“Fill your hands you son of a bitch.” Hard to believe this is the first film John Wayne got an award for, it’s his 139th film; I would have guessed he’d beat everyone at the academy awards. I mean this guy is such a huge film icon, starred in more than 150 films and all of them were praised. He plays, Rooster, a one-eyed, drunken, badass Us Marshall hired by a young Mattie Ross. Mattie is just a kid, she has a boyish haircut and man can she take care of herself. Her father was just killed and she’s determined to get the killer hung and avenge her father’s death.
Together they embark on a journey through dangerous territory. And with every passing moment Rooster gets more intrigued by how fearless and determined Mattie is and they form a friendship in which they save each other’s lives over and over again.
The Coen brothers are re-making this movie >.> And as much as I like their films, I don’t really think this one should be touched, but I guess it’d be interesting to see.
yeah while I was reading this I was thinking to myself "hey isn't this movie going to be remade" lol then I read on some more =P
ReplyDeletegood review, it's a pretty good movie, I just thought it moved a little too slow for me =/
