Gran Torino
Watched this movie a few hours back. Absolutely brillant movie by Clint Eastwood. My great expectations did not end up in disappointment, not one bit.
This movie has so many ideas, themes and concepts - and they linked really well.
- Racial differences
- Guilt
- Societal problems - kids & gangs
- Social deficiency (not sure if this is the phrase, but basically, the inability to blend into the society)
- Family problems
- Inheritance
- ........
The 1972 Gran Torino pieced this up to perfection. Coupled with that fact that the movie ended with its hit theme song "Gran Torino" - Clint Eastwood & Jamie Cullum (one of my fave singers).

The word "love" is said easily and freely. When it comes to the act of forgiveness, people hold back. Even if it is typing the 3 words "I forgive you", people hesistate. People belittle these 3 words. However, I believe that forgiveness is a subset of love, they go hand in hand. In fact, I should rephrase my words. Love is the subset of Forgiveness, because the act of forgiveness is so powerful, the only thing next is Love.
He forgave us. The least we could is to forgive others because who are we to judge? Who are we to choose?

This has been a topsy turvy of a week. I just wish for more stability and quietness. But my mind wouldn't stop wandering...
