My favorite line in the film "I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world as it is is vexing enough." It's from the Portis novel, but so supremely Coen-ish!

The part where she shoots her father's murderer, and she immediately gets knocked back into a pit of snakes is very biblical. She takes revenge and gets punished for it. The whole point of the film is that revenge is in god's hands and seeking it will harm us further than what we are avenging. She single-mindedly goes after revenge and has a bitter life because of it.

The "rope repells snakes" is an old wive's tale purporting that the stiff fibers of a hemp rope would go in between a snake's belly scales and tickle them, therefore causing them to turn back.

When Cogburn and LaBeouf are talking about where they served, they're talking about the Civil War. They were both Confederate soldiers but had vastly different experiences. LaBeouf was in Robert E. Lee's much celebrated and glorified Army of Northern Virginia, fighting conventional battles in the Eastern theater (Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania). Cogburn was a guerilla fighting under William Quantril in Missouri and Kansas. The fighting in that part of the country was highly unconventional,and though smaller in scale, was in many ways much more brutal, with raiders on both sides committing numerous atrocities. These widely different experiences provide the context that explain the different methods and philosophies between the two. By the way, a fantastic movie that captures the reality of the guerilla aspects of the Civil is The Outlaw Josey Wales, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.

The venom sucking thing was a widely held belief until not very long ago. In reality once the venom is injected it is in your cardiovascular system in a few heartbeats. The only treatment is antivenom or antibiotics to prevent infection. Even today some snake bites result in amputation.

Cogburn was in the Missouri/Arkansas area during the war. It was a particularly vicious style of warfare an involved raiding homesteads and murdering civilians as often as not. The movie Outlaw Josie Wales is an awesome Clint Eastwood movie who’s character has a similar back story.

The original was John Wayne’s only Oscar win. So good it spawned a sequel costarring Katheryn Hepburn. Also worth watching. Another great one guys!

Hailee Steinfeld was so powerful in this. I read the book in anticipation of this coming to theaters and I even thought that role was impossible to do justice to onscreen. But I was wrong. She commanded excellence and more than kept up with her elders. Such a strong movie all around.

The original "True Grit" with John Wayne was my grandpa's favorite movie and he would watch it once a month if not more. I grew up watching it, so when this movie came out i was very familiar with the plot but was blown away by the acting.

Another great Coen Bros. movie. The cast was darn fantastic, the extras all looked like they belonged in that setting, and from The Dude to Rooster Cogburn, Jeff Bridges still manages to be darn hysterical all throughout the movie at times.

Re the early argument between Rooster and LeBeouf: most US Civil War histories focus on set-piece battles between uniformed armies commanded by famous generals. But in the western frontier (Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska), the fighting was guerilla combat that frequently took the form of outright terrorism -- groups of renegades burning towns and executing "disloyal" townspeople, including men, women, and children. Future outlaws like Jesse James learned their craft as guerilla fighters. One of the most brutal guerilla leaders was William Quantrill, the "Captain Quantrill" that LeBeoeuf and Rooster argued about, who infamously burned the town of Lawrence, Kansas, to the ground and killed most of the townspeople. The guerilla war fueled decades of bitter feelings, and Cogburn and LeBeouef had different feelings about it.

Damn, Domhnall Gleeson’s scream at 15:48 was so loud you could barely hear Simone’s screaming. I remember that moment watching this in the theater and a lot of people just leaped out of their seats in disbelief.

"Fill your hands you Sonofabi**h!". A great line from the original, the only time John Wayne ever really swore on film!

The moment when they realized they had fallen prey to checkov's snake was the best

Maddie Ross in the end displayed true grit as well as Rooster. Hailee Steinfeld was tremendous in this and deserves her success.

I am British and can confirm that 'Muffin walloper' is indeed a euphemism for something gross, and we all know that Simone knew exactly what she was doing. Tut tut Simone, tut tut.

"The tag line: Punishment comes one way or another; so, someone's gonna get it. Ooooh-weeee." Another gem of advice from Simone. Love you Simone!

William Quantrill was a Confederate officer who refused to stop fighting even after Lee surrendered at Appomattox. In the context of the movie, Rooster was a follower of Quantrill, and continued fighting along with him and his raiders. Edit: William Quantrill was shot and captured before Lee surrendered, therefore I am wrong in my statement that he kept fighting. Thanks @robertcampbell8070 for the correction. Sorry about that!!

