old Transylvania, he was a great intelligent man, knew many languages and actually was in the French foreign legion when he was younger. Never met a bad person from Romania, very giving and personable and understanding of life.
It's a metaphor. In Catholicism people are considered the lambs of God and Christ the Shephard. Also the congregations are considered "flocks" and the priests "the shephards" responsible for their communities. Thus why the priest use the word flock. (We have the luxury of being Orthodox where there aren't really the same emphasis on these metaphors)
I have heard Pastors/Preachers/Priests from Various Denominations call their Church Attendees/Congregations "Flock" not just Catholic..... Maybe cause I grew up in the Midwest in Farm Country so that is an easy reference for that region......
Fantastic reaction. I've not met many Romanians, but from a cultural point of view, I've always felt a bond with people from Romania, Italy, Greece and that part of the world. All the best from New Zealand.
In the US it's not an absolute right to shoot someone on your property. There has to be a reasonable fear of harm and an inability to escape the situation. That is just a general idea. Some states are less strict some are more strict. In my state a man was convicted of murder for killing a couple kids who got lost and accidentally pulled into his drive way. He said he was scared and shot them. It didn't meet any standard for him to actually be in real gear for his life.
Kentucky, where I live, you don’t have to be able to flee, but you do have to have a reasonable threat of harm. Just someone being on your property doesn’t elevate to the level of being able to use lethal force. Someone breaking into your home is definitely enough, but breaking into your detached garage…only if you confronted them and they weren’t fleeing the property. Kentucky has another weird clause that I don’t know if other states have though, but it also warrants lethal force if someone is trying to burn your house or barn. From the outside looking in that seems like a weird law, but where it comes from is super rich people having extremely expensive horses. So the law that you can use lethal force to keep someone from burning your house or barn is mainly to protect expensive race horses lol
@@wonderweasle2212lmao every other person on Earth sees how Walt changed, and how he found value and family in the people he used to see as lower than himself. Dude, you’re trolling and trying to bait people into an argument where you say he was never racist, right? Right? 😂😂
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 Clint was hilarious when to get Ayatollah to shut up gave him a beer & called him a Hippie. And, then, Rockin Rolla said something like, "Hippie?, only the ones who have been freeze dried."
@@raybernal6829 - I have yet tp see that one but it's on my list. Oh shit, I forgot Spacecowboys. Cool cast to accompany CE. I like the part where he tells the MIT guy, that he should try & get his $ back from MIT.
Thank you for sharing that part about as a Romanian you're going all out with what you got to feed guests. I'm an American they're probably getting orange juice and oreos I know it doesn't go together but before I break out the good stuff I wanna see how this goes 😂
It's a special one, isn't it? Such a wonderful message. Thank you for sharing this one with us, Bisscute. I very much enjoyed rewatching it with you. 🙂
This is a true story. I live in Detroit where this takes place. I loved watching you watch this. Got to learn a lot about you, your beliefs, how you were raised.
@20:55ish..... "I'm having my suspicious eye" with ding-dong, -click-clack-and charlie-chan.... =X-D I've seen this a million times and this scene always gets me!
"In The Line of Fire" is a terrific Eastwood movie, Biss, fantastic acting by several great actors, great plot, extremely suspenseful! Biss... Your commentary is much louder than the movie dialog. In case you weren't aware. ❤I love your content, sweetie. Music vids too.
This movie reminds me of my father. He was from that generation. He had his buddies, hung out at the Legion hall, and otherwise had little interaction with the modern world. When my mother passed away, he was exposed to more of the modern world.
There are so many Clint Eastwood movies to choose from. Some (not all) of the must watch movies are, in order: Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good the Bad and the Ugly (Collectively known as The Dollars Trilogy), Two Mules For Sister Sarah, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, Unforgiven, and The Dirty Harry movies. That's a good start. Everyone in Hollywood would jump at the chance to work on a movie if Clint Eastwood was the director. He started as an actor and is an actor's director. Forgot to mention some of his comedies, like Any Which Way But Loose, etc.
Great reaction! Clint Eastwood is a legend with many great movies under his belt - and some that are ok. One of the many things I liked about this movie was how Tao's gang leader cousin kept rubbing Tao's head. Then we find out later when Walt pats a little girl's head how wrong that is in their culture. Walt said a lot of very harsh things (both culturally and racially) but he was consistent with everyone, even to his Italian barber and his Irish construction friend. Joking with him rather than being offended is the best way to handle him. This is a lesson everyone should take wisdom from. Especially in today's culture where so many people are getting offended so easily.
