Gran Torino

What the hell are you talking about?

I seriously think he has mental issues... I'm not joking.

Gran Torino wasn't a race movie... sure, that part of one character was part of the plot, but that's not what it was about.

I watched it last night too... excellent film.

Anyway, I liked it. I watched in full for the first time last night. I did laugh a few times at his facial expressions because thats just classic Eastwood. Couldn't help but ending up getting attached to him after he finally came around and accepted his neighbors as friends. Would watch again.

My favorite Clint Eastwood movie is Outlaw Josey Wales. Some great one liners in that movie.

Clint/Josey: When I get to liking someone one, they don't stick around long

Old Indian: I noticed when you get to disliking someone, they don't stick around long neither

Clint/Josey: You a bounty hunter?

Bounty Hunter: Man's got to do something for a livin

Clint/Josey: Dying ain't much of a living

It is a movie about patriotism, sacrifice, prejudice, spiritual conflicts, understanding, tolerance, family betrayal, unexpected friendship, bravery, and tragedy.

Eastwood nailed it.

aside from the movie, I wish everyone had these qualities.. went downtown with one of my best friends (mixed, black/white) and had to deal with quite a few of those attributes... from both black and white. f**king hypocrites and racists..

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