"Oh shit, there's Matt Damon!" Needs to be the default response when he appears on screen.

It's an injustice that Hailee Steinfeld doesn't share top billing on that poster. She is _at_ least as big a part of this movie.

That song at the end - 'Leaning On the Everlasting Arms' sung by Iris Dement just fits the ending so perfectly. The words are a hymn from 1887.

Greetings from Fort Smith, Arkansas. This town was historically the "last stop" for law and order during the 1800s. US Marshals would travel over the Arkansas river in to Indian territory and bring back wanted criminals to stand trial in Fort Smith. "The Hanging Judge Parker" was locally famous for sentencing 160 people to death (79 being executed) over his 21 year career.

I love Hailee Steinfield in this movie, she absolutely someone the show while acting against some powerhouse actors in this movie. I was really disappointed when she chose to pursue a career in pop music after this, but thankfully she is back to doing acting recently, including voice-acting as Gwen in the Spider-verse films.

This has to be up there as not only one of the best remakes in cinema history but also the finest Coen brothers movie. Hailee Steinfeld was well deserving of the Oscar nomination for this, her big screen debut at the age of 13. I wish we had seen her in more roles since, although she shone in Dickinson and Hawkeye.

Great Reaction guys!!!!! This remake was nominated for 10 Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor (Bridges), Best Supporting Actress (Steinfeld), Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing. Loved the movie, was not surprised by Bridges great acting but was blown away by 13yr old Hailee Steinfeld starring in her first feature film! She referred to Cogburn as having "True Grit", when in fact its she who really has True Grit. One fun fact, Hailee recalls how everyone on the set treated her so kindly, but she did have a swear jar which was filled mostly by Bridges.. LOL!! Take care guys!! XOXO

My grandmother was married at age 14 (1930s) Many people, especially in rural farm communities, rarely exceeded 8th grade (junior high) in school. Many were off to breeding their brood of 8-15 kids, seeing is how many died at a young age.

A good remake. Tough frontier women. When my grandmother had scarlet fever when a young woman operating the local phone plug board, her parents put her in a shed, and fed her with plates of food left at the door so they could avoid contagion, 100 years ago. Her eyes were weakened, and she had to wear rose tinted glasses the rest of her life. Miss you, grandma!

I wish George could have seen Simone’s face when the movie ended. He was excited about the movie but the look on Simone’s face seemed so sad. While they both enjoyed the movie they seemed to come away thinking quite differently about it.

The novel was written in 1968 and the original film was released in 1969. John Wayne received his only Oscar for his portrayal of Roosrer Cogburn. A role he would reprise in a 1975 film of the same name. The original also starred singer/songwriter/ musician Glen Cambell as the Texas Ranger, Dennis Hopper in the Josh Brolin role, and Kim Darby, (John Cusack's weird mom in "Better Off Dead") as Mattie.

The original is definitely worth watching! Such a classic, I also recommend watching the original 310 To Yuma and the new one.

Here's an excellent analysis of the final gunfight/ending I've always enjoyed reading: To me, the beauty of this scene lies in how it maintains the story's general theme of hopelessness and hardship, while calling back to claims multiple characters have made that were dismissed as tall tales. This scene suggests that, even in the hopeless despair of the film's setting, people occasionally live up to their hype. Rooster Cogburn, earlier in the film, is laughed at when he claims to have defeated groups as large as four in gunfights. He insists that if you ride against four or more aggressively enough, some of them will run, and you only need to out-shoot the one or two who don't flinch. Later, LaBoeuf questions his ability to aim with one eye, and he's too drunk to demonstrate his skills properly. For most of the film, Rooster is portrayed as too old and fat, and too ravaged by alcoholism, to live up to his own fearsome reputation. In this scene, however, he shows himself capable of steering the reins with his teeth while riding at high speeds, and still wielding two guns accurately - a feat only a small number of people in the world could match today. Furthermore, he lands five direct hits with four shots. He misses once, kills two on the spot, fatally wounds his main target and the fourth retreats wounded. It's a display of gunfighting on a par with the wildest rumors about him, showing that, however much of a failure he is as a husband, father, soldier and lawman, he is indeed a fighter of true grit. Rooster similarly lacks respect for LaBeouf, laughing at him when he claims to have once nearly caught their original quarry while pursuing him on horseback. LaBeouf describes having attempted to shoot him from a great distance, electing to shoot while moving rather than while properly grounded. Roster mocks him, saying that he "couldn't hit at man (at the distance described) if he were (grounded) on the Rock of Gibralter." In this scene, LaBeouf doesn't interfere with the gunfight because he has little chance of hitting moving targets from such a distance. When Rooster is in danger, however, he's forced to attempt a shot from a greater distance than in his earlier claims - the camera even highlights that with the weaponry of the time, he has to make the shot without a scope of any kind, using only the barrel of the gun as a visual aid. By landing such a miraculous shoot, LaBoeuf saves Rooster's life while also validating his identity as a marksman. In this scene, just once, the two characters live up to their bravado and things work out. - from the comment of @brettzforeman on another video

