Gran Turino
Gran Turino is one of my favorite movies. Clint Eastwood stars in this movie as a grumpy old man who lives in a neighborhood that has been over come with Asian immigrants. He ends up helping his neighbors when they have trouble with an Asian gang. The gang controls his whole neighborhood by creating fear. But Clint Eastwood's character is not afraid of them, and stands up to them when they give him problems.
Clint Eastwood helps his neighbor, a teenage boy when the gang comes around and hassles him. His neighborhood starts to see Clint as a hero. The boy owes Clint because he tried to steel from him, so Clint makes the boy help him and the other neighbors do chores. Clint teaches the boy good manners, like helping an older lady carry her groceries.
In the movie the boy's older sister gets gang raped by the Asian gang. She can't go to the police because if she does her family will be killed by the gang. Her brother wants revenge and goes to Clint so he will help. Clint comes up with a plan to make sure the entire gang will go to jail. Clint locks the boy in the basement and goes over to the gangs house alone. He does not take any weapons. When he gets their he makes sure that every gang member See's him. He reaches for his lighter, and the entire gang open fire on him. Clint Eastwood knew he was going their to die. He helped the entire community by his sacrifice. I don't know any one who didn't cry during this movie. This movie opened people eye's to the hardships community's go through when they have gangs.
