Classic movies are always worth remembering again and again, and I personally like that kind of, on-screen story with warm tones.
And "Classic Car" tells a kind of helplessness that belongs to the last years of cowboys, not a classic tough guy movie, but there is a heroic complex that people can't ignore.
In fact, when I first watched the film, I didn't enter the plot of the movie until I saw the garage scene and began to focus on the plot.
Hearing the faint sound of the garage, the tall and mighty veteran man Walter took up his gun, skillfully shot into the garage, in the swinging light, aimed at the nervous boy in the corner, and then the old man approached step by step, but accidentally slipped, so that the boy took the opportunity to grab the door, and Walter, who was lying on the ground, coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Walter fought in the Korean War and had a reclusive personality, which was exacerbated by the death of his wife, and the priest came to Walter at the dinner after the funeral, because Walter's wife had begged him to take care of Walter before his death and ask walter to repent, walter was dismissive of this, and said that a virgin like a priest did not understand the meaning of life and death.
He lives alone in Michigan's Asian immigrant quarter, has an old dog, has a 1972 Ford classic car, usually cherishes it, puts it in the garage, and goes out to drive only his own dilapidated pickup truck.
His neighbors are Asian-Hmong, friends with many people in the community, and there are many people who hold parties at every turn, and Walter despises them for this behavior.
There is also a small gang of local young people in the community, and the distant cousin of the neighbor Child Tao is among them, he sees that his cousin Tao has nothing to do, so he forces him to join his own organization, and the first action is to tell him to steal Walter's specially cherished Ford classic car.
In the end, he found out that the action was fruitless.
Later, the gang forcibly broke into Tao's house, wanted to forcibly take him away, and had a dispute with the family, Walter saw this scene at home, originally did not want to care, but later saw them pulled to the front yard of their own home, so they took a gun to scare the gang away, the neighbor family thanked, but the stubborn old man dismissed.
On the second day, he threw the gifts that the neighbors had placed on the doorstep into the garbage heap to express his tough attitude.
Tao's sister Sue was harassed by several black youths on the road, was seen by Walter, helped again, the enthusiastic Sue is very good at communication, in order to thank Walter, invited Walter to her home as a guest, in the evening Walter found that there was no beer in the house, a person stayed also stayed, went to the neighbor's house to feast.
He tasted the strange food of the Miao family, got along with the neighbors very happily, and found that Tao, who had stolen his car before, was actually very cowardly, and did not dare to say that he liked the girl he liked, and watched her make other boyfriends.
From then on, Walter stopped rejecting the food sent by his neighbors, tasted it with curiosity, and got along more and more with them.
The neighbor's mother takes Tao to Walter's house, hoping that Wall will allow Tao to do some work for Walter as compensation for him stealing the classic car, Walter thinks about it and agrees, and Walter finds that the boy is very capable of repairing the house.
During the conversation with him, he also learned that the reason why Tao had nothing to do before was because the yellow race had difficulty finding jobs in the local area, so he had to hide in his home, and in the face of such a cowardly boy, Walter decided to reform him.
Walter teaches him how to talk in a man's way, and then Walter takes him to pick out tools, takes him to a construction site, introduces Tao to his friends, and gives Him a job.
But bad luck came again, and the gang of gangsters entangled him again, not only damaging his tools, but also scalding his face with cigarette butts, and all this made the hot-tempered Walter find out again, he went directly to the home of a gangster, beat him fat, and warned the gang to stay away from Tao and his family.
Walter, who seems to be strong, is actually very ill, unable to live for a few days, and his son is indifferent to his body.
The gangsters with a cruel personality are very annoyed by walter's warning, and they dare not provoke Walter, who has a gun, so they vent all their emotions on the Tao family.
One night Su returned home, covered in blood, and it turned out that she was intercepted by these little assholes on the road, not only abused and beaten her, but also brutally raped her, seeing her sister so painful, stimulated Tao vowed to take revenge.
Walter told him not to be impulsive, to make some preparations, and then came to him at four o'clock in the afternoon, but when Tao came, he locked him in the basement, and he did not want the young Tao to ruin his future. And he has no days to live, and everything will be over for him.
Walter arrives at the place where the gang lived, and the gang is on guard and comes out of the house with weapons in their hands.
In the face of this group, Walter was not in a hurry, he first used his hand as a gun, aimed at several people, then took out a cigarette, and put his hand into his clothes, the group of thought walter was going to pull out the gun, could not help but panic in their hearts, all the gangsters shot him, Walter fell on the grass, and he did not have any weapons in his hand, and what he pulled out was just a lighter.
This time, there were many people in the community who were witnesses, so the police took the gang to the pot, and Walter left a will, donated the house, and gave his classic car to Tao, and Tao, who drove a classic car with an old dog, ran to a new life with an incomparably relaxed attitude.
In the face of all this, the priest sighed incomparably, and it was Walter who taught him a lesson and made him understand the true meaning of life and death.
