  • Such an underrated movie... such an amazing film

  • More people should watch this movie!

  • that end is so sad, fucking epic movie..

  • clint eastwooooooooooooooddd... this the man..

  • one of the best movie i ever watched, maybe the best

  • Oh I am so happy that that bitch granddaughter of his didn't get the torino...

  • not as good as a fistfull of dollars

  • f you watch Gran Torino backwards, it’s about a zombie who becomes more and more racist.

  • @ZeJubjub it seems that you didn't understand the movie didn't you?

  • jaime pas le fin du film car walt meurt  c'est un nuls pour un film bien.

  • 14 people are sandbags in korea

  • outstanding performance as usual! Clint, you are truly an icon of this world. Thank you for sharing ALL your wonderful talents with us! We are truly the lucky ones! With "MAD CRAZY LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER"......TD. and I am sure I speak for the world. You truly are, "THE MAN!" GODSPEED to you and yours.

  • Man of the Polish Walt Kowalski :)

  • THIS MOVIE MADE ME A MAN

  • Everytime I watch this movie...i cry and so does my 13 year old brother..

  • LAST MOVIE>>>HA! they said that after Dirty Harry... Clint is the all time Best in ACTING...

  • Clints response in the scene is no different than what a Korean man would say under the same situation.

    "Step on my lawn again, and you're done."

  • Its just a movie, but the reason its good is it could really happen this way.

    Walt is an old-time AMERICAN. Back in the day American children were

    taught that Americans play fair, take up for the weak and fight for JUSTICE.

    The CRIMINALS who have hijacked the gov't, media and school system

    have turned Americans into SELFISH WIMPS who only care about THEIR

    TOYS, THEIR MONEY and THEIR SEX.

    Once this CRIMINAL HIERARCHY is swept from our shores Americans

    can be American again.

  • @4freespeech WRONG,WRONG,WRONG. AMERICA was hiijacked by greedy politicians, who only cared about their money.ALL Old-school americans were taught to play fair. even the criminals.(most of them) now kids are taught to be BITCHS, and dont take up for themselves, dont have a since of honour,or home training, so if you want a better america, start taking some action and fucking standing up instead of letting these Greedy politicians keep going,(how many of our politicians served their country?

  • @TyberZane What's "wrong"? I just assumed you would know that "greedy politicians"

    are exactly who I am referring to as "CRIMINALS", which they most definitely are!

    So turns out WE ARE IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT, friend!

    Question now is HOW DO WE GET SHUT OF THE BASTARDS?

  • @4freespeech its simple, give the public a better choice. the reason why we can't get better because overall quality is shit now. imagine this. Yours starving in the desert and u find 1 store open to sell u food. but the food is garbage, you have no other choices so you have to buy the crappy food. now what if you had a big mac on the menu? then you would feel much better about spending ur money and eating at this place right??

  • @4freespeech I agree with you. The old American culture has been effectively destroyed by our corporate elite and their political puppets. All that's left is a bunch of isolated, depressed fools who hate their neighbors and don't know how to work together to solve anything.

  • i am going to watch this movie once a year, that's about the right gap for me and my emotions. my dad is clint's age and he's so much like him in so many ways and like walt as well.

    the message is clear in this amazing movie.

    and it's clear that clint is the biggest star in the world....

  • Once a person reaches a certain age and has seen all kinds of hell..they become Walt!

  • Clint Eastwood has shown how the old people should lieve,. Old people, who still keep live in their old neiborhoods, wich not actually THEIR areas anymore. And he has shown how these old americans should lieve on their old , but still an excellent vehicles . Bravissimo!! The best movie E-V-E-R.

  • I hope he do an movie like this again ;'(

  • @Hartz4Guenther i've heard this was his last movie, he's over 80 years old

  • The grandma and mom was harsh hahah. They were saying that Clint shot Sue. xD

  • This started off so bad, thought I wouldn't be able to keep watching it but it finished nicely. Had a few touching moments. Clint eastwood certainly isn't much of a singer though...

