Review of True Grit

True Grit (2010)
10/10
True to the grit of the true western
24 February 2011
A Western is, when it is true, a song that pays homage to the soul of the western civilization - that grit which build the land - we must remember, that USA is founded on a spirit - an old spirit from the Christian homelands from whence the settlers left - a spirit of courage and good heart that may die, if no one sings about it - in recent times most songs about the old west have been cynical, brutal and in reality self-loathing - then comes this movie from the Coens - true to the fantastic book, that should be obligatory school-classic, and it is marvelous, what the brothers have made here - the best since Ford and The Duke passed on - and thank you, guys for keeping the Christian matrix of the old story - for it is both a story about integrity and true grit and also a hymn about justice, sin and being saved from the "snake-pit" of hell "when the man comes around!". 10/10
