I recently watched the Coen Bros' solid remake of True Grit. It's a simple story, told well. I especially enjoyed the contrast between the brash, hardened Rooster and the innocent, persistent Mattie. In the end, the lengths to which Rooster goes to save Mattie, certainly connected with me. I guess this post and my previous post have a similar theme. I plan to flesh this one out some more soon.
