1945 is not a war film. But this film is after WWII in Hungary. It tells the story of a small village and its leader.

The black and white screens slows down everthing but help to focus on the story, feelings and motions all the time.

Good acting.

This film could be Péter Rudolf's best dramatic role until now. Congrat to Péter. József Szarvas, Ágnes Szirtes and others do very good job.

A day I wish I live there could be an extended storyline version where all unfinished stories will be told for other characters in the village...

It must be very intresting storyline to continue....and some missed opportunities we have now could be fullfilled on that day.

First of all, I'm not familiar with Chinese history, so I wouldn't say anything about its historical bases. Still, this movie worth the time with no doubt. No matter where you live.

Powerful, logical and heartbreaking. I say powerful because we got a well painted picture about the main characters in the first half. Yes, the movie does not only focus on the high profile action scenes and blood. That's one of its strengths. The audience - this time it's me - had enough time to acquaint the persons and like them. For this reason losing some of them is a heartbreaking effect in the second half. I think it's not a spoiler. Anyone can guess it who has seen the trailer. The acting is OK (some actors were great, especially Xueqi Wang) but my opinion is that the script and the director have done this movie for that it is. I really enjoyed that the movie has avoid to use mindless clichés, like ultimate fight of good vs. evil. The main bad character had also deep conviction that he has been doing the right thing for his country/highness. As it is so, for me, he was authentic in his role.

Now there's only one word has to be explained - logical. Unfortunately I can't do it without revealing some moments from the story, so I leave it to you. Find it out yourself. If you like heroic tales, you should love it.

I hope this movie will be released on DVD in my country, too.

Once the humankind's going to have a common wish to collect and save the best remembrances of that wonderful thing we called films, I'm sure that Clint Eastwood's name will be painted with golden letters in that safe and nuclear-prof caverns down there. His work and art something must see for the next generations as well.

The Gran Torino itself wasn't the most interesting story I've ever seen. In my opinion some of its topics were told on a better way in the past, furthermore some actors, especially the young boy who played Thao, was weak. Still. This film has an undeniable power which comes from Mr. Eastwood. The character he plays is strong and have the rightful wisdom according to his old age. It's obviously not the wisdom of Walt Kowalski, but the wisdom, mimicry and heart of Mr. Eastwood. He carried the whole film on his old shoulder: get angry, spit and teaches things to a young man. He has gave the power for Walt Kowalski.

My vote was 6 for the story and 10 for Mr. Eastwood's performance so the sum is 8.

(I hope this film's not going to be translated to any language. It's not because of the difficult contexts or anything. It's simply because of well placed emphasis used by Mr. Eastwood. If that ones are not handled carefully by a proper actor, they are going to be lost which will underestimate the whole film for the viewers.)
