As one reviewer put it, "John Wayne played John Wayne. Jeff Bridges played Rooster Cogburn."
Marshall Cogburn is, in the parlance of our times, a scoundrel. I do not believe John Wayne was ever a good choice to play a man of his caliber. Bridges, though, fucking kills it. Cogburn's look when Mattie pushes him too far, where he makes her basically shit her pants in fear and it passes in like one second without comment, that's movie gold.
Hailee Steinfeld being nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role is the biggest mystery I know about this film. She is quite clearly the main character.
Probably because she was young and this was her first main role, they seem to do that a lot with young actors
That and Anthony Hopkins winning for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Silence of the Lambs.
@@snowdenwyatt6276 I think that Anthony Hopkins was more of an honorarium, he was only in that movie for a heartbeat! lol
@@snowdenwyatt6276 Anthony Hopkins was a lead on that film, even though his tenure was short. Hailey is clearly a lead on this as well, but they spun out differently to give her a better chance. I suppose anyway.
@x I second what X says. The studios submit actors for the categories they want.
I don't know if Hailee Steinfeld has an acting "signature" or trademark, but seeing this and Hawkeye so close together makes me realize that she is really great at playing bone deep earnestness when she wants to pull at your heartstrings or make you fall over laughing.
"She's a huge 14 year old!" Hailee Steinfeld was 13 at the time.
BTW, when they filmed the scenes of Rooster going across the field shooting g both guns, John Wayne was on the back of truck. Jeff Bridges was really on horseback.
She meant tall i think ;-)
PS I've got a 14yo daugther and she's 172cm (Around 5'8 for the non-metrics)
@@dallesamllhals9161 I know what she meant. Just pointing out Hailee wasn't even 14 yet like the character. And Hailee is just 5'8 now at 25. She probably wasn't too far off average 5'2 at the time.
@@frozenharold Oooooh! You want 1880s average ♀ height in films. My bad!
@@dallesamllhals9161yea I don't use commie measures thank you
When Remake May is over, I would highly recommend you watch Raising Arizona, the first Coen brothers movie I ever saw, one of the funniest, made me a lifelong fan.
You're in luck. One of our special requests for June is Raising Arizona, watching it in a few short weeks.
@@YouMeTheMovies Maybe you can add The Hudsucker Proxy to the list ;-)
@@YouMeTheMovies you guys should watch a ton of Nicolas Cage movies and you guys will be surprised, even if the movies are bad, you will always remember Nicolas Cage's characters😎
I watched this again just recently. Hailee Steinfeld, in her first movie, goes toe to toe with actors like Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin and never falters. Her actual age is 14. She makes all this old timey language sound completely natural as she talks at such a quick pace. It's simply one of the most amazing performances for not just a first time actor but for any actor, ever. The movie lives or dies on her performance but you wouldn't know it as it seems relaxed and natural at all times. Absolutely brilliant.
Don't forget her scene with Barry Pepper(lucky Ned), that's another actor that deserves a lot of credit
She was barely 13 when she filmed this
When the film matches the reactors almost perfectly.. :)
After watching the movie, I'd say the girl had true grit.
2:58 ....
-Mrs: "You don't have to talk"
-Mr: "You don't have to listen"
-Mrs: "I don't, most of the time"
....That's the secret of any good marriage...XDXD
No, that's just resentment. He sounds like he makes confident comments about things that he probably has no idea about, but says it anyway. Which is annoying, & she's probably sick of it.
But her resentment is so loud it makes her seem awful, & the worse person.
These two need to split to be happy.
Have y’all seen the award-winning mini-series “Lonesome Dove”? It’s maybe the best western ever made and would make a great reaction. Robert Duvall is great in it.
Robert Duvall is also lucky ned pepper in the original True Grit.
Personally, I do like this adaptation of True Grit as Jeff Bridges was witty and gritty, but I am still partial to John Wayne's version, just because... John Wayne.
Both LaBoeuf and Cogburn were on the Southern side in the War. LaBoeuf was part of the regular Confederate Army. He calls Rooster a 'marauder' because he was part of Quantrill's Raiders, who were Confederate irregulars (guerrillas) out in Missouri.
Don't hate me but was never a huge fan of John Wayne. So this is a huge hit with me and it's truer to the book than Wayne's film. Also, the actress that plays Mattie did a fantastic job.
