His sons didn't act like they loved him at all - they just wanted his stuff when he died and so did the grand daughter. He was making amends of not bonding with them by bonding with Thao but he also really liked the sister and the kid. He never got any appreciation in his life from his kids and family so when the Asian neighbors demonstrated great appreciation for him he was overwhelmed.

He sacrificed himself to save Thao and Sue. He knew that he was dying soon anyways so he took it into his own hands to save his new friends. His family were awful and I'm glad they got nothing.👍🏼

My Grandpa and his friends bantered this way with each other it wasn't meant to be hurtful and never was taken that way My Grandpa was a WWII vet this was the way men of that generation showed affection towards each other without looking soft. This is one of the best Clint Eastwood movies I have ever watched and this guy is a Hollywood legend of more then 70 years he just turned 93 this past May 31st.

"those are three gangsters" "that's a war hero"

Sue is the best, and she got it the worst. I love that she knew to not take Walt's insults as personal attacks. Nice job, connecting the explanation of the Hmong smiling while being nervous and Thao smiling when the gang was following him. I didn't notice that.

Walts family only cared for themselves. They wanted what he had including the house. That's why he didn't leave his family with anything. The people in his life who meant something to him is who he gave his life for. I love this movie. It's my all time favorite character development. Clint Eastwood was and is amazing". I'm glad I got to experience his movies throughout the years. Such a real talent". Xx

I'm Canadian and served in Afghanistan and volunteered in Syria with Kurdish Peshmerga, now my city and neighborhood have a huge middle eastern immigrant demographic. This movie is too real.

I married into a Hmong family. My wife and her extended family immigrated here in the mid 1990's. Interesting people and very traditional. Had a few cultural missteps with them over the 14 years we've been together but they are warm and accepting once you break through their initial prejudice.

Sweet reaction. Walt gave his true confession through the gate to Tau. He chose a beautiful warriors death in service to people he loved. Brings tears every time I watch it.

He knew he was dying so he sacrificed his life to set theirs free!!!!! He made sure there were plenty of witnesses.

I wish that the kids in America were half as educated, intelligent, well mannered and lovely as you two! I also wish you 2 wonderful ladies great success. I think you have an excellent site and I am enjoying your reviews very much. My very best to you, keep up the great work!

Walt was upset at the nursing home scene because they weren't concerned about him, or putting him in a home for his own benefit. He was perfectly fine were he was, able to take care of himself and then some. What his selfish family was actually concerned about, was the house. They wanted the house.

That barbershop scene is great. Guys really have their own way of talking to each other. It's amazing what you can say to your buddies as long as you still respect them, allow them to save face, and smile when you say it. The way you can say anything to your friends is the first way you know they are different than just anyone else.

Nice reaction. Walt was done with killing since the war. He wasn't going to kill the gang despite what they had done. Walt dished out a lot of racial insults to everyone, but he was never a racist. He respected those who gave it back rather than take it personally. Walt's family only cared for themselves and what they could get from him. They wanted his possessions, but not his love. That is why they received nothing from the will. Other great Clint Eastwood movies include "Million Dollar Baby", "Heartbreak Ridge", and of course his westerns like "The Outlaw Josey Wales" --- and so many other must-watch Eastwood films.

His family wanted his house for the money. Glad he left the house to the church because that’s what his wife would have wanted. 10 out of 10. 🇨🇦

Remember Walt told his son, "Your wife's already gone through your mother's jewelry." They wanted the house, that's why they brought up the senior community, and he knew it that's why he threw them out. He sacrificed his life for who he considered his family. John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

love your emotion. I cry every time I watch this movie. Point of argument---HIs sons only loved themselves. He came from a different generation, but he was their father-they needed to accept and love him as he was.

Did you notice at end driving His car the dog next to him? Or realize the singing, it was Clint Eastwood. Recommend watching him still old but younger, this time with a daughter he wants to get closer. 1997 Absolute Power You're both so pretty 💗

Walt got everything he wanted. He was sick so he could die quickly without suffering from a sickness... He gets to see his wife in the afterlife... He gets to atone for the bad things he did in the war by helping those two.... Great reaction. Thank you. 😊

His family did want the house to sell it. That's why they were trying to put him in a retirement home.

