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.
"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
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
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.
I like this version a lot more than the original.
The acting is outstanding, and it has a lot of heart.
Thats fair, but in the original John Wayne jumps a 4-rail fence and rides off into the sunset. Thats the ending I wanted.
John Wayne can’t help but play John Wayne. I won’t say he gives two-dimensional performances, but he never disappears into the role. I’m always 100% aware that I’m watching John Wayne. I like the original very much, but I agree this is superior in every way. Not always by much, I’ll admit. I also think the original is Wayne’s best movie.
Plus it’s a Coen Bros. movie, and contains their unmistakable touches. I think if you’re a Coen Bros. fan, you can’t help but like this movie more (I had to look up the director for the original, Henry Hathaway. He was a prolific studio director at a time when very few directors had star status.)
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.
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.
Fun fact the guy who plays the sheriff in this movie played the sheriff in The Big Lebowski
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.
"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.
When the film matches the reactors almost perfectly.. :)
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.
"You don't have to talk." "You don't have to listen." 😂
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😎
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.
This version is much closer to the book than the original. Very good job by all, from the Coen brothers and down.
"if you wanna sleep in a coffin, that would be okay.."
Best line in both versions is when Rooster asks La Boeuf "How long you boys down there been mounted on sheep?"
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.
I'm guessing she didn't review the version of this after hubby was finished with the editing. that snore was perfection!!!
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.
After seeing this for the first time I read the book and was shocked just how faithful this version is to the source material.
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.
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.
"You don't have to talk..."
My soul just left my body! 😂🤣😂🤣
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
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"?
Good lord, this movie is so raw and comedic. The jakes are always occupied when I wanna be left undisturbed to watch this.
I always woke my dog up just in case she was having a nightmare
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.
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
“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.
Millers crossing is an underrated coen brothers movie maybe my second fave after no country for old men it's an audacious gangster movie
This version was f&*king awesome!!!
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.
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!
Absolutely brilliant film, brilliant performances. So good
Took a break from lifting weights all day to watch yall's reaction keep up the good work
You should watch The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. A very different Coen Brothers western.
You know it's a Coen when even the supporting characters, with only one brief appearance, are well casted, unique, and memorable.
And maybe two blankets will do the trick :D
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.
John Wayne did not play the character as seriously as Bridges did. . Jeff Bridges should have received an Oscar for this for sure. This was one of the best westerns I have seen. . I like the scene when Madi negotiates with the buyer, very well done by both Ms Steinfeld and the gentleman. The writing for that scene
was perfect.
When I seen this, Hailee Steinfeld blew my mind. I could tell she is going to be a big star at the time!
"You don't have to talk" brilliant!
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
"unless you wanna go off-roadi...off-trackkin!"
"you don't HAVE to talk"
lol
The first bargaining scene with the horse trader was Hailie's audition scene.
One of my favorite movies ever. Im Canadian & regularly take my horse out for trail rides. Something about this movie always stuck.
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.
Both this and the original are great movies.
I also like the bookend shots of Mattie looking out the window of the train at the beginning and end.
I can't believe you added those snores at 5:39. Hilarious.
Many have said both films are great.
The Coens just understand dialogue, they work magic with their screen stories and screenplays.
Bridges loves working with them because of it, and he gives them his best as an actor. That's why this TRUE GRIT works SO well.
This was my intro to Hailee Stienfeld and been a fan ever since! Loved this movie, but didn't know it was a remake. My dad told me when I was telling him he'd love it because he loved westerns. Lol
One of my favorite movies. Both, are fantastic!
Rooster being a former outlaw turned lawman wasn't an uncommon situation in the Old West. Some towns like their sheriffs to have a rep since it helped them enforce the law. If your new sheriff was known for a lightning fast draw and tough as nails, that helped them settle down the towns since most were hesitant go against them.
This version is more faithful to the book, especially in the cadence of the language used.
"You are not La Beef"
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.
Oooh, one of my faves. I love the Coen Brothers.
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!
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
It's JOSH Brolin. James is his father.
Freaking love the remake, I love the original too!!
Love this movie, makes me feel fine growing up alone, and not having much people in my life,
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.
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.
OMG, *this* is where I know Hailee Steinfeld from! When I watched Hawkeye I knew she looked familiar, but I had no idea why...
I read down a bit but not far so I don't know if anyone has already said what I'm going to say. This is not a remake of the 1969 John Wayne True Grit, but rather a much more faithful screen version of the book True Grit by Charles Portis (1968). Also, Hailee Steinfeld was chosen from 15,000 girls after a nation-wide search. She was 13 and the only one who could manage the rather difficult dialogue believably. This has become one of my favorite movies. Great script adaptation & great acting by Steinfeld, Bridges, Damon, Brolin and Pepper. Oh, and the guy playing the prosecuting attorney during the courtroom scenes.
"You don't HAVE to talk.,"
😆😆😆😆 damn
VERY glad to see that y'all checked this movie out! Feel like not enough folks know about it.
I think it's Hailee's character with the True Grit!
the snore edit was awesome! thanks.
I wouldn't call it a remake,
But I would say that I prefer this version of the film.
An aside: The solution to the blanket hogging situation is to have a dog lying in between. :)
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 👌
I've read the book many times, so I knew the line was there, but as someone who has spent a significant amount of time in Jonesboro, Arkansas, it was crazy hearing someone say that in a movie theater.
Isaac Parker was U. S. District Court judge for the Western District of Arkansas, which included the Indian Territory. He was the most powerful jurist in U.S. history. He sentenced 160 people to death; 79 were executed.
True grit: passion & perseverance
This might be my favorite movie.
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.
This version is great but the original is still very much fun to watch!
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 who played the little girl in this film also played in the Disney + series Hawkeye and the successful Netflix series Arcane as VI.
12:54 South vs South actually, LaBeouf and Cogburn were both Confederate soldiers.
Yeah, LeBoeuf was legit CSA and Cogburn was in Quantril's Raiders who were more of a militia with questionable tactics.
Let's take a second to appreciate the fact that Rooster in this movie and The Dude in "The Big Lebowski" are the actor.
Cool reaction as always Mr. & Mrs. Movies, you both take care
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
I don't have much use for John Wayne, but the 1969 movie was one of my favorites. I saw this one when it came out. Liked it even better.
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.
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.
I like this version much better than the John Wayne version, its much darker and follows the book a lot better.
Love this remake. Love this channel
Billy Bob Thornton's awesome in the 1st Series of Fargo, if u haven't seen it.
would love to see you watching a few old spaghetti westerns with Franco Nero, they are very good
when this came out my brother was a journalist in Little Rock and got to interview Charles Portis.
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!
It’s hard to express how much the book meant to me as a child.. I liked both movies very much, but this version is special..
