Gran Torino
What happens when the strong silent type becomes obsolete? At seventy-eight, Clint Eastwood used everything audiences knew about his screen persona to tell a story about America itself—a film about racism that was really about redemption, examining what strength really means in a world that no longer has room for traditional masculinity.
We explore how Walt Kowalski represented both the best and worst of American values, how Eastwood's most personal film since Play Misty for Me became a meditation on demographic change, cultural identity, and the possibility of connection across difference. From Detroit's post-industrial landscape to the complex relationship between Walt and his Hmong neighbors, Gran Torino asked hard questions about who belongs in America and what it means to be American.
This was Eastwood examining his own screen legacy while creating his most direct statement about aging, prejudice, and the ultimate meaning of masculine heroism.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.919
Caalaruga Shark Media. This is Eastwood reloaded. We've watched Clint
2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.719
Eastwood evolve from Western icon to contemporary filmmaker, from entertainer
3
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.960
to artist. Now we need to talk about what many
4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.160
thought would be his final performance. The film that used
5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.640
everything audiences knew about Clint Eastwood to tell a story
6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.640
about America itself. A film about an aging Korean War
7
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.039
veteran who discovers that the America he fought for has
8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:38.600
changed beyond recognition. A story about racism that was really
9
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.039
about redemption. A movie that used Eastwood's screen persona, the
10
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.119
tough guy with the gun, to examine what happens when
11
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.280
that persona becomes obsolete. It was Eastwood at seventy eight,
12
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.600
looking back at a lifetime of playing strong men and
13
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.600
asking what strength really means in a world that no
14
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.840
longer has room for the kind of masculinity he'd spent
15
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:04.400
fifty years embodying on screen. This is episode seven, two
16
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:10.319
thousand and eight, Grand Turino. Here's the setup. Walt Kowalski
17
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.920
is a retired Ford assembly line worker living in a
18
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.079
Detroit neighborhood that's changed completely since he bought his house
19
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.640
fifty years ago. His wife has just died, His sons
20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.920
are distant and materialistic. His neighborhood is now predominantly long
21
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.200
immigrants from Southeast Asia. Walt spends his days maintaining his
22
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.840
pristine nineteen seventy two Grand Tarino, drinking beer on his
23
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.200
porch and muttering racial slurs at anyone who doesn't look
24
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.040
like him. Walt is a relic, a leftover from an
25
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.120
America that no longer exists, a man whose values, whose
26
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.200
way of being in the world, whose entire understanding of
27
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.040
what it means to be American has been made irrelevant
28
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.120
by time and change. But Walt is also something else.
29
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:59.159
He's lonely, grieving, and, despite his racism and anger, fundamentally decent.
30
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.599
When his teenage Hmong neighbor tries to steal his car
31
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.560
as part of a gang initiation, Walt intervenes. What follows
32
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.520
is a relationship that forces both characters to confront their
33
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.159
assumptions about each other, about their shared neighborhood, and about
34
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.639
what home means in modern America. Grand Tarino was the
35
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.840
most personal film Eastwood had made since Play Misty for Me.
36
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.240
Like that earlier film, it was shot in locations meaningful
37
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.680
to him, Detroit, where his family had roots, where American
38
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.039
manufacturing had thrived and declined, where the promises and failures
39
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.680
of the American dream were written in abandoned factories and
40
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.680
empty lots. But unlike his earlier work, Grand Tarino was
41
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.919
explicitly about Eastwood's screen persona itself. Walt Kowalski wasn't just
42
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.680
another Eastwood character. He was what happens to Eastwood characters
43
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.479
when they get old, when the world changes around them,
44
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.560
when their particular brand of masculine competence is no longer
45
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.159
needed or wanted. Walt has Harry Callahan's contempt for bureaucracy
46
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.520
and political correctness. He has the man with no name,
47
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.080
self reliance and willingness to use violence. He has William
48
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.800
Money's haunted relationship with his own capacity for killing. But
49
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.159
he also has something new, the recognition that all of
50
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.360
these qualities might be liabilities in the modern world. Eastwood's
51
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:23.159
performance was his most complex and risky. Walt is genuinely racist,
52
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.080
genuinely unpleasant, genuinely stuck in attitudes and behaviors that most
53
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:33.599
audiences would find reprehensible. But Eastwood also made him recognizably human,
54
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.879
a man whose racism comes from fear and ignorance, rather
55
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.159
than pure malice, whose anger masks genuine grief over losses
56
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.960
he can't articulate. The relationship between Walt and his young
57
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.439
Mong neighbor Thou played by Beibang, develops along familiar lines.
