Hi to all,
Gran Torino is a movie about the relationship between neighbors from different cultures. Clint Eastwood is perfect for the role of Walt Kowalski, a retired Ford factory worker who is a Korean War Veteran. The movie begins with the funeral of Walt Kowalski's wife.

You do realize he didn't defend himself on purpose right? He was a "law abiding 'merican" and rather then commit murder he got the gang to murder him resulting in them looking at life in prison.

It was a seriously alpha ending.
Let's look at some movie alphas played by Clint Eastwood and others - The Man With No Name (Sergio Leone trilogy), Dirty Harry, Cool Hand Luke, John McClane. These men had their own laws to live by. Sometimes they are in tune with governmental laws and sometimes not. WK supplicated.

Paul Newman and Bruce Willis played Luke and McClane respectively.

Newman is another example of a great man.
