What a masterpiece! There isn't enough positive words for a film like this. It's intelligent, funny, and tragic all at the same time. Clint Eastwood should tie up the entire award season with this. What is key here is the storytelling. Walt Kowalski is a fully realized character through and through, the driving force of the entire film. He brings the supporting cast to his level rather than going down himself. The cinematography is great, even when I broke away for a bit and came back I was still sucked into it. I was laughing and mourning for this movie, a rare feat for any film. I'll remember this when I say that the modern movie doesn't cut it anymore. I'm so glad to be proven wrong. With the right stuff, today's films can be ranked up there with the classics. Thanks, Clint Eastwood.
