Exactly how I feel most days.
Also being called “Dirty Harry in Retirement.”
It must be the Friday doldrums, but I have no clue what you’re seeing and talking about.
Quality of posts has declined since YouTube .
The plot appears similar to Charles Bronson’s “Death Wish” minus the opening assault/rape.
Clint has become too touchy feely PC in his last movies. I’ll probably skip this flick.
I knew of a British veteran of the Burma Campaign, that drove the Japanese out of southern Asia, an insanely brutal fight of small arms and hand to hand combat that stretched over much of the country. He had retired to Arizona.
The young man who decided to rob his house certainly picked the wrong neighborhood. By coincidence, it was full of old men of the hardest schools of their time. And the robber selected one of the worst in the Burma vet, who was home at the time. A man “who had seen death and the devil, and captured them in his eyes.”
Across the street lived a retired FBI agent, who several hours later decided to pay a visit to the Burma vet. Called in, he saw the vet sitting across from a young man in great distress. A handgun sat on a coffee table between them.
The young man was terrified, face and shirt wet with tears and slobber, and he had soiled himself while sitting there. The retired FBI agent immediately called the police who found the young man to be uninjured, but incapable of moving, his arms and legs paralyzed with fear, when they removed him.
The Burma vet was unmoved, and remarked that the chair would need to be cleaned, but would not discuss the incident. The robber required considerable psychiatric care, though he had no history of problems.
BTT. This is one of Clint’s best movies destined for an Oscar or 2. I just finished watching it online. This will be the first movies in years that I actually go to the theater to watch. see link to watch. http://www.watch-movies.net/movies/gran_torino/
