Yeah, that scene was particularly poorly-acted. But overall, it was a very enjoyable movie. Great little story.Originally Posted by Club29
Great movie plot. As mentioned, the asian actors in this were TERRIBLE.
When Thao (toad) was locked in Walt's basement? "WALT! WALT! GET ME OUTTA HERE!"
I mean, was the director pressed for time that he couldnt do a few more takes of that one? sheesh
Not as good a movie as Million Dollar Baby, but just as enjoyable. Walt (Clint) was badass and there's a lot of funny moments; most intentional, and some not (like the scene described above).
"Yum Yum"
I will say this, though: Gran Torino > Benjamin Button.
I liked it a lot more.

My step dad fought in the Korean war. I saw the similarities in character except my dad didn't talk about the war or said racist things like that. Movie is appreciated. Non BS film, they showed Hispanic and Blacks as gang bangers and didn't make it all heartwarming by having some good token Black/Hispanic citizen. Even showed how old school Clint was by him talking on interracial relationships. It was real in that aspect.
I was honestly in hysterics during the funeral scene at the beginning. The faces and growling were way too funny. At first it seemed like thetheater was taking it seriously and was getting pissed off at me, but after about ten minutes everyone was laughing.Originally Posted by 18key
Word. After like 10 minutes of the racist stuff I just started laughing at all of it. All these words I've never heard for Asians. And the barbershop scenes had the entire theaterOriginally Posted by NYelectric
I was laughing the entire time. I thoroughly enjoyed it from the first growl to the last.

This movie was actually filmed in my hometown! Highland Park, Michigan! They shot some of the movie directly down the street from my house! This movie was really good to me and it was so nice to put my neighborhood on the map. Our city is 2.9 square miles!
