gran torino
Watched “Gran Torino” this afternoon, and it lived up to the trailer.
Not only was the movie exciting, it was also powerful. I don’t want to give anything away, but the metaphor to be had in this movie is obvious, even though lots of folks missed it.

That’s part of it, but none of these was the central premise of the movie.
Like “Crash,” “Gran Torino” will be one of the most talked about movies over the next couple of months, and a surprise Best Picture nod is not out of the question.
Here’s the trailer:
