Gran Torino vs. Up

June 22nd, 2009 § 0 comments

Interesting parallels between two of the best movies to come out of Hollywood lately. Not only about a crotchety widower in an old house who has a change of heart by leaving its confines, but also that he was encouraged to do so by an Asian sidekick. (Indiana Jones’ came too early in his career, it would seem.) And good for Clint, making like JCVD and not miraculously returning to form—as depicted in the Dirty Harry collection advertised in the previews on the disc—amidst his sunset years. I look forward to a similar retirement, and being cheered up by the Jewish kid next door.
