Always one to make a ton with the Coen brothers ! Each year, the same old story, it seems they have spawned a new masterpiece. It is clear that there are still countless serious turnips in their filmography. In general, the Coen Brothers are tackling two types in particular: the film noir and comedy. They are also much more relevant in a genre that in the other. With the exception of The Big Lebowski , we must recognize that Fargo, Blood Simple and Barton Fink far outweigh the Intolerable Cruelty , Ladykillers and Burn After Reading . With True Grit, one would think they have ventured to address a different kind, the sacrosanct Western, this is only half true. Adaptation of the eponymous book by Charles Portis already filmed by Henry Hathaway (1 00 dollars for a sheriff ), True Grit borrow at Western that the formal structure, but basically it s 'acts mainly an excuse to throw some good jokes that the two troublemakers are fond. Grocers in good they are, the Coens we sell a product so that is not one, but that leaves eaten with pleasure. Finally no matter what you eat as long as it's good.
Splendid scene input, the camera zooms in relentlessly raped by a dark-yellow light of a glowing fireplace is the door of a house that lets the filter. At the foot of the porch, one discovers the lifeless body of a man whom we learn has just been shot by his groom. In the dark, snow falls diaphanous. This prologue also respond to the penultimate scene of the movie where the light of a lost home in the dark will come to embrace the latest breath of a young girl and a sheriff exhausted by last ride against death. Mattie Ross ( Hailee Stenfield ) is determined to avenge the death of his father from the top of its 14 years. With a plumb unprecedented in the history of cinema for a girl of that age and a fairly powerful diatribe, she will persuade the bounty hunter from the corner, an old drunkard eyed Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges ) to go pick her killer Indian Territory where he was holed up with his gang of thugs. What follows is therefore a long crossing of scenery and rides horse interspersed with encounters with one particular and rather awkwardly recalls that of the Indian poet Dead Man . The duo is a trio when Texas Ranger mingles with the prosecution, tasty Matt Damon which contradicts all the evil they thought of him, but the role of tenure under-operates somewhat tasty cons Employment of remained.
In effect it is comedy in True Grit. Each scene is shot in this direction, to cause laughter, stress, slashing commissures and exercise tips and trick redundant. Jeff Bridges and redoubling of glances, of uprisings eyebrows and dazed tunes to evoke surprise or suspicion, however, it is in unison with the 'potacherie' invented by the Coens. The genius of the replicas is enhanced by the brilliant performance of the small Stenfield Heile, only 14 years, a fine career ahead of her. This is not given to everyone to snuff Bridges, Damon and Brolin in the same film. The Coen giggle, unfortunately dint of playing too much spin with this delicious, one that sees a child having more guts (grit) as adults, they end up neglecting other aspects of Western, namely the epic (this is not a few races that can gallop the vent), the dramatic tension (the death of the horse blackie looks straight out of a novel by Walter Farley), the symbolic issue. Even if it takes the codes of the Western classical and essential Manichaeism with a credible villain played by actor Barry Pepper only true face of the film, he can not help shedding a little parody with second Approximate roles and a voltage hungry to show the sad final scene where Marshall faces four bandits, they are far from Ford or spaghetti Leone. Diverting tale Carroll, little Mattie / Alice discovers the adult world by killing what has to mean that they fall into a pit full of snakes and rotting corpses. Including vigilante is no act without consequence, it is grunting his memory amputated arm with which she suicide. Moralizing the Coen brothers, but not see you ... Some grocers were told, armed with some know-how and a sacred gift of the gab.
