true grit movie Online - Coen brothers are known for their world view miserable nihilism - if it does not work too great - and so it's a little 'surprising that the "True Grit", their latest film is relatively simple. This is a good, solid western, and anyone else that could be enough. Coen come, leave a little veil 'disappointment in the air.
What is missing is the character that makes Coen films, both big ("No Country for Old Men") and not so great ("The Big Jump"), identified as their own. They pressed their scabrous humor, and they also downplayed the comic possibilities in the wonderful novel by Charles Portis, 1968, on which the film is based.The original film adaptation of "True Grit", which appeared in 1969, starring John Wayne in the role of Oscar stunned, one-eyed Rooster Cogburn Deputy Marshal. version of Jeff Bridges, who has three times as an actor The Coens' Wayne played Rooster. Unlike Wayne, has had the opportunity to perform and the scenery-chewing star turn, even taking into account the overall movie with a quiet voice, more could have been munching fun.

However, it seems a bit rude to complain that the Coen brothers are not many of the same things that are distinctive, often criticized in the past. His art and intelligence are still strong, but only changed its approval.
Rooster is hired early imperiously than 14 years Mattie Ross (wonderful newcomer Hailee Steinfeld) to trace his father's killer in Indian country in 1870. They are complementary to Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf (Matt Damon), who is as straight as an arrow the Rooster has a screw loose.
Like many directors before them, the Coens established in the Western tradition of classical cinema. With the invaluable assistance of their photographer, Roger Deakins, they make the landscape so exposed its people as actors in a great folk activities. The people that also includes Josh Brolin as the murderer and Barry Pepper as a leader Lucky Ned scurvy time, everyone seems to come straight out of a hoax, but dampening Coen keeps them all within limits.
Bridges has worked with Coen on "The Big Lebowski," which reached iconic status as the ultimate slacker movie. In "True Grit" The bridges are much closer to his dissolute country singer Blake Bath of "Crazy Heart" that Lebowski. He is a mercenary and a drinker and he would not even be in the character of its signature black eyepatch to be an illusion.
Bridges, but lets us know that in the background, the Gallo wants so does Hallie - justice. And his slobbola way, also is stubborn like her. That's what we realize it the first time he met with him (as it is, rightly, in the outhouse). Without trying to jerk tears from us, the Coen brothers made it clear that these two are soul mates.
Matt Damon is a bit bland, but at least unlike Glen Campbell in the 1969 version, it is not necessary to sing for us. Steinfeld, however, is in many ways a perfect fit for the Coens. Delivery there is no tension, no frills, with its cadences contractionless, biblical, are decidedly sentimental. Mattie is a very motivated person, but - and this is the key Steinfeld gifts as an actress - it's never boring. Its intensity is modulated.
Great Western are almost by definition, the quantity of spirit, fullness inevitably turns every day into the mythical. "True Grit" does not satisfy everyone, perhaps because the amount of spirit requires emotional generosity more than the Coens probably be able to. But only under normal conditions, the film succeeds - perhaps not as "Coen Brothers film, but long story well told Grade:. A-(. Rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of violence including disturbing images Western)
