Purpose of this blog: My analysis and your feedback are part of a whole assignment for the class that I am currently taking at NIU titled Visual Culture and Film (ARTE683) . The project includes the writing of a 5 page critical analysis of a film(Gran Torino), posting(in this blog) all or parts of my critique to an audience(you), and presenting(11/30 or 12/7)all of the above to my class. Your feedback will aid in the success of this project. Thank you for your time.
Step 1: Watch the film, Gran Torino.
Step 2: Read the excerpts from my critical analysis listed below or read my full Critical Analysis
Step 3: Provide any thoughts you may have about my critique by clicking on comments at the bottom of the page. Please use my questions to help you respond.

1. Do you think this film is an accurate reflection of social norms?
2. How many men or women do you know that have a similar mentality as Walt?
3. Do you think Walt’s heroic act at the end counteracts his rude and prejudice attitude throughout the film?
4. Do you think it’s important to understand the ethnic background of the characters in this film in order to understand its meaning?
5. How do you think freedom is tied into the meaning of the film?
6. How did you first interpret the ending (before you read this critique) with Walt lying in the cross pose?