9:25 You're referencing the Castle Doctrine, and you're partially correct on how its legality. First, not every state in the US abides by the castle doctrine, so you kind of have to do a little research to figure out if it applies. Second, the castle doctrine is predicated on the idea that every person is owed a level of sanctity in their own residence, and thus any uninvited intrusions are assumed to be the a direct threat to the wellbeing of the residents. If you know your intruder is not a threat, then that legal defense is not valid.
If you are not born and raised in a country and it's not your first and most comfortable language you are not "Polish-American" or any-American this or that. You are just American. Nothing Polish about that man at all. Not even his looks.
@@andreasrademacher5715 The heritage and genetics of the character (not Clint Eastwood himself) are of Polish extraction. Being "American" is not a uniform, monolithic experience. Unless you're indigenous, your ancestors came from another country sometime in the last five centuries. When someone is described as Anglo, or German, or Irish, etc "-American" they are describing their family's heritage, not claiming to be from those countries. Walt Kowalski was an American, who's family and ancestors emigrated from Poland, I.E. a Polish American.
@@Unpainted_Huffhines I know, what you meant. It's just BS in any European view. As much as "African Americans". To me an "Irish American" and an "African American" are WAAY more similar, than a "white" British and a "white" Spanish person.
@@andreasrademacher5715 If you knew what I meant, why did you feel the need to chime in to explain there was "nothing Polish" about the character of Walt Kowalski? You can bet Walt's parents (or grandparents) were as Polish as anybody in the old country is today, and they probably passed down cultural traditions to the successive generations. I've never understood this defensiveness in Europeans about the subject. Some Americans value and celebrate their ancestry and cultural heritage in addition to their "American-ness." How does that negatively affect you? Why do you care about it so much? Myself, I am a mutt. Ancestry mostly from Low Germany, Alsace-Lorainne, and Croatia. The rest is indigenous. I've never really attached myself to an ethnic identity, I have too many. It's among the "pure" ethnicity people who get really attached to their heritage. Mostly the descendants of Irish and Italian immigrants, but you'll find Polish, Greek, others, etc.
No such thing as "gun culture" God made men but Samuel Colt made them equal. Imagine if only the criminals or the strong had power over everyone and everything.
Walt's transition was incredible. He was an equal opportunity verbal abuser. He learned that some of the people he disliked most were actually not bad. In fact, most were good. Walt's sacrifice for the betterment of people's life is what's celebrated. Acceptance is good. Just because somebody's different from you doesn't make them evil. Get to know them and make an educated decision.
What a lot of people don't get is Walt's insults are almost a sign of respect, ballbusting as we call it was actually only done with people you liked. Just like when you're holding a roast and you're roasting somebody you only do it for somebody you like you don't do it for somebody you just like. That's exactly why he liked Sue much right away because she had the guts to give it back to him, and she got it that he was not meaning like what it sounds like.
Unforgiven is a great western, It's not the usual shoot'em up movie. It shows that taking another life is not as easy as just pulling the trigger on a gun. For a mindless comedy "Every Which Way But Loose" is a good watch. Thanks for the great reaction. Your values are so refreshing.
Great reaction (as usual) to a great movie! Thanks for letting us watch with you. God bless you! Oh, and my wife's family is from Czechoslovakia (her Dad's side, who came over when he was 5) and Poland (her Mom's side...who was born in the U.S.). So not too far from you! Of course, way before your time! Again, God bless you, and keep you!
if you really think about it, Walt’s last true confession was to Tao through the gate when he locked him in before chosing his fate some call a warriors death.
I always appreciate watching you have thoughts and feelings that are in line with my own. This was an easy movie to appreciate and look forward to your next choice.
Madelina, if I did not know better I would say Clint Eastwood modeled the Character of Walt after my very own grandpa. Right down to the facial expressions and growling and giant amount of love and respect he had for those that made it past his hard exterior demeanor. I do miss that old man.
