Col. Stonehill:... when I have in my hand a letter from your lawyer absolving me of all liability from the beginning of the world to date. Mattie Ross: I will take two hundred dollars for Judy, plus one hundred for the ponies and twenty-five dollars for the gray horse that Tom Chaney left. He was easily worth forty. And that is three hundred twenty-five dollars total. Col. Stonehill: The ponies have no part in it! I will not buy them. Mattie Ross: Then the price for Judy is three hundred twenty-five dollars. Col. Stonehill: I would not pay three hundred and twenty-five dollars for winged Pegasus! Just watched True Grit (the Coen Brothers version) again. What a great movie. I love John Wayne, and his True Grit performance was terrific. But, I have to say that this version is better than the original. _____________________________________________________________________ “Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again." - Will Durant | ||

The book is 'show off' good regarding dialogue and I always recommend it in these threads. The Coen brothers version is my preference. I do miss the speech of a 'writ for a rat' but understand why the scene may have been ommitted... respect for the Duke; and to create uncertainty in the viewer. The music in the Coen Bro.s version is excellent. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

I love both. I'm not a huge Coen Brother's fan, but I thought that version did justice to the book and didn't take away from the John Wayne version. I may watch both of them tomorrow back to back while I clean my Cowboy guns and reload! Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia.
