I actually have a friend named Tao, and the first thing he did when he bought a new car was put a stupid looking spoiler on it, so that stipulation in Walt's will always makes me chuckle.
Brain damage done by "Fast and furious" and co.
I live two houses down from Walt's house in Detroit Walt's house years ago was taken over by drug dealers but now it's owned by an a decent person
..phucking thief ... stolen videos 🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎
Yo, that's hilarious
He must listen to 'Tao of the Machine' all the time, while playing NFS Most Wanted (2005).
“They don’t want to be your friend, and I don’t blame them.” That was his real-life son playing that part. Hehe. Was funny to see him having such a good time tearing into him like that.
Yep. That's Scott Eastwood. I love listening to his interviews, talking about his dad and what it was like being raised by him. Clint is an enigmatic and infinitely interesting man.
@@fluffylittlebear Hmm, there’s an idea. I don’t think I’ve ever checked out an interview with him. Thanks.
..phucking thief ... stolen videos 🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎🖕 👎
That's hilarious! I had no idea
I loved the man talk lesson. I talk like that at work. Considering how often I get fucked you'd be amazed at how often I don't get laid. That's shop talk.
He wasn't racist in the movie, he just wasn't politically correct. Many people confuse the two points, just because your not politically correct doesn't mean you are racist.
This movie is still a gem.
I found it to be a benchmark movie when it comes to finding good people, because they can see the value in it and don't get stuck on Walt's remarks so much that the message would be lost on them.
Seems to me you got the message, so good on you! :P
One of the best movies ever. It hits home to me since I also live in the midwest and the Hmong community coming to the United States after the Vietnam war is something that happened in my lifetime. I love how the film explores not only cultural differences between Walt and the Hmong family but also generational differences between Walt, his own kids, and Tau. Its just a great social commentary.
Great movie. Clint Eastwood is the epitome of manliness and virtue. Walt is a good man who spent too much of his life doing terrible things to save others, and probably never felt like he fit in the world, but his wife was likely his anchor that made him fit in. I have known people like Walt, and as gruff as they are, they can be the kindest person you'd ever meet.
LOLOL! racist sexist legend in his own mind is humanized. White savior man comes to the rescue!
Well said. People like Walt are brutally honest. What you see is what you get. I honestly enjoy people that don't walk on egg shells a lot more than those that do.
@@timothyhedrick5295 One of the best things about these kinds of people is, if they do something for you, there's no agenda. They aren't angling for some return. If they deem you worthy of being helped, that's a mark in your favor.
I’m a 57 year old US Army Cold War era Infantry Veteran, I’m not exactly like Walt (the racist part), but everything else about Walt is pretty much me. I speak my mind and my mouth has no filter, I have zero tolerance for BS or Stupid, I won’t hesitate to go full Soldier mode on someone that messes with me or mine. My daughter’s first boyfriend was told “you break my little girl’s heart and I’ll show you a level of crazy that will make your worst nightmares seem like a happy place”.
Your reaction was so genuine. It is ok to tear up at the end. Great reaction. Remember he found out he was terminally ill so giving up his life was understandable.
I love Eastwoods singing at the end credits.
Thank you! You are the first reactor to have similar thoughts to me concerning the opening funeral scene. Forget "disappointing" dad/grandfather, you're attending the funeral for your mother/grandmother.
Most reactors seem to want to chalk it up to Walt being a grumpy old man, which the scene is setting up, but reactors don't seem to register the disrespect of the entire family.
Agreed!
One fact you missed was the reason he "sacrificed" himself (and got rid of the gang). After he saw the doctor, if you look closely when Walt calls his son, the camera pans down to the test results that the doctor ran on him. The test results say he is to start chemotherapy for stage 4 lung cancer. In other words, he was dying already. In Walts mind, he made his life count for something by laying down his life for his friends. BTW, Clint Eastwood was in his 90's when he directed, and starred in this film. He was nominated for several awards including best actor.
