    I love this scene. Walt feels more "at home" with a people from another country, than he does with his own children. I saw this movie when it released in a theatre, and I still believe it is one of Clint Eastwood's best roles. I still watch it, 8 years later, because the moral is so beautiful to me. Props to Clint Eastwood.

    The last 25 seconds communicates so much without any words. Walt is definitely taking the shaman's words to heart as he scans the room - happy family members socializing, laughing together and enjoying one another's company. It's clear that in his heart Walt regrets not being a better father - which is common for men his age who lived a hard life.

      To be fair, Walt’s family are kind of selfish and just shit. And a lot of that can’t be necessarily blamed on Walt so much as the culture of modern America, which wouldn’t resonate with a man like Walt who was taught to think about more than yourself.
      He simply had more in common with the Hmong community

    • @CopiousDoinksLLC
      @CopiousDoinksLLC Рік тому +14

      I'm not sure it's even that he regrets being a bad father so much as Walt feels as if he's made the wrong choice fighting for a culture which clearly doesn't value family or the elderly. He feels as if the Hmong people embody all of the virtues that he thought the West did before it lost its principles in the name of 'freedom'.

    The moment the shaman states that Walt made a serious mistake in his life that he regrets, that's the moment his perspective on the Hmong begins to change. He knows exactly what he's referring to.
    He then stands up and takes a look at the Hmong and how happy they are together in their culture, whereas he's ultimately unhappy toward the end of his life despite all that he's achieved. I believe it's what helps motivate him in the end, when he dies to save them.

      He died to save them but he died happy because of them. The shaman was right and it totally juxtaposes the birthday horoscope he read earlier. (Which also comes true by the end of the film). Walt seems so much happier once he let Sue and Thao into his life. They were like family to him.

    As a hmong person I’m surprised at how many things this movie got right with depicting hmong life in America. One piece of dialogue that really stuck out to me was when the sister of thao said “the girls go to college and the boys go to jail” it perfectly encapsulates what most hmong males go through. Hell I went through that. Granted I would never try to commit a crime but we really don’t grow up with any sort of guidance or anything. Especially not from our dads. I’ve seen countless amounts of hmong guys in my extended family and stuff just join the dumb gangs because they didn’t know what to do. It’s one of the reason why I distanced myself from my culture.
    Another thing, the grandma is so accurate 😭 it’s so fucking weird how they’re able to capture a hmong grandma. THEY NEVER SHUT UP! They somehow manage to find ways to run their mouths over and over again! They’re so stubborn all the time too, and ignorant.
    Overall, I liked this movie. It was fun to watch and it honestly made me reflect on myself and my own culture. It somehow captures what the struggles of hmong people in America is like.

    Besides having more in common with the Hmong family than his biological one, one thing that struck me is how the Hmong family respected their elders. Walt's kids and grandkids on the other hand already had him in the grave not one minute after his wife's funeral. Between his daughter downright asking for the car after he's dead as well as his son giving him brochures for assisted living centers.

      Clint actually considers himself more of a Libertarian than a Conservative. Actual Liberals are also starting to go towards a Libertarian path since the left in America has gotten away from traditional Liberal ideology ie freedom of thought/expression/speech. Left vs right has almost become obsolete now, it has become freedom vs authoritarian.

You can watch this movie as a teen, as a young adult, as a parent, and as a senior citizen and have a different reaction each time. This was a great modern film that also plays like an older classic films of the 40s, 50s early 60s. It's already 14 years old now but I believe this movie will be a stand out "must see" to future generations if they study cinema of the early 2000s.