Fine choice Miss Bisscute. 👍👍👍Clint is a film legend Directing and acting movies, for future reactions I recommend you 2 classics from him: the good, the bad and the ugly (il buono, il brutto, il cativo 1966) with young Clint acting and Unforgiven (Clint directing and win the Oscar). Both westerns you will like.😉
This movie is on my top 10-list even before meating my today love-of-my-life who just happens to come from the noth or Vietnam as well. Today it hits even harder because of this. It's a real rollercoaster where you can smile, feel pain, be mad and then laugh again just to start crying... I really like Eeastwood for taking so many first time actors to this and it really feels like it's grounded.
@20:37 Bisscute 😃😍 your intuition and eye for detail is so strong, nothing gets past you, I want to just screenshot those eyes and put them as my screen saver 😇
Clint Eastwood is a living legend within Hollywood and he's made so many classics it's difficult to recommend what to watch. Unforgiven is definitely a must watch and Dirty Harry is also a classic. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is one of his best known westerns and a great film. Those would be a few good films to start with. I'd definitely recommend checking out as much of his filmography as possible.
This is my favorite reaction you’ve ever done. Your intelligence and your personality really shines in this one you get it even with the cultural differences. I have watched so many different people react to this film and you are right in there. It’s just wonderful. I hope you know you are a very cool, smart woman. And very confident and not afraid to just be yourself. And I’m older than you, so I won’t mention the beauty. It doesn’t even matter. Thank you for the entertainment.
Really enjoyed your reaction Bisscute. Good movie. Emotionally moving. Walt definitely had some issues/rough edges. Much of it shaped by his war trauma, but even in his old age was able to change for the better and his actions showed he was a man with a good heart. Walts toughness and his garage full of tools reminds me so much of my grandfather. He and my dad taught me how to work on cars and fix/build things. I miss him deeply, but he lived to 100. Walts family really is horrible/selfish A-holes. I'm so happy Walt gave the 1972 Ford Grand Torino to Thao.
First thing I do before watching Biss react is hit the LIKE BUTTON! because no matter what the movie is she makes me smile. Just like her i get really invested in to whatever movie I watch and our reactions are very similar, she doesn't hold back , I love it Thanks Biss!
Biss, I was curious, you mentioned you were raised in the orthodox faith. Obviously Catholicism played a huge part in this. Certainly you noticed the main character was of Polish origin. In the US, if you viewed a map of the US indicating which religion was most common, you’d find that where the Poles, Italians and Irish settled, that’s where Catholicism is most common. In the orthodox faith, is there confession? Do you go to a priest to confess?
I love this movie. It reminds me of my Pops. He was kinda of a bitter man... could be pretty blunt. My pops was like a mix of Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and George Carlin... if you know any of those people. He could be witty and funny... but then be scary... But that was my Pops. This movie reminds me a lot of him. Handy man... could fix about anything ... took good care of things. But was harsh sometimes when he'd say something to you. Anyway... enjoyed your reaction to this movie.
I'll give you four more underreacted movies by him in my humble opinion. The first one High Plains Drifter, from the early '70s. The next one, The outlaw Josey Wales. Next a hardly reacted to movie by his which is a comedy. Came out around 1977 -78. A movie called Every Which Way But loose. And last Pale Rider ! Keep up the good work.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. You actually reacted to the soundtrack a while ago. The Danish Symphony orchestra. Also Pale Rider.
Unforgiven is a good one but might check a few westerns before that...

Didn’t notice that but, that’s one of the things that make Clint a great director
Only an insult if you let it be an insult. Or you could just fire back and have a laugh. Like the firing back better.

After a break-in, my dad talked to a ploiceman who pointed out several objects in the room that a tresspasser might use to appear threatening, lol. In other places, owning a gun is akin to being a criminal itself. Im not a gun nut but I do have a shotgun and if you try to come in to my home uninvited, you wont make it past the threshold of my door.
When Tao spoke Korean to the officer, who spoke it back got me. At that point he cared for Walt much more than any friend he ever had and just "What happened?!?" wasnt enough to show how upset he really was. The officer backing off of his stance and responding on Korean showed he grasped just how much Walt meant to Tao and acted sympathetic towards his loss by answering his question. Almost seems like he kind of was comforting him.