38:16 this…. The screen door. Walt’s true confession

Nice reaction. The Clint Eastwood rabbit hole is deep. Back in the day, you would leave the theater with that year's C.E. one-liner: "Go ahead, make my day" from "Sudden Impact", "Dying Ain't Much Of A Living Boy" from "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and 'Do I feel lucky? ' Well, do ya, punk?" from "Dirty Harry" are a few of my favorites.

God bless the parents who raised you. They did a great job.

Walt's family wanted to move him to an old folks home. You're right, Walt's family DIDN'T want to live in his house & neighborhood. Walt's family wanted to SELL Walt's house so they could get the money from the sale of his home. Walt gave his house to the church cause his wife would have wanted him to & he definitely didn't want to leave it with his greedy children. Walt gave his Gran Torino to Tao cause he was like the son Walt NEVER HAD. Tao was more of a son to Walt than his two REAL sons & he definitely didn't want his spoiled & disrespectful granddaughter to get his car. Walt's family ONLY wanted his home & car. They all disrespected Walt, so Walt left them with NOTHING. Walt made the wise decision. Tao & Sue was his TRUE CHILDREN. Thank you both for your wonderful reaction!

One of my favorite movies. So glad I get to watch it again with you lovely ladies!❤

A little info Clint can throw those hands in real life. Him and Charles Bronson were two guys the define the term American Bad Ass

By the way, he directed the movie, wrote the musical score and he was the one singing as Tao was driving the car at the end.

No matter how many times I watch this movie, it breaks me every time. Such a beautiful film. Clint is one hell of an actor, and an amazing director. Your reaction to this gem was wonderful. I was again tearing up with you.

You two ladies are the best most genuine reactors on KZfaq. Thanks for being true to your heart,

I really enjoy your reaction videos. You're very perceptive and well-spoken with your thoughts and analysis. You catch everything in the movie and you're not afraid to show your emotions as the story unfolds. I hope to see you react to many more of my favorite movies.

When your life is coming to an end, and you're full of regrets, there is no better way to meet that end than by sacrificing yourself to save others. Saving Thao and his family was the noblest thing Walt could have ever done.

Clint was a very tough dude in my day, a very good fighter. In fact he made a couple of comedy/ street fighting movies in the 70s that were pretty good. Very funny movies actually, and he kicked some ass in them too. "Every which way but loose" was the name of the first one. Put it on a comedy poll and it would get a lot of votes from the old timers.

Because of his experiences in the war and working all the time to support them, Walt never knew how to relate to his sons. However, what they did was awful. Right or wrong he was their father and they treated him like he was decrepit and were only after the house and anything else he had for the money. They weren't concerned about him living alone. My uncle did the same thing to my grandmother. He sold her trailer while she was in the hospital because from a bad asthma attack. He had talked her into giving him power of attorney. He told her the day before she was to be released from the hospital that she'd have to live with him or in a home. She died the next day. Walt wasn't actually a racist. He was from a different generation who's views toward his Hmong neighbors were formed during a war he regrets being involved iin. I think it was mostly to cover up the guilt he felt over things he did during the war.

He went out in blaze of glory. He fought back the only way he could. Most dudes come back from war like he was. I saw a lot of great men come back like Walt. Respect and much love to all of our military ❤

The second time they bring Walt food is because they found out his wife died, and they wanted to take care of him. Its a tiny part that a lot of people miss but it makes me emotional every time lol. Just that old world hospitality that you dont get in North America anymore

At the beginning of the movie Walt's sons wife is playing with a pearl necklace she's wearing. That is Walt's wife's jewelry.

there's another Clint Eastwood movie that goes into the contents of that foot locker of Walt's called "Heartbreak ridge". It explains how Walt became Walt.

He knew they'd kill him, and that it'd be something the police and everyone would see an old white guy in a hmong neighborhood. Great movie and hits hard

Million Dollar Baby is another good movie by Clint Eastwood 😊

He sacrificed himself so that Tao and his sister could be left to live in peace!!❤❤😢 He paid his penance for being a bad father in his eyes!

