I always thought this movie would be about the car and the story of the car. God, I have never been so wrong. Beautiful would be an understatement for this movie. There are very few who can grasp the human emotions with such intricacies and depth and Clint Eastwood is a master at that. The plot is finely crafted and just like the 1972 Gran Torino, the direction is sublime and overwhelming. One of the most subtle but finest of Eastwood's making. Gran Torino simply made my day.