**edit** my mistake, didn't realize the family was Hmong. I realized the priest said after the fact too. Not sure what language was spoken at the end then because I read that Hmong speak many languages**
Love watching people watch this movie. They hate Walt from the start at the end they're crying
Also very impressed how smart you are and understand things that people here don't
I loved this genuine reaction.
I subscribed. Thanks!
Same here!
This movie is the epitome of growth that the world needs. I loved your reaction. 😇
Omg this movie makes me CRY MY EYES OUT!! Absolutely incredible
Eastwood obviously has a lot of great movies but The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is surely if not the best then the most iconic.
My grandpa actually introduced me to this movie once I was of age to watch😂 as you can see why. But once I noticed how “Walt” personality and temper but also whole hearted he is…. Reminds me of my grandpa. So every time this movie plays on tv, we watch it together or he’ll let me know it’s on.💕The ending still makes me cry as much as it did the first time.
You picked a great one! Clint is one of my top favorites and his films never disappoint. My first for him was Dirty Harry. A truly iconic film! And definitely give his westerns a watch (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 2 Mules for Sister Sarah, High Plains Drifter, Unforgiven, Pale Rider) they are all most excellent👍🏻🤘🏻
Don't forget Outlaw Josie Wales!
Another classic!!
Your such a smart and cute lil lady 😊....I love Romanian people, my next door neighbor years ago was from old Transylvania, he was a great intelligent man, knew many languages and actually was in the French foreign legion when he was younger. Never met a bad person from Romania, very giving and personable and understanding of life.
It's a metaphor. In Catholicism people are considered the lambs of God and Christ the Shephard. Also the congregations are considered "flocks" and the priests "the shephards" responsible for their communities. Thus why the priest use the word flock.
(We have the luxury of being Orthodox where there aren't really the same emphasis on these metaphors)
No one ever says it though it’s condescending I’ve never heard a catholic priest say that and I grew up in the church.
I have heard Pastors/Preachers/Priests from Various Denominations call their Church Attendees/Congregations "Flock" not just Catholic..... Maybe cause I grew up in the Midwest in Farm Country so that is an easy reference for that region......
@@orlandocast7941 you must have always fine to Vatican 2 churches. And it's not condescending.
Fantastic reaction. I've not met many Romanians, but from a cultural point of view, I've always felt a bond with people from Romania, Italy, Greece and that part of the world. All the best from New Zealand.
In the US it's not an absolute right to shoot someone on your property. There has to be a reasonable fear of harm and an inability to escape the situation. That is just a general idea. Some states are less strict some are more strict.
In my state a man was convicted of murder for killing a couple kids who got lost and accidentally pulled into his drive way. He said he was scared and shot them. It didn't meet any standard for him to actually be in real gear for his life.
Not necessarily. It varies state to state. Ability to flee is state to state. Stepping foot on property is state to state
@@brandonhill2183that's why I said some states are more or less strict. Perhaps you should read the entire post first.
You're not required to escape in Texas but you have to fear imminent harm.
Depends on the state. Here in RI you do, it’s a Castle Doctrine state. Next door in Massachusetts you do not.
Kentucky, where I live, you don’t have to be able to flee, but you do have to have a reasonable threat of harm. Just someone being on your property doesn’t elevate to the level of being able to use lethal force. Someone breaking into your home is definitely enough, but breaking into your detached garage…only if you confronted them and they weren’t fleeing the property. Kentucky has another weird clause that I don’t know if other states have though, but it also warrants lethal force if someone is trying to burn your house or barn. From the outside looking in that seems like a weird law, but where it comes from is super rich people having extremely expensive horses. So the law that you can use lethal force to keep someone from burning your house or barn is mainly to protect expensive race horses lol
Great reaction.....I enjoyed seeing your compassion and understanding
Him finding his values in people who are 'different' was wonderful.
He always saw value in people... what are you talking about? Lol. He didn't change over the course of this movie
@@wonderweasle2212lmao every other person on Earth sees how Walt changed, and how he found value and family in the people he used to see as lower than himself.
Dude, you’re trolling and trying to bait people into an argument where you say he was never racist, right? Right? 😂😂
More like his humanity.
@butkusfan23 if he didn't like people then why was he friends with the Italian guy and the Irishman?
@@butkusfan23 yall just don't understand how the real world works
Thank you Biss. I appreciate your heartfelt reaction.😊❤
In addition to his Western stuff, I think you'd like Heartbreak Ridge, Fire Fox and In the Line of Fire!
