Gran Turino

The movie Gran Turino was a fantastic movie. The movie was about a former war veteran who gets to know more about his neighbors and their culture. Clint Eastwood plays the role of Walt, the next door neighbor to a hmong family. Walt as a strained relationship with his family and two sons, and is alone after the death of his wife. He then becomes friends, with his neighbors, after Thoa, his neighbor tries and steals his Gran Turino. After the unsuccessful attempt by Thao, along with Walt helping save Thoa's sister from the hands of a couple punks, the Asian family and Walt become friends, even through their cultural differences, and all that comes with that. Walt helps Thoa get a job, and gives him his tools, along with his Gran Turino. So because Thoa didn't finish his initiation which was to steal the Gran Turino, the Hmong gang then decided to rape his sister, and to all around mess with him. This then causes havoc throughout the whole neighborhood, because they shoot up Thao's house, and as a result Walt goes to the gangsters house and gets shot while pulling out a lighter.

Overall we see the cultural aspects of the Hmong. They believe the soul resides on the head, and they eat different things from someone like me, who is African. The Hmong also have a family shamen.