As a brazilian I love this movie, so cool to see a very accurate representation on what the old west probably was, but I can understand about 10% of whatever Jeff Bridges is saying 😂

I find the choice of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” to be kinda poignant, it is of course appropriate to the character and also old enough to not be anachronistic, but Rooster ends up carrying her at the end, for who knows how long, with seemingly, literally, everlasting arms.

This movie always touches home for me. The town Fort Smith is where I am from. My grandpa reminded me of Rooster as a kid (John Wayne’s portrayal) thank you for doing this movie.

Rooster was with William Clarke Quantrill, who headed a band of Confederate guerillas ('irregulars') in Missouri. Some members of this group went on to careers as outlaws after the War, including the James Gang. (One of them, Cole Younger, is portrayed briefly at the end of this movie.) LaBoeuf served in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. Robert E. Lee, a regular army that was tightly controlled and obeyed the conventions of warfare. For people in the regular Army and the Confederate Government, raiders like the ones in Missouri were often an embarrassment.

As an Australian with Canadian cousins: yes you are a different species. I remember crying when I was 10 wading in the ocean off Vancouver Island, because I'd never been so cold before. My Montreal and Boston cousins were confounded by my thin skin.

Both this version and the original are excellent films. I love them both. John Wayne won his only oscar as Rooster Cogburn. Also the term True Grit is actually referring to Maddie Ross and her unstoppable determination to avenge her fathers murder.

My favorite western alongside the remake to 3:10 to Yuma.

I remember in an interview when this movie came out that Matt Damon said to play his character with a bit tongue he put one of his daughter's hair-ties around his tongue and tried to talk as clearly as he could to simulate a man with an injured tongue trying to enunciate as well as he can.

Girls got married as young as 12 at the time. They weren't considered adults, per se. But, puberty meant they were old enough for...relations. And y'all still need to see Raising Arizona.

Keep in mind that while Mattie Ross is a child on screen it is her much older spinster self that is telling the story so it actually is that voice we are hearing.

I've always loved this movie. Hailee Steinfeld should have won Best Actress (she was nominated for Supporting Actress, even though she has the most screen time). Also, I definitely recommend watching with the English Captions turned on, just to appreciate all the vernacular in the dialog.

In the book, it's abundantly clear that LaBoeuf pronounces his name "Labeef", so it's correct in this context. 🙂

This is one of those movies that has a look and a feel that stands out among other films. Some movies you forget about in a couple of days. With this one, there are whole scenes and sequences that I would never forget... even if I had only seen it once.

If you had told me that anyone could remake this film and make me forget John Wayne , I'd have said you were crazy. But Bridges did it, and this is a better film than the original.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is another great movie a lot like this one. It's a western, but mostly an adventure story. From 1948 starring Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt and Walter Huston.

Both cogburn and le boeuf fought for the confederates, but as irregular horsemen - guerrillas. The outfit cogburn fought with - which was real - half the time fought as gueriila and spent the other half robbing banks and suchlike. Some of the robbing was to support their fighting but a lot of it was for personal gain. In the borderlands thats how the civil war went. Thats also the circumstances that created a lot of the outlaw gangs and outlaws, like the james brothers, who did fight under Captain William Quantrill’s command for real. The also committed numerous massacres of union soldiers and civilians. That’s why le boeuf is so outraged. As a side note, Cole Younger - the old guy at the end - was also one of Quantrill’s original guerrilla group and a major outlaw in his own right. The idea with the rope is that a snake wont slither over a rope. So you put the rope around you on the ground. Ive spent plenty of time in the wild and never done that. No idea if it works.

