"I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!"
"Well that's just, like, your opinion, man."
well played sir
...new shit has come to light... WOW of an actor
i came for copper and find gold
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
Man ... you made my day ... :D
Private Ryan sniped Private Jackson. Irony abounds
OH MY GOD.
heartbreak ridge
lol and he prayed while doing it too
Holy shit i just realized.
dirt and makeup sure can do numbers on a person
"Way i see it. Put me and this here rifle within and up to a mile away from ned pepper.....with a clean line of sight. Pack your bags rooster, this hunts over"
For some reason the quote "well rooster I'm shot to pieces" was my favorite in the whole film
There are a lot of great lines in the film as I recall, but I agree that is a good one
when a man knows he's going to die, his oratory skills go through the roof
Old as hell post to respond to but let's do it. I think it's because there's a weariness and familiarity in the line that tells so much story by implication. You get the sense they've crossed paths many times before. Sometimes one comes out on top. Some times the other. This time theyre both gonna die, but Ned gets a small victory by being the one to finish him off. Even if that brings no real joy he can be content in it.
Mine was also in this clip:
"Fill your HANDS, you SONOVABITCH!"
"The tell me you are a man with true grit." - Mattie Ross
I've always loved this scene because Rooster and La Boeuf both doubt each others stories all movie and then use their fabled skills to save each other. Roosters dual wield charge and La Boeufs incredible marksman eye.
This.
This incarnation of Ned Pepper is basically a live action Micah Bell, and I love it.
This!! Very true, I hadn’t thought of that but it’s exactly Micah Bell.
Since this movie was released on 2010, there's no doubt Micah's image was inspired by him.
Micah’s way more cruel yet you can definitely see the similarities
"I admire your style, Dude."
"Yeah, well I dig your style too, man. Got the whole cowboy thing goin' on."
"Dude abides" 🤷🏾♂️
I dig your ensemble.
I dig your ensemble, man...
Thankee
This scene in this version is so special. For a minute rooster got to be a man of true grit again. The older we get the sadder we get with our regrets and mistakes. We all long for one last moment of glory and rooster got his
Im 66 years old and had some moments of bravery in my youth...and realise they may never come again...yet you are right..we all long for those days. Well said.
@@johnwhitworth9074
Fill Your Hand ! Outnumbered still gives them a proper worning. In a move spoof I just had a strange flash back. As opposed to facing down 4 armed men, he calls for close air support. An A-10 fully dressed comes out of nowhere and turns them into swiss cheese! That's what happens when you spend 20 years in the United States Air Force. LT Rob Retired.
Thankyou for your service
Rooster was able to retire with no regrets. He had one last charge into the blaze of glory.
Time just gets away from us.
To me, the beauty of this scene lies in how it maintains the story's general theme of hopelessness and hardship, while calling back to claims multiple characters have made that were dismissed as tall tales. This scene suggests that, even in the hopeless despair of the film's setting, people occasionally live up to their hype.
Rooster Cogburn, earlier in the film, is laughed at when he claims to have defeated groups as large as four in gunfights. He insists that if you ride against four or more aggressively enough, some of them will run, and you only need to out-shoot the one or two who don't flinch. Later, LaBoeuf questions his ability to aim with one eye, and he's too drunk to demonstrate his skills properly. For most of the film, Rooster is portrayed as too old and fat, and too ravaged by alcoholism, to live up to his own fearsome reputation. In this scene, however, he shows himself capable of steering the reins with his teeth while riding at high speeds, and still wielding two guns accurately - a feat only a small number of people in the world could match today. Furthermore, he lands five direct hits with four shots. He misses once, kills two on the spot, fatally wounds his main target and the fourth retreats wounded. It's a display of gunfighting on a par with the wildest rumors about him, showing that, however much of a failure he is as a husband, father, soldier and lawman, he is indeed a fighter of true grit.
Rooster similarly lacks respect for LaBeouf, laughing at him when he claims to have once nearly caught their original quarry while pursuing him on horseback. LaBeouf describes having attempted to shoot him from a great distance, electing to shoot while moving rather than while properly grounded. Roster mocks him, saying that he "couldn't hit at man (at the distance described) if he were (grounded) on the Rock of Gibralter." In this scene, LaBeouf doesn't interfere with the gunfight because he has little chance of hitting moving targets from such a distance. When Rooster is in danger, however, he's forced to attempt a shot from a greater distance than in his earlier claims - the camera even highlights that with the weaponry of the time, he has to make the shot without a scope of any kind, using only the barrel of the gun as a visual aid. By landing such a miraculous shoot, LaBoeuf saves Rooster's life while also validating his identity as a marksman.
The upbeat melody that plays during the gunfight gives way to a sad, meek little reprisal of "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," as he takes aim. It's an old gospel tune, played mostly in sad scenes portraying the hardship of various characters, perhaps suggesting the absence of a merciful god. In this scene, just once, the two characters live up to their bravado and things work out.
This post is old but... that was beautiful.
