Director: Clint Eastwood

Gran Torino is a drama film directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, released in 2008. The film follows the story of Walt Kowalski, a Korean War veteran who forms an unlikely bond with his Hmong neighbors after they save him from a gang of local thugs.

One of the film’s main themes is racism and the importance of understanding and accepting people who are different from ourselves. Walt is initially hostile and racist towards his Hmong neighbors, but over time, he sees them as individuals and learns to appreciate their culture.

The film also touches on themes of redemption and finding purpose in life. Walt is a bitter and angry man, haunted by his past and feeling disconnected from his family and the world around him. Through his relationship with his Hmong neighbors, he can find a sense of purpose and make amends for his past mistakes.

Gran Torino is a poignant film that deals with important issues in a powerful and compelling way. A must-see for fans of drama and character-driven storytelling.
