Default Gran Torino

I went to a private pre-screening of Gran Torino last night. Clint Eastwood is incredible. Yes there is a beautiful 1972 Gran Torino in the movie, but it is not the star. Clint plays a crochty old fart that way too many of us can relate to. Either by him resembling our fathers, grandfathers, another relative or a neighbor (maybe even yourself). If you don't want your kids picking up a bunch of racial slurs that many of us have not used in years or even heard in a couple of decades--best to not take them. The movie is two hours and will keep you going the whole time. Clint should win plenty of awards for this one. That is where I will leave it as to not give anything away.
