[spoiler]Confronted the gang on his lawn and made the comment "We used to stack ****s like you 5 feet high in Korea and use you as sandbags!" or when he confronted the black guys harrasing that asian girl. Great moments.[/spoiler][/quote]
I loved those parts. It was awesome. I was pretty much cheering for him in my seat.

Just watched it with my parents....

Wow. One of the best movies I've seen in a very, very long time.

Strong language, but I think it was "stylishly" done, if you know what I mean. Obviously not a movie for kids, but...

The acting on pretty much everyone's part but Eastwood's was sort of awkward, but still one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

Yeah. I loved that moment. He took all the hints from Clint's character and ran with it. I laughed so hard at that moment cause the kid is soo noob, but he totally lands it.

Me too, but then I thought he probably [i]can't [/i]say it, cause it would then be mimicking a priest.

I liked Tao's grandma. She was hilarious.

Usually the depictions of Catholic liturgies are very traddie in movies. Those in this one were not, though. I guess that makes it more realistic.

It was so great because it was an description of what a man should do. The end was more beautiful than anything I imagined.

Tao's grandma was wonderful.

Tao turned around nicely because someone was willing to invest some time ( reluctantly at first ).

Tao's sister's episode made me feel such pain...

Clint? Dirty Harry spends a Fistful of Dollars getting geriatric, but a tremendous film.

Sadly, no. It would be awesome if he was and though I haven't seen this movie yet, what I heard makes it seem like he is. But he is into Transcendentalist Meditation.

You would think that he is a Catholic because of the Catholic storyline. I don't want to ruin it for you, but what he does says it all.