The real kicker is: you'd be much better off just having a nice conversation and a sit-down with your dad than asking for Lions tickets. I say this as a 36 year Detroit resident.
Oh man, I wanted to be upset because you went with this and not Million Dollar Baby, but who can get disappointed with Gran Torino? It's outstanding.
Walt came back from Korea with too many demons running through his head put there by the horrors of war and had difficulty relating to anybody except his wife. He was never the dad in reality that was in his heart. He took Tau under his wing and treated him like a good father with a still-troubled mind.
This was such a deep redemptive story
Knowing he was dying from lung cancer any way, he figured out how to secure Tau's future.
I’m young (95) so this was my first Eastwood film, I haven’t watched many since then but this one has a a special place in my heart, something about his abrasive, horrible attitude comes across so endearing. Love your vids Mary!
Clint is a legend. The Dollars trilogy (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly) are must-watch movies. They're all-time classics. As for older Clint, Unforgiven and Million-Dollar Baby are some of his best works and were both done after he'd gone gray.
Mary Probably doesn’t know those westerns were made in Italy! Over here they’re fondly called “Spaghetti” Westerns.
But they changed the genre and are amazing movies each in their own right.
Kelly's Heros is also a favorite
It's long overdue for old geezer to kick the bucket.
Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby are the two best picks of what to see next. Each won the Oscar for Best Picture, with Eastwood winning for Best Director. Both are fantastic films and both co-star Morgan Freeman, so there's that.
Yes.You are correct. These are much better choices than The good bad and ugly.
Definitely 'Unforgiven.'
Let me co-sign this. Unforgiven is arguably the best Western of all time. Million Dollar Baby won a ridiculous amount of awards when it first released. It's really good.
@@geniusjohn8280 Unforgiven is a great movie, but I don't think is a good entrance to western
@@lito6062 How about Outlaw Josey Wales? I love that film and watched it numerous times.
Mary I'm so glad I found you're channel. Enjoying all your reactions I've seen and I just gotta say you've got a huge heart and are a very kind soul and I appreciate that about you. Didn't even know I wanted to see your reaction to this, but I'm glad I did. Of course you'd appreciate it. I'm also glad it wasn't about racecars
I had forgotten how good this movie is. Glad you reacted to it. Million Dollar Baby is very good and he starred in and directed it. Mystic River, which he directed is also a fantastic movie. You were so happy and upbeat throughout the movie, so I was kind of dreading the ending for you.
Mystic River is phenomenal
Definitely watch Million Dollar Baby, it's a boxing movie. 😉
Hi Mary " Million Dollar Baby " is the last movie that I saw at a theater. It's another one that is a bit rough around the edges.
such a lovely, heartfelt reaction... Thao driving the Gran Torino with Daisy in the front seat and Clint Eastwood singing over the titles broke me
This is a very sad movie, as Walt, dying from lung cancer, but hid this from his greedy, selfish and uncaring family, had sacrificed everything to make sure that Thau would never experience killing another person as he has whole life ahead and didn't want him to see Thau go to prison.
Movies like this define what cinema should be about. If it’s uplifting, motivating, uncontrollable laughter, crying, remorse, self reflection or a mix and match of some of the above, that’s the purpose of a movie to take you on this journey. So many actors of my era have tried to hard to pass this knowledge along to the next generation of actors and directors. Sadly that desire to make true cinema movies are looked over for cash grab movies. I grow fearful that the emotions of the last 20 years of cinema will disappear with the next few generations of actor/directors. Their are no new Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwoods, Judi Dench, Hellen Merien to name a few. Movies no long take us on these journeys and put us in touch with these emotions. “All the worlds a stage” and sadly I fear we will never see these kinds of stages again. This was a amazing “review” of a movie because you truly showed the purpose of the movie and the emotions it took to get there.
