So, I decide to write a review to the movie "True Grit", which we watched in a class. The "True Grit" is an american western movie about fourteen-year-old girl Mattie Ross, played by Hailee Steinfeld. Her father has been shot by the coward Tom Chaney, and she was determined to bring Chaney to justice. She left her homecity and found a man, drunken U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, to help her to catch Chaney. Marshal Rooster was played by great actor Jeff Bridges, which I think is a most related actor for that role of the movie. And there is another person at the movie, which is ranger LeBoeuf, played by one of my favorite actors Matt Damon, who wants to catch Chaney and bring him back to Texas for murder of another man.
About the strengths of the movie I might say is a great actors team and very good direction work of Coen brothers. The story of the movie begins in a very interesting way and becomes more interesting by watching how a fourteen-year-old girl Mattie Ross fighting for a justice. Actually, I like the whole movie, but what i don't like a little is that there is not much action with shots and guns like in a classical american westerns.
I can not say that I am identified by any characters of this movie, but i can identify in me a little of all of them...
I don't really know what was the directors' intention or message to this movie, may be he wants to make a better remake to the Charles Portis’s novel. But what I saw in this movie was that if a fourteen-year-old girl could do what can not do adults(bring Chanye to justice), so anyone can achieve their goals if they have a burning desire to do that.
How does the film relate to american culture?
This is american western movie, so it shows the time of the end of nineteenth and beginning of twenteeth centuryies of america, the culture of that time, when women didn't have a full rights, when goverment hadn't enough resourses to make justice all over the country e.t.c.
Finnaly, i give this movie all 5 stars!
