Talk:True Grit (2010)
A remake?
I know that the original True Grit was made 42 years ago and for many movie-goers it might as well have been made 100 years ago, but still that's pretty gutsy. Rooster Cogburn was the role that got John Wayne his Oscar and the original movie is a classic. However I will probably go and see this one whne it comes out at Christmas. I like Jeff Bridges and the Coen Brothers. Change of pace for them as well. Well somewhat. --Jcordell 00:24, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
They're both based on a novel by Charles Portis. The Coen's version is apparently closer to the book than the 1969 film is.--John Ryder
The Coen Brothers version looks like it's going to be a lot darker and grittier than the other one. It looks badass. -humanzie3
Those that have read the book know that it also has a good deal of humor, thanks to the first person narration of Mattie Ross. I hope and trust the Coens to include that aspect as well, though not in a voice-over. -Blokhed 29 September 2010
I'm glad that Josh Brolin is in this. It'll make up for his piece-of-crap Jonah Hex movie. --Swordfish941 15:41, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Unknown Winchester
Rooster is also seen firing a Winchester at one point in the trailer, though I can't discern which model.
- It looks like a Model 1873, or possibly an 1876. I say it could be an 1876 because of the rather large bore diameter. - Gunmaster45
"Rooster" Cogburn charge
"Rooster" Cogburn could be using his Single Action Army and Mattie Ross Colt Dragoon because it looks like only the gun in his left has a loading lever
nevermind in one of the TV spot trailers is shows there there both Colt navy or Colt Dragoon, it hard to tell
-- I just saw the movie, and can confirm that he uses his two 1851 Navys, contrary to my earlier identification of one Navy and one Dragoon. In fact he never handles Mattie's Dragoon apart from the beginning. -- Blokhed 12/26/10
How does he fire right handed?
Hes blind in his right eye yet he fires long guns right handed, how could he be accurate without seeing the sights?--FIVETWOSEVEN 03:43, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Which hand you use does not matter, eye dominance does. For example, my father shoots right handed while is left eye dominant. - Jeff
You don't get it, he can't SEE out of his right eye, how can he aim if he can not SEE the sights?--FIVETWOSEVEN 20:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
The rope around the Henry Rifle.
I think the rope Brolin's character uses as a carrying strap should be mentioned because i just saw the film in theaters and the 3 other people that were with me were confused with what that was. Don't ask.
