True Grit
This is a
western genre movie. True Grit was made in 2010 and directed by Ethan and Joel
Coen. These two directors do a marvelous job of directing this movie which
brings tears and courage in the viewer’s eyes. This film stars Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn, Matt Damon as Sherriff LaBoeuf and Hailee Steinfeld as Mattie Ross.
True Grit is an
inspirational tale of young fourteen year old Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) who teams up with
an old frustrated U.S Marshall named Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges). Mattie’s father is
murdered by Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin) a criminal cowboy who
travels all across the Wild Wild West. As Coguburn and Mattie go on a hunt to
find Chaney they encounter many challenges and adventures during this ravishing
journey. Rooster and Mattie are also accompanied by professional marksman
Sherriff LaBoeuf (Matt
Damon). Cogburn, Mattie, and LaBoeuf all grow much closer and share
many stories and survival skills with one and other. This one simple journey of
their life’s, makes a huge impact on their past present and future.
There weren’t many
effects in this movie; rather there were many magnificent props and sets used
in this movie. The usage of props was a massive part of the making of this
movie. For example when the Marshall and Tom and his posy have a showdown, they
are all on horses and are all shooting with revolvers. These revolvers are very
high tech and put into good use. Another great aspect of this movie was he
costume and makeup. Each character was in excruciating costume, but the one
costume that stood out the most was Mattie Ross’s outfit. Mattie’s costume was
very detailed and worked out because for a cowboy all that is required is a hat
and a horse. Mattie’s outfit needed more work and time to make due to the fact
that she was a cowgirl. The acting in this movie was not that great but it was
average. These days it is really hard to find actors who would be suitable to
play a western character.
This family
movie is great for an audience that enjoys a good story and a good time to
remember what the true meaning of freedom is. Also if the great use showdowns
and horses pleases you than this movie is perfect for you. All in all this
movie is for anyone who is in the mood for a taste of the western style.