My three fave CE movies along with this and Trouble With The Curve.
" Heartbreak Ridge " , featuring " The Ayatollah of Rock in Rollah! "
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 Clint was hilarious when to get Ayatollah to shut up gave him a beer & called him a Hippie.
And, then, Rockin Rolla said something like, "Hippie?, only the ones who have been freeze dried."
@@raybernal6829 - I have yet tp see that one but it's on my list. Oh shit, I forgot Spacecowboys. Cool cast to accompany CE.
I like the part where he tells the MIT guy, that he should try & get his $ back from MIT.
@@PanzerKunstExponent yes I forget Space Cowboys ... CE and TLJ together are awesome.
Thank you for sharing that part about as a Romanian you're going all out with what you got to feed guests. I'm an American they're probably getting orange juice and oreos I know it doesn't go together but before I break out the good stuff I wanna see how this goes 😂
Your first Clint movie. ??? Arrgghh!!! I'm feeling so old about now..
It's a special one, isn't it? Such a wonderful message. Thank you for sharing this one with us, Bisscute. I very much enjoyed rewatching it with you. 🙂
Thank You Biss I love this Movie Walt was one a Hell of a Man Reminds me of my Polish Grandpa
This is a true story. I live in Detroit where this takes place. I loved watching you watch this. Got to learn a lot about you, your beliefs, how you were raised.
@20:55ish..... "I'm having my suspicious eye" with ding-dong, -click-clack-and charlie-chan.... =X-D I've seen this a million times and this scene always gets me!
"In The Line of Fire" is a terrific Eastwood movie, Biss, fantastic acting by several great actors, great plot, extremely suspenseful!
Biss... Your commentary is much louder than the movie dialog. In case you weren't aware.
❤I love your content, sweetie. Music vids too.
This movie reminds me of my father. He was from that generation. He had his buddies, hung out at the Legion hall, and otherwise had little interaction with the modern world. When my mother passed away, he was exposed to more of the modern world.
There are so many Clint Eastwood movies to choose from. Some (not all) of the must watch movies are, in order: Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good the Bad and the Ugly (Collectively known as The Dollars Trilogy), Two Mules For Sister Sarah, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, Unforgiven, and The Dirty Harry movies. That's a good start. Everyone in Hollywood would jump at the chance to work on a movie if Clint Eastwood was the director. He started as an actor and is an actor's director. Forgot to mention some of his comedies, like Any Which Way But Loose, etc.
Click clack, dingdong & Charlie chan… hahahahahaha best line 😂
5:07 me living alone, washing my own dishes and cooking for myself😑
Great reaction! Clint Eastwood is a legend with many great movies under his belt - and some that are ok.
One of the many things I liked about this movie was how Tao's gang leader cousin kept rubbing Tao's head. Then we find out later when Walt pats a little girl's head how wrong that is in their culture.
Walt said a lot of very harsh things (both culturally and racially) but he was consistent with everyone, even to his Italian barber and his Irish construction friend. Joking with him rather than being offended is the best way to handle him. This is a lesson everyone should take wisdom from. Especially in today's culture where so many people are getting offended so easily.
What a beautiful reaction to one of my favorite movies. You’re so awesome and genuine Miss Biss 🤗🥰🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
Thank you for a beautiful reaction. Take care.
9:25 You're referencing the Castle Doctrine, and you're partially correct on how its legality. First, not every state in the US abides by the castle doctrine, so you kind of have to do a little research to figure out if it applies. Second, the castle doctrine is predicated on the idea that every person is owed a level of sanctity in their own residence, and thus any uninvited intrusions are assumed to be the a direct threat to the wellbeing of the residents. If you know your intruder is not a threat, then that legal defense is not valid.
Clint Eastwood plays a Polish American character here, so it's not surprising it hits close to your Eastern European sensibilities.
If you are not born and raised in a country and it's not your first and most comfortable language you are not "Polish-American" or any-American this or that. You are just American. Nothing Polish about that man at all. Not even his looks.
@@andreasrademacher5715 The heritage and genetics of the character (not Clint Eastwood himself) are of Polish extraction.
Being "American" is not a uniform, monolithic experience. Unless you're indigenous, your ancestors came from another country sometime in the last five centuries.