People always assume the being Canadian means we ALL get subjected to feet of snow and ice roads, every winter. If only we could explain the mildness of winters on the Southern BC coast.

Lol Simone reminds me of the gopher from Caddyshack when George is reading their list of patrons. 😂

Hailee has been one of the best actors in the business since she was a child. She's been a comedic talent from day one. It's so impressive

The novel is one of the best I've read. This film is very faithful to it, and that charming, stilted manner of "American western" speech comes directly from the text. I'm glad you watched this!

King bolts are the big pin that hold rail cars or wagons together. For purposes here it'd be like a billy club made of metal.

You should look into "The ballad of Buster Scruggs" at some point. Also by the Coen brothers and have some slightly different takes on westerns.

You should watch the interviews where the Coen Brothers & cast talk about how with such an all-star cast, the only big question was how to find a little girl who could pull off that part. And in her first movie appearance, Hailee Steinfeld, age 13, was nominated for the Academy Award for best actress.

I’ve seen this a million times, and this is easily my favorite cohen bros film, but I just noticed something has changed. Suddenly I got choked up watching rooster carry Maddie until he collapsed. I’m pretty sure I’ve tears in my eyes mainly because now I’ve got two kids of my own. Both are about Maddie’s age, and yeah. I think this might be the first time that I truly felt the impact of what he did. As soon as that snake bit her, she became his daughter. I can’t believe I never picked up on it. And being as old as I am now, I can totally guarantee he couldn’t walk for at least a week afterwards.

Moon, one who lost fingers before losing his life, was played by Domhnall Gleason, who played Caleb in "Ex Machina," Bill Weasley in "HP and the Deathly Hollows", and General Hux in Star Wars episodes 7 to 9.

I don't know about girls in 18whatever but in the 1920s my great grampa left school age of 12 to become the main breadwinner. On that wage half his dozen siblings survived infancy. Non-sheltered kids grew up fast in them days, and suffered mentally and physically for it. Good movie.

Hell yes, I love this movie! I want a whole spin off about Forrester, the Bear Dentist!

First time I saw this i couldn't stop thinking about what a wonderful adaptation thisvis and what an amazing actress Hailee is! And now that i am watching the two of you react to it, those are still the thoughts at the front of my mind.

Quantrill was a renegade Confederate who raided and massacred Union settlements in East Kansas. After the Civil War ended, most Confederate troops were given a general amnesty, but Quantrill’s Raiders were considered terrorists and were pursued by authorities. Frank and Jesse James were among them; hence, their train robbing spree.

The book by Charles Portis is one of my favorite books ever; I've reread it many times, but then, I'm partial to great writing. You probably know that this was the second filming of the book, the first being the terrific one from 1969 with John Wayne. They are both classics and I would be hard pressed to say which is my favorite, though for sentimental reasons, I would give the edge to Wayne. The Duke or the Dude? Both incredible; both abide. You would not do wrong to view the earlier version too. Or read the book.

Loved this movie enough to see it twice at the theater. The 1969 version starring John Wayne is also fantastic and worth checking out.

At 4:40 liability was a sketchy thing with "frontier justice." Usually it came down to "that makes sense to me." That's not to say that there weren't laws, there weren't lawyers, and there weren't hard readings of complex propositions to get out of liability (or a noose), but the burden of proof for guilt was not what it is now here or in Canada.

The argument between Laboef and Cogburn centered on their actions during the War Between the States or Civil War (depending on if you are from the South or the North.) Laboef served in the regular Confederate army, while Cogburn 'served' with irregulars (a group that included the James brothers) that were seen as no more than terrorists even by many Southerners.

