The main line is that the girl hired a law enforcement officer to avenge her father, and the revenge was bumpy all the way, and the girl lost an arm. The main line is that the LaBoeudf mounted police hunt down the killer for the bounty. The three of them travel together for a common goal. The long journey of the three is full of ups and downs.

After shooting Chaney, Rooster took Mattie to the hut on the way. Rooster ran as fast as he could, ridges, wasteland, sunset, dead branches, night, stars, and exhausted dark horses. In the end, the exhausted Rooster knelt on hundreds of feet. A few meters away, a gunshot finally saw a light in the dark night. There is a huge contrast between the male protagonist and the drunken and decadent drunkard before, and the characters become real and three-dimensional. And rooster finally confronted Ned and his group, fighting with one against four, which corresponds to the one-on-seven plot he mentioned before, gnashing the reins and facing the enemy with two pistols.

The ending of the final film is extremely realistic, as the opening scene says "You mast pay for everything in the world, one way and another. There is nothing free, expect the grace of god."

True Grit quotes

  • Rooster Cogburn: [referring to the defense attorney] Pencil-necked son of a bitch!

  • Mattie Ross: Who's the best marshal?

    Sheriff: I'll have to weigh that. William Waters is the best tracker. He's half Comanche, and it is something to see him cut for sign. The meanest is Rooster Cogburn; he is a pitiless man, double tough, and fear don't enter into his thinking. Loves to pull a cork... The best is probably L.T. Quinn; he brings his prisoners in alive. Now, he might let one slip by now and again, but he believes that even the worst of men is entitled to a fair shake.

    Mattie Ross: Where can I find this Rooster?