I never noticed that "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" plays just before the final shot.
Great write up.
Well written.
Well written, but I feel like the one that retreated was never hit. Also could someone give me the names of the four enemies in this scene please? Thanks
Barry Pepper is a very underrated actor, in my opinion. He ought to have bigger roles.
+Joe John True. True.
He was in Saving Private Ryan also. :)
Let us not forget Battlefield Earth
+Joe John The guy steals every scene he's in. He's great.
+Joe John He got one line more than Robert Duvall in the original, that's a bigger honor than you might think.
I'm 64 and John Wayne was always my hero. I could never imagine anyone else playing Rooster. I was wrong, Jeff Bridges did an excellent job.
Barry Pepper is one of Hollywood's most underrated actors.
Micheal biehn
@@Locadel2003 funny how Pepper and Biehn are both most well-known for their roles as military men. And they're both damn good at it.
I like Barry Pepper
I love love LOVE the ‘old talk’ scripting in this movie. It’s incredible, just incredible.
A lot of it is verbatim from the novel.
The novel and the original film done by John Wayne (one of the Kings of westerns) is my favorite. I'll still take the Duke over this one any day.
Novel and original were the same.
It's brilliant, and I'm sure the actors loved this challenge
@@wyattjacobson4779 That's because you're a simpleton. John Wayne literally only plays John Wayne and couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Jeff Bridges is a hundred times more convincing as Rooster Cogburn than John Wayne was.
0:15 I like how they had the little moment of fear pass through Ned when Cogburn says "I mean to kill you in one minute...", because Ned realizes this is one guy who means it when he says that, and it's just a fact that you're about to be in a life or death gun battle with an experienced killer.
"Some bully shot!"
Doesn't start to describe the level of marksmanship required to make that kind of a shot...
Bully, indeed!
I realize I cannot prove it here, but I have a brother who competes with those guns. Regularly comes in among the top 20 of 700 shooters. They compete at 700, 800, and 1000...and no, he isn't an average shooter by any means. His eyes see 20/10.
That said, on a calm day at 400, with a load that hits to the ladder right's yardage marks... I could probably do it 2 out of 3.
One real issue is the lock time of the Sharps rifle. It is glacially slow. There is a good reason that the Sharps was well represented among buffalo hunters, but the Remington-ballard, Ballard, and Browning guns were popular among competitors.
@@jacobmccandles1767 - Never used one of those but I shoot a Remington 40X in 22lr with some of the old school Redfield Olympics. The targets are shot at 50ft, not impressive compared to your 1,000yd distances but to score a perfect score, you have to hit a pencil dot.
Maybe I'll get around to a 1,000yd shot one of these days. Take care and have a great holiday!
@@paulsimmons5726 , to be fair: not MY 1000yd distances, my brothers. I only claimed to be able at 300 or so.
Your 40x is a great example of a fast lock time. Imagine trying to.hold as tight a group with a gun that went off a half second after you pull the trigger. Okay, .25 sec...but there is plenty of ti.e for movement. Then a 4oz hammer smacks home, starting a bullet with over twice the in-bore time, from a gun with...chin weld at best... This all leaves a lot of time and opportunity for error to occur.
It isn't impossible too shoot a Sharps well. It just isn't the easiest gun to shoot well.
@@jacobmccandles1767 I hadn't really thought about the hold and the in-bore time. Yeah, I gotta try one of those one day, they look like fun.
@@paulsimmons5726 they are a ton of fun!
Matt Damon was fantastic, too. The Coen Brothers just know how to make great film.
Tony Dupre lol Charles Portis would disagree with you
@@palmeraviles7250 Why? This film is very faithful to the source material, just like No Country For Old Men was.
Jonathan Elfving because my uncle said he thought Matt Damon was to old looking.
Palmer Aviles That’s it? Not much to write home about is it?
@Mike Scott Most def. one of the best westerns of the past decade.
But, keep hating Mike!
Yes, Rooster only killed 3 of the 4 men. The guy in the bowler hat bailed out of the fight and rode off. He used his horse as a shield and got out of there quick.
Never even drew his gun. He just got the fuck outta Dodge.
He was the doctor, aye.
Just like Rooster says, if you ride hard enough you can beat a group of 7 because some of them will lose heart and run
@@BelleroseQC When the characters refer to him as "The Doctor" I believe that they are referencing the real-life outlaw and gunslinger Doc Holliday, commonly known as "Doctor Holliday"
@@astro16k80 No, I'm pretty sure he's just supposed to be a doctor who is in the service of an outlaw group.
Very rare nowadays to see a western put together so well like this. The Coen brothers did a great job. Unforgiven, open range, the assassination of Jesse James, Wyatt Earp are all masterpieces as well
Well they just copy and pasted John Wayne's work really. Still a great story no matter the era. I'll take the Duke though.
@@wyattjacobson4779 This film is better realized than the original. Something that doesn't happen that often, but it did here.
@@bmsuperstar1 This pathetic excuse for a movie is not worthy of carrying John Wayne's saddlebag.
