Grand Torino is Mr Eastwood’s love letter to another underrated movie,made by another Hollywood icon: The Cowboys,by John Wanye. Both films(without giving out spoilers)deal with an old man who has no choice but to deal with young people because of forces that are out of his control,and an evil that is looming his way. In closing,Grand Torino is an R rated,live action,dark version of Pixar’s UP. And like UP,it is a movie that most people thought they would throughly hate after seeing the beginning;then,thanking themselves for watching the entire film…while wiping tears away…

In the iconic movie,”Citizens Kane”,the viewer is taken on an incredible journey in finding out the meaning of,”rosebud.” In the end,we find out that,”rosebud”,was the name of the main character’s childhood sled. The one last thing that gave him joy,love,purpose,peace,etc. before his world was turned inside out. That stated,combine that with,”Avengers: Endgame”,and you get,”Zack Snyder’s Justice League.” An instant classic,that runs as long as,”The Irishman”;except it won’t make you sleepy. In closing, I would place,”Avengers: Endgame”,#1;”The Dark Knight”,#2;”Captain America:The First Avenger”,#3;”Black Panther”,#4;and,finally,”Zack Snyder’s Justice League”,#5,on my top 5 Superhero movies.
