good times ever

Ten years later, I rewatched "Thunderbolt", and the soundtrack that I didn't notice before is really beautiful, especially the piano solo of Little Dark Horse. As an adult, Mattie told the old sheriff that we had good times, too. Removing from the society in front of us, it seems that it has become a good time before. Repeated epidemics, bustling flies, and the re-emergence of the Taliban... The world is back in the arms of idiots. Like the Coen brothers' description of the world, chance, absurdity, and uncertainty are normal. Now we have lost Mattie's firm belief in avenging her father, the courage of "Big Cock" to kill all the idiots, and not even the luck of Lucky Ned Pepper. The hero has long since ended, and the night is rampant. Can we see the light of hope in times of despair like Colburn and Mattie on horseback?

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?