@@eliascrookshank Nicely put sentence, but holistically untrue.
This is a far superior film and Bridges did an amazing job as Rooster.
Wayne just plays himself. That's alright for the most part, but Jeff Bridges is a real actor who undoubtedly did a far better job in this instance.
@A tired old man Well, we all have our opinions. But we'll said.
The eye patch really tied his face together.
It also showed how much of a good shot Rooster Cogburn was!!!
That's funny. Dude humor 🤣
And this guy peed on it
@@thedudeman445 Donny, please.
@@andreblackburn7819 you have received
The emotion and the power with which Jeff Bridges delivers the line "Fill your hands YOU SONOVABITCH"
Western cinema at its finest :D
I love me some John Wayne but... Sorry, he can't hold a candle to Bridges take on Rooster Cogburn. Wayne delivers that iconic line as if he's telling a joke, or a punchline. Bridges roars it with the appropriate sense of wrath that he's about to bring down on the Ned Pepper gang...
Preference of actor or not, it really isn't a contest...
A@linko304 Agree completely, but I never saw either movie beginning to end, and I wasn't a John Wayne fan by ANY means-in his log career, the only movies of his I liked were "North to Alaska" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," but I DID enjoy, in HIS version of this scene, the way he reels backward indignantly at the double barrelled insult-another three inches, he'd probaly have fallen off his horse, lol.
It's honestly insulting for anyone to claim that John Wayne's acting skills are anywhere close to Jeff Bridges. Not that you were claiming that. John Wayne played the same character in every movie he was in lol. He wasn't a "good" actor.
His Roosterness, or El Roosterino if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Well that's just, like, your opinion, man
This is the best comment ever...
Come on maaaaaaaan...
Anytime I see Barry Pepper I get excited.
The remake of True Grit has an all time great cast.
He's a fantastic actor. He played the part perfectly. He came across frightening. Like those men probably were back then.
The Sharp's carbine is an instrument of uncanny power and precision.
I have no doubt the gun is sound.
Daniel Arch even a blow to the head could only silence him for but a moment lol
.45-70? Not all that impressive (by today's rifle standards) in it's black powder loadings of that era, but, fortunately the human torso is rarely a match for a 405 gr lead bullet at even 'only' 1300 fps... (it's the 15 feet of bullet drop at 500 yards that is bothersome!)
@Some Guy 99 Nobody questioned the size of the round, only the efficacy.
By modern standard the .45-70 is an anemic performer, bested by several handgun rounds.
My grandfather used one to poach deer and feed his children, but he'd have been better suited for the job with an AR.
@Floyd Vaughn I think he mentions what it was in the movie, like a .45-90, or .45-100, etc...(can't recall exactly)
Great scene. The way Labeuf lines up his shot and that breathing was a perfect representation of sharp shooting. And the surprise look was even better. For the time, that shot would have been considered exceptionally good, and even today with open sights it's no small feat to say the least. I enjoyed this movie, and it's previous version equally, but this scene was far superior to the original just for these little things. The fact that in the old one he was standing and seemed to just squeeze off a shot versus here he is prone, and taking his time like a good marksman is supposed to do. And it helps that Damon had the look of a man who was determined to make the shot count but was also so scared he'd miss because of his first miss with Chelmsford, he even seems to say a quiet prayer before the shot. Beautifully directed, acted and shot. A great great movie.
He definitely says “Oh Lord” just before shooting. Always loved that touch.
There is a video on TH-cam of a man reproducing Quigley's shot from "Quigley Down Under" standing with open sights. Amazing. I used to think shots like this were unrealistic, real BS. I would smirk when seeing it. No longer. This is possible, amazing but possible.
Really anything beyond 200 yards at the time would have been essentially impossible for all but the absolute best and most practiced shooters... of today. Unjacketed lead rounds coming out of a questionably hardened cast barrel with a shallow twist rifling and a loose rear sight? No thanks.
@@joebombero1 The sharps rifle is capable of 1000 yard accurate shots in the hands of a skilled shooter.
@@Dudeman9339 That's not inaccurate sir. Rifled firearms could make shots far longer than that back during the Revolutionary War. Even smoothbore muskets could hit 90% of the time at 100 yards.
Rarely, rarely does a remake match an original.
Bless John Wayne and Jeff Bridges.
As much as I love the John Wayne version, this one had something the other never did. John Wayne as rooster cogburn is a tough guy who like to drink and occasionally he falls off his horse and gets silly. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn is a pathetic burned out drunk loser who failed at every thing in life most men are able to do but when he has to draw a weapon, he’s damn near legendary and able to kill almost anyone even when he’s outnumbered. Even with one eye, fat and drunk he’s a warrior through and through. But sadly that’s all he is and when left to his own devices, he crumbles and self destructs.
The two are a fascinating study into how people look at Cogburn. Even better is how people think a man like him would be when you consider his past as a marauder for the confederacy, a bank robber and outlaw. In both versions he had a failed marriage, failed to become anything and sleeps in the back of a Chinese grocery store working as a marshal. Yet in one he’s a tough guy that’s just quarky and charming. The other a drunken loser. One has a swagger when he talks and the other mumbles his words. That’s why the ending fight seems so amazing in the newer one versus the older one it feels a little more “well of course he could take four guys at once in a gun fight.” The newer one we never really see Cogburn so much to show he’s as good as he says he is beyond the cabin and bushwack scenes which one could chalk up to luck and firing from cover. Then out of nowhere this pathetic shell of a man draws his navy colts and takes on the ned pepper gang, kills two, fatally wounds Ned and scared off the last one on his own. One fight was an extraordinary man doing an extraordinary act while the other was a broken man doing something extraordinary.
The incompetent louse wouldn't have even made it to this point.
Spot on, Concordet👍🙂
A good analysis. Both films of their time, that's for sure. I get the feeling that people will look back on the remake as a 'let's look at the broken and fractured body of our culture and see what's worth saving' kind of moment. Though weirdly, think people might've had the same feeling about the John Wayne version, despite his Rooster being slightly less broken.
John Wayne’s version was cheesy and well, not gritty. This is the True Grit.
Many would disagree with you. I honestly think this is one of those comparisons that's strictly a matter of taste. Not sure either movie is superior to the other. Its all in what you like.
Can we just appreciate the fact that rooster shot a man on horseback at 50-60 yards with a pistol???
When I first saw this movie, I sincerely believed that it was all just Hollywood showmanship, but that is ABSOLUTELY accurate. That’s how the original Texas rangers fought on horseback. They carried multiple colt revolvers and were practiced enough to consistently hit a head sized target at 50 yards. They were the first fighting force on earth capable of standing up to the Comanche.
@Mary Terwiliger I mean, I agree with the sentiment when it comes to treatment of natives in the US. But the bulk of the worst massacres were done by the federal army, not regional authorities. And to imagine all natives as gullible, weak, unarmed and browbeaten, as they so often are, is to do a disservice to those who fought, and frequently beat, the US government. I'd direct you to Red Cloud's War first.
@Mary Terwiliger maybe they shouldn’t have lost and they wouldn’t have had to surrender
@@kgpspyguy The first fighting force on earth...
Man, you Americans are just...
So, who did the Comanche fight, exactly? They would literally lose to a small medieval army, and you had trouble with them while having guns.
No wonder you lost every real war you ever fought.
@@bmsuperstar1 the Comanche targeted civilians actually. They would attack small homesteads at night, murder and torture all the poor, tired male farmers, then “abuse” and torture every female from 9 to 90 for months before working them to death through slave labor. They also frequently LIED about belonging to other “friendly tribes” in order to get the drop on military bands, and traders.
The Comanche could fire arrows with unparalleled accuracy, ride as effectively as the Mongolian horseman, and “guns” at the time were generally single shot Arkansas rifles. Guns so pitiful they often weren’t capable of penetrating the thick buffalo hide shields the Comanche carried. The Americans also lacked the manpower in the west to employ the typical European method of combat (which is to say, using their own men as literal cannon fodder).
Read the historical account “empire of the summer moon” for a reality check.
Typical non American. Utterly propagandized, and ill informed about history. How disappointing.🤡
"oh Lord" - best prayer in any movie.
I think in this film you can't help but sympathise with Ned pepper, especially when Mattie asks him "Do you need a good lawyer?" because he didn't kill her, and he just responds with "I need a good judge".
+TheJoshForce I agree. In fact, I kinda liked his character even though screen time was short. And when he is shot he doesn't trash talk Rooster like you would think he would. "Well Rooster....I'm shot to pieces." That sounded more like a compliment. "Seems neither of us...is to see Judge Parker." Basically accepting that his wound was going to kill him. Kinda respect the man actually.
Who knew that in a movie with such a wonderful cast, Barry Pepper would come in and steal the movie in the last 20 minutes?
Fantastic performance, seemed like an honorable outlaw.
@@William_Sk he really did portray a great outlaw. it really felt to me that ned pepper was kind of sick of all the outlaw lifestyle but had to run and continue outlawing cause he didnt want to be hanged. Barry pepper did a great job for a role that wasnt easy to reimagine(since robert duvall already did it). i think the way the final shootout went, lucky ned seemed happy to be dying at the barrel of a gun instead of the end of a rope.
Jesus died and rose again to save the world from hell, but you have to accept him as your savior first. These Bible verses explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 21:4-6) 🙂
Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors...He will forever be remembered for "The Big Lebowski".."Fearless" and "True Grit" // all different roles and all played convincingly and True.
I just see Starman doing an awkward human-imitating turn of the head and looking at you with raised eyebrows...."Am I a joke to you?"
0:37 that has to be the most stirring music in a Western movie ever. Man, that's so good
Rooster was a cavalry veteran of the civil war. How many times had he charged against several men, guns blazing? Another day at work.