That's because you have no taste.
@@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDEN It's called an opinions bud. I love loads of classic westerns, but Wayne never did it for me.
@@StinkyGreenBud slow up on the Mary Jane and maybe you'll get some taste buds back
Fun fact the guy who plays the sheriff in this movie played the sheriff in The Big Lebowski
The original, with Wayne, is my favorite. That being John Wayne's only Oscar for best actor. There are many differences between the two film's. LaBeouf's character still saves the two from the pit, but falls dead off the horse afterwards. When Wayne confronts the gang, he charges at them twirling a Winchester in his right hand and Colt in his left. You should check out Robert Duvall (Lucky Ned Pepper in original), in the movie "Open Range" co-starring Kevin Costner, from 2003. I think he wears the same cowboy hat he wore in the 1969 version in Open Range. The movie boasts the longest gunfight in a film. I was 10 when my Grandpa took me to the original True Grit. He took me to all the great western's from the mid 60's till his death in 1978. Keep the western's coming!!
I also recommend Open Range. Great gunfight scene and Herb kohler as the cafe owner.
Wayne was also nominated for The Quiet Man. That and The Searchers are his greatest performances IMHO.
I'm guessing she didn't review the version of this after hubby was finished with the editing. that snore was perfection!!!
Honestly, the best way to appreciate the Coen Brothers is to see their films more than once. They put so much detail into their work, that repeated viewings make their movies even better.
See, Hailee Steinfeld was an Avenger long before she was Kate Bishop in Hawkeye.
Also, I had the pleasure of working with her on a movie and she was really nice. Good, down to earth, respectful person.
If you ever want to show a movie with a positive female role model to an adolescent girl, this is the one!
She does act out a revenge which costs her her arm and a horse.
totally
not really
Especially a western!
In what ways is a young girl acting masculine, and ending up unmarried & childless "positive"?
This version is much closer to the book than the original. Very good job by all, from the Coen brothers and down.
3:10 to Yuma was another good western remake...from what I remember. But, if you want a purely cartoony/serious western, please consider, "The Quick & The Dead", starring Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe & Lance Henrikson. Great Reactions, BTW!
I’m meh on Three-Ten, and double meh on The Quick & The Dead (although I appreciate the obscure pun in the name). Both are way too cartoony and/or stylish for my tastes. It’s very rare that a film can successfully substitute style for substance. But I won’t argue their objective merit or lack, if you liked either one. They’re just not my cup of tea.
"keep your seat trash!" She was pointing out his lack of manners as he failed to stand for a lady.
That was Cole Younger speaking to her, so "Mr. James" was probably Frank James, leader of the James/Younger Gang. She probably didn't think to highly of them, but at least Younger was polite.
@@Wombatzu Also, Younger had served his prison time (he was captured during the Northfield Raid/Bank Robbery), Neither of the James brothers every did time. Remember she has some stern ideas of justice.
Frank James was not well-regarded, and likely got away with murdering the bank clerk in Northfield. Cole Younger remained best buddies with Frank until death, for some reason, but had a far better reputation later in life.
I have always loved True Grit w/John Wayne and was cautious when the remake came out(as I am with any remake) but this one was actually pretty good!
If you like westerns you should watch lonesome dove
"You don't have to talk." "You don't have to listen." 😂
"if you wanna sleep in a coffin, that would be okay.."
I never watched True Grit but didn’t think I ever cared to so I started watching your video. I ended up turning it off bc I don’t want any spoilers… this movie looks really good.
Mattie was my favorite character the 2010 version (I can absolutely imagine her as an adolescent version of Mrs. Movies), and Rooster was my favorite in the 1969 version. Hard to chose a preference between the two versions because the 1969 is more fun to me, but I'm much more impressed by the 2010 version.
To this day, the bear guy makes me go WTF.
Me too...about the bear guy...
Not close to me, the original is much better save for the Cinematic aspect. I don't like actors trying to out in the same type performance of the original. I love Jeff, but e should have just skipped the gruffer than thou effort. I liked the movie however overall, that kind of put me off on it as a whole.
its easy for me to choose the John Wayne film all the way. For hailee I will just watch bumble bee.