58
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.159
The older man becomes mentor to the younger. The cynical
59
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.879
loner discovers he cares about someone other than himself. The
60
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.319
racist learns that the people he's prejudic against are more
61
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.479
like him than different from him. But Eastwood complicated these
62
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.560
familiar dynamics at every turn. Walt doesn't overcome his racism
63
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.560
through some moment of enlightenment. He remains crude, inappropriate, offensive.
64
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.839
His affection for Tho and his sister Sue doesn't make
65
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.639
him a better person. It just makes him a racist
66
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.240
who cares about specific individuals. That refusal to sentimentalize the
67
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.240
process of overcoming prejudice was typical of Eastwood's mature work.
68
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:35.800
Real change is gradual, incomplete, contradictory. People don't transform themselves
69
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.519
through single revelatory moments. They adjust, compromise, find ways to
70
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.759
be slightly better than they were while remaining fundamentally themselves.
71
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.720
The film's treatment of immigration and cultural change was equally nuanced.
72
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.600
The Muong community isn't presented as either exotic others or
73
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.079
perfectly assimilated Americans. They're individuals dealing with the same problems
74
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:04.279
everyone deals with, family conflict, economic pressure, generational differences, the
75
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.920
challenge of maintaining cultural identity while adapting to new circumstances.
76
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.800
Walt's gradual acceptance of his neighbors isn't based on discovering
77
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.040
there just like him. It's based on recognizing that their
78
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.920
differences don't matter as much as their shared humanity, their
79
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.120
common investment in the neighborhood they all call home. The
80
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.759
film's Detroit setting was crucial to its themes. The city
81
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:33.720
represented everything that had happened to American manufacturing, American communities,
82
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.800
American assumptions about progress and prosperity. Walt's neighborhood was a
83
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.920
microcosm of demographic and economic changes that had transformed the
84
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.639
entire country, but Eastwood didn't present these changes as entirely negative.
85
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.120
The Mong families brought energy, commitment, and community spirit to
86
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.920
a neighborhood that had been dying. Their presence represented renewal
87
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.240
as much as displacement, opportunity as much as loss, Walt's
88
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:05.079
relationship with the local Catholic priest played by Christopher Carley
89
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.639
provided another layer of complexity. The young priest represents institutional
90
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.519
religion's attempt to provide comfort and meaning in the face
91
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.199
of loss and change. Walt rejects the priest's consolations, but
92
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.639
he also recognizes the man's genuine desire to help. Their
93
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.800
conversations about sin, forgiveness, and the meaning of life aren't
94
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:31.040
resolved through religious conversion or rejection. Instead, they show two
95
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.879
people trying to make sense of mortality and moral responsibility
96
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.839
from different perspectives, finding common ground in their shared recognition
97
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.160
that these questions matter. The film's climax brought together all
98
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.240
of its themes in a sequence that was both surprising
99
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.079
and inevitable. When Thou was brutalized by gang members as
100
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.120
punishment for Walt's interference, Walt faces a choice that echoed
101
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.920
every Eastwood film that had come before. In Dirty Harry,
102
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.560
he would have gotten his gun and eliminated the problem
103
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.600
through superior firepower. In the spaghetti westerns, he would have
104
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.439
out maneuvered his enemies and walked away victorious. In Unforgiven,
105
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.439
he would have killed everyone and been destroyed by the violence.
