Gran Issue Approaching BIG HOLLYWOOD By Brett Joshpe on Mexico Leave it to the out of touch boneheads in Hollywood to exclude the best movie of the year, "Gran Torino" with Client EASTWOOD, from it best picture nominations. If you have not seen it yet, then you should before Sunday's Academy Awards-if for nothing else, to see what Hollywood missed. While there is nothing overtly political about the movie, I am convinced there is something below the surface, something a little too Americana for the Academy's liking. And while watching the movie, I could not help but feel reminded of the explosive immigration issue that will surface again soon.

I saw Gran Torino alone and was a little hesitant to take my wife, thinking she wouldn't like the way it ended. I did take her, and she loved it for the same reasons I did. I thought it was a wonderful story of redemption, forgiveness, and standing up for what's right. It also exposed the left wing line that only white people are prejudiced or racist. I think that's why it didn't receive accolades from the Narcissist Admiration Academy.