I was in a college town movie theater watching this. When the girl rejoiced with “ some bully shot! “. There were gasps from the audience. Getting educated about another time.
Silver Star oh no my friend. He rode by the light of the moon under bloody bill Anderson. Rooster was a stone cold marauder. He rode with the James gang. You can tell because the two pistols, a backup revolver and a rifle were their signature weapons during the war. They were raiders who killed women and children. Monsters every last one of them. If such a man as rooster really lived who rode with them, he would indeed never see a sober day for the rest of his life. He would be the equivalent of a brown shirt during the 3rd Reich. Or ANTIFA now days. A pitiless, violent, and sociopathic man.
@@concordetconstabulary219 More than a few Old West types worked both sides of the law at one time or another...Frank Canton, Tom Horn, Wyatt Earp was charged with horse theft at one point, and got caught in several bunco schemes in later life. And charging with the reins in one's teeth firing both revolvers was a known tactic of Southern guerillas during the Civil War...though that said "stone cold marauder" is still an accurate description.
Concordat you have a serious gap in historical knowledge. The Southern guerillas like Quantrills men had a certain chivalrous attitude toward women. They never harmed them even when they killed the husbands. One of the main causes of their revenge on Unionists was because the Yankees often accosted or harmed their women. And looted the farms leaving the women destitute.
The Lawrence Kansas raid is a good example. The northerners had taken several female relatives of southern men to Kansas City and locked them up. The building collapsed killing several and injuring more.
That incident was the immediate motivation to go to Lawrence and get revenge. They were on a killing raid shooting down all the adult men they could lay their hands on. They killed 150 or so but left the women alone. The women knew they wouldn't be harmed and many tried to block Quantrills men. These are well documented facts. I understand you want to slam the southerners but I suggest you need to research the facts and not accuse them falsely of things they didn't actually do.
Not to mention the difference between good and evil.
@@concordetconstabulary219 Unionists killed Anderson’s father and his sisters. William T. Anderson did absolutely nothing wrong.
Good thing labeif had a full deadeye meter
I think Wayne would have liked this version himself. It's not very often a remake actually sharpens up the script...and increases the authenticity.
Just a 10 year-old, so I haven't seen No Country For Old Men yet. But I've seen this and Raising Arizona, and I gotta say that I really loved both of them.
Quite possibly one of the best shootouts in any Western movie ...
Nice to see they didn't change a thing from the original ...
There were a couple changes. Eye patch is on different side. John Wayne had a rifle, not two pistols. Lines just ever slightly different.
@@johnmagill3072 This version is made to directly reflect the book. John Wayne's version though based on the book, was more like a western treasure island. In the book rooster uses a saa colt as a holster gun, a Winchester for range, and like the confederate raider he once was he uses cavalry pistols as his horse guns. Also you may notice that in this version rooster doesn't have bullet loops on his belt, this is because in the book he uses an old civil war pistol belt and keeps his cartridges in an old tobacco sack.
@@grizzlyblackpowder1960 I would guess in CW times they would still be using powder, wadding and percussion caps not pre made cartridges, so those horse pistols would have to be preloaded for each use beforehand. As would any from that era.
@@sonofcy I'd buy that. They look like old black powder revolvers. I don't own one, but they're identical to some that were on sale when I was shopping for mine. A weapon that requires deliberation and discernment and demands as much from the wielder as the wielder demands from it, the way it should be. It's tragic that ideal was pushed to the side until Average Joe Scumfuck can hold power he did nothing to earn and does not deserve.
Samuel Colt made men equal, and he was a damned fool for it.
@@johnmagill3072 The original version is the book. The John Wayne movie was a vehicle for an actor way past his best, and his best was overrated.
"I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!"
"This aggression it will not stand man!!"
Couldn't help it. The dude Abides.
I love how even Lebouf cant believe he made that shot. Even at 200 yards with open sights that’s a challenge but twice that with a sharps is quality shooting.
I know true Grit was a remake of John Wayne movie, but I think Jeff Bridges did a hell of a job in this movie.
you got to admire both Lucky Ned and Rooster, both men in the scene showed True Grit
when it come down to the final charge, both men rode right at each other, firing their respective weapons, Lucky Ned a Winchester 1866 yellow-boy, Rooster a pair of old navy sixers,
when Rooster was shot in the shoulder by that scatter-gun did he retreat, nope he just bit down on those reins and fired back,
and Lucky Ned when both his men where killed and the other ran off like a coward, and a bullet wound in the side, did he turn tail and run, no he didn't, he just bared his teeth like a growling dog, kept spurring that horse and kept firing that old rifle
well that just my opinion you be the judge
👍 👍
Damn, when you watch the two back to back, they are almost line for line. But at the same time, could not be further apart in tone. It's actually quite fascinating.
The attention to detail is fantastic. You can see the rifle round kick up dust when it hits the ground after passing straight through Ned.
“Rooster, I am shot to pieces”
This movie had the greatest dialog of any western, with The Outlaw Josey Wales a close second.