For some reason I always thought the bear guy was grizzly Adams
The 2010 version was fun as well
You should watch The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. A very different Coen Brothers western.
Millers crossing is an underrated coen brothers movie maybe my second fave after no country for old men it's an audacious gangster movie
Well my favorite character is Rooster - I love what Jeff Bridges does with him.
And really, I can't believe it's even a question which version is best because ... Coen Brothers. Not a contest.
i got to believe people are just defending loyalty to childhood memories/nostalgia
This is an excellent remake, very close to the book! I love John Wayne and his version of True Grit but the Coen Brothers version is the better version.
Thus, it's not a remake, but another film based on the same book.
Yup. This is the better film. Plus, I can never get past John Wayne's hammy acting.
After seeing this for the first time I read the book and was shocked just how faithful this version is to the source material.
At great risk of having my born Texan credentials revoked, I hafta say I like this True Grit better than the 1969 John Wayne version.
You're still Texan, mate. That's just an objective truth
The argument over the Civil War service is not a North/South disagreement. Lebeof and Rooster both fought for the South but Lebeof served with a normal army unit while Rooster rode with the irregular bands of Missouri guerrillas led by Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson that fought in brutal raiding style warfare. The most notorious atrocity by these bushwackers was the burning and looting of Lawrence Kansas where over one hundred civilians (men and boys) were killed. This is why Matt Damon disparages rooster's war record. Both sides engaged in dirty fighting along the Kansas/Missouri borderlands during the war.
Absolutely brilliant film, brilliant performances. So good
I always woke my dog up just in case she was having a nightmare
This version was f&*king awesome!!!
I wouldn't call it a remake,
But I would say that I prefer this version of the film.
Personally I liked this version better because it was more closer to the book.
This was a well casted film.
I can't think of a single actor I would have had, substituted.
I *did* like the original but this version felt more *authentic.*
*well cast.
@@jamesanderson6373 I knew I misspelled that.
Darn spell checker failed me again!
When I seen this, Hailee Steinfeld blew my mind. I could tell she is going to be a big star at the time!
2:55 "You don't HAVE to talk." Gotta say I love the sass on Mrs. Movies.
I love this remake more than the original. Hailee Steinfeld was phenomenal in the film and Oscar nominated for Best Actress for Supporting Role (even though she was the lead). I'm not the biggest Western fan but this is definitely my top films favorites of the Western genre. Great reaction.
Great reaction. I love this movie. The cinematography was incredible and Hailee Steinfeld was amazing.
If you want yo watch a great movie with Jeff Bridges watch Crazy Heart. he won an academy award gor that movie.
The wicked run when no one pursue with… As a Bible believing Christian that is why I do not jog
Due respect to Wayne fans. This is the greater version, and I was skeptical before I saw it.
Yeah no shade on Wayne but I'd say this ones better
I find this a very lateral remake. It's not better or worse. It does things different.
Good, someone figured it out. Two really excellent versions of the same story. When I saw this one, it didn't make me love the Henry Hathaway version any less. It's all just great cinema guys, not an frigging competition.
This version is very faithful to the book.
Not a remake. It is a new adaptation of the novel.
Its absolutely a remake of the john wayne original
@@Chriswallace0405- No it isn’t. It’s a different adaptation of the same source material. Saying it’s a “remake” is like saying Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” is a remake of the animated Ralph Bakshi version.
Great choice for a Western. And a great reaction too. the best I've seen for this movie. As to the movie, it is much better than the original, in my opinion. It is much truer, for instance, to the novel. The original used the mountains of Colorado as its backdrop, whereas this remake filmed it in the Oklahoma backlands where it was supposed to be.
The novel is also steeped in Judeo-Christian imagery. And that to me is the reason I love this remake so much because the original stripped all that imagery away for some odd reason. But the whole point of Mattie falling into the snake pit (after shooting an unarmed Tom Chaney) and losing her arm (symbolic of her losing her capacity for mercy given that the truly God centered individual is equal parts justice and mercy) is completely lost without that imagery. The same goes for many other scenes. But the Coens who are masters at faithfully portraying authentic Bible-belt Christianity knew better than to leave that out.
And to finish I know this will sound like blasphemy to some (and with all due respect to John Wayne too who had an awesome screen presence in all of his movies) but Jeff Bridges is more than just a screen presence, he is also a pretty good actor and was therefore much better, I think, in the role of Rooster Cogburn.
