The trailer for the upcoming
Clint Eastwood movie “
Gran Torino” is currently playing in front of Eastwood's “
Changeling” which will opens in US cinemas.
In “Gran Torino” Eastwood plays Walt Kowalski, an iron-willed veteran living in a changing world, who is forced by his immigrant neighbors to confront his own long-held prejudices.
Eastwood is producing, directing and even composing music for movies at an age when other filmmakers would be retired. The screenplay was written by newcomer
Nick Schenk (I Shot Myself) with story assistance from first-timer
Dave Johannson. Warner Brothers has scheduled a limited December 17th release for Gran Torino, which puts Eastwood and company into Oscar consideration again.
-The long rich and established, predictably ‘earnest’
Eastwood continues to tow-the-line and maintains
TOTAL BALKING SILENCE regarding Hollywood’s decades
of enabling enmeshment with history’s –MOST– awesomely genocidal regime —ACROSS the Pacific.
70 million exterminated, decades AFTER WWII, unoutted,
unanswered for, unmentioned by Eastwood -or ANY Hollywood figure or film —EVER! -FACT-
-‘Gran Torino’? —SORRY CLINT -it’s a cop out
-esp. as millions continue to suffer and die on this,
the once again ‘mysteriously overlooked’ 60th Anniversary of the epically, urgently, eerily
relevant —KOREAN WAR…
-AMEN-
