Those irrelevant but playful conversations that are not in the new edition

1. The old version portrayed Cogburn's rough, alcoholic, tough guy image step by step through irrelevant dialogue. "It's useless to reason with the villain, the gun is the last word". The position that he was drinking whiskey in a hip flask with his backhand shot and killed a mouse in front of Mattie. Before killing the mouse, he said
Rooster Cogburn: Mr. Rat, I have a writ here says you're to stop eating Chin Lee's cornmeal forthwith. Now it's a rat writ, writ for a rat, and this is lawful service of the same. See , doesn't pay any attention to me.
[shoots the rat]
Chen Lee: [Runs into the room] Outside is place for shooting!
Rooster Cogburn: I'm servin' some papers!
Rooster Cogburn: Judge Parker. Old carpetbagger, but he knows his rats! We had a good court going on here'til them pettifogging lawyers moved in!

2. Mattie showed a kind of tough intolerance, although sometimes she would suddenly say witty "I have an idea", and then blablabla talked about a naive idea, but you can basically see the daunting reason of an old maiden in this girl.
Mattie Ross: I hope you don't think I'm going to keep you in whiskey?
Rooster Cogburn: I don't buy that, I confiscate it. And a touch of it wouldn't do you any harm against the night air !
Mattie Ross: I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains!

Col. G. Stonehill (马商): I'll take it up with my attorney.
Mattie Ross: And I will take it up with mine- Lawyer Daggett. And he will make money and I will make money and your lawyer will make money... and you, Mr. Licensed Auctioneer, you will foot the bill.

Rooster Cogburn: [to LaBoeuf] Lawyer Daggett again.
LaBoeuf: She draws him like a gun.

3. Cogburn is an old child and Mattie is a small adult, but they are similar in that they all have fatal unpleasant things in their personality, and their lives are completely isolated from others, like a rock Show them the same to each other, so that they can cherish each other.
Rooster Cogburn: [watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me.

Mattie Ross: Do you know a Marshal Rooster Cogburn?
Col. G. Stonehill (马商): Most people around here have heard of Rooster Cogburn and some people live to regret it. I would not be surprised to learn that he's a relative of yours.


During that old version 4. there is no competition spear, and those in the new competitive by visual completed legacy Lane are relying on dialogue and dress down to show the
Rooster Cogburn: the When's the SAW at the Last Time you Ned Pepper?
Emmett Quincy: Remember the I do not the any Ned Pepper.
Rooster Cogburn: Short feisty Fella, Nervous and Quick, GOT a messed- up lower lip.
Emmett Quincy: That don't bring nobody to mind. A funny lip?
Rooster Cogburn: Wasn't always like that, I shot him in it.
Emmett Quincy: In the lower lip? What was you aiming at?
Rooster Cogburn: His upper lip.

Rooster Cogburn: [checking Ned Pepper's dead horse] You're quite a horse-shooter.
LaBoeuf: I was trying for Ned Pepper.
Rooster Cogburn: Next time try for the horse, and maybe you'll hit Pepper!

Capt. Boots Finch (Innkeeper): So this is the man shot Ned Pepper's horse from under him.
Rooster Cogburn: Yeah! This is the famous horse killer from El Paso. He believes in puttin' everybody afoot. Says there'll be less mischief that way.
LaBoeuf: Fewer horses-fewer horse thieves. The

different ending is that LaBoeuf finally died, in order to save Mattie, they had to take his The corpse was left in the wilderness.
Rooster Cogburn: Texican... saved my neck twice. Once after he was dead.

I’m not saying that the old version is better than the new version. The new version has a strong rhythm. Modern audiences no longer need so much dialogue to build up a little bit of the image of the characters. Just getting the point directly will not make people feel boring enough to sleep in the theater. go. The new version of the dialogue is even more dramatic. The original ridicule about the Texans and the conversations about where they served during the war have turned into a point of conflict, and even led to parting ways. It cannot be denied that the new version is more visible.

But as far as actors are concerned, the auras of Jeff Bridges and John Wayne are absolutely incomparable. With a beard and a blindfold, I can’t see Bridges’ expression clearly. I can’t say that I’m not a tough guy, but compared to the 69 version, it feels like It's more like a bad old man with a mouthful of sputum in his mouth.
The heroine is evenly divided. Although Hailee Steinfeld is not the kind of short hair and playful style in the old version, there is a kind of calm iron tenderness between the brows. If it is translated to the Chinese version, Mu Nianci in the shooting sculpture could not be better.
