Title: Go see Gran Torino
Post by: flexingtonsteele on January 14, 2009, 12:23:13 AM
One of the best movies ive seen in a long time. Clint Eastwoods character had to have used every ethnic slur known to man and was absolutely awesome in his role.

Heres just the slurs I can remember.
Gook
Chink
Chinamen
Wop
Spook
Dago
Kike
Zipperhead
Polack
Slantface
guy

And many many others, any movie that can use that many derogatory terms in less than a 2 hour period deserves anyones viewing attention. But dont take my word for it, go see it, its bad ass.

no it was mainly a story about eastwood and an asian family next door.

And actually there was only one scene with blacks in the entire movie, but it did give clint time to spout off a "spook" reference.........its definetely an oldie but good racial slur!! ;D

I think the one slur that wasn't used, that (given how he does not hold anything else back) I was surprised he didn't use, was the N word.

I learned "slope" though. Not sure where that came from, but it's new to me.

Screener is a little washed out sure, and has a missing minute of footage but its still clearly a dvd screener and not vhs.More than watchable unless you are sitting 5 inches away from a 1080p lcd.

MOST screeners are dvd rips, they come on dvd, are dvd quality, and the old style turning the picture black and white every 10 mins and logos that cover a large part of the screen have been phased out, go see the Defiance screener for example, is perfect dvd quality and has ac3 audio.

WOW...I though Clint Eastwood was DEAD already...

How is it he is using such terms as WOP, Polack and Kike??? These are terms describing whites!!!!! Slant Face I believe is a derogatory term used against people who are retarded. DAMN...that old cracker has lost what little mind, if any, he ever had. I will wait for it to go online...no need wasting my hard earned money..

But he did call the black kids "spooks" which i think is far more creative than guy.

HAHA! both awesome scenes. I especially liked the Super Spade comment.

And what was funny, was that more people laughed out loud during this movie than any comedy ive seen in recent memory, and it was a Clint Eastwood film for crying out loud :)

Creative yes. I was just saying, he said everything else politically incorrect, why not throw that one in?
Probably knew he could make the movie as he did, without too much hoopla. But if he used that term, he'd be criticized across the board and back.

Gran Torino was written by Nick Schenk. The film's programmatic depiction of Walt's transition from xenophobe to grudging member of a "changing" America is hardly subtle . It appears to be a pretty formulaic piece about how the old geezer becomes the unlikely protector of a family of foreigners that move in next door, and in particular a surrogate father-figure to the teen son and daughter. And they’re not merely foreigners, which would disturb him in any case; they’re Southeast Asian (Hmong, specifically), and so look very much like the “gooks” he killed during service in the Korean War.
Though this basic “reform of the codger” plot has been told many times, not only on the big screen but on the tube, what sets it apart in this case is both the degree of prejudice the old coot expresses—Eastwood's character Walt uses about every racial epithet you can imagine—and the fact that it’s not really offensive because it is all what we secretly think on a daily basis. The affection for Eastwood that a viewer automatically brings with him, allows the mainstream to laugh at the character’s "misguided" attitudes rather than become frightened by them. Eastwood's Walt Kowalski becomes a sort of spindly twenty-first century version of Archie Bunker, and you know that whatever he says, there’s a heart beating within him that will eventually win out. The picture thus delivers the message that there’s a PC multiculturalist inside every racist just straining to get out, no matter how set in his ways he might be.
While becoming embroiled in the Third World hell that urban Detroit has become, Walt Kowalski's racial sense of justice, morality and order won’t allow him to ignore some of the more egregious behavior he witnesses. He attempts to civilize the Muds around him by example through service and empathy, yet the film's writer makes it plain that there’s no place left in the world for Walt and those like him. But while Walt and his ilk may be doomed, they are useful to a point.
The obligatory uplifting postscript—extremely corny, but strengthening Walt’s symbolic value as the last of his kind—shrewdly reiterates the multicult agenda, albeit in a lopsided, hammy and overdetermined manner.
I am a Clint Eastwood fan, but I found this film to be below average tripe and—with Eastwood's claim that with this film, he retires from acting—a disappointing farewell from a beloved film icon.

So this films tells us that we should be super happy and ecstatic about our proud nation being overrun by ignorant, uneducated, drug dealing, crime committing, neighborhood destroying, women raping, welfare sucking, over-breeding rats and thus turned into Dubai, India or some other 3rd world hell hole?

Splendid!