You both are very decent, kind girls.

Seeing Sue like that always makes me tear up. Great reaction. You two are awesome and really caught everything perfectly.

45:10 "I didn't know this movie would be so heartbreaking." None of us did. Thanks for your beautifully sincere reaction.

His son wanted him to move so they could get the house. That's why he left it to the church.

I spent a week among the Hmong tribes in the Golden Triangle around Northern Thailand in 1976. Wonderful beautiful people. Living in Grass huts no electricity. Simple.

He went unarmed... so they couldn't claim self defence.

I am glad you young ladies appreciated this movie for what it really is. Hugs and God bless. Walt gave his life for Tao and his family. He figured death was getting too close. Without going into details I know how he feels. My children were very close to my parents.

Unforgiven was a great Clint movie. A western revenge movie. Excellent actors.

Walt and the Hmong granny were both chewing tobacco and spitting out the juice

Clint Eastwood is an American treasure.... his catalog is incredible

We've all had a Walt in our lives. We understand he's got his message to give.

Masterpiece of a movie.

I knew those tears were coming for sure✌✌

This movie is a narrative masterpiece. The protagonist: Old man Psychological weakness: Lonely Moral weakness: Racist Desire: Return to good old peaceful happy days Need: A friend and to overcome his racism. He overcomes his moral and psychological weakness because he is shown how well mannered the Asian kid is. He starts to care about the kid doing well, when the kid is in trouble he sacrifices himself. The racist died for the sins of the criminal immigrants and in doing so managed to grow as a character and find peace. It's a contemporary Christ like story of sacrifice, which is maybe why he donates the house to the church. I think the writers were aware of what they were doing. The movie also humanizes racists, which is not always possible because there are people that genuinely hate anyone no matter how they behave if they're of another a race. But it's clear the old man in the movie stopped discriminating the moment he saw positive behavior. I think particularly liberals (like the old man's family in the movie) as well as gangster immigrants really would benefit from watching this movie. Not to mess with their heads but to give them a hint of what's really at stake. When all old men like this are gone everything could quickly turn to a crime ridden ghetto unless we start behaving as nicely as the Asian kid. That's especially true when it comes to liberals, you can't twerk around at home to gangster music and vote left on every political issue and expect to live in peace forever. Cigarrete burn marks and gun violence will eventually reach your sheltered lives as well.

You're the first people I saw that saw the Jumper cable thing.

This movie is truly beautiful! My favorite take away for others is that, Sometimes the most gruff seemingly prejudice (but in my opinion it was the generation & ALL cultures have that racism to some extent) Are more caring & hopeful for the next generations, than the fake “ we care about everyone” people. Show me your worth! Not your color, sex, or excuses. And I will support u! Great reaction ✌🏻

The white kid is actually Clint's son

Channels with the short intros are top tier!

Man, Walt's son crying at the end. I just realised, he would'a been feelin' it on the heavy. "The last time I had a conversation with my Dad, it was actually just me palming him off, basically before I even answered his call". Get wrickiddy wrecked , kid.

I'm so glad to have seen your reaction to this movie! Thank you very much for an amazing reaction. Another really fantastic movie, and one that won several Academy Awards is another Clint Eastwood movie, the western, "Unforgiven," starring Clint, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris (the original Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies!)

The locked basement screen is representative of the confessional screen in Catholicism…

I just discovered your channel and loved your reaction to Gran Torino. I will be watching many more of your reactions. Thank you, lovely ladies. 🤗

Great movie!

Movie has a lot of similarities to the movie Sling Blade. Older person befriends a younger person and then basically gives his life up so the young friend doesn't mess his life up.

love the reaction. It's good to cry, shows your warmth and sensitivity.

I saw that movie in theaters when I was a little kid. I loved it. My dad took me to see it.

Love you guys! That was awesome! Thank you so much!

I just watched Full Metal Jacket and now this masterpiece from Clint. Last week i watched your Pulp Fiction reaction. I added you. Great reactions guys.

