Fans of "Classic Cars" do not need to frown. Although there is a family of Chinese immigrants who distracted from time to time, most of the film is still Eastwood's one-man show. And the taciturn, alone old man, is exactly like the old man's long-lost iconic character-Detective Harry. In fact, this is not the old version of Harry. The new era has changed drastically. The cowboy’s wild sandy territory has become a modern urban concrete jungle. Criminals hide in every corner of the city, and the marginal characters are struggling in adversity. It is said that the old man who is most fascinated by "anti-hero characters" is not a real hero.
Eastwood's directorial career is still alive and well. Although there are many violent scenes in the film, this tragicomedy still gives people great enlightenment. Although the road to redemption for Eastwood's character is as long as a mile, this film is definitely worth your investment. Eastwood is becoming more and more like Woody Allen. In the films he directs, the quality that he does not appear in himself is better.
In this ubiquitous world of temptation, it is not easy to grow up. Therefore, from being disinterested at the beginning to voluntarily later, Walt eventually became the "spiritual father" of Xiao Tao who lacked paternal love in his life. If you read it more broadly, this is not only that Walt of "Old Cars" wants to redeem the sin of alienating his son and causing his lack of paternal love, but also that Eastwood, as an elder, is calling for the society to care about the growth of young people.
