John Wayne is gone, Reivew on True Grit

Compared with the old version, the Coen brothers weakened the description of the era background of the hunt in the red zone in the Western film era, and strengthened the integrity of the plot. For example, the Texas Rangers did not die like in the old version, and the heroine had a broken arm and was old. In the future, there will be a warm passage of "meeting (moving the coffin and burying)" with the male protagonist.

In the performance, the male lead is definitely better than John Wayne. Needless to say, I don't like the heroine's aggressive robbery style. It's less simple and kind, and it's more unfulfilling. The meaning of not dying, not hitting the south wall, not looking back.

The shot of the one-eyed dragon flying and fighting the four bandits is very beautiful. It is a bit like Zhao Zilong riding alone into the joint venture, which highlights the charm of western films.