106
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.680
In Grand Tarino, Walt does something different. He gets his
107
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.759
enemies exactly where he wants them, then sacrifices himself to
108
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.720
ensure they're arrested and prosecuted. He uses their expectations about
109
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.199
him that he's an armed and dangerous old man to
110
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.279
manipulate them into providing evidence of their own crimes. It's
111
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.160
the ultimate evolution of the Eastwood character. Instead of using
112
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.759
violence to solve the problem, Walt uses the threat of violence,
113
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.120
the mythology of violence, the expectation of violence to achieve
114
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.199
a solution that protects the people he cares about while
115
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:52.279
removing himself from their lives. Walt's death isn't heroic in
116
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:58.720
any traditional sense. It's pragmatic, calculated effective. He recognizes that
117
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.800
his presence in the neighborhood, his particular brand of protective violence,
118
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.439
creates more problems than it solves. The only way to
119
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.680
truly help thou Ensue is to remove himself from the
120
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:14.199
equation entirely. But the film also suggests that Walt's sacrifice
121
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.959
has meaning beyond its practical effects. His willingness to die
122
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:21.360
for people he once hated represents a kind of redemption
123
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.600
not complete or perfect, but real enough to matter. As
124
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.279
a director, Eastwood showed the same restraint and confidence he
125
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:34.039
developed over forty years of filmmaking. The film's visual style
126
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.720
was understated, allowing the performances and relationships to carry the
127
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.200
emotional weight. The pacing allowed for both humor and pathos
128
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.840
without undermining either. Most importantly, Eastwood trusted his audience to
129
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.039
understand the complexity of what he was showing them. Walt's
130
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.840
racism wasn't excused or explained away, but it also wasn't
131
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.440
presented as the sum total of his character. His sacrifice
132
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.120
wasn't romanticized, but it also wasn't dismissed as meaningless. The
133
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.279
film was a commercial and critical success, but it was
134
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:09.720
also controversial. Some critics accused Eastwood of perpetuating racial stereotypes
135
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.000
while claiming to critique them. Others praised him for his
136
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.559
honest examination of American racism in Demographic Change. But the
137
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:21.159
most significant aspect of Grand Tarino was what it represented
138
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:25.200
for Eastwood's career. Many assumed it would be his final performance,
139
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.080
his last word on the screen, persona that had defined
140
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.159
him for fifty years. The film certainly worked as a
141
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.960
summation and conclusion, showing what happens when the strong, silent
142
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.399
type confronts his own obsolescence. Let's take a break here.
143
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.600
When we come back, we'll talk about what Grand Tarino
144
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.960
meant for American cinema's treatment of race and immigration, how
145
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.440
it influenced discussions about masculinity and aging, and why Eastwood's
146
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.159
apparent farewell to acting became something more complex and lasting.
147
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.159
Grand Tarino appeared at a moment when America was grappling
148
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:11.320
with rapid demographic change, economic uncertainty, and questions about national
149
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.720
identity that hadn't been this urgent since the Civil Rights era.
150
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.799
The film didn't provide answers to these challenges, but it
151
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.720
provided a framework for thinking about them that was both
152
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:25.240
honest and hopeful. Walt Kowalski represented a significant portion of
153
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:30.519
the American population, white, working class, older Americans who felt
154
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:34.320
displaced by economic and cultural changes they didn't understand and
155
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.879
couldn't control. These were people who had worked hard, played
156
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.879
by the rules, and discovered that the rules had changed
157
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.559
while they weren't looking. Eastwood's genius was in making Walt
158
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:49.279
both sympathetic and reprehensible, both a victim of historical forces
159
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.120
beyond his control and responsible for his own choices about
160
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:57.639
how to respond to those forces. The film neither condemned
161
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.720
nor excused Walt's racism, but it showed how that racism
162
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.720
developed and how it might be overcome. The film's treatment
163
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:10.720
of intergenerational relationships was particularly sophisticated. Walt's relationship with his
164
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.799
own sons showed how economic prosperity could create emotional distance,
165
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.159
how middle class comfort could lead to disconnection from the
166
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:23.200
values and experiences that created that comfort. His relationship with
167
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:27.679
Thou showed the opposite possibility that mentorship and mutual respect
168
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.559
could bridge not just generational gaps, but cultural ones as well.