  • Sometimes all you need is a good eastwood film to set your mind straight

  • I agree. One of the best movies, ever. One thing I don't understand: there's no back story on why Tao is such a wretch. Just a slumped over, self hating kid. Yet his sister is self confident and a genuinely nice person, who stands up for him. Tao was great once he "manned up," but no reason was given for his utter uselessness at the start. Any comments?

  • @TreasureOne watch the scene when Tao is trying to go to work for Mr. Eastwood. The sister and mother kick the shit out of him verabaly.

  • @TreasureOne I think the actor may have over done it a bit, but the kid has no father figure. That was the basis of his relationship to Clint Eastwood. Clint becomes his father figure. The kid had reached the threshold of manhood, with no one to take him forward (at least no one but his cousin...a terrible example of manhood).

  • im not a hero im an asshole now get the hell off my lawn lol thats what i wold have said

  • this movie it's the best made me laugh a lot :)

  • I highly doubt there's any hmong teen out there drooling over a Gran Torino. They'ed rather take that beat up, rusted honda civic the gangsters were rolling in.

  • the best part of the movie is at the end how the gang says shut the fuck up then he says no u shut the fuck up. hahah siik :D

  • In my humble opinion, this was the movie of the year. Slumdog foreign film? MILK not Mystic River? Eastwood, Gibson and Cruise not at the awards? Conspiracy? Hollywood politics? Slumdog wins as many as Braveheart? This is, next to Million Dollar Baby, Eastwood's masterpiece, only to be slighted by a consumer base fed on reality TV to not understand the daring ending. If Clint had shot everyone Dirty Harry style, then this would be a fan favorite rather film history's future favorite.

  • i dont know why u dont undestand ending...

    he knew he dont have chance against them...and he'd probably go to jail..

    Also he was sick, so he'd die anyway

  • lol when i heard the dogs name was daisy i laughed..cuzz my name is daisy XDDD amazing movie!!

  • Go ahead make them pay.

  • @madvoviestaa, is the virus and all the other shit your computer picks up free too.

    Nothing in life is free and no-one can tell me different.

  • He's a badass old man. Just like Old Hickory.

  • great acting

  • MrEastwood rulez!

    great movie

    P.S u step on this property again u are done!

  • I wanna see it actually

  • You should, it's a great movie.

  • I saw it and it was great.

  • best movie i've ever seen but the ending was sad.

  • best movie ever i watch it like 10 times all ready............  its fuck up at the end do.....

  • spoiler***

  • @astro123ify I love this film to. I've seen it several times and I still like it :D

    I love the end 'cause it's so emotional, that Thao gets the Gran Torino!

  • Hell of a flick. Eastwood the man.

  • his best film yet

  • ich ahb am schluss geweint

  • Clint Eastwood looks just like my grampa! haha i thought it was him at first.

  • 10/10 i loved it

  • gran-torino-is-the-best-movie-­ever

  • vado a prendre il dvd, x stasera

  • CLINTI EASTWOOD is the GREATEST !!!

  • You're right!

  • my dad's 75, and he really enjoyed this movie! they just don't make movies for people that age these days.

  • and im 19 and i loved it!

  • and that just goes to show that, even at 78, Clint really has his finger on the pulse of what people want to see.

  • the only thing i didnt like about this movie was that the kids' acting was horrible

  • i agree especially that Thao guy was terrible. Just watch how he screams when he's locked up in that house, it's fucking painful. Altough i think that Clint wanted it this way with lousy actors and everything.

  • @knoxrox167 Yeah especially the girl...

  • @knoxrox167 when toad was locked in the basement, n he was yelling, that was some really really questionable acting.

  • @knoxrox167 No, it was perfect. Remember that Clint is the main star.

  • CLINT EASTWOOD - MOVIE LEGEND

  • this movie was fantastic ¡

  • Whats the point for WSJ posting this clip?

  • someone tells me how he calls the people from Vietnam? In German it is translated with "Bambus-Ratten", which would mean "bamboo-rat". How is the original word in english? Thank You for an answer

  • they're Korean, and he calls them Gooks

  • No, the are Hmong, probably from Laos.

