Title: "I call that bold talk from a one-eyed fat man."
Post by: Dining Room Battles on 18 September 2020, 06:27:45 PM

When he’s not staggeringly drunk, Cogburn’s good at what he does, but he’s lost the calling and in fact seems to have lost respect for human life. In the Coen brothers noir Western ‘True Grit’, Jeff Bridges’ plays Rooster Cogburn as an amiable mess of a character; a flawed U.S. deputy marshal, but someone you can rely on and would want by your side in times of trouble . . .

Don't forget the 1969 version with John Wayne.

Nice work.

Im with you that Jeff Bridges Cogburn is the one for me. The original film is great but the Coen's was much closer to the book. Both top films

I too much prefer the Coen brothers version, not just for Bridge's portrayal of Cogburn but the Mattie Ross performance by Hailee Steinfeld was excellent, she was nominated for an Oscar. The entire cast was superb really.