I'm a native Detroiter (moved to NY 25 years ago)......what I appreciated most was all the details this movie got right (that map of Lake St. Clair in Walt's basement was over EVERY father's workbench). I knew plenty of Walt Kowalskis (the casual racism wasn't commented on all that much in one of the USA's most segregated cities) and many of the older men developed that overall crustiness because factory life is a very tough way to make a living. Tends to sour people. BTW: there is no Hmong population in Detroit.....the novel was set in Minneapolis.......... Clint has a very long, distinguished career as both actor and director. I highly recommend "Unforgiven".......which I think is his best work. Loved your reaction, Mary. Thanks for posting.
In high school I had to write an essay about this movie and my teacher said it was so good she asked if she could anonymously go over it with the class on how an essay should be written lmao
I had the honor of playing violin on the score to Absolute Power, one of the films directed by Mr. Eastwood. He’s a Hollywood legend for many reasons and I’m so excited that you’re exploring his work. I highly recommend “Dirty Harry” and look forward to your reaction if you choose to watch it. Liked and subscribed!
when he asked tao what his initiation was, and he laughed about him stealing the car... i never realized it before now that he was laughing because he had already given it to him in his will by that point.
I had seen this movie before my wife. I had it on while she was doing things around the house and she eventually sat down and started watching it. I had to leave to run and errand before the movie ended. She called me while I was out and was crying. She was like “ why did you let me watch this ? That ending was so sad.” It really is a great movie. Eastwood has directed and starred in many great movies.
I'm a tough retired firefighter and watching your reaction made me tear up and I don't remember tearing up when I watched this movie before. Another great and similar movie with Clint is Trouble with the curve with Amy Adams.
Clint Eastwood is one of those Actors / Producers / Directors who deserve Global recognition.
That white boy he tells off with the girl is Scott Eastwood son...looks just like a young Clint
You've got a big heart, Mary. Another great Clint movie about redemption is "Unforgiven" which won the Best Picture Oscar in '93.
Mary I saw an interview with Clint Eastwood's son around the release of this movie. His son is Scott Eastwood. Scott is in the movie in the part when he drives up in his truck to rescue the girl from the street thugs. The interviewer asked Scott if he asked his Dad for advice in his first movie. Scott said he did ask him. Scott said his father told him "show up on time, do as your told, and don't piss-off the director." Clint Eastwood was the director of the movie.
You are my favorite reaction channel! Your reactions are so real and your accent in English is so very unique. Thanks for doing so much great content.
When you mentioned that you watched a movie that made you cry so hard, I wouldn't have guessed it was "Gran Torino," however, I can certainly understand why it did. Walt goes from a man who hates the world to one who learns to accept people for who they are, and they teach him to be a better person as a result, and find peace.
@@rustincohle2135 I've only seen Mary's reaction to this movie in the past few days, both on RUclips and on Patreon. If it was posted back in September, I surely didn't notice it.
Two things I relate to. One: The hand shake. Everyone I knew who gave a hand shake knew that was your guarantee.your bond. The other thing is something I didn’t think of right off. Walt in the waning of his life got to experience what family could be like. From the most unlikely of people. That backyard barbecue may have been his.moment of peace. He didn’t know how to connect with his own sons. Taos family had some of the same principals. Honesty, integrity, honour. They were an unlikely yet natural fit. He knew he was dying. He tried to talk with his sons to no avail. I think he was in a better place than he had been in a long time. And lastly. I don’t think he was totally blaming himself for the attack on Taos house. He had already said they didn’t have a chance. He tried to stop the inevitable by threatening the gang. But it didn’t change anything. But it wasn’t Walt’s house that got hit. No, they were after Taos family for fighting back. Tao resisted them as best he could. This is as good a movie I have seen in a long time.
Something that I just learned. The young man who plays Tao, is from Minnesota and was a Pre-Med student(at the time of the making of this movie). I don't know if he continued on the Medical career after this, but it is interesting that many people from different areas of work/study came together for this movie.
What I find funny is that this is how guys talk to each other.
That decoration, from appearances, was a silver star, the
highest decoration for valor under fire that an American can receive, next to the medal of honor..
