Without waiting for local cinemas to catch up with the rest of the world, I got my hands on a copy of “True Grit” – a new movie by Coen brothers, of who I am a big fan.
Every film they do is different from every other, and is a masterpiece of its own. Ā “True Grit” follows the pattern. Ā It is a western, with beautiful and authentic cinematics, colorful characters, excellent acting, and simple, yet unique story telling. Ā The story itself is simple and straightforward – there are no twists as such. Ā But it tells the story of people with character, courage, and will. Ā It tells the story of the days that have long past, yet which is applicable to modern days. Ā It shows people who lived in a very different world, yet were so similar to us.
A 5 out of 5 from me and a recommendation for home collection – you’ll want to see it this movie more than once.
