You know that Clint Eastwood wants people to talk about his movies, right?

I sure do! I think anyone with a pulse realizes that racism exists everywhere. But this article is about Clint Eastwood and he's a famous, American, actor and director so we started talking about his films (Gran Torino in particular) in the context of his quote in the article and his work. You see, a lot of of artists

I don't think the movie is racist - it's about a racist guy, however -but….you realize that the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, right? That aside, I haven't seen a "load" of comments calling it a racist film. Or even, a single one really. I've seen a lot of people discussing the racist nature of the films

You can't fool me, Clint.

Yeah and that's clearly the message that we're "supposed" to take away.

I'm just saying, half the stuff out of his mouth are slurs, to Thao, all of Thao's family, his sister, the Black gang harassing his sister, the White guy she was walking with. Then, as Thao grows

I actually enjoyed the movie myself, I just didn't realize until now that it was a vehicle for his real views regarding "political correctness" until reading the interview. Sure, the casting was great. I mean it's 2016 I'm not sure why casting a role with a person of the same race should require an atta-boy from

"I like people who didn't crash planes."

Jesus, the wikipedia entry for Clint's ex-wife is longer than the entry for Pokemon Go.

Unforgiven was pretty great.

Gran Torino was even more hamfisted in "confronting racism" than Crash (Matt Dillion one, not the sexy one from the 90's). "Let mean, old, racist (white, in this case) guys say whatever the hell they want to you. Being constantly insulted and belittled because of your ethnicity builds character." He never stops being
