New wine in old bottles

True Grit is an old film interspersed with cold jokes.
The only thing I know about the original version is a promo on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN-j4GDqjv4
I can see from the promo Yes, many classic sections in the film are copied or modified intact in the remake.
For example, the little girl smashed the woodcutter with her bag and turned into throwing an apple.
The clues of the investigation turned into the shooting method of Tianbi.
As for the lines and pictures of the murderer encountered by the river, they were basically copied.
————————————
I asked the older American old
men on Facebook before watching this film. They told me that before the original true grit, Westerns were always Eastwood heroes. .

Extending it a bit, before the Wulin Biography, our costume films were all...you know...
what heroes, magical skills, and the vengeance of killing the father.
It wasn't until a martial arts rumor suddenly appeared that this kind of film began to be ill-formed
, and true grit in 1969 was such a western film. The protagonist in the film is not a handsome hero with invincible marksmanship, resourcefulness and romantic romance.
It's a hooligan who drank, smoked, murdered and argued without believing.
The above is the value of the original version of true grit.

Note: In 1969, the black movement in America was still in progress, so when you see some racist jokes against Indians... relax, there should be not many blacks in the movie theaters. It is said that there are more jokes about black people in the original version. I don’t know if they have been deleted...

Speaking of the
big name of the remake , this 14-year-old boy The girl is also very reliable
She played the shrewd, capable, well-educated, and capable girl very thoroughly.
The actors are very good.
As for the makeup, costumes, and shooting, they are basically fully refined
. People who watched it may think the plot is old-fashioned, the plot is not tortuous, etc.
Well, I think you should take a look at the wilderness. Old movies like Red Dead, especially Eastwood's.
From the current point of view, this kind of film is really old-fashioned.
But if you can prepare mentally before watching it, then you will find that the remake of this film is a success. Although it is not as popular as King Kong, this film is originally a niche among countless westerns. From the past, it has been
the positioning of the niche . I think it is worthy of the audience and worthy of the original work.


Finally, remember, don’t go to the cinema to watch
1. There are no special effects or the like, just download it on the computer.
2. This uses the most Texas western accent. My colleagues at the cinema have long told me that these Americans speak English. I don't understand... I feel the same way when I went to watch this movie live today.
3. I recommend downloading English subtitles to watch, so that you can better understand those cold jokes. If you download Chinese subtitles, I can only pray that the translation quality is good

    The Coen brothers are the most American, and they have always been adhering to the fortitude of the pioneers in the hard times, the pursuit of freedom, the perseverance and pursuit of faith. The endless grassland, the deep and rough mountains, and the unpredictable valleys all convey the desire and concern for the boiling land under my feet and the people living on it. The movie music is great.
