Gran Torino

This movie is great, really great. So so sad, I felt sick for Su and from that moment it was tears after tears. Walt's ending was right, indeed a right ending, even if it brought more tears. Gran Torino is his car, a 1972 Ford that Walt did when he worked there. Walt is a sad character, the movie starts with the funeral of his beloved wife, then we see how he can't interact with his family. They don't understand each other, and specially the granddaughter is not a nice one, who only thinks of what she'd like to take of his as if he was already dead, she even used the cell phone in the church, as if she found her grandma's funeral too boring.
He's not in good health, he coughs blood. He's definitely not a politically correct man, but deep down he's a good one, a much better one than all those hypocrites who are very much 'politically correct' on the outside, but really despise everyone.
He doesn't like all kinds of foreigners, but when gang members start bullying his not-exactly-Chinese-but-can't-remember-what-exactly neighbors he steps forward to send them away. Of course it's not a simple thing to do.
Anyway, his young neighbor Thao was sent by the gang to steal his Gran Torino but he stops him. To make amends, Thao's mother forces him to work for Walt. Walt doesn't want him around at first, but then he 'uses' Thao to work on all the houses of the neighborhood, to repair and clean. He teaches Thao a job, and take an interest in the boy, arriving to lend him his precious car to take a girl on a date. He likes Thao's sister Su, and she likes him, telling him he's a good man, and worrying when she sees him cough blood. Unfortunately the gang won't leave Thao alone, so Walt beats one of them, telling him to stay away. As a result, they shoot at Thao's house, and violently rape poor Su. That was a terrible thing, so horrible, I felt so badly, and so sick, and so tired of these pathetic men in the world feeling big because they can take on a girl.
I can never remember that scene that I feel awful again and all crying.
Walt protects Thao from his want for revenge, locking him in the house. He gives his dog to them and goes alone to the gang's house. He speaks to them, and everyone in the nearby houses watches the scene. He was like a hero now, for helping Thao and taking the gang away, and they all see him when the whole gang shoots him dead. He didn't even have a gun, he was reaching for his lighter. Now people will finally testify and they'll all go to prison for murder, finally. In his will, he leaves his Gran Torino to Thao, not to his granddaughter. Good. Thao earned it, and the car created a bond between them it helped.
It was really sad indeed,  but still a great movie, done so well. Needless to say, it worked so well with Clint Eastwood protagonist, because the character was so perfect for him, and also because I think everyone, first time they watched, gave a thought about Walt going all Callaghan on them, so when it is clear that he went there to get killed in front of all those people that had not come forward to testify against them after Su's violence, it gets you so powerfully it knocks you down.