@@testodude I haven’t seen that one
This scene actually solidified both rooster and la beef....both men were legends in their own way....just like today a Texas ranger and federal Marshall has respect for each other....
Rooster wasn't full of bs when he told all those stories.....
And the carbine rifle is a beautiful thing
I love this scene and the music by Carter Burwell. It's such a Romantic scene, the lone lawman, outnumbered but boldly charging the outlaws, no attempt to take cover or to beguile his opponents through clever tactics. I often wonder if its bravery, or just indifference to his fate. Whatever it is I'm filled with admiration for the less then admirable Rooster Cogburn in this scene. I even admit to getting a bit teared eyed.
Beautifully put! It is a fantastic scene. I'm an amateur screenwriter (sadly not proffesional yet) I wrote a short western story in December which follows an aging Sheriff set to retire at the end of the week. Fait however has other plans, when the town is raided by a known outlaw gang and wait for him outside his office. His granddaughter (also in office) pleads with him to escape with her around back, but he explains he doesn't want his future dying in an armchair, he's a man who lives for purpose so steps out to face the gang. The gang leader knows of his legendary status as a lawman and gives him the option to turn a blind eye and let them continue their business. He refuses as he doesn't want to go out a coward, so instead he puts up his guns one last time and by the end of the gunfight everyone collapses in a pool of their own blood (including the Sheriff) his tombstone reads; a man who defended his town until his very last breath.
Yeah the music is outstanding
I’d say it’s like Doc holiday. Rooster is a damaged and haunted man who just wants it to end. If you recall he rode under bloody bill Anderson. Which would make him a war criminal by today’s standards. On some level I think he’s hoping to die, and on another he’s hoping to live like he did then. In the end I’ll quote Hemingway. “Once a man has hunted another man. Nothing else satisfies him”.
I like Bridges, but John Wayne was more epic in this scene.
Well if I remember correctly, Rooster Cogburn was a Missouri gorilla during the Civil War and that tactic of puting your riens in your teeth, using two revolvers, and steering your horse using your legs was one of their favorite tactics, it provided a lot of firepower and was said to put fear into their enemies, from soldiers to civilians.
According to captions: A dollar ball talk, for a one out batman, ok!
Now it makes sense.
Rooster was a 'Baller'!
That scene is prime goosebump-material. This film's a modern classic and, IMO, a better movie than the first adaptation with John Wayne. So glad I watched it in the theater when it came out.
It's a much better adaptation than the Wayne version by far. Steinfeld was 10 times better in the role of Mattie than Kim Darby ever was for starters.
I think both are great in their own way
Having watched the original scene right before this one after it popped up in my feed, this is so, so much better. It’s intense, brutal, and just so much more real feeling. The John Wayne version just feels goofy and light hearted in comparison.
I have to agree. The original was cheesy and this one is so much darker. @@GW71093
Charles Portis was a pretty good writer. This book hooks you from the very first sentence. Good movie, too. If you haven't already I recommend reading the book, too.
I love how even LeBouf can’t believe he made that shot. And yes, to shoot that far away with a 45-70 carbine with iron sights is borderline miraculous considering bullet drop, the length of the barrel, and the fact that at that range (400 yards at least) the front sight obscures a man sized target almost completely; that shot was the equivalent of shooting a target from 800 yards away with a .308 SOCOM M1A1. Not impossible but not something one can just do without being a very good shot and knowing their rifle like the back of their hand.
"Wow, how hard was that shot?"
_reads this comment_
"I still have no idea how hard that shot was."
@@Resi1ience Lmao! It would be extremely difficult, and require some divine blessing unless the shooter was an incredibly disciplined marksman. The scene serves to validate that LaBeouf is the real article.
@@Resi1ienceIncredibly difficult. Think beer pong at four times the normal distance and that’s about how hard that shot was.
@@Jonathan-om1wqdamn straight he was. I’d gladly have him as my back up in an old west scenario. My guess is that he was one of the soldiers in the civil war armed with a Whitworth meant to take out troopers from 300 yards or more as a sniper. Damn fine shooting
When you playing RDR2 with friends and you come across a toxic posse and your high level friend takes them all on at once.
MAN, This hit me right in the feels, as that high level friend that's been bailed out.
I was trying to figure out what R2D2 had to do with this until I re-read it. Cheers.
I prefer C3PO
If that game wasn’t auto aim only trash that actually got updated people would really play it.
I'm that high level
Just noticed something: Barry Pepper (who plays Ned) also played the Sniper from "Saving Private Ryan". So his death (getting picked off from long range) is sort of ironic to me.
and matt damon and barry pepper were both in Saving private ryan and are reunited for this film
He also has the same last name as his character. That's kinda cool.
And they both pray before they take their shot.
Totally missed that that was Barry Pepper. Props to the makeup department.
Lieblingsfachful He also played Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt in the movie 3. We know how that ended.
I love how Beef was like, "How in the hell did I hit that?"
Good acting on Damon's part there.
Hailee did a great job in this flick. She has a long career ahead of her.
