The mission of the journal is to promote reflection and to encourage, develop, facilitate, and promote professional development for administrators, counselors, and educators working with all members of the Armed Services and their families, whether active duty, guard, reserve, retired, or veteran; civilian employees of the Department of Defense; first responders including EMS, law enforcement, fire, and emergency dispatch personnel; and employees of Local, State and Federal governmental agencies. Welcome to the latest edition of the JMGC. Starting with this issue we will be expanding the JMGC’s offerings to include more and deeper conversations that will help clinicians to better understand and work with military and first responder personnel. We hope to expand our professional perspectives so we can better understand how to work with and support these populations, their families, and their communities. We intend to include perspectives that you may not expect, but that may (re)open our clinical eyes to the many perspectives that can be included in this area of professional work. So, keep those manuscript submissions coming in and contact us if you are interested in being a reviewer for the JMGC.

  • Gran Torino: the Old Cowboy, the Pretty Girl and the Cool Car1 João De
    Gran Torino: The old cowboy, the pretty girl and the cool car1 João de Mancelos (Universidade da Beira Interior) Keywords: Grand Torino, American dream, Hmong, ethnic interaction, hybridity Palavras-chave: Grand Torino, sonho americano, Hmong, interação étnica, hibridismo “Torn from my homelands, I was left to flee. Like dust in the wind, I dispersed silently”. — Shanyia Vang, “My name means free” 1. The silent diaspora Few ethnic groups suffered a diaspora as hard as the Hmong did, forced to abandon China, in the 18th century, and to migrate to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, for political and territorial reasons. Between 1919 and 1921, they fought the French colonial authorities in Indochina; after the defeat of the South in the Vietnam War, they endured the revenge of the northern invaders; in 1975, in the year zero of the revolution, they were massacred by Pol Pot. As a result of all these conflicts, numerous Hmong travelled to the US and France, silently dispersing through several other countries (Vang 17-35). The saga of the Hmong has rarely been object of the interest of the North-American cinematography. One notorious exception is the movie The Killing Fields (1984), directed by Roland Joffé, and winner of three Academy Awards. It denounces tyrant Pol Pot and his campaign of terror and ethnic cleansing, during the civil war. The Cambodian leader and his Khmer Rouge were responsible for mass murdering nearly two million individuals, including intellectuals, proprietors, businessmen, and Hmong anticommunists (Olson and Beal 294). In the field of documentary, few movies approach, with scientific rigor, the challenges faced by the Hmong in the US.

  • Cultural and Religious Reversals in Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino
    RELIGION and the ARTS Religion and the Arts 15 (2011) 648–679 brill.nl/rart Cultural and Religious Reversals in Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino Mark W. Roche and Vittorio Hösle University of Notre Dame Abstract Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino is one of the most fascinating religious films of recent decades. Its portrayal of confession is highly ambiguous and multi-layered, as it both mocks con- fession and recognizes the enduring importance of its moral core. Equally complex is the film’s imitation and reversal of the Christ story. The religious dimension is interwoven with a complex portrayal and evaluation of multicultural America that does not shy away from unveiling elements of moral ugliness in American history and the American spirit, even as it provides a redemptive image of American potential. The film reflects on the shallowness of a modern culture devoid of tradition and higher meaning without succumbing to an idealization of pre-modern culture. The film is also Eastwood’s deepest and most effective criticism of the relentless logic of violence and so reverses a common conception of East- wood’s world-view. Keywords Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood, film and religion, confession, violence, self-sacrifice, Christ, American identity, multiculturalism, redemption lint Eastwood’s standing as an actor and a director has received Cincreasing attention in recent years, not only in popular books, but also in scholarly works. A sign of Eastwood’s reputation is that both Unforgiven (1992), a revisionist Western, and Million Dollar Baby (2004), a film about a struggling female boxer and her moving relationship with her trainer, received Oscars for Best Director and Best Film as well as nominations for Best Actor.
