Drop by and check it out.  I love reading your comments.

On the heavier side, just finished watching Gran Torino, with Clint Eastwood.  To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect.  One daughter didn’t like it.  She claimed the acting was amateurish.  The other daughter thought the movie was okay.

Baby girls, it was way more than okay.  The acting wasn’t amateurish, it was real.  Once again, just as occurred when I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, my eyes were riveted on the screen.  Clint Eastwood, is, of course, riveting all by himself, but the Hmong actors were outstanding  as well, the story heartrending.  For me, the themes were personal.  I work in neighborhoods like this.  I have patients who are the spitting image of Walt Kowalski and I love them, while I have  other patients who are part of a community just like the Hmong community of Thao Vang Lor.  And I have to watch out for the gang bangers when I make my home visits.

Gran Torino, five stars out of five.  Thanks, Mr. Eastwood.
