http://www.aintitcool.com/node/47626 Harry says the Coens' TRUE GRIT is the best film of 2010 & the 2nd Best of their careers!
Every single character in the film is a unique and separate being with their own eccentricities, manner and motivation. Every single character is fully realized, no matter if they’re on screen a second or the duration – and that is something so incredibly unique in the world of modern film.
As a remake, TRUE GRIT joins a rare list of films that are vastly superior in every fashion to the original. There’s a reason… Like when JOHN CARPENTER was remaking the classic THE THING, he went back to the original story WHO GOES THERE – and lo and behold there was a wealth of material to draw upon. With the Coens, they weren’t so much making a remake of John Wayne’s TRUE GRIT, they went back and adapted Charles Portis’ classic Western novel.
I loved NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, but this is an instant classic. The performances and the setting, the music and the images… Everything is just perfect. This is the role that Bridges should’ve won his first Oscar for. It’s a big one!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