Too bad she decided to go into making truly awful music instead of movies.
@@Christobanistan ☠️
Ned knows he has the upper hand but you can still see the fear in his face as soon as rooster said he aimed to kill him in one minute
A gem of a movie. Can't fault a single performance.
barry pepper is simply amazing in every role he takes on
This was my dads favorite movie the day he died this movie was playing on the tv at the hospital when I went to have his body turned over to the morgue. Doctors told me they didnt know how my Father was even alive as long as he was. All I said was "because he had True Grit".
Much respect to your father. He had true grit.
Jesus bless 🙂
0:36. Goosebumps!
Some of the best music I've ever heard not just in a movie but in general
Jeff Bridges is a brilliant actor
I do agree
+Tony “The BoneShackles” Dupre Aye. Check him out in Bad Company, my top tenner and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. You probably know all this this already.
Tony Dupre John Wayne is better
One of my all time favorites
@@lori8095 Jeff is a 99 out of 100 but John Wayne is # 1
I loved this movie. Perfect cast in my opinion. I love how gritty Bridges turned out. He had big shoes to fill and I believe with all my heart he did great.
When I was told Jeff Bridges was doing this film...I said...well if anyone can pull it off...it's him.
One of the better remakes of alltime.
I can't be the only person to notice rooster turn his good eye towards ned unafraid of what's next but more than anything certain to look his killer in the eye
The sound effect when the one fellow brains himself on that rock...ow.
Yeah, that must have hurt.........
I loved the 1969 True Grit, but the 2010 version is much closer to the book (which I read in junior high school). The 2010 is better, but both are outstanding.
the music was so on point. You totally understand how a soundtrack can enhance a scene with this example.
The main thing is that this was a book first. This film draws much more from the source than the original John Wayne film. The novel is by Charles Portis, written in 1968. This film is more True Grit than John Wayne's True Grit.
That being said, I enjoy both films. I just enjoy modern cinematography better. In that regard, I think the new film edges out the older one.
People keep calling this a remake, and I guess that's because they don't know that a book is the source for both movies.
+Krow that's because Wayne always had some weird illusions about the West. Allegedly that was why he never starred in a film alongside Clint, because he considered Clint's directing as too dark
Krow Well said.
@@stormtrooperelite1453 because the duke was a romantic. He thought the west was all fist fights and girls.
love this better than the the old john wayne version, to be honest in my opinion, he was just not a very good actor, only movie i can tolerate him for a short amount of time is The Longest Day, try any other movie and i just cant stand him longer than 5 minutes, he practically plays the same character over and over and over again in all his movies
@@mstevens94 I love everything you're saying, though I'd love to see a gritty western where they do ride into the sunset at the end, but with a more sombre tone, we're in the neo/deconstruction phase so nothing is off the table.
“Great” is a term well-worn, but entirely justified for this film. The ending is sublime and the music equally so. The way she puts Jesse James down - True Grit indeed.
I refused to watch this for a long time figuring the first was as good as it could get. This movie was 10 times better than the original
Indeed it was, and it was just a better overall adaptation of the novel in general.
I don't know about that, but I do like it when Ned asks Rooster what his intentions were and the Bridges character says, "I mean to kill you in one minute Ned... ." I like the edginess that Bridges brought to that response. It had the desired effect on Ned, as is shown immediately afterwards.
played back to back BOTH ''true grit'' movies are quality classics.
Possibly the best movie of all time.
I ask my kids this: "what is this movie really about"?
After much thought, and a variety of answers, I tell them this:
Its about bravery.
So much more than that. It's loyalty, responsibility, determination, justice and yes, bravery. All the attributes parents, good ones anyway, used to instill in their children while at the same time the movie makes it clear that as humans we're inherently flawed. It's a testimony to another time when people had to rely on themselves.
Cringe af😂
Jeff Bridges was amazing as well as the rest of the cast.
Forget Pepper, who the heck casted him??? He's splendid!!
I don't think either the original or the remake perfectly adapt this scene, but I'd say this adaption takes the cake. In the original the scene's staging ground for the gun fight feels so tiny, and there's little sense of geography, or how far LaBeouf is from Rooster at the critical moment where a shot must be made, making the moment less tense and climactic. But here the cinematography really comes into play, as we get a perfect idea before the shooting starts where everyone is staged, and most crucially, just how ridiculously far LaBeouf is from Rooster and how lucky he'll have to be to make any shots stick. The added drama of the perspective really sells the dire nature of the scene, especially since in this version Rooster doesn't really have a moment to react, and is instantly on the end of Ned's gunpoint whereas the original has Rooster awkwardly trying to reach for a gun that he could totally reach, another thing that lets the scene down. Bridge's Rooster sort of just accepts his fate, and lets it fall to greater hands than his, making his rescue that much more powerful. And all the actors are better, so there's also that.
