Gran Torino

What happens when an angry former auto worker who has just lost his wife has an asian family move into the house next door? Well first, a lot of anger and repressed racism, but then our protagonist (Clint Eastwood) experiences an aesthetic conversion of the heart. What ensues is one of the most heroic and messianic figures ever put on film. A beautiful picture of a man laying down his life for others. Very rough, but worth the ride.
