review of Gran Torino
Before I saw a movie I wondered what is Grad Torino? Soon I found it was a name of a car. However still I was curious about why the name of the car could be a title of movie. After watching all I realized the car, Gran Torino, symbolizes Walt. Main character Walt rarely goes out and meet neighbor. Gran Torino also used to sit on garage like his owner and washed often goes out sunny day sometimes. As Walt become a friend of his neighbor and Gran Torino was inherited to Tao not his granddaughter. It means the America which represented as Walt admits strangers and their culture.

it is a very nice way of depict that the Director used to draw Walt's character
ReplyDeleteI guess i never caught the symbolism the first time through but you do make a great point. That was a very good catch. Even how Walt and Tao met can be seen this way. Tao tried to steal the car and in the same token "steal" Walt's pride (honor) in a way.
