The main line is that the girl hired a law enforcement officer to avenge her father, and the revenge was bumpy all the way, and the girl lost an arm. The main line is that the LaBoeudf mounted police hunt down the killer for the bounty. The three of them travel together for a common goal. The long journey of the three is full of ups and downs.

After shooting Chaney, Rooster took Mattie to the hut on the way. Rooster ran as fast as he could, ridges, wasteland, sunset, dead branches, night, stars, and exhausted dark horses. In the end, the exhausted Rooster knelt on hundreds of feet. A few meters away, a gunshot finally saw a light in the dark night. There is a huge contrast between the male protagonist and the drunken and decadent drunkard before, and the characters become real and three-dimensional. And rooster finally confronted Ned and his group, fighting with one against four, which corresponds to the one-on-seven plot he mentioned before, gnashing the reins and facing the enemy with two pistols.

The ending of the final film is extremely realistic, as the opening scene says "You mast pay for everything in the world, one way and another. There is nothing free, expect the grace of god."

    The nostalgia of the Coen brothers, the renewed tribute to the passing era, the completion and personalization. Two points, the precise application of the female perspective, and the lack of the reunion of the Cohen brotherhood that finally makes people find back.

True Grit quotes

  • Tom Chaney: [after being shot by Mattie] I didn't think you'd do it! One of my short ribs is broke!

  • Mattie Ross: [Discussing the price of cotton] We got most of our cotton in early. We got 12 and a half cents a pound in Little Rock.

    Col. Stonehill: Then I suggest you take the rest of your crop to Little Rock to sell.

    Mattie Ross: This being closer, I though I might check on the price in Ft. Smith while I was here.

    Col. Stonehill: Did you come all this way to inform me of the price of cotton in Little Rock?