169
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.039
Walt and Thou didn't understand each other's backgrounds, but they
170
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.279
understood each other's need for purpose, dignity, and belonging. That theme,
171
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:45.159
the possibility of connection across difference became central to discussions
172
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.240
about American identity in the Obama era. Grand Tarino suggested
173
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.759
that Americans didn't need to become the same in order
174
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.600
to live together successfully. They needed to recognize their common
175
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.960
investment in community, their shared desire for safety and prosperity,
176
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.960
their mutual dependence on each other's success. The film's portrayal
177
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:11.320
of masculinity was equally complex. Walt embodied traditional masculine virtues
178
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:18.200
self reliance, physical courage, protective instincts, practical competence, but the
179
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.360
film also showed how those virtues could become liabilities when
180
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:27.600
taken to extremes, how masculine independence could become isolation, how
181
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:32.960
protective instincts could become destructive violence. Walt's ultimate choice to
182
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.080
sacrifice himself rather than resort to violence represent a new
183
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.559
kind of masculine heroism. Instead of proving his strength through dominance,
184
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.960
he proved it through sacrifice. Instead of protecting others by
185
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.759
destroying their enemies, he protected them by removing himself from
186
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:55.000
the equation. That evolution of masculine heroism reflected broader cultural
187
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.639
changes in how Americans thought about gender roles, family responsibilities,
188
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.480
and community leadership. The strong, silent type was no longer sufficient.
189
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:10.559
Modern masculinity required emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and the ability
190
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:15.240
to build rather than just destroy. The film's economic themes
191
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:20.080
were also significant. Walt's neighborhood represented the decline of American manufacturing,
192
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.879
the hollowing out of working class communities, the way global
193
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:28.200
economic forces could destroy local institutions that had taken generations
194
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.399
to build. But the film also showed how those same
195
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.559
communities could be renewed through immigration, how new Americans could
196
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.840
invest in and revitalize places that established Americans had abandoned.
197
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.000
The Long Families brought not just different cultures, but different
198
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:48.519
approaches to community building, family responsibility, and economic cooperation. That
199
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.600
theme became central to debates about immigration policy, urban development,
200
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:57.159
and economic renewal. Grand Turino suggested that immigration wasn't just
201
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:02.120
about helping newcomers, it was about helping established communities rediscover
202
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:07.240
values and practices they had lost. The film's religious themes
203
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.559
were handled with Eastwood's characteristic subtlety. Walt's final confession to
204
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.960
the young priest wasn't a conversion experience, but a practical
205
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.600
recognition that some ritual might be useful for organizing his
206
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:23.679
thoughts and preparing for death. The confession itself, Walt's admission
207
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.000
that he kissed another man's wife at a New Year's
208
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.440
party decades earlier, was both anti climactic and profound. It
209
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.519
showed that Walt's real sins weren't the dramatic acts of
210
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.799
violence he'd committed in Korea, but the small failures of
211
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:40.039
connection and honesty that had shaped his relationships with his
212
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:44.799
family and community. That understanding of sin as disconnection, rather
213
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:51.679
than dramatic transgression, reflected Eastwood's mature understanding of moral responsibility.
214
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.200
The real damage people do to each other isn't usually
215
00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:00.679
through spectacular acts of violence, but through everyday failures of empathy, understanding,
216
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:05.240
and care. Grand Tourino's influence on American cinema was immediate
217
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:08.799
and lasting. It showed that films about racial and cultural
218
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.600
conflict didn't have to choose between honest examination and hopeful resolution,
219
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.799
that characters could be both flawed and sympathetic, that stories
220
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:21.919
about social change could be both realistic and ultimately optimistic.
221
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:27.159
The film also influenced broader cultural conversations about aging, retirement,
222
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:31.720
and intergenerational relationships. Waltz struggled to find purpose and meaning
223
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.720
after his wife's death reflected challenges facing millions of older Americans,
224
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.960
particularly men whose identities had been built around work in
225
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.080
traditional family roles. His discovery that he could still matter,
226
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.840
still contribute, still form meaningful relationships despite his age and limitations,
227
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:52.960
offered a model for productive aging that went beyond simple
228
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:58.960
lifestyle advice or therapeutic intervention. For Eastwood personally, Grand Tarino
229
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.240
represented both an end and a beginning. If it had
230
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.840
been his final performance, it would have been a perfect
231
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.679
capstone to his career, a role that used everything audiences
232
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.879
knew about him to tell a story about change, growth,
233
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.600
in the possibility of redemption. But Eastwood wasn't quite finished.
234
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.399
He would act in one more film, The Mule, ten
235
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:23.639
years later, and continue directing for another decade. Grand Tarino
236
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.600
wasn't his farewell to performing, but it was his farewell
237
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.639
to a particular kind of performance, a particular way of
238
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.799
embodying masculine strength on screen. The film's box office success
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.919
2
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.719