This is one of the most beautiful and amazing movies I’ve seen. Clint is a genius when it comes to movies. Great reaction video. The “Click clack, ding dong, and Charlie Chan” line always gets me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My grandfather was in WW2 and Korea. Served on a destroyer and hunted german submarines. Drank for a long time after, every veteran feels something.
The message of this movie was never more needed than in today's culture. Things that Walt believes in like toughness, honesty, hard-working, the view that you need to earn respect and, eventually, that there is true value in sacrifice are now considered worthless or even toxic. I believe that isn't true at all - I believe world needs men like Walt more than ever.
“He has a very unique way of getting his point across” Lol that’s the first time I’ve heard it like that😊
CE was my late wife's very favorite and really loved all of his pix. My Auntie Gloria was a film/TV actress from the early-50s to the mid-60s and worked w/ Eastwood a couple of times on the "Rawhide" western series. (It's possible that she gave him his first on-screen kiss.)
The white kid that was getting hassled on the street when Walt came to rescue Sue is Clint Easstwood's son Scott. All in all I liked this movie. Some of the acting was a little over the top (especially Tao), but it was a good story. He came around, developed a more healthy relationship with his neighbors, and showed great empathy. In the end, knowing he was very sick, he decided to do one last good deed that would get him killed. After graduating high school, I used to have a 1970 Torino GT, which was the predecessor to the Gran Torino.
that slow zoom in on his face while they try to sell him on the retirement home is a mood...and you can feel his anger about it.
Jack Nicolson plays a crabby old man who insults everyone in ‘As Good As It Gets’.
It’s not as serious as this but it’s super funny.
Jack won the Oscar for best actor.
That was a great reaction! I love this movie. I love Walt. One of the things that I love so much about your channel and your reactions is that you get emotionally invested in the characters, how you care about them and what happens to them as if they're real people. I'm the same way when I watch or read something. Thank you!
It is shown early on that his racism is just superficial at best, and what he truly values is respect and honor and that he sees a lot of that in his neighbors. I like that he was a flawed individual, but it didn't stop him from benefiting others around him.
Totally agree. I have even noticed some reactors seem to edit out when they might be crying/choked up, especially males..
Walt was willing to give his life to protect Tao and his family because he was dying of lung cancer. He wanted his death to mean something, and he also made up for the killings he regretted. Sort of a cleansing.
This one always gets me. Your reaction was perfect. I felt the same way at the end (I think we all did). If this one was to your taste I think Unforgiven will appeal to you. It's a western but not a spaghetti western. (So called because they were cheap to film in Italy, which substituted for the old west)
The spaghetti westerns were Italian-directed & funded, but were filmed in Spain.
@@TheBTG88 thanks, I learned something new today. Guess I remembered something from a lifetime ago and either forgot, or misheard some of the details.
I got a copy of this movie as a gift once, and hadn't gotten around to watching it for a few months. Then a friend came over, saw I had it on DVD, and said "I heard Clint Eastwood calls some dude a pussycake in this movie" and that's the only reason we sat down to watch it.
It's actually a pretty good, and old, grizzled Clint Eastwood really did call someone a pussycake.
Can't beat word of mouth advertising.
Brilliant movie. One of Eastwood's most heartfelt performances. Eastwood is also an underrated filmmaker.
This movie and "Million Dollar Baby" are the two Eastwood movies, where you go in expecting one thing, and get something completely different which is much better than any expectation.
Once again Mary you were a generous and compassionate guide for this movie. Thank you for this reaction, and for the others that I've watched.
@13:57 What's really amusing about the "They don't want to be your bro and I don't blame them" scene, is that the white kid is one of Eastwood's children in real life. I've seen this movie at least ten times and it still makes me shed tears every time.
As for reacting to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," it's a classic spaghetti western (part of a trio) that is so hokey you might actually find it enjoyable. If nothing else it will make you laugh in a few parts. A Clint Eastwood western I think you would enjoy much more (and might even remind you of Walt's character) is "Unforgiven."
...h-hokey?
