Gran Torino

I found Gran Torino to be a very interesting film. It definitely spoke to the issues of racism and the many stereotypes associated with them. I also found it very interesting of how diverse the community was Walt was living in.

I believe there are a number of themes that could be touched upon in this film, these are just a few I considered:

1. How to be a "Man"
2. Doing the Right Thing
3. Man vs. Man
4. Man vs. Society
5. Self-Sacrifice
6. Family in Friends
7. How to be a neighbor

Any and all questions are welcomed and wanted. I'm curious as to whether you agree or disagree with the themes listed and whether you have some of your own.

    I would say that is a very thorough evaluation of the film. Some themes are definitely more prevalent than others.

    Could you speak in more detail to points 3 and 4?

    i would say that this is what every "Man" lives like. if Job is added to those points, since Walt is not running any work.
    but Yea i agree with you :)