When someone is described as Anglo, or German, or Irish, etc "-American" they are describing their family's heritage, not claiming to be from those countries. Walt Kowalski was an American, who's family and ancestors emigrated from Poland, I.E. a Polish American.
@@Unpainted_Huffhines I know, what you meant. It's just BS in any European view. As much as "African Americans". To me an "Irish American" and an "African American" are WAAY more similar, than a "white" British and a "white" Spanish person.
@@andreasrademacher5715 If you knew what I meant, why did you feel the need to chime in to explain there was "nothing Polish" about the character of Walt Kowalski?
You can bet Walt's parents (or grandparents) were as Polish as anybody in the old country is today, and they probably passed down cultural traditions to the successive generations.
I've never understood this defensiveness in Europeans about the subject. Some Americans value and celebrate their ancestry and cultural heritage in addition to their "American-ness." How does that negatively affect you? Why do you care about it so much?
Myself, I am a mutt. Ancestry mostly from Low Germany, Alsace-Lorainne, and Croatia. The rest is indigenous. I've never really attached myself to an ethnic identity, I have too many.
It's among the "pure" ethnicity people who get really attached to their heritage. Mostly the descendants of Irish and Italian immigrants, but you'll find Polish, Greek, others, etc.
@@Unpainted_Huffhinesvirtue signal much?
Unforgiven (1992) and Mystic River (2003) are my favorite movies directed by Clint Eastwood.
What a great reaction Biss. May be my favorite that you have done.
No such thing as "gun culture" God made men but Samuel Colt made them equal. Imagine if only the criminals or the strong had power over everyone and everything.
Yeah, it’s called government
im a almost 40 year old dude and ive seen this movie like 20 times and i still cry everytime
Walt's transition was incredible. He was an equal opportunity verbal abuser. He learned that some of the people he disliked most were actually not bad. In fact, most were good. Walt's sacrifice for the betterment of people's life is what's celebrated. Acceptance is good. Just because somebody's different from you doesn't make them evil. Get to know them and make an educated decision.
What a lot of people don't get is Walt's insults are almost a sign of respect, ballbusting as we call it was actually only done with people you liked. Just like when you're holding a roast and you're roasting somebody you only do it for somebody you like you don't do it for somebody you just like. That's exactly why he liked Sue much right away because she had the guts to give it back to him, and she got it that he was not meaning like what it sounds like.
Prejudice equality, everyone gets shit on
Get a clue, Walt was not racist, he didn't dislike his neighbors, learn to know people by what they do, not what they say.
Unforgiven is a great western, It's not the usual shoot'em up movie. It shows that taking another life is not as easy as just pulling the trigger on a gun. For a mindless comedy "Every Which Way But Loose" is a good watch. Thanks for the great reaction. Your values are so refreshing.
This is arguably Clint's finest movie.
Great reaction (as usual) to a great movie! Thanks for letting us watch with you. God bless you! Oh, and my wife's family is from Czechoslovakia (her Dad's side, who came over when he was 5) and Poland (her Mom's side...who was born in the U.S.). So not too far from you! Of course, way before your time! Again, God bless you, and keep you!
Good thing Eastwood didn't make the movie in 2024. Those thugs would be out of jail by morning and the sacrifice would mean nothing.
if you really think about it, Walt’s last true confession was to Tao through the gate when he locked him in before chosing his fate some call a warriors death.
Он не стареет! Мужает только с годами! Он всегда будет хорошим парнем и плохим парням не стоит становиться на его пути!❤
I always appreciate watching you have thoughts and feelings that are in line with my own. This was an easy movie to appreciate and look forward to your next choice.
Adorable reaction. Well done. Bravo Hagi! Thanks for sharing.
You are now my favourite channel - excellent work!!
Will watch later! Million Dollar Baby next!
That grinding teeth speaking, that killer gaze, that sandy voice, "gotta light?", man.
Madelina, if I did not know better I would say Clint Eastwood modeled the Character of Walt after my very own grandpa. Right down to the facial expressions and growling and giant amount of love and respect he had for those that made it past his hard exterior demeanor. I do miss that old man.
Clint sings and plays piano at the end. He's a old school jazz guy back from the 70s. Oh yeah, he did 4 Dirty Harry movies, all worth watching!