One of my all time favorites! Honestly this is the movie that made me a Western fan

You have watched one other Coen movie you didn't mention on the channel, The Big Lebowski. Obviously, this reunites the Coen Brothers with Jeff Bridges, for the first time since that film. As you noted, and I have mentioned in the Patreon comments, this is an adaptation of a book. I am on the paid tier on another channel where I requested this movie (it has yet to be made public, although it could always turn into a Patreon exclusive someday), and in anticipation of that, I read the book, and it is amazing how closely the Coens capture the tone and humor of the novel, which is surprisingly sharp-witted -- a perfect fit for the Coen Brothers. The John Wayne version of the movie is fine, but it doesn't capture the book at all. The film was the debut of Hailee Steinfeld, who has gone onto be in many things. Someone else mentioned the Spider-Verse movies, where she voices Spider-Gwen, and she's also in the MCU properly elsewhere, although I won't say who she plays in case you haven't gotten there. She was also on an Apple TV show called "Dickinson," and in the Pitch Perfect sequels. She was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance, and deservingly so. Bridges was also nominated, along with the Coens for both directing and the adaptation, and the film for Best Picture, among others, for a total of 10 nominations. Sadly, it didn't win any of them. Your guess is correct: the rope tricks snakes into thinking there is another snake, or at least that's my understanding. As for the body, the guy with the bear suit specifically says he 1) does dentistry and 2) wants the body's teeth, for practice or study. There are probably other people who could make use of the body in a similar fashion. Beyond that, who knows...maybe it's better we don't get the details. As I say whenever you cover one of their films, the Coens are, in my opinion, among the greatest working filmmakers. They have many other gems, both big and small. A couple other ones that are very popular on KZfaq include Raising Arizona and O Brother Where Art Thou?, and some ones that are just great and I'd love to see you cover because they're great are Blood Simple (which was covered by TBR Schmitt), The Hudsucker Proxy (which they wrote with Sam Raimi), Miller's Crossing, The Man Who Wasn't There, Burn After Reading, and A Serious Man. Really, I could name their whole catalog, but I'm going to try and limit myself to just naming half of it.

Hailee Steinfeld was deservedly Oscar-nominated for this role.

It was once believed that if you were sleeping on the ground, if you circled yourself with a rope a snake would not cross it. Quantrill was a guerilla fighter in Missouri who was considered an outlaw by the Union. Jesse and Frank James rode with another group of guerillas with a leader called Bloody Bill Anderson.

One of the Cohen’s best. When she yells “Stand up, Tom Chaney!” I remember my eyes welling with tears, then she just shoots him! True grit. She followed through on everything. So did Rooster. Sloppily, sure, but he did it.

I love how they treated this remake they kept the comedy and heart of the original but made it a little darker and shot it so beautifully on modern cameras. I grew up watching all the old Westerns with my grandparents and John Wayne's portrayal of Rooster was everyone's favourite.

Hailee Steinfeld who portrays Mattie also portrays Kate Bishop in Hawkeye and is the VA for Gwen Stacey

15:18 That`s Domhnall Gleeson (who played Bill Weasley), the son of Brendan Gleeson, (who played Mad-Eye Looney in Harry Potter) :)))

So weird that Hailee Steinfeld didn't get her name in large print on the poster when she has the biggest part. She was great in Hawkeye and Dickinson too. Maybe also watch the John Wayne (1969) version of True Grit, see how you think it compares.

No, 14 was not thought of how we think of it today. That’s about when women would start getting married. I myself still have to keep that in mind when I watch this movie, and while I appreciate the realism, it still feels weird as a modern audience member. Cogburn was part of a vicious outfit (based on a real outfit of the same name) in the Civil War as part of the confederacy. LaBeouf was also a part of the confederacy, but he served with “honor”. “Quantrill’s Raiders” were notorious even within the confederacy as being huge pieces of shit. Jesse James and his brother served in that detachment. Lucky Ned admires and is amused by Mattie’s gusto, and also isn’t SO psycho that he’s just gonna execute a little girl, which is clearer in the book. He is truly adamant in his order to Chaney that she not be touched. I think his likability can also be attributed to how charming Barry Pepper (the actor’s name, funny enough) is. Also, Hailee Steinfeld (Mattie) is the voice of Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Verse movies.

You mistake being driven for being mature. She’s not mature. Otherwise, she’d have a more tempered view of her limitations. She’s driven to vengeance.

