Do not look for the famous photo of the still image of John Wayne, waving his Stetson hat, horse breeding on both legs ending the 1969 version of “True Grit.” That said, the remake of Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1969 classic fabric western “True Grit” is not repeated. It is much more than the two films share in common – the first is the basic plot. Fiercely determined 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), articulate and mature, plans to capture the murderer of his father, Tom Cheney (Josh Brolin) and bring him to justice. Perhaps, however, Mattie may have some serious revenge on his mind tenacious.
Despite the way it is capable, Mattie knows he will need help, and hiring U.S. Marshal “Rooster” Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to help find Cheney. On the way, Texas Ranger La Boeuf (Matt Damon) joins them, as is followed by “Lucky” Ned Pepper (Barry Pepper), whose band he joined Cheney.
There is a roughness to the new version – literally and figuratively. John Wayne immaculate beige suede jacket is strongly disputed by dirt bridge much more realistic. This operation is repeated, not only in the costumes of the characters, but its composition, and more, their teeth. The audience can almost feel the characters in the 2010 version.
It is, as you may have heard, much darker than its predecessor of 1969. It is also more graphic. In a remarkable scene Mattie encounters snakes, for example, in version 1969 that threat, which seemed to be waiting in the open for her. When Mattie Steinfeld found, which is enclosed in a decomposing body.
There is much to admire in this remake inspired. The performances are excellent (and comparison of work bridges the performance of an Oscar by Wayne). Much was expected then 22 years, Kim Darby (and never made another film in the note), but I hope not Steinfeld is the case – it would be tragic if it is not retained in the profession. An additional dose of reality is the image of Damon The Beef, the role originally played by Glen Campbell. At that time, Campbell was already a superstar and winner of the Grammy Awards in the categories of country and pop and appeared in two films, but the story would be “True Grit” is the best known (and best) film to date. Campbell’s personality “boy’s performance, giving the beef a dose of silliness that seemed a little movie. Beef Damon is not without humor, but there is a credible resistance.
As with the genre, the music is absolutely one of the co-star of the film. When the legendary Elmer Bernstein has put a lot of optimism around “joke” accentuate the music, Carter Burwell chooses an opulent score suitable for the period of time, and, of course, for the film. The gospel of the deep layer of music, including songs of Iris Dement.
Ultimately, for all the similarities with the original, the Coen brothers have made a very sincere film that resonates long after the credits roll.
