Review of Gran Torino

The Karate Kid...in Reverse!!!
28 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Instead on an old Asian man (Mr. Miyagi) teaching a white kid how to be more Asian (ie. karate) in order to defend himself against a white gang (the Cobra Kai), you have: an old white man (Eastwood) teaching an Asian kid(Tao) how to be more American (ie. car talk, man talk, construction job) in order to get him away from an Asian gang.

The Asian boy and "Daniel-son" are made to do unnecessary house chores for the old men teaching them, including washing a cool old car...which both end up getting.

The similarities go on and on.

Watch it again, you'll see.
