Trivialidades:

The Gran Torino car of the title was also the car used in the 70s cop show "Starsky and Hutch" (1975). David Soul acted with Eastwood in the Dirty Harry sequel Magnum Force (1973) playing another cop two years before he landed the part of Detective Ken Hutchinson in "Starsky and Hutch" (1975). Eastwood himself drove a Ford Torino sedan in The Enforcer (1976/I).

Errores:

Errores cometidos por los personajes (posiblemente errores deliberados por los cineastas): In the beginning scene, Walt's grandchildren are genuflecting (doing the sign of the cross and kneeing briefly facing the alter). In the Catholic religion, this is done with the right hand, but the granddaughter is seen doing it with her left hand.

Citas:

[first lines]
Al: God, I am sorry for Dorothy, Walt. She was a real peach.
Walt Kowalski: Thanks for coming, Al.

Appreciation

Clint is the best director in Hollywood and still one of the great actors

seeing the trailer for this film kinda made me expect id be watching Dirty Harry in the suburbs.

What I saw was a bittersweet superbly written, well acted story of humanity and friendship,this film is something that we can all relate to in some way, and isn't Hollywooded up in anyway, the film tells it story without any un needed hidden undertones that so many mainstream directors do to films.

Eastwood is excellent as the hard nosed war vet, and his direction is perfect as always, and supporting cast did there job just fine too

Clint Eastwood was perfect for the role and as director, as he has the knack of taking a story and making a film for the audience to get sucked into the story, and not for critics to pick apart....great film making,