@@OpenMawProductions Definition of hokey
1: CORNY entry 1 sense 1
the usual hokey melodrama
2: obviously contrived : PHONY
the plots are tricky but not hokey
- Cleveland Amory
@@timothyhedrick5295 you can quote definitions but you don't know what you're talking about. That film is arguably among the best westerns ever filmed.
The fact that you can't appreciate it says FAR MORE about your lack of taste or appreciation of the arts than it does about the film
I actually prefer "The Outlaw Josey Wales" to that trilogy. Loved Chief Dan George's part in it!.
@@chandie5298 Wow!!! I love the film. I’ve watched it 100 times and love the final gunfight. Never said hokey humor was bad humor. Lmao. Chill. Too funny.
Mary’s reaction will be so good. I am looking forward to this.
He was already dying lung cancer so sacrificing himself to clear up the streets and save them from any more issues was worth it to him he felt responsible and his life is already short
Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby... two masterpieces... of the best of Clint Eastwood and cinema in general
My dad was exactly like this old man. A somewhat salty old Korean War veteran. Grouchy but also kind in his own way.
This is probably my favourite reaction from you yet Mary. I thought this was a fantastic movie and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Keep them coming, always makes my day when you pop up in the feed.
'Unforgiven' and 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' are my favorite Eastwood films.
Best known for his older westerns.
Clint generally plays clint, he's a movie star rather than actor, but the films he directed are all fantastic.
I always loved Sue in this movie. I wish you had come back after you got your tears under control and commented further. Clint never disappoints- great character development and very heartwarming story. It takes most people a while to figure out Walt's plan when he gets shot, but I could see you figure it out fairly quickly. Great reaction!!!
This was Sue's movie to steal and she did.
I have always loved this movie and Clint was perfect for it. I really loved your reaction and how it totally took you by surprise (which it does a lot of people). Your reaction made this even more enjoyable to watch as you progressed with the film and got more involved in it. Great job Mary and thanks for your thoughtful comments.
"Go ahead, make my day" You have probably heard this catch phrase by Clint Eastwood. Very famous movie line.
As somebody already said, you have to watch Million Dollar Baby, one of his best movies. Eastwood was very famous as the tough guy in all his movies, but once he began directing, we finally saw how talented the man was.
In the theater you could read the medical report (barely). Walt had terminal cancer. He knew the end was near anyway.
Clint Eastwood is such a fantastic actor, this is by far one of my favourite movies of his.
That guy Walt tells he doesn't want to be his friend either is Clint's son Scott Eastwood.
I'm shocked that this was the first Clint Eastwood film you chose but it's a great one and I think highly underrated at least when it was released. I will once again recommend Unforgiven . It's also directed by Eastwood and won Academy Awards for best picture, best supporting actor & best director and a lot of international awards.
Pretty much ALL of Eastwood's movies (Invictus, Flags of Our Fathers / Letters From Iwo Jima, Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Unforgiven, Sully, American Sniper, etc.) are incredible. He is one of the best filmmakers of his era.
Gran Torino always hits me really hard. My dad and I haven't gotten along very well the last few years, but I like to think we're doing better
Fun fact: Clint Eastwood's son played the character with Sue when they were stopped by the three black guys.
When Walt said "Keep your hands off my dog"...Sue said "We only eat Cats.." that was the moment that men like Walt and myself think "alright" I like you! Roastn each other is the way men show affection!
Being able to take humiliation...from each other is the ultimate sign of confidence! Lol
Such an underrated movie. It hits so hard and so well, a truly great Eastwood film.
The irony of him, as a young man going to their homeland in war time and killing their people, and then decades later as a old man back in his homeland laying down his life for them as they have now traveled to in peace time.
The actress who plays Su is so damn good ... but this was essentially her first and last film.
