now look I don't know anything about anything but I'm like 99% sure it's not supposed to be pronounced labeef
my aesthetic is 13-year-old hailee steinfeld outshining everyone else in her first movie
"Time just gets away from us."
Only the Coens. The most authentic western in modern memory, only the Coens could accomplish what they do here and they warrant rewatchability to spare. For one, the Coens are masters of language. Always have been, always will be. The way they go about capturing the Old West linguistics and dialects and transplant them into unique and unusual accents of characters is an absolute treat to experience and in the process, transplants the viewer into the past. A merciless past, but not one without humanity.
The production values are sky-scraping with expertise across the board. Anyone who claims to know films is aware of the legendary status of Roger Deakins, and he is currently…
There is nothing quite like revisiting a movie ten years after you first saw it. When I saw this in theaters, as a 22-year-old, I enjoyed it. Watching it now, as a 32-year-old, I get it.
Yes, on one level, TRUE GRIT is just a classic western — a good, old-fashioned yarn about heroism, revenge, loss and family. It does not build on the genre or subvert it. Instead, the Coens worked to give us a perfect example of the form, albeit with modern flourishes and their darkly comedic sensibility.
But you can also watch TRUE GRIT as a story about time and aging — about coming to terms with the life you’ve lived, making something of the life you…
girls don't like clothes, they like hanging out with Jeff Bridges and threatening to sue people. forgot this is one of the best scores of last decade. won't make that mistake again!
"Well, I guess they was all married men who loved their families as they scattered and run for home." or "Gone the whiskey...seized in evidence."
This is such a fine old-fashioned tale that I found myself deliberately declining to think of it in any critical sense. Yes it has on its mind ideas of fairness and decorum, selfishness and altruism, how we treat people we feel we don't need to treat well, what constitutes a paradigm of moral masculinity. Whatever. It's also just a great ripping yarn, spellbinding.
any man in this movie: unintelligible tom hardy grunting
me: what are you saying i'm so scared
insane that, for TWO DAYS IN A ROW, i have fully committed to crying in front of strangers
also how can you POSSIBLY say the coens are cruel/empty-hearted when this movie exists!!!
The Coen Brothers have a way of making the ordinary seem mythical.
While America has a long tradition of folk stories, no one is quite carrying on that legacy quite like the Coens. Even classic Westerns seemed more concerned with moral dilemmas. This is why the Coens are able to heavily foreshadow in their screenplays without it seeming cheesy; you are in their world and playing by their rules.
The first reason for this, is everything and everyone seems important. If a man is approaching in a bear skin, it is shot as if it is an entrance of a main character. You are then enthralled by his words, despite him talking about quite ordinary practicalities.
They are able to…
mattie defiantly crossing that river on fucking horseback is probably one of my favorite movie scenes of all time