Jeff Bridges was fantastic in this movie!! I love the John Wayne version but this was a phenomenal movie. Top tier acting and characters
"You go for a man hard enough and fast enough, he don't have time to think about how many's with him; he thinks about himself, and how he might get clear of that wrath that's about to set down on him."
Rooster Cogburn was a man born with a natural sense of aggression and fearlessness.
If you can imagine what that is like, you can begin to imagine what it is like to be him.
Barry Pepper was so damn good in this!
LaBoeuf: "Too far, moving too fast."
Matthew Quigley: "Amateur..."
Lmfaoo but he also had that rolling block from red dead
Buckets don't move
Quigley's rifle was a foot or so longer and calibrated for long distance. LaBoeuf was winging it.
One of the best westerns ever
so that's how R.I.P.D started
HAHA!
Bridges did a great job in my opinion, but nobody can beat Wayne.
This scene sent shivers down my spine since I grew up watching the original.
Perfect movie, perfect casting.
Small touches make a great movie: 2:00- as LaBouef fires & the bullet hits Ned, a small puff of dust is seen rising beyond him, indicating the Sharps bullet passed clear through him- wonderful detail & great direction!
John Wayne famously said that he didn't have much of an acting repertoire -- that he tried his hardest, and resorted to ('acting') techniques like pausing and speaking slowly so as to differentiate himself from the other big gruff specimens. Obviously worked for him -- esp. in The Searchers, possibly his best performance -- but Bridges demonstrates here that, given range and freedom, more is possible.
Clearly whoever thinks the original is better has never read the book, this is far more accurate
I love both versions of this film very deeply. I love this scene. It's one of the best in movie history...twice.
I love how he calls on God before the shot !
He never would have put himself in that position if not for Mattie. He also wouldn't have cared if he died if not for her.
This scene is built up to so well. The whole final act is, really. Narrative payoff after narrative payoff. It all comes together so nicely. Romantic (classical definition), tragic, and heartwarming.
They spent a lot of time humanizing Mattie, Rooster, and Labouef, and it makes it so when Rooster throws himself headfirst at Lucky Ned and his gang, it really feels like he's in danger and could be taken out by one well-placed, or even stray, shot. Also, note how at the end of his life, Rooster thought of Mattie. The man never had anything else in his sad, gritty life, but when he knew his time was almost up, he thought of her. She was the only thing that ultimately gave his life meaning, even if he could never find a way to express it, or convey it properly. And the script never even addresses this directly, it's just inferred. This means that it allows for infinte answers as to what their final conversation would have entailed. I love that Mattie just sums up her time with Rooster by echoing the showrunner's reverence, "We had lively times."
I love this movie. I can confidently say it is my favorite.
Even more so, he probably wouldn't have been successful without Mattie. She was basically just the right degree of chaos to the entire outing that allowed them to find all those outlaws and take them down. Without her finding Tom at the river, Rooster probably would have never found them if he was alone the whole time. Without her being taken hostage, Tom would have never been left behind with her, which means even if Rooster did find them, even if he had LaBeouf with him, it would have been at least 5 on 2 if they ran into them, and would have likely ran into them in less favorable circumstances. They probably would have ran into them in the shack house, and they would have essentially been trapped in there while Ned and his men rode up, and would have probably been gunned down. So if Mattie had never came along, Rooster and LaBeouf would likely be dead.
When I watch the original, I see John Wayne. When I watch this version, I see Rooster Cogburn. About the best way I can explain why I prefer this one, in addition to Roger Deakins' gorgeous cinematography and the closer faithfulness to the original novel.
I've seen a lot of John Wayne movies. This part was far removed from the other parts he was known for playing. I think he added more personality to Cogburn than Bridges did. In fact, everyone from Glen Campbell to Kim Darby to Robert Duvall to Strother Martin could have given these actors a few lessons. The vistas, backgrounds and cinematography were superior in '69, also.
I love how even Lebeaf cant believe he made that shot. 400 yards at least with a 300 grain bullet from a 20 inch barrel and a head shot to boot. Anyone who’s ever fired a modern rifle with open sights can attest to how hard a shot that is to make unless you have a perfectly zeroed scope and a hot loaded 30 caliber cartridge. For its time, that would be the equivalently hitting a man from 1000 yards with a .308 with a 3x9 scope. Not impossible but damn hard to do.
The Sharp's Rifle is an instrument of unparalleled precision.
Never did I think I'd hear El Duderino utter the words "Fill your hands, you sonovabitch!"
This a great re-make. I had my doubts but the Cohen brothers are all about perfection and it shows in this movie. The original was one of my favorites since my HS years but I am totally blown away by all of the actors in this version. Not an easy task to repeat a previously iconic version. I like the new Maddie better than Kim Darby. Kudos!!!!!
This scene is just epic, as is the movie. Truly some of the best dialogue and scenes in the history of film.
One of the best shootout scenes in western history
Wish it had the next moment, nothing better than the “stand up Tom Chaney!” So badass but adorable at the same time
The magic of a well made movie is woven into this film. Every scene crisp and one you dont want to walk away from if you happen across it on TV.
