Ng: In Defense of Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino, Now Under Attack from Left-Wing Cancel Mob
It was only a matter of time before the left-wing cancel mob came for Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood's 2008 movie about a bigoted retired autoworker and his Asian Hmong neighbors. The racial epithets spewed by protagonist Walt Kowalski are so prolific that it's hard to imagine the movie being released under today's ultra-woke Hollywood standards.

R.C.: Clint’s most recent ex-wife is of mixed race heritage.

N.S.: As with Trumpists, Eastwood's slavish fans like to act as though he were anti-PC, but he's quite pc. In The Outlaw Josey Wales, the Injuns are the good guys and most of the Whites are the scum of the Earth. Later, he made a hagiograhic pic about black supremacist terrorist Nelson Mandela, another pic in which a black man on Death Row is proved innocent, and my understanding is that in Gran Torino, his "Archie Bunker" character eventually sees the light.

Yes, Eastwood's "Archie Bunker" character in Gran Torino "sees the light" by the end.

Just recently watched Clint's Gran Torino and like most of his movies it was filled with PC cliches, especially oriented toward the diversity agenda. His character was an Archie Bunker type character who "evolved" due to a relationship formed with an Hmong neighbor who, following typical cliches, was a good kid being pressured into criminal gang activity. If Clint really had guts he would have made his neighbors black instead of Hmong, then the Woke mob would really have gone for him.
Eastwood is supposedly a Hollywood conservative but I haven't heard much from him or seen anything in his movies that proves it.
The two movies about Iwo Jima. The one has the Japs as noble heroes.
