sacrifice

While sitting around this spring break I decided to go to the movies with a friend. We decided to go see Gran Turino. Am I glad that we decided to go see this movie. Clint Eastwood did an amazing job in this film. While watching the movie I have never been so emotionally involved in a film. I felt like I was there. This movie was about racism. The end is what I want to talk about though. Never before have I seen a film where a person sacrificed their life. Clint Eastwoods character was a grumpy old war veteran who hated non Americans. Over time he befriended his neighbors an Asian family. Two of the Asian kids were being tortured by a Asian gang. Clint Eastwood character realized that these two kids would not be able to live safe lifes for as long as that gang was around. So in the end he got himself killed by this gang in front of a crowd so there was witnesses of this gang murdering him. He sacrificed his life for those two kids. The gang was now gone and those kids could sleep at night knowing they are safe. The whole movie was an emotional roller coaster. Clint Eastwood also directed the movie and he did a wonderful job getting his point across. I loved everything about this movie.
