Eastwood

[bright lights, big city]

....another director thread...

ok I have to admit I enjoyed Space Cowboys, and seriously the guy is on a roll for this whole decade. I can now say I've seen all his movies at least going back to about the mid-90s, and holy shit every single one has been good.

This is all stemming to today, I just saw Changeling. There was a reason I didn't see it in theaters, because Gran Torino looked sooo badass (it was) so I said "f this changeling probably won't be any good". Then it got some positive reviews and oscar noms, and i decided to rent it. Completely exceeded ALL expectations. Everyone was great in it, from Amy Ryan to Jolie to Jeffery Donovan to John Malkovich. The story was truly got me wrapped up into it, and I didnt realize till the end that the movie was over 2 hours. Spectacular from beginning to end.

Clint is amazing. Both as an actor and director.

ive just seen Gran Torino and would rate it 6/10 or 7/10.

i reall expected more and was dissapointed of how the story developed. this whole gang-thing was not necessary at all. the main character really was an asshole. the move should have pointed that out alot more.
the whole gang-story wasnt really necessary and i dont like that in the end a racist became a hero.


i have to admit that although Walt didnt deserve what he got from his neighbours, i felt lucky for him and it was nice that he was shown other, new aspects of life.


im really torn between disgust and sympathy for Walt.
