Looking at the blockbusters that the American film industry was flooding global cinemas with in past few decades, it was quite hard to identify a single title that wasn’t a remake, sequel, prequel, or at least a spin-off of something previously made, typically in much better way. Even the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, who enjoyed the status of rare true artists among American filmmakers, could not resist this trend…More
John Wayne, a towering figure in American cinema, is often synonymous with the traditional Western genre. His reactionary political views and iconic roles have come to embody the very essence of the myths and values that many young people in the late 1960s and early 1970s rebelled against. Despite this cultural shift, Wayne's films during this period, particularly *True Grit* (1969), achieved remarkable commercial s…More
Un western de alta factura # Hace un par de semanas me ocurrió otra de esas casualidades en las que escojo dos películas al azar y acaban teniendo alguna cosa en común. En esa oportunidad vi _Hell or high water_ la noche siguiente de haber visto True Grit , ambas historias con la participación de Jeff Bridges y ambas ubicadas en el Oeste americano, si bien no en la misma época. Póster oficial Ambientada en el siglo…More

"True Grit" is not the typical Coen brothers' film. Let me fix somebody if I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that for the first time in their career we do not have to use a complex definition divided by several slashes. Although they both refused to use the word Western (at the Berlin Festival Joel said that this is just a story that happens in Arkansas in 1872), we are a classical representative of the genre. The br…More
True Grit is a great western starring John Wayne, Glenn Campbell, and Kim Darby. It also features Robert Duvall as "Lucky" Ned Pepper and Jeff Corey as Tom Chaney. In addition to being a great western it is also one of, if not the best performance by John Wayne, and the only movie he won an Oscar for( and a Golden Globe). Lets talk about what went into making this film and what I love about it. True Grit…More
Taking a Western classic and trying to breathe new life into it is a challenge even when you cast seasoned veterans like Jeff Bridges (Rooster Cogburn), Matt Damon (Ranger LaBoeuf) and Josh Brolin (Tom Chaney). In *True Grit*, It was actually a relative newcomer, Hailee Steinfeld (Mattie Ross) who caught my attention. Without her performance, this film would have failed. Mattie Ross is a tough-as-nails fourteen-year…More