  • @Platapus120 They are NOT Korean. Can't you tell the difference? At least listen to what their saying and the way Koreans talk. They are Hmong!

  • probably "swamp rat." he used that one a lot

  • the word your looking for is swamp rat

  • he was a vietnam veteran thats why he doesnt like them

  • actually he was a Korea vet, not Vietnam

  • o yeah i forgot

  • 'Gran Torino'

  • movie of the year !!

  • This guy makes me think of Martin Crane from "Frasier" :).

  • Ok Sweedish Fish, that's enough. Most of us watching this clip actually liked the movie, and we don't need you coming in to talk crap about the acting or 10/10 or whatever you were trying to babble about. I am getting really sick of dumb yard apes like you posting all over the wall to change people's minds about the movie and ruin it for us. Just keep your mouth shut, unless you have something positive to say. Gran Torino was an excellent movie, and Clint Eastwood is a legend.

  • sweedish fish that is the funniest thing how did you come up with that? im not being an ass that really made me laugh LOL swedish assholes thinkin they cool LOL swedish fish thats a clasic

  • Yeah, I was comparing ceratabuba to a little meaningless red candy fish, because that's about how much he is worth. If you have the nerve, ceratabuba, to prance right into the comments of a terrific movie and act like a wad of used toilet paper, just keep your mouth shut and let the bad taste stay there.

  • mkuy

  • WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE SONG IN THE SCENE WITH THE LATINO GUYS ?

    ( In a car .. )

  • every movie clint easwood makes are pieces of art,and this one is not the exception. But i still prefer clint's spagheti western movies

  • American people hate asian that's the only reason why they says it's Sucks movie ... and i don't blame them cuz Americans directors how made a stories about China or japan or whatever with America it's so fucking classique =

    Americans good guys ... Japana china bad guys

    but this movie was special and i really like it

    it's was amazing and i'm really wanna see a movies like that in the future

  • Clint Eastwood absolutely OWNS!!

    This is a guy who has financed entire movies out of his own pocket, doesn't waste a millisecond of anyone's time, and doesn't have to apologize to anyone......His two back to back war movies (Iwo Jima/Flags) are astoundingly well done.....and Gran Torino was a very deliberate punch in the gut of a message film on his part. Thanks Clint, you are the MAN!

  • Comment removed

  • yeah i know man, Clint eastwoods dog was the best actor in the movie, the reason everyone loves it, like i do is, the meaning of the of the movie.

  • You sir are a complete dumbass. You complain about a movie you thought that 'sucked' but yet you continued to watch it. Numb nuts like you should raise your IQ a little higher just so you can get a little comprehension of what the movie is about. Good day dumb fuck.

  • Yeah, i like to finnish the film ive started watching.... And sometimes the movie gets better when u have seen it all... thats why i kept watching it.

    And i already said that the manus was good, that the meaning of the film was good... BUT when the actors are all chit, i atleast cant take the movie seriously, and the meaning behind the movie doesnt come that clear with chit actors....

    Thats why i said i cant see why some ppl give it 10/10.

  • Guess what?

    Fuck.

    You.

    Clint Eastwood will find you and cut your fingers off so you can never misspell shit again.

  • Just because the message is good doesnt meen that its worth 10/10, like its one of the absolute best movies in the world and that its nothing wrong with it.

  • @cearatabuba

    if u watched it until the END, u must have like the movie.

    its a good movie...

    geez, don't u know that theres a DIFFERENCE between having an OPINION and having NO TASTE???

    for u, its no taste.

  • @MasakoXer

    No, I wrote earlier that I like to finnish the movie i've started watching and sometimes it gets better when you have seen it all. I don't get what your saying... I have an OPINION about the movie.... i said that the meaning of it was good, but its totally ruined by all the chitty actors. Seriously the actors are BAD.

    But here, it doesnt seem that you can write your opinion without ppl hating on you...

  • @cearatabuba I know you have an "s" on your keyboard...

  • Fuck you.  Don't even reply back you piece of shit.

