InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
fmwongmd A good storyline showcasing racism and humanity. Good acting, well directed.
CalebBuckingham It's very slow at first. However, near the second act the story gets to be very interesting, and has a shocking ending.
krolewskimichael One of Clint's absolute best. I love this movie. I have to admit the humour can be inappropriate at times, but you can see Eastwood's influence all over this movie. To the casual observer this movie may seem cruel and heartless but when given a chance it really shows tough love a great heart. Some of the jokes and comments made are very racist, and a lot of F-bombs, not for people who are sensitve to these kinds of things. On the surface Korean war veteran Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) seems to dislike his Hmong neighbours but deep down he really does love them, as is revealed as the movie unfolds. At times you might wonder where the film is headed, if anywhere, but seen to the very end you finally get it!! One of the best of his illustrious career.
valadas This movie is indeed about human relations the bad and the good ones in the American mid-west and among ethnic different people. The story is a simply one rather well shown and told but not particularly deep in psychological terms. A widower Korean War veteran lives alone in a neighbourhood that is now inhabited only by Asians. In the house next to him there is a family whose young boy Thao is harassed and bullyed by a gang of other youg Asians. Walt Kowalski, our war veteran begins to react rudely and uncongenially to these neighbours but after an unhappy incident created by the young Thao he changes his attitude and starts a friendly relationship with Thao and his family and tries even to protect them against the gang above and takes revenge against them. His relations with his two sons are not good and he has got a cancer which puts him in a poor health state. All this will end in a dramatic and tragic way in the end.
