Thesis.

The thesis in my Gran Torino review is the following at the end of paragraph two:
"Although Eastwood is convincing in his rendition of nearly every middle class white racist grandpa in the country, the symbolism is thinly veiled, the cinematography is almost cartoonish at times, and the acting always falls short of realistic."

How I would revise my entire piece is I would take out all of the personal pronouns that I used quite often. I would also clarify some of the jokes I tried to pull off that actually just turned out vague, and I would ease up on Grandpa Kowalski, I talked only briefly about the merits of this film, I think. Maybe just a little more of the positive so the readers don't think I was just having a good time trashing the film (you got me).
