What did you think BB? My Dad HATED it, but he thinks the Clint of the old days is wonderful and I dont think he likes the modern Clint.

I liked 'Gran Torino',from the point of view that it had shadows of the 'old' Clint Eastwood...especially at the end.

<spoiler below,for those who have not seen it yet>

When he precipates the confrontation between himself and the Gang..there's more than a shade of his 'The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly' trilogy, but the outcome has more....significance.It reminded me more of John Wayne in 'The Shootist',his final movie.

I've just finished watching Ken Burns excellent series of documentaries detailing 'The American Civil War'.I left the experience feeling that I knew more than when I started out, and surely that is the aim of such a piece of work.