Good filmmakers use the symbolism and mythology that the audience can understand, to convey a message. It doesn't mean the mythology is true, or that the viewer has to buy into it to enjoy the film.
You watched the remake. For penance, you must watch Rio Bravo or The Searchers :)
Billy Bob Thornton's awesome in the 1st Series of Fargo, if u haven't seen it.
Great movie but I still slightly prefer John Wayne, perhaps I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Because we had some lively times...
I have to agree with Mr about girls growth spurts. I think as boys we notice it more than the girls as suddenly in the beginning of 7th grade all the girls went from being shorter to being like half a foot or more taller than all of us haha.
They say this version is more true to the original book, but I prefer the 1969 version.
That said, Matt Damon did a better job than Glen Campbell (great guitar player, mediocre actor), and Hailee Steinfeld was and shoulders better than Kim Darby. At the end of the day I have go with the Duke over the Dude.
The '69 version had some actors that later became stars of their own right.
10x better than watching John Wayne “acting” in original…..thanks for posting
Thank you for the "EXPERT" remark on acting
@@christopherbaldwin2005 well, you certainly told me.
@@christopherbaldwin2005 well he is a shitty actor
Took a break from lifting weights all day to watch yall's reaction keep up the good work
Sounds like Howdy was being chased by Freddy Krueger. Poor doggo. What breed is he?
I like this version much better than the John Wayne version, its much darker and follows the book a lot better.
BUT the original did have Robert Duvall as Ned Pepper.
"You are not La Beef"
Both this and the original are great movies.
That was a South vs South Civil War disagreement.
Freaking love the remake, I love the original too!!
Liked this one but am still a fan of the original. In it, the guy in the cabin who had his fingers chopped off and was then stabbed was Dennis Hopper, while Robert Duvall was Ned Pepper so it also had some "names" in it. In this one Ned was played by Barry Pepper, who was the sniper in "Saving Private Ryan." Man, the make-up folks did a number on him in this movie! Also in the original they didn't finish it with her grown up and looking for Rooster; he jumped his horse over the graveyard fence and rode off. I do like the follow-up/finality of this re-make better.
Love this movie, makes me feel fine growing up alone, and not having much people in my life,
Seeing it again, reminds me that sucking out snake venom actually doesn't work. If anything it just gets you sick also.
A great movie that covers Quantrill and the Civil War -- and the role the James's and Youngers played -- in Missouri is Ride With The Devil. It stars Toby McGuire, Jewel and is directed.by Ang Lee. You should react to it.
Agreed. Great movie.
Agreed Excellent Movie 👌
best John Wayne movie? has to be "the man who shot liberty valence" Defined his career and , I think , as a man.
It's JOSH Brolin. James is his father.
22:58 Josh Brolin. James Brolin is his dad who coincidentally starred in the movie Westworld which is the movie that the TV series Westworld is based on. The more you know.
Don't think this was a remake. Think the Coen Brothers went to the original novel not the JW movie.
This version is more faithful to the book, especially in the cadence of the language used.
Sounded like he was having a nightmare
Best line in both versions is when Rooster asks La Boeuf "How long you boys down there been mounted on sheep?"
“Civil war beef. North versus south.”
South versus south. The ranger was a confederate regular. Cogburn was a marauder irregular. Like a land pirate. The regulars despised the irregulars.
I prefer this to the original , great cast ..
I love a good Western esp Godless tv show and Buster Scruggs Movie lol
The whole Capt. Quintrell thing is basically about the Border war that carried over into the Civil War between KS and MO. Bushwackers, murders etc is what each side called each other. Rooster was on the southern side and was in the raid on Lawarence KS. Look it up sad part of American history. The TX marshal was basically I fought in the "regular" confederate army, not murderers. Fun fact. Jesse James rode with "CPT Quintrell" as well. It is a fascinating period of history. War crimes on all sides, but one side lost. Look up the movie "Josey Whales" an old clint Eastwood movie.
I prefer the original.
Even though the Cohen Bros. said they wanted to make a closer adaptation of the book and not a remake or the original, I think they made a remake considering 90% of what was in this movie, including much of the dialogue, was in the original.
