In the film Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood plays a man who has nothing left to live for. His wife has died; his children want to put him in a nursing home and forget about him; his neighborhood has become overrun by ethnic gangs. Eastwood's character is like a foreigner in his own home. His neighbors speak Korean or Spanish; the teenagers who walk the streets are as dangerous as the men he fought in the Korean War. Eastwood has to relearn how to live in a world where he seems to no longer be in control of his surroundings.
