Excellent summary of a great Eastwood movie (Gran Torino).
Balding....you’ve missed the mark so many times on this movie, it may be best if you just bow out of this thread, entirely.
Gran Torino takes place in Michigan, btw. Eastwood’s character retired from the Ford auto plant that made....his Gran Torino. He built it, then bought it.
But, you likely weren’t paying enough attention to the movie (fake ending and location comments), to know this.
Take care.
It has been along time since I saw the movie, I think it’s been 10 years, and I’d forgotten that it did happen in Michigan, but as I pointed out, it doesn’t really matter.
I went to the movie expecting justice to prevail, instead I saw the good guy gunned down, and bunch of gangbangers who killed him turned over to a corrupt and non-effective justice system.
In real life most or all of those killers would be back on the streets by now.
Not the same Clint Eastwood I watched over the years.
Eastwood always made sure justice would prevail.
I can’t see how that happened in Gran Torino.