Fine choice Miss Bisscute. 👍👍👍Clint is a film legend Directing and acting movies, for future reactions I recommend you 2 classics from him: the good, the bad and the ugly (il buono, il brutto, il cativo 1966) with young Clint acting and Unforgiven (Clint directing and win the Oscar). Both westerns you will like.😉
This movie is on my top 10-list even before meating my today love-of-my-life who just happens to come from the noth or Vietnam as well. Today it hits even harder because of this.
It's a real rollercoaster where you can smile, feel pain, be mad and then laugh again just to start crying...
I really like Eeastwood for taking so many first time actors to this and it really feels like it's grounded.
"Castle Laws" here in the US vary from state to state. castle laws are the laws governing how you can protect your property while using a firearm.
@20:37 Bisscute 😃😍 your intuition and eye for detail is so strong, nothing gets past you, I want to just screenshot those eyes and put them as my screen saver 😇
20:53 You should totally put " I'm having me suspicion eye on" I love that
Three words, "Excellent, heartfelt review".
Brilliant as always Biss...although ill never not be bothered by seeing your tears of pain and sorrow. Sending hugs and ❤
Clint Eastwood is a living legend within Hollywood and he's made so many classics it's difficult to recommend what to watch. Unforgiven is definitely a must watch and Dirty Harry is also a classic. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is one of his best known westerns and a great film. Those would be a few good films to start with. I'd definitely recommend checking out as much of his filmography as possible.
Beautiful movie! One of Eastwoods best! I love how he gave Tao direction. Or at the very least, a means to find his direction.
This is my favorite reaction you’ve ever done. Your intelligence and your personality really shines in this one you get it even with the cultural differences. I have watched so many different people react to this film and you are right in there. It’s just wonderful. I hope you know you are a very cool, smart woman. And very confident and not afraid to just be yourself. And I’m older than you, so I won’t mention the beauty. It doesn’t even matter. Thank you for the entertainment.
Really enjoyed your reaction Bisscute.
Good movie.
Emotionally moving.
Walt definitely had some issues/rough edges. Much of it shaped by his war trauma, but even in his old age was able to change for the better and his actions showed he was a man with a good heart. Walts toughness and his garage full of tools reminds me so much of my grandfather. He and my dad taught me how to work on cars and fix/build things.
I miss him deeply, but he lived to 100.
Walts family really is horrible/selfish A-holes. I'm so happy Walt gave the 1972 Ford Grand Torino to Thao.
First thing I do before watching Biss react is hit the LIKE BUTTON! because no matter what the movie is she makes me smile. Just like her i get really invested in to whatever movie I watch and our reactions are very similar, she doesn't hold back , I love it Thanks Biss!
Biss, I was curious, you mentioned you were raised in the orthodox faith. Obviously Catholicism played a huge part in this.
Certainly you noticed the main character was of Polish origin.
In the US, if you viewed a map of the US indicating which religion was most common, you’d find that where the Poles, Italians and Irish settled, that’s where Catholicism is most common.
In the orthodox faith, is there confession?
Do you go to a priest to confess?
"Gentle now the tender breeze blows".
I like the movie but the song in the end is one of my top 10 favorite songs.
I love this movie. It reminds me of my Pops. He was kinda of a bitter man... could be pretty blunt. My pops was like a mix of Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and George Carlin... if you know any of those people. He could be witty and funny... but then be scary... But that was my Pops. This movie reminds me a lot of him. Handy man... could fix about anything ... took good care of things. But was harsh sometimes when he'd say something to you. Anyway... enjoyed your reaction to this movie.
Loved your reaction you seem like such a good person.
Thank you so much, glad you loved it
Glad you liked it, too many good movies from him to suggest. My picks Pale Rider, Flags of Our Fathers, Heartbreak Ridge
I'll give you four more underreacted movies by him in my humble opinion. The first one High Plains Drifter, from the early '70s. The next one, The outlaw Josey Wales. Next a hardly reacted to movie by his which is a comedy. Came out around 1977 -78. A movie called Every Which Way But loose. And last Pale Rider ! Keep up the good work.
When I saw that you were reacting to this movie I postponed cooking my dinner to watch it 😂 A match made in heaven! You didn’t disappoint ;) ❤
The perfect reaction. You read this movie like it was literature, picking up subtexts and situations that many people miss.
