My Gran Torino




Father Janovich: [eulogizing Walt] Walt Kowalski once said to me that I knew nothing about life or death, because I was an over-educated, 27-year-old virgin who held the hand of superstitious old women and promised them eternity.
[the congregation chuckles politely and somberly]
Father Janovich: Walt definitely had no problem calling it like he saw it. But he was right. I knew really nothing about life or death, until I got to know Walt... and boy, did I learn.


Another reason why it pains me to see slumdog on the IMDB 250 list at where it stands, because Gran Torino deifinitely deserves to be higher than Slumdog. Take a bow, Mr.Eastwood, or should I say Walter 'Wally' Kowalski.

Love the way he swears and calls everyone a 'Gook'.

And that trademark 'Pull out the gun, point it at someone, cock back the thumb and BAM'

Favourite quote:
Walt Kowalski: Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have ****** with? That's me.
