"GRAN (wizard) TORINO"


  

          

I have finanly sat down and watched Gran Torino. WOW! What a racist movie. Like very over the top, ridiculously racist! I couldnt believe it. Calling Asians "Zipper Head" and "Gooks" and Blacks "Spooks" to their face and they dont react?????? WHA! Unbelievable. I suppose that Clint Eastwood wanted to make a movie that HE was comfortable with. I mean, the 70 something actor even beats up a young Asian gang member. WHAT THE FUCK!!!! Was this suppost to be a Dirty Harry movie? I dont understand. This movie was the most unrealistic movie i have ever seen. Seriously. A old white racist riding around using racist slurs and beating up gang members. Sounds like Falling Down meets American History X. If he would of toned down the racism, i may have actually gone out and bought it. But nah, i cant support that shit. Plus, i dont want to see any minority get called a racist slur and not react or respond to it. Like Clint was making it seem that its OKAY to call minorities offensive things. Now i see why Spike Lee went off on him. Shame shame shame. Anyone else feel the same????
