This is the worst possible thing about dying, you can't offer a rebuttal.
Like, maybe this wasn't even his THING and he was just trying it because his bud told him it was cool. Now every time you watch Kung Fu you're going to think, "This guy loved jerking off while strangling himself." |

Whatever happened, his father's last words were, "Milan: What a beautiful place to die."
Which is pretty badass. |

Check out this essay some colored person wrote. You see this faggot shit all the time coming from them:
Well I had been holding back talking about this movie because it was just so ridiculously upsetting. I thought about writing up a post for this blog, but was really emotionally affected by the experience of watching it in the theater. The most disturbing part, sans that whole concept of Eastwood as some sort of “hero” was the reaction of the white audience which surrounded me. Their laughter lingered too long during and after Eastwood’s use of racial slurs. Scenes that were just offensive turned comic fodder for the audience. It was almost as if they were adolescents unable to control their laughter when their high school health teacher used the word “penis,” but, instead, the funny words of the day were “chink” and “gook.” It seemed like Clint Eastwood wanted an excuse to use every racial slur he could think of without consequence.
I sat there wondering just what was so funny. I wanted to know what joke I was missing, when in reality, I have a difficult time identifying why the degradation of other human beings is comedic. As a person of color, I don’t get the benefits of power and privilege or real-life superior station. So, I endured two hours of humiliation and discomfort. In the end, I came up with a list of morals of the movie:
1) Men of color are dangerous. The criminals were Latino, Hmong, and Black. Yes, they were also rapists. The one young white guy tries to be “cool” with the African American men, but he’s just dorky and useless against these scary men of color that want to rape women. But the old white guy, veteran with lots of guns can stand up to these “degenerates.”
2) The main Asian American male character is not a REAL man. He does women’s work (parallels with labor patterns or modern day constructions?). He is even called “dickless” at one point, and doesn’t know how to talk to girls. The older white man has to teach him.
3) Asian Americans are model minorities, even if the Hmong youth are involved in gang activity. The supporting Hmong actress is a “smart girl,” but called a “dragon lady.” It is her job to teach the older white man, who just happens to be ignorant (no systemic link, this is just an individual racist), about her people. He directs racial slurs at her and in the face of this racial taunting, she continues to let the Eastwood know that he’s still a “good man.”
4) Even though they are model minorities, they are still foreign. He calls them “barbaric,” jokes about food, customs, you name it. These Asians won’t ever be REAL Americans.
5) In the end we, the audience, just need to realize that an old bigot is just out of touch. This is an individual issue and that ultimately we owe him a lot. He saved us all with his service during the war and ultimately is giving us (people of color, new immigrants) the chance at the American Dream. Eastwood is a symbol of old problematic America, and the laughter in the theater is not characteristic of any larger systemic problems, no way, get a sense of humor, will you?
This movie just fuels the rhetoric of our post-racial society. Eastwood is the pre-Obama generation. Yet, why is it that all of the audience members who are the younger generation aged 45-20, who probably voted for Obama (I viewed this movie in Austin, TX not College Station), laughing inappropriately at the hateful racial language?
My roommate’s younger (19 years-old) brother also saw the movie. He is white, but has a critical understanding of race in the United States. He went to a separate viewing of Gran Torino and independently brought up the same concern about this white laughter. I had not mentioned that I had even seen the movie and he came to me expressing his discomfort with the timing and length of the chortling. Eastwood has really produced and directed a comedy, not a drama/action flick. This is a film that creates a safe space for whites to be free from racial critique. This is yet another award winning white savior film. |

One of these cunts he was married to should probably just come out and say whether or not he was into that. |

I guess his ex-wife said a long time ago that he was into some crazy sex shit that was potentially dangerous, so I think the mystery is solved. |
