Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
elainehowie I have seen quite a few western films and most of them are pretty mediocre. However, this film was great and made you forget the mainly awful western films that came before it. Even if western films are not your thing, you are most likely going to enjoy it. The plot is pretty simple: a 14 year old girl is out for revenge after a man murdered her father. The actress of the main protagonist is very good. Definitely recommend this film if you haven't seen it already.
merelyaninnuendo True GritCarrying out one's typical textbook western theme and offers it a familiar tale to feed on the audience for almost around 110 minutes, is no ordinary job. Fortunately, the responsible team in here, is trustworthy and doesn't fail to deliver too. The Coen Brothers; as usual is no short on execution and this time has got appropriate editing on their side. The real game changer of the feature is their smart adaptation of Charles Portis' novel that is not only gripping but sensibly thought-provoking. The background score and the costume design is apt for the tone of the feature. The performance is strong and something that factors a lot in its favour, reason being a great star cast on its side. And addition to that, the performance given by them is appreciative too, especially by the protagonist Jeff Bridges who is supported well enough by Hailee Steinfield, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin (no matter how much runtime he gets in here). The writing is more practical than usual western feature does, as there is too much practicality involved in it that sends out this eerie vulnerable feeling in the audience for the characters. True Grit breeds essential sentiments in its self-created grittiness, but still somehow fails to draw out the anticipated emotion from the screen and the reason would be its perspective.
parshcod Artistic Value- This movie was pleasing to the eye. The audio was balanced as to not to be too loud in certain parts and too soft in others. The dialogue was easy to understand so that the movie was easy to follow. I was kept in the moment wanting to know what was going to happen with the girl. Entertainment value- The story line kept me on my seat and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I thoroughly enjoyed the gunfights in this movie. Educational value- I learned that the way they lived back then would not be useful in this day and age.Literature Value- The conflict was that the girls dad died, and she went to town marshal to find someone to hunt down her dad's killer.Overall I would watch this movie again and hope to see it soon on Netflix.
larz928 Terrible. People didn't speak like that in the late 19th Century. I have early recordings from around the turn of the century, and except for an Eastern accent, people actually spoke in contractions just like we do today! They wouldn't be that hard to understand. Some dialog coach decided that every word should be spoken without contractions in a robotic manner. I tried to keep it out of my mind, but the delivery of almost every actor was so stilted that I couldn't continue after 20 minutes of "See Dick run. Run, run, run. See Jane. See Jane run. See Spot run, run run run." It ruined the movie for me. I don't care what happened in it. I deleted it from my queue.
