Gran Torino (2008) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

Erwin Quiachon

Lovable racist who got what he deserved? Discuss....

Ken Veader

Another good film with Eastwood is A Perfect World (1993) w/ Kevin Costner

Erwin Quiachon

You like pealing back the layers of angry old men? Try "Scent of a Woman" (1992). The dirty old man is Al Pacino. What makes him so angry and dirty? It got Al Pacino his first Oscar.

Erwin Quiachon

Did Walt die because God was watching? Discuss...

Florian Meier

For Me this was one of your Best Reactions Ever !! What a Beautiful Film!! Clint is a great Movie Maker and Incredible Actor!!He will always be my favorite Actor !!! Please watch "In The Line of Fire", "Tightrope" and "Play Misty for Me", "Million Dollar Baby", "Escape from Alcatraz, "The Eiger Sanction" ,"The Gauntlet" and " A Perfect World" !!! All Incredible

Erwin Quiachon

I put this one behind Unforgiven on my favorite Clint Eastwood movies. It's a flawed classic that is very rewatchable. Like Walt, this movie is still likeable despite it's flaws.

Athos Count de la Fère

My grandfather was a Korean War vet. He was just like Walt. As a kid, I found him difficult to get to know. Obviously he was carrying some unresolved trauma. When he passed away years ago, the funeral was very very quiet at the reception afterwards. I suspect many family members didn't really know him either.

Athos Count de la Fère

Ah, the point of the film is, Walt sacrifices himself for non family members who had become his surrogate family. Walt had overcome some of his prejudices.

Erwin Quiachon

That's what makes this film so rewatchable for me. Sometimes it gets too Kum Ba Ya for me to the point of being cringy, but it never ruins the film.

David Crabtree

So much looking forward to this! I mentioned this in a previous post, but Gran Torino was filmed here in the Metro Detroit area and suburbs. Me and my dad got to meet Clint Eastwood (an amazing and humble human being, and a proud patriotic American), as the VFW scenes in the film were shot at my dad's and my VFW (Menge Post #6756) in Warren, MI. The booth they sit in was actually built by the crew for the movie, and is still used to this day! They were there shooting at the VFW for about 6 days or so. Also, the location of the hardware store and barber shop was shot in Royal Oak, MI, and my apartment at the time was just a few blocks away.

Great movie. The Clint Eastwood film I've seen the most, however, is In The Line of Fire; definitely one of his best

Florian Meier

Yes !! Incredible Film !! John Malkovich is also a perfect Villian

Florian Meier

Second !!! One of my favorite Films of both

Erwin Quiachon

The only musical comedy Clint Eastwood movie I can think of is "Paint Your Wagon"(1969). It's definitely worth a watch, but you'll never get it on YouTube because it's a musical. Clint Eastwood regretted doing it, but it was a huge hit and still a fun classic. It was an epic, big budget movie that never made back it's cost despite being a box office hit. Very controversial.

Ellie Williams

Sorry but Sad Sam is always great. Scared Sam is also very good. Thx guys!

Ed Garland

So happy this won the poll, and you were able to watch this. This is one of my favorite movies !! Thank you! 😊

Brent bmc_comix

Such a good film! I've seen it a few times now and I still get misty-eyed, so I feel ya Sam!!! Great reaction guys!!! 😊

Tostito Buddy

He got exactly what he deserved. The respect of a surrogate family, and the chance to go out with nobility and purpose instead of being eaten from the inside.

Steve Mercier

It's hard not to love this movie, or Walt--er, Mr. Kowalski--bigoted old fuck that he was. My grandfather--the only one I knew--was a bigot and a grumpy old man full of hate and insults; but, in spite of being married to one of the most wonderful women in the history of the planet (I'm biased here...but also not wrong), he never found the new layers of warmth and humanity that Walt does; and sadly, died that way. Oddly enough, that makes me love Walt more. To find a hopeful truth in art that I--and my grandfather--never found in life.

Erwin Quiachon

That's the answer I was looking for! Congratulations! You get a kiss from Daniel!!

Joe Lazarus

Guys since you liked Gran Torino, I hope you consider reacting to 'A Million Dollar Baby" , "A Perfect World" and "Play Misty For me" whenever you do another Clint Eastwood poll in the future. Loved Sam's reaction..My wife cried all night when we saw it for the first time.

Vwlss Nvwls

As many times as I have seen this I still cry every time. That's a good thing though. If movies don't stir your emotions, then they are not doing their job.

My father is not as harsh as Walt, but he would always teach me things that he considered important. One that I always do is the firm handshake, and when ever someone tries to fist bump me I say "nope, I was taught to give firm handshakes."

Guston Zimasheen

Perfect timing for release as it's Clint Eastwood's birthday on the 31st of May

Alex

I fist bump girls. They always have this cute reaction to it. Like they think it's cute or something. I learned on my own the hard way and also to lock the space between the thumb and index finger against theirs so that it's a strong handshake and you don't get a limp fish handshake where you become the girl in the exchange.

Alex

Agreed. In the Line of Fire is a great film. "Aw shit. Now I gotta put all that shit back on."

Alex

Yeah no other movie consistently makes me cry every time I see it.

Ellie Williams

In the Line of Fire is fantastic! Hope it makes a poll.

David Wilkins

Another vote for In the Line of Fire. It’s sort of like, if Harry Callahan had joined the Secret Service instead of the San Francisco PD. But I think it’s a richer and more mature story than any of the Dirty Harry movies. And I’m not saying that it’s in any way a Dirty Harry “clone”. It’s a mid-period Eastwood, where he plays an aging Secret Service agent.

PIG

That's the first time I've heard the term "Swan Song". I like it.

ShadowVessel π

Yeah, I totally thought he had a detonator in his hand and that house was gonna be toast 😂 You're initial "incredible" reaction at the end before the do-over genuinely made me tear up. 😥 Damn harmones! Lol

Chris Bruneau

Hey Dan and Sam; you finally watched my favorite movie! My Dad served combat engineers in the 24th infantry, Korea. Growing up in my house was like having Clint Eastwood as your Dad. for me--Seeing this film was an out-of-body experience, Yea, he was a crabby racist, but he had a heart of gold!!

David Crabtree

I don't think you two noticed, but the actress who played Walt's daughter in law/son's wife was "Little Marie" in Rocky Balboa.

David Crabtree

Recommendation for another great Clint Eastwoodfilm, Heartbreak Ridge from 1986.

UNC

Yes! Second Scent of a Woman! Great movie!

Carol Rocha

Excellent movie!! Surprised you haven’t seen this gem yet! You have to remember that it’s a movie meant to evoke certain emotions. It accomplishes that so well.