  • Haha :D whos the dumb fuck? You dont even got an argument. Just callin me piece of chit and stuff... Could you even understand what i just wrote before?

    Seriously how old are you? "internet gangstas" like u are so annoying, sittin safe behind ur computer at home, and calling me a dumbass and chit.

    Ur the one that replyed first.. and if U havent got any smart to say. stop replying back?, and just shut the fuck up.

  • My argument is that you're a piece of shit. This movie rules and because of the fact that you don't think so makes you a piece of shit. That is my argument. Why should I have to say something smart when it's just so simple?

    P.S.

    The word you constantly misspell in all of your comments is "shit," not "chit," you undereducated cocksmith.

  • guess theres no way to have a smart conversation with you.. And sorry for my bad spelling, but im swedish, and sweden isnt a english speaking country you know.

  • Learn to spell and form a sentence next time you want to sound tough.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAH, u guys are pathetic:D can u even read????

    who is the one tryin to sound tough while i am tryin to discuss like a normal person? Lol if u think this movie is so good then u are mentally retarded :D

    GOOD DAY U PIECE OF SHIT and stop replying back if u havent got anything to say. Just make u americans look more stupid than u already are :D

  • Shut up, you big retard.

  • This was a great movie,but the acting from the orientals could had been a bit better.I'm not complaining though,I was about to cry at the end D:

  • Perhaps the best reflection on this film is that, without great acting (wasn't really) big bucks, effects etc, it's still a movie that gets under your skin & stays with you. It's because the story itself has a lot of punch and humanity, Clint goes right to bare essentials and he knows how to get to you very directly and personally. You have to stand in awe of someone who has such a master of the the craft from every angle, behind & in front of the camera, & hope he never stops doing it

  • I agree... its just some of these kids don't get it yet. Half of their brain is not functioning like yours or mine.

  • top ten best movie i HAVE ever watched

  • I want to see this movie so bad how is it? comment on it and ill check it but say its to my user name.

  • it had potential, but the acting was really bad, from everyone. its worth watching still but its a shame cause it could have been a great movie.

  • what are you on about,, its one of the greatest portreils of a character i have ever seen, have you read the book.

  • Clint's signature is 2 takes max I wanna see you act better in 2 takes... and the acting wasn't that bad only bad scene was the basement one but you gotta let it pass imo the movie as a whole was good.

  • I thought the basement scene was great. The one when he fixes the dryer?

  • you talkin about were the kids at the door bangin and sayin let me out cuz yea that was horrible acting on the kids part

  • word!

  • "what the hell is this"

    haha i love this movie, clint eastwood is priceless

  • oh this was such a good movie!

  • when Suie got raped by her cousin, I could feel the heat burning in Clints soul

  • all of the actors in this movie were first time actors... Clint wanted it that way... and he did a great job...

  • yes it was a great movie.....but did he deserve to die?? was it inevitable?

    did he just have maybe done tooo many sins from his past???

  • This is the best movie in the whole fucking world.

  • no its fucking not the best movie in the world.

    you're an idiot if you think so , either that or this is the only proper movie youve ever seen

  • To you it isn't. To someone else it may be the best movie in the world.

  • to someone who hasn't watched enough proper movies

  • Proper? Get that shit out of here, you and what you think is "proper" is bullshit.

  • So you believe Italian Job, Top Gun, Die Another Day, Star Wars, Braveheart, Rambo, Airplane, Apollo 13, 2001 a space Odyssey, Pearl Harbour and The Godfather are bullshit.

    You fucking retard. Just kill yourself now and you'll keep a shred of dignity.

  • Those are great movies, except Pearl Harbor sucks some pretty major ass, and Top Gun, are you kidding me? I guess your definition of "proper" doesn't fit mine now does it? Or many others for that matter.

    Dipshit, go sit in your parents basement and jerk off to Top Gun.

  • lol, i can just imagine you eating cold hotdogs in your apartment for dinner and crying yourself to sleep.

  • lol, that's awesome, that made me laugh pretty hard.
