Review of Gran Torino (2008) by Carreh R — 17 Jul 2015
Kind of amazed at the good reviews for this film however not surprised. This film is so full of white supremacist pro patriarchy, pro America, pro military propaganda that it makes my blood curdle. Lone white ex Korean military man saves Hmong immigrant family from terrible Hmong gang and terrible African American hoods.
The allusions to Christ are obvious but I won't elaborate so as not to spoil the ending for people. The message imbedded in this film, I believe, is that American militaristic male whitehood is there to save everyone else from themselves so you all can rest easy.
Quite the task however it would appear Clint Eastwood believes America and Christ are up to it.
