“Gran Torino is great.”

My wife and I are movie buffs....simply enjoy for entertainment sake. Something in common at 41 years of marriage. A sober date night.

What is striking about Gran Torino is Eastwood.

He is 78. He co-wrote, produced, starred, directed and sang part of the song at the end.

He certainly doesn’t need money. He is a professional film person, bar none.

Another aspect of Eastwood directed films: No stereotype or formula—all quite different.

We try to see every one.

Yes, Mr. Eastwood is a unique and remarkable talent. Also a very nice guy. He makes his movies very efficiently, with no wasted expenditures, in a pleasant atmosphere. And all of the films are good - some are great. Old school...
