Hailee Steinfeld was so good in this movie. She’s incredible at acting mature as a child. It’s such a nuanced performance

@7rollface 2 ай бұрын

Apparently, the Coens saw Steinfeld in the waiting room before her audition and she was on her phone, gossiping, speaking in teenage slang, and they said to each other "she might as well not have bothered showing up" because they could just tell that she wasn't a good fit for the part. And then she came in to the audition and instantly became a completely different person while in-character and absolutely blew them away with how good she actually was.

If you ever want to read a great western novel, "True Grit" is the one. It was written in the 1960's by Charles Portis.

@@otter011 Because he already tried to collapse before that, and Cogburn used a knife to goad him beyond his limit. It was not an uncommon occurance for horses to be goaded to the point their hearts would fail. People in the 19th century, who ride horses for transportation their whole lives, would've been aware of that possibilty. The alternative would be like you say, that Cogburn decided to shoot him for no other reason than he was tired and they couldn't ride him anymore. Why would he do that? That strikes me as a bit incongruous with the character; does that possibility make narrative sense to you?

@waterbeauty85 2 ай бұрын

One thing I do have to concede to the 1969 version is that John Wayne charging on horseback at Robert Duvall and his gang feels much more mythically heroic than Jeff Bridges charging at Barry Pepper. Kim Darby's Mattie even cheers for John Wayne's Rooster exclaiming "No grit? Not much!!" - a favorite line from the older version which isn't in the Coen brothers' version. In retrospect, I believe this difference is quite deliberate on the Coens' part. The John Wayne version glorifies/romanticizes a scene of violent action, and the Coens are not romanticists.

It's funny when people of modern sensibilities are confronted with how adults acted towards "children" even just 40 years ago, let alone in the late 1800s. Almost no one at this time would have considered a 14 year old to be a child, and they would have been right. In terms of emotional maturity, a 14 year-old from back then would be very similar to a 19 or 20 year-old today, especially if said 19 or 20 year-old ended their formal schooling with high school. A first- or second-year college student probably would still be behind the emotional development that a 14 year-old from this time would have had.

That's not how it works. No matter what your life experiences you physically don't have the grey matter at fourteen that you have at 20. Your brain is still growing until you're 25. Your brain like every other part of your body is a machine and a 14 year old brain doesn't physically have the hardware that a 20 or 25 year old brain does. It doesn't matter how good the software is.

This might sound funny in 2024, but True Grit is a big deal. That's why so many top tier actors and producers wanted to be part of the remake. The original was acted by John Wayne, and he was awarded the only Oscar for best actor of his career. When I heard they were making a remake, my heart sank. I just knew that "modern" Hollywood would screw it up. But thankfully the remake was in many ways better than the original. It feels more authentic. Having never read the book (I need to fix that) from what I hear the remake is closer to the book than the 1969 original. Maybe it's because Hollywood in the 60's was a very different animal, and much more attention was payed in this movie to the mannerisms, speech patterns, and brutality of the times. You would never see severed fingers on a table in a John Wayne movie... I grew up only an hour away from Fort Smith. Fort Smith is famous because of Judge Parker "The Hanging Judge". I have visited the old part of the city, and a historically accurate reconstruction of the gallows are still there. The scenes in Fort Smith in the movie is very close to how the actual Fort Smith was at the time. The whole movie feels right. I never get tired of watching a 14 year old girl outwit the pony salesman. :)

My first Coen Brothers movie was Barton Fink, and I was mesmerized by the style. It's still my favourite and I highly recommend watching it. I guess it's not one that will bring a big audience because it's not so well known, but watch it in your own time if not for the channel 🙂.

SSSSSSS (a movie) is a must. Please put it on your list.

The 1969 version is THE version for me!

I'm a huge Coens fan, but I prefer the original 1969 movie.

When this remake was first announced I was really hoping they would either dramatically change the snake bite narrative arch or eliminate it entirely, but … oh well. It's super cheesy, but the movie as a whole redeems it.

19:08 It's pretty cool that Kate Bishop gets a shot at Thanos here. Good thing her aim improved over time. 22:27 And the Universe is saved.

Addie you should give director Wes Anderson films a view. Another director that hasn't made a bad film. The world he creates is very inviting and colorful. Moonrise Kingdom is a perfect film IMO. Thanks for all that you do.

Alas, Wes' films don't get many reactions. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has gotten the most. I've seen a couple for "The Royal Tenenbaums" and one for "Fantastic Mr. Fox," but that's about it. 😮‍💨

I’ve seen the original movie, and while I liked it, I enjoyed this version a lot more.

I think you should have watched the 1969 John Wayne True Grit. If you’re looking for another western. I would say El Dorado, Rooster Cogburn (...and the Lady), Rio Bravo, The Cowboys, All John Wayne. Tombstone, 3:10 to Yuma, Silverado, for non-John Wayne

Addie Angel 😇 she wasn't a Child. She was 14, back then teenagers didn't exist. Responsibility like hard work came early. Maybe the law didn't recognize them as adults, but people expected them to act like them. Today people act immaturely no matter how old they are.