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms by Iris Dement is the song that plays at the end.

The dialogue in both this movie and the original with John Wayne (also a must-watch) was taken practically verbatim from Charles Portis’s novel of the same name. The novel is definitely worth reading if you ever get the chance.

Being able to understand Rooster's speech depends on how familiar you are with southern accents. I'm a native Texan and had no trouble understanding him. Also, it probably doesn't help that they were also using archaic/regional words.

11:15 A lot of old timers used to think that snakes would not cross a braided rope, so they would lay it out around their bedroll. (edit to add that this does not work. Snakes slither right over the rope and cuddle next to your warm body while you are sleeping.)

Pretty bold talk for a one eyed fat man!! - my favorite line from both versions.

Another Coen Brothers film to check out is The Hudsucker Proxy. It is a sadly overlooked film but absolutely worth a reaction.

Coincidentally, I watched the original just the other day. It might be worth watching to compare the two😊

Matt Damon’s character was played by Glen Campbell in the original.

As I saw your reaction to the violence… you two should watch Bone Tomahawk 😁👍

As good as this remake is, and it's very good, the original with John Wayne is the version I'll over and over again. Although Hailee Steinfeld is a better "baby sister," Mattie Ross, in my opinion.

The concept of children being treated as children, as opposed to adults who haven't grown up yet, is relatively recent. In the time of the story, if a 14 year old turned up and started behaving like an adult they would often be treated as one, whereas now we would just say 'is somebody looking after you?'

To elaborate on the rope; snakes don't like the feeling of a raw rope on their bellies so if you lay one down they generally won't cross it. This makes a rope an easy way to prevent snakes creeping in your bedroll.

I don’t usually like remakes when I’m a fan of the original but I think they did a really good job with this one.

Possibly unpopular opinion, but I like THIS version better than the John Wayne version. (Not much of a John Wayne fan anyway.) For this being her first film, Hailee Steinfeld practically stole the show. It's a shame she didn't WIN the Oscar, though she did deserve her nomination. And this may be just me, but Metallica's "The Unforgiven III" would've been a perfect song for the closing credits of this film.

At 14, she was probably considered an old maid back then. Lol. My mom got married to my dad when she was only 16. She turned 16 in November and then got married to my dad in December (1959). Dad was 17. They were married 53 yrs when my mom passed away in January 2013. Dad passed away in 2020. Never saw dad cry before until mom died.

So many great lines ….. but my fave exchange is when she says ….. “ why did they have to hang him so high ? “ And he says … “ perhaps in the hopes that it would make him more dead ! “ Paraphrasing

Would love to see you react to the original "True Grit" starring the great John Wayne, which is equally as good as this remake.

You should watch the original. If I'm not mistaken the guy playing the horse boarding stable character is the guy that played the same part. Just a note. True Grit came out 50 years before The Lord of the Rings , though the story follows a similar adventure template.

This is my second favorite Coen brothers film (after Fargo) and my second favorite western (after The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance). So glad you’re reacting to it!

Context of civil war argument: Cogburn was a member of Quantrill's Raiders, which was a Confederate Guerilla unit. Know for being particularly brutal. Ranger was in the regular Confederate Army which abided by the laws of was and hence considered more honorable

The original featuring John Wayne as Rooster is also very good, a classic.

You need to watch the original and the sequel Ruster Cogburn staring John Wain.

Charles Portis wrote about the place he grew up. About its people and its stories. "True Grit" happened to take place during this period of American history. It doesn't quite fit with the Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour brand of Western writing which a lot of Hollywood films took from back when "True Grit" was first published. Times change, however. The John Wayne version appeared to overshadow the novel as it fell out of print at one point before recently being rediscovered as a great piece of 20th century literature. The original adaptation of "True Grit" is a fine example of old Hollywood Western films, and people are dedicated to them, but time has brought us newer ways of looking at this point in American history, films like Coen Brothers' "True Grit" and Iñárittu's adaptation of "The Revenant". The Western is a genre with a long history, one that bleeds into the earliest incarnations of cinema itself.

Someone somewhere was getting their muffin walloped right about now

Probably one of my favourite con brothers films. You should watch inside Llewellyn Davis and o brother where art thou. They are both underrated coen films.