Actually, Wayne's character uses chewing tobacco to cover the snake bite is in the book instead of Bridge's sucking the poison out.
One of my favorite movies. Both, are fantastic!
Jeff Bridges needed to get the rocks out of his mouth. I hated his speech in this movie.
The curious thing is that the Corns said they wanted to make an actual adaptation of the novel word for word, which they did, rather than just remake the original film, which suggests the original film was not a word for word adaptation of the novel, but it was with one very small exception. Even though you two haven't seen the original in 20 years it'd be great for you to do a reaction to it. I prefer the original although this one is very well-done. Having lived on a horse farm most of my life the scene that pains me the most is the death of Blackie. I can barely handle it. And being a dealer in antique firearms, we have some beautiful Sharps carbines for which Mr. LeBoeuf is quite right about hence the name sharpshooter. Have you seen my favorite Coens movie BARTON FINK yet?
Or Miller's Crossing!!
Barton Fink is so criminally underrated.
The death of Blackie nearly ruined the movie for me...both times. Yes, I'm a horse person. Some movies are almost unwatchable if you are. I had to cover my eyes in Warhorse. Hubby stood up and left the theater during a scene in The Horse Whisperer.
I think it's Hailee's character with the True Grit!
I loved the original, but this one was better for me.
very good classic western remake.
I'm surprised she doesn't know about girls growing early. It's one of the things that makes entering high school funny: the freshman girls are often taller than the boys.
The first bargaining scene with the horse trader was Hailie's audition scene.
I was also a fan of the original and thought that the remake would not be worth my time, until I heard it was being made by the Coens. If they make a movie, I will give it a shot. Anyway, I thought it was great.
would love to see you watching a few old spaghetti westerns with Franco Nero, they are very good
Your videos are always entertaining and the selections are great. I never watched the old westerns (well aside from the Clint Eastwood movies)
I watched this in the theatre when it was released- I thought the title was going to refer to the Rooster character, but my opinion is that it’s Mattie that could be described having ‘true grit’. Anyways keep up the great videos
It seems many people react to Cohen Brothers movies, but don't watch Raising Arizona which is at the top of their movies for me. I do really like most of their movies with some exceptions, and there are some major genre shifts between them, so might be like comparing apples and oranges, but yeah ... Raising Arizona is pretty good ...
Loved Raising Arizona. Haven't seen it in ages!
Would love to see your reaction to the John Wayne version as well - and if you wanted to read the Charles Portis novel, too, I'd be up to hear your thoughts on that. Each is time well spent. : )
Hey guys, liked your TRUE GRIT reaction. You guys were discussing tall girls growth spurts because of Hailee Steinfeld.🙂 She is currently 5'8" tall. @ 13yrs she might have been around 5'5" or 5'6", just guessing by how I grew. I grew until I was 17yrs old. @ her age in the movie, I was 5'8" or so. When I stopped growing, I was between 5'10.5" to 5'11" depending on who measured me.😄 Unfortunately, with age comes shrinkage. I now stand @ 5'10". Ok, enough about height. My favorite character is Rooster Cogburn because even w/all his gruffness he had a good heart.
That WAS good -
Jeff Bridges is a presence for sure.
I grew up watching his dad, Lloyd Bridges in an old black and white TV show called SEA HUNT.
I think Jeff first came to my attention in a film called CUTTER'S WAY with John Heard, father of the infamous other Heard.
Check out CUTTER'S WAY if you get the chance.
Good movie, this - good reaction.
I preferred this to the John Wayne version.
Hailee Steinfeld steals every scene in this film.
"unless you wanna go off-roadi...off-trackkin!"
"you don't HAVE to talk"
lol
You don't have to talk. 😀😁😂🤣
This version is great but the original is still very much fun to watch!
Hell...or...High...Water! In June
I grew up with John Wayne movies, my dad having loved them. I probably saw his True Grit multiple times. I never liked the girl in that one and found her annoying.
When I later saw this one, I thought it was much better. Though Wayne is a powerhouse, this one’s cast is overall much better. Steinfeld is the main reason the film works, and the rest of the actors do a tremendous job, as well. I also preferred the writing, humor, and cinematography on this new one. Finally, the music’s use of hymns was the icing on the cake; so good!
Still prefer the original True Grit
the snore edit was awesome! thanks.
