Following the murder of her father by hired hand Tom Chaney, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest U.S. marshal she can find, a man with "true grit," Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn. Mattie insists on accompanying Cogburn, whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Chaney. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her "grit" tested. ( www.imdb.com)
The dude is back. At least from the constellation it fits her - most recently worked the Coen brothers in the great "The Big Lebowski" with Jeff Bridges. This time, Jeff Bridges may as drunken ("Crazy Heart" is back but only a year?), Vigorous, ran fast times at border Marshall Rooster Cogburn Revolver - but it is not he, this time with the entire movie (and also in original film - the Coen "True Grit" is a remake of a John Wayne Westerns in 1969 - the film rested on the shoulders of his character), but the only 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld in the role of peers, vengeful Mattie Ross, which seeks revenge for her murdered father .
you that is running all their adult fellow actors the rank by their almost hypnotic game from - her character is anything like as on the mouth, confident, adventurous, by a sense of justice (in the context of a Western, of course) inspired and their language and their behavior, with a few emotionally charged scenes that flash through the little girl in her almost grown up.
Even her haggling at the beginning of the movie takes your breath away and this is one of the best examples of the up to the last line of shrewd and successful dialogues, and in the rest of the film she is just terrific in her role as cold-blooded, yet in core young Mattie Ross.
The other two main characters - the Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, embodies excellent by a prominent Matt Damon, and as already mentioned, Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn (the accent!) - Round out the trio that blends in perfectly on an acting level with each other. I would like to once again Jeff Bridges, who already in "Crazy Heart" with more than his outstanding acting performances well-deserved Oscar got hold has to point out - he seems perfect for the role of the medullary not a sentence (and there zitierwürdige line it in this movie a lot!) and no ball too much embarrassed Marshall, who like to take collateral damage into account (which in his first appearance in a deliciously staged trial, "Mr. Cogburn, in your four years as U.S. Marshal, how many men have you shot?" - "Shot Or Killed?" - "Let us restrict it to so we may have killed a manageable figure "- impressive, and sets out very amusing) that could also LaBouef at a first shootout with the villain and his henchmen (the limits here, which is especially positive, is often blurred - the gangsters nunmal do their job, and the Marshalls and Sherriffs draw on the same dirty methods to get rid of her - even to Mattie Ross vehemently represents the "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" principle , albeit with nuances) summarily shoots in the shoulder. The antagonists (especially Barry Pepper as Lucky Ned Pepper and Josh Brolin as Tom Chaney) and convince exude amusing squabbles despite a disturbing aura.
The film is anything but squeamish - at least we are dealing here with a true-Western, and there will not be saved with shootouts and rough handling methods. Nevertheless, the violence keeps under the setting and is not exaggerated as in "Fargo" or "Burn After Reading." In marked by black humor dialogue sparkles, but clearly the hallmark of the Coen brothers - the characters are also used to bizarre, to the totally wacky view of two doctors (the doctors in this film all seem to jump into the bowl to have ) but still relatively down to earth.
In a Western, of course, may also miss the landscapes of the vast prairies of the Wild West in any case - and here they are just breathtakingly beautiful in quiet, warm images shown, so that now almost entirely disappeared from the cinema western romance (for lack of existing films of this genre) reappears and electrify the audience.
total, not just the acting, but also the staging performances at the highest level, my humble self is indeed something vorbehaftet with subjective devotion to the film because I am an absolute fan of the Coen brothers, but I can always because of the grand averages , dialogues, the suitable, decent soundtrack that grippingly staged action sequences (some classic Western attitudes have made it in the film) and jubelieren the atmosphere - as the heart of the Cinephile jumps up to his neck in front of bliss.
The rhythm of the film is also so so well laid out (with matching, rousing climax that gets a turn at waiting) that go by just under 2 hours just flew by.
have also made it the Coen brothers to extract from the rather simple knitted history to present the best and also the sometimes surprising turns appealing. The latter ensure that a vote on the issue of revenge and vigilante justice even thoughtful - especially the fact that Mattie Ross lost her arm because of the mission, shortly after she shot her father's murderer. This leaves the question in a bud, if the whole campaign of revenge, was attended by Mattie, his suffering was worth it and therefore questioned in a sense, the core elements of the typical Western to - the film simultaneously honors the genre, but its sleek design and proximity to the setting (note only once on the equipment!).
is the end, to say, then, that the Coen Brothers again demonstrated their skills as excellent directors to the test and an almost perfectly produced, have for them rather unusual film, which still bears their signature by the grand dialogue, delivered with outstanding Schauspielerlleistungen, the breath of the Wild West breathes in every single frame.
Whether the 10 Oscars it is nominated for the "True Grit", deserves is hard to weigh, as I the other Contestants not all have seen - but so far he has in my opinion certainly deserves some. And that as many nominations has not even reached the Dude, wants to mean something.
