Gran Torino Report A great majority of Walt’s and Thao’s differences are because of the contrasting cultures they originate from. Thao comes from the Hmong people and Walt is a Caucasian American. During the movie, the Hmong culture is expressed, the Hmong people express gratitude and thanks to people through gifts and in return, exchange for work. For example, when Thao apologized for attempting to steal Walt’s car, his mother and sister give Thao to Walt as a helping hand until his debt is paid

From beginning to end, there is narration by "Scrap"- Morgan Freeman's recognizable voice. Hillary Swank's character, Maggie, is a white-trash 31-year-old waitress in a diner. Clint Eastwood is Frankie Dunn, a boxing gym owner who has trained many promising fighters but has never been able to take them all the way to a title/money bout. Maggie decides to pursue her dream of becoming a boxer once she realizes she's in a real dead-end situation. Frankie is skeptical about women fighters, tells Maggie

Clint Eastwood I have chosen Clint Eastwood as the director I wanted to research. Clint Eastwood was not only a talented director, but he was also an exceptional actor and producer. He was born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, California. His father was Clinton Sr. and his mother was Ruth Eastwood. He also had an older sister named Jean.

Moreover, in Gran Torino Walt is a Korean War veteran with prejudices towards other races and ethnicities. He isolates himself from others and has a disconnection with his family who are different from Walt’s more traditional way of life. Despite his loneliness and prejudices he lives in a predominately lower class Hmong neighborhood. The audience first sees Walt act out against his neighbors during the wake for his wife when a boy, Thao, asks to borrow jumper cables. Walt immediately lashes out

Unforgiven is a western movie but can also be considered as a dark and haunting film which people considered Clint Eastwood's finest hour. This movie was set in the 1880s. After two cowboys scar a prostitute a reward is offered by her fellow whores for the death of the two men. Soon Munny is on the hunt and is later joined by Ned and the young, blind 'Schofield Kid'. The stage is set for what is perhaps the most gritty, realistic and best of Eastwood's westerns. This movie is one of the best western

about opportunity. This opportunity is either given or must be earned. Clint Eastwood knew exactly how to show example of fairness in The American Dream as an opportunity. The touching film Gran Torino shows a wonderful example of obtaining The American Dream, as well as how much opportunity is related to it. The film Gran Torino is much more than a simple message to it’s viewers. This wonderfully creative movie directed by Clint Eastwood completely puts emphasis on the opportunity given in America

beauty and daring; its detractors find it overblown and hokey”. The film is, more or less, an audiovisual version of Möbius strip, or if I may say, the poorer but still rich prequel of Cloud Atlas. Whatever one might think about it, the score itself is Clint Mansell’s best work, it moves right along the film across time and space to be a multi-layered piece of astonishing creativity.

She was about to play something : she starts a few notes that are superimposed on the non diegetic music. In total three sounds are audible at the same time : the ticking of metronome, the non diegetic music (Crawford Institue (Family secret) by Clint Mansell) and India playing the piano. In the shot India gives up in playing the piano, she seems in fact to be distracted, something is consuming her. The music enhances her internal turmoil through the low volume, slow pace but also the low timber. While

If you 're interested, you can first read Part 1 covering the 1990s or Part 2 about 2000 to 2004. In the first half of the decade, things were looking up for video game movies, as there were huge hits like Tomb Raider and Resident Evil. However, from 2005 to 2009 game adaptations were mostly underwhelming, with none making over $100 million at the box office.