Every reviewer I've watched calls Walt a racist. Why? Mere words when he slurs everyone, regardless of ethnicity. He's very honest, very much himself. If a European ethnicity moved in next door and acted in similar ways that clashed with him, his property, and solitary peace, then he'd act the same way. Also, female reviewers just don't get how men can verbally be "harsh" with each other, including ethnic stereotypes, YET bond. It's a male thing. Finally, younger generations clash with older where confusions need to be figured out. Part of the magic of this film. Walt and Sue / Thao impacted each other's lives. Beautifully. ( P.S. - Sweet response from you at the very end of this video. Peace, Joy, Love to you and yours. )
Yeah, he’s clearly prejudiced, and overcoming that is like a major aspect of the plot.
"Is this gonna be like a from grumpy to sunshine type of movie?" Nope.
Grumpy to badass grumpy….the classic Clint character arc!
Even reactions to this movie still get me choked up. Definitely one of my favorites of all time.
32:28 "men are so sweet in such a weird way"
Very perceptive of you, that's so true as well
Clint is so a fucking titan !! This movie is beautiful. I got super excited when you said you thought it was a car racing film 😂
I glad you loved this one as much as I did! My favorite from his earlier work is "The Outlaw Josie Wales". Give it a watch sometime. Very different from this one, but I think you'd like it too. Also check out "The Gauntlet" and "In The Line Of Fire".
Mr. Chain-Blue Lightning himself.
"My ass hurts from all the guys at my construction job" nearly made me pee my pants.
Please watch Snatch, you’ll love it
Clint Eastwood knows how to make powerful movies. Highly recommended movies like 'Million Dollar Baby', 'Heartbreak Ridge' , 'The Outlaw Josey Wales', & 'Unforgiven'. It's best to learn the tropes of western movies before watching 'Unforgiven' for a deeper appreciation behind the message of 'Unforgiven'.
Clint's later work, the films that he directed and produced, are much better than his older work.
Million Dollar Baby. I am sure plenty of others have already suggested it but it is a must watch. Love your channel and your purity. So glad I found it. Quick thing I noticed while watching this reaction Walt had a much deeper confession when he locked up the kid and told him how he has to live with killing people in his past. The screen door looking like that of a confession booth.
That time when you didn't need superheroes to make one of the greatest movies ever. Beautifull soundtrack also, theme-song made and sung by Jamie cullum.
The must watch movies are,
The Good the Bad and the Ugly,
Unforgiven,
Dirty Harry,
The Outlaw Josey Wales
& This movie 😊
"Is this going to be a grumpy to sunshine movie?"
LOL
To me, the movie was about redemption. He felt soiled by the Korean War, that resulted in the relationship with his sons. Forgiveness and cleansing of his past, was part of why he sacrificed himself. The other part was love.
You 👏 Are 👏 So 👏 GD 👏 ADORABLE!! I come for your wholesome reactions bc I tend to be more like Walt lol
I have to frequently tell my 88 year old Mom that she's never bothering me and she can call anytime at all. She keeps thinking she's bothering her kids when she calls.
Unforgiven is another great Clint Eastwood movie. You will love it as well.
One of Clint' best movies. I am a grow man and seen it before. But even watching you watch it, it still brought tears to my eyes.
Mary, I think you are the first reactor that gets Walt, even just a little bit, and you got him a lot. Your youthful wisdom gives me hope. Yes, this is a beautiful story about real people.
‘The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly’ is the greatest movie ever made.
There's a first part to this movie. It's called Heartbreak Ridge. Shows his military career
That subscription pitch while trying not to laugh and cry at the same time actually made me audibly bust out laughing. God I love this channel. Really glad you enjoyed the film, it's one of those that we see on RUclips reactions and get excited about--especially with our favorite channels. :)
You may be interested to watch the Danish National Symphony Orchestra play The Good the bad and the ugly (1966) theme music.
Re: "I thought this was about racing cars" You're thinking "Gran Turismo" a racing game. Easy juxtaposition to make.
Clint is such an amazing director. I recommend Million Dollar Baby. Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director(Clint), Best Actress(Hilllary Swank),, Best Supporting Actor(Mogan Freeman)
