TheRestlessView wow, what you said just so deep, I didn't notice even though watch this movie twice.

"Revenge is a fools game," - Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption 2

That is so good.

Excellent observation. But I think Portis and the Coens are working at a level of artistry that would treat a lesson like that-"don't seek vengeance"-as a bit simplistic. Mattie is clearly a devout Christian, then and as a narrator; she'd understand rationally that God reserved judgment to himself. But as a human being, her impulse and relentless drive is to punish the evildoer herself, so as to be sure it's done. We're invited to see both Rooster and her as admirable and worthy of our love for their capacity for sympathy, despite their willingness to deal out rough justice. The recoil of the rifle that kills Chaney literally puts her in a snake-filled pit, which hugely backs up your point, I have to say. But I think if there's a theme, it's what this brief episode means in these people's lives, and how Mattie comes to love Rooster and LaBoeuf and they her, each in their own way. They protect and save each other. And then are lost to each other, and left with memories. The losses-well, Mattie is a warrior, that's clear in everything. Without risk and loss, it's meaningless, it loses any possible honor. And we understand implicitly that Mattie is honorable. So I think there's a nuanced attitude to revenge and punishment here. The people who were punished deserved it. And the losses of the punishers-I think it's more a price paid. Mattie never complains. Should we be scared away from vengeance, then, by her loss? Just not sure that's an intended message. Nor is the story pro-vengeance. That level of didacticism just isn't commonly found in serious art, is my point.

@@mfreeman313 insightful, though I'm not sure there's a conflict w/ the OP's comment. I read OP's comment as "vengeance is costly". I agree that the film doesn't comment on whether or not she should have sought revenge/taken matters into her own hands. But the film does clearly communicate some of the consequences of doing so. I suppose one must ask themselves if it is worth the cost, or not.

I was hoping a true grit or marshal cogburn in rdr2. Didn't find anything(

Eh, Labeouf brought it on himself with his arrogant Texas personality and assumption of authority/knowing it all. He wasn’t respectful either. Cogburn just enjoyed getting a rise out of him as a result. LaBeouf also almost screwed up the entire manhunt on his own despite always trying to come off as hot shit. His treatment wasn’t unwarranted.

Everytime

Little blackie was quite heroic. My wife has been saying she wants a horse. Maybe I will get one

She was delirious ... you are interpreting after that. Of course she saw the things at which she thought all day long. That doesn’t mean she carries vengeance.

@@legioner9 shut upp

@@LilNicky109 Why?

lol this comment sounds familiar. did you copy paste this from somewhere? you even went as far as editing it. gotta rake in them likes right 😉

@@ninja.saywhat Yes, i did comment in one of the other clips of True Grit, i can't remember wich one

"Magnificent men" eh...... They were ultimately heroes at the end and redeemed themselves but they aren't flawless or even technically great people

I mean Matt Damon character literally in the beginning of the movie told Mattie he thought of violating her.

nope nope “stealing a kiss”

“You give out very little sugar with your pronouncements” 😂

What is this underrating you speak of?

...a big improvement on bumbling bumpkin Glen Campbell

Aidios 😂

Don't forget Joey from War Horse(2011)

Shadow fax from Lord of the rings

shootermav11 Cisco from Dances With Wolves

Let’s not forget about Buell from rdr2

shootermav11 Yes

It got you hard? The fuck nigga keep that to yaself

....and why ride blackie- double to death...when Ned Pepper's Buckskin was no longer needed by him...

Jeremiah Johnson was also good. I agree , this is a great movie.

lmao the uploader was only concerned with the horse.

I wanted to avoid spoilers!

***** To be fair, Rooster screwed up. There was a perfectly good horse standing next to the bodies ( 0:40 ) that he could have used alongside Blackie. Would have gotten to the doctor sooner, would make more logical sense, and may not even have had to run Blackie into the ground.

Volkier Neigh didnt have time to stop

I don't think Mattie was in any condition to ride a horse though.

What is game

@@shahul8222 In English when someone or something is "game", it means very willing to do something. In the book Mattie describes Blackie as "game". He didn't want to be passed by LeBouef's pony. Cogburn knew Blackie wouldn't quit trying to go as fast as he could until he died. Cogburn sacrificed the pony to save the girl.

@@sebastiangrumman8507 thank you

@@shahul8222 "Game" = possessing true grit.

@@JiveDadson thanks

And the rest of her life. After this, she really has nothing else. Rooster is dead and LaBoeuf is elsewhere, if he is still alive. She is unmarried and apparently lives in solitude.

Vengeance belongs to the Lord.

@@franklinhall9640 The Lord is one of the nastiest characters in all of fiction.

​@@JiveDadsonLmfaooo 😂

muybuena muy buena grxs hailee ¡¡

that's correct, and that was another way to show his "true grit" and character to shoot the horse and take him out of his misery

I guess that's why they called them tanto.

he carry her to a place to get help, stay until she's out of risk, but gets away before he wake up, and she loses an arm.

Qual o nome do filme ?

The girl survived but a good part of her had died.

Cogburn burnt it out til exhaustion. Once it started to get tired, he stabbed its sides to get that last bit of energy out of it. Once it finally collapsed, he put it out of its misery. Sad because it was quite a energetic and loyal horse too.

@@BlakeFerret Oh, I see. So there was little to no chance for the horse to recover from that effort. Thanks. I was curious.

@@legioner9 It would likely have been eaten alive by wolves, if he had just left it. This was more humane.

@@pauljackson2409 Thanks. I appreciate your answer

LOL

Likely the one to safely cut before the clip is long enough that it gets a copyright strike

A good horse will run itself to death for you, literally. They can go through cardiac arrest, and I assume that is what is portrayed here. He simply put Blackie down to keep from suffering too long.

He didn't want to do it. But he had to run that horse to death if he wanted to save her. At least he killed it fast

like what you mean?

Spielberg. Seems like the scene had sexual overtones. He’s a sick man.

bellmeisterful that is correct

@@kkhagerty6315 thanks. Been waitin 2 months for that answer

Of course, in the book though Blackie dies as he falls over.

@@John572d4 Dont say OF COURSE, that was a surprising thing for me to find out. I have engaged in physical activities in my life where Im telling you I thought I was gonna die. There are men who have pushed themselves further! We don't become these shells of our former selves who need to be put down. Took me a moment to wrap my head around it and Im not sure I understand it still

@@bellmeisterful Then I recommend you delete the original questioning comment

Just disgusting how this went over the sleeping fools head
