True Grit signs fourth feature of the Cohen brothers for many years, marking perhaps the most fruitful period in his career to date. Although many will try to make immediate comparisons with their Oscar winner No Country for Old Men, their latest release a very different film tonally - and attract an entirely different level.
Beginner Hailee Stanfield makes quite an impression as the young Mattie Ross. She reminds stern, strict teacher with a sharp tongue, but in the frame of the child.
Determined to see the ban Tom Cheney (Josh Brolin), executed for the murder of her father, Mattie finds little support from official channels. Instead, the young girl hires Marshall Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to hunt outlaws into the Indian territory. Also on the trail of Cheney is a proud but disappointed Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf (Matt Damon), which connects the pair to capture his goal, which led to conflict within the group.
During the first few minutes, it's a bit difficult to adjust to the cadence of the verbal symbols, but these difficulties will soon pass, as expected, the performances are exceptional. Bridges stands out as a mostly drunken, slurred, and surly Cogburn, who sounds as if he were gargling whiskey and razor wire for most of his life. Surprisingly, it Stanfield who manages to create an equally strong and memorable character. She stands face to face with her fellow star, convincingly deliver significantly more accurate dialogue and a more rapid pace than is required by any other singer in the film.
Like most Coen brothers films, quirky humor finds its way in here and there. Mattie refusal to suffer fools, even among adults leads to some amusing tongue-belts. In some cases, it leaves it rough, shady acquaintances at a loss and not sure how to react. Her unwavering demands to get exactly what she wants at all costs lead to a couple of very funny reaction shots Cogburn, who was equally blunt and simple comments perfectly compliment the honesty of Mattie. It quickly becomes easy to see how these two difficult people and unlikely partners may form a bond.
Prices often operator Roger Deakins helps to recreate the Old West with beautiful pictures in a few very disturbing sequence. True Grit There pursuing images of dead people, hanging from a tree, a surreal meeting with the dentist to wear a full skin a bear, and suspenseful shootout in the dead of night.
For the most part, the film follows the classic Western conventions. Nevertheless, the final act of the film seems to be intentionally distorted and instilled with a dose of realism. Many expect Cheney will be fierce and terrible killer, but the expectations purposefully undermined. As a result, justice meant that ships are not particularly pleasant, and ultimately arrives at great personal cost. Characters do not ride off into the sunset before the swelling fanfare, which leads to more thoughtful, though dramatic, conclusion.
True Grit is not immediately qualify as a personal favorite of the Coen brothers in the directory, but it is well prepared and interesting movie, at least two knockout performances guaranteed to please the audience. This is a tale that will continue to linger in the minds of many viewers.