This character reminded me so much of my own father, also a Korean war veteran. Walt did the right thing because it was the only way to get rid of all of them. He remained a hero to the end.

This one gets me every time🥹😭

LOL when he is spitting like that, and the old granny was spitting, they were both chewing Tobacco, thats why they spit out the brown lol

Nice reaction ladies, enjoyed watching it with y'all.

What's funny is the dude walking with sue is Clint's son

Powerful movie. Great reaction. He did it to protect the neighbors he grew to love.😢

Great movie. Great reaction. Keep going...you 2 seem to have great insight and don't waste words.

His children and grandchildren never tried to reach him like Su and Thao did. His gruffness was a shield against anyone finding out about his true self, and things he had done. The only person who truly knew him, passed away. But Su and Thao (especially Su) fought through that and showed him they cared.

First time watching a reaction of yours, loved it, subscribing!

The way he talks to the barber is how my dad and his best friend spoke to each other when I was little. There was a time you could take offense to something without it becoming a delusional attack on your whole character. The youth today have no idea. There are positives about everyone walking on eggshells but theyve lost something.

Great reaction big salute to you guys.

Clint Eastwood is 93 years old -which may explain some of his latest movies. (Mortality.)

I always liked when the little girl came over with her GrandFather to Clints house and asked him if he get get 'Toad' to clean out the gutters. Lmao - she actually said. Toad.

New Subscriber from Vancouver Island, BC Canada - Nice Real Honest Reaction, Great Job!

Loved this reaction.

Hello, Walt made Detroit a better place for Sue and Tao. My favorite parts were Sue's interactions with Walt. I enjoyed when Sue on Walt's Birthday invited Walt to the party6 at Sue's house. I really enjoyed Sue's translations of what her Grandma was saying to Walt. In the end it was best for Walt to die before he ended up marrying Grandma. He saved himself. " Hey! "

I love the fact that Walt being Walt was fed up of seeing the neighborhood fall to ruin after his friends passed and new people moved in so got tau to do the work and then the neighbours even start calling him toad priceless. Most old people are like Walt born in a time where they didn't know any better about the way they talked but deep down inside they are all mostly teddy bears who just really need a hug and some love. The relationship between tau and Walt is beautiful and is the growth between the priest and Walt. I just love this movie so much

Sue is the true hero of the movie , she just simply decides she is going to be Walt's friend and he is going to be hers and thats it , my wife is the same way.

Great movie. Great reaction from two wonderful people. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Good job girls! You are the only reactors I've seen that caught that Walt was jump starting the car. It's the first thing we see that Walt really is a good man. GOD BLESS ALL HERE!!!!!

Such a great film. I love how all the characters develop and grow. And yes, Sue was such a wonderful character and she suffered so much there at the end. Another film that is similar is "ST. Vincent" with Bill Murray.

One of my favorite movies.

Walts children didnt try to show him love or connect with him, everytime he talks to them they try to convince him hes becoming too old thats why they gave him old person gifts like a phone with huge numbers or a stick to grab things, they were being fake nice then trying to convince him to move into a elderly home so they could take the house and sell it. Other than that, they didnt care about him

Such great character development, a very great movie that a man that went from killing people like them grew to love them... Clint was so great for doing this.

Great stuff. Honest, funny, and heart breaking reactions.

I love how Clint cast his own son as the wannabe gangster white boy.

When he was taking about the hardest part is the things you aren't ordered to do, I think he was saying how hard it is when you come home and are lost because you have no orders. He didn't mean he went rogue while in korea

A great movie and a great reaction from you both.Thoughtful and empathetic. Well done,

One of the best movies ever made.

Love your movie reaction and comments! ❤

I'd love for you two to watch the two Grumpy Old Men films. You'd love those! There's also a Paul Newman film called Nobody Fool that's kinda like this one. Great film that no one's reacted to.

I live in Fresno CA, us and Minneapolis have the largest Hmong population in America. This was the first and only movie that put a spot light on the Hmong s and it was pretty accurate. Very big on the family unit, very shamanistic and spiritual and if you help them or show them loyalty they will return the favor even more
