Barbara Shaw BS: Which 'True Grit' is truer? (64* d) RE: BS: Which 'True Grit' is truer? 13 Feb 11

I saw the new True Grit and thought it was a terrific movie. Was especially impressed by the young girl. So then, the old True Grit (which I'd never seen) came by on the TV and I tried to watch it, unsuccessfully. I found the young girl too stilted and stylized, just couldn't get into it, and I've never been a fan of John Wayne. Of course, I didn't see the whole thing and can't give it a fair appraisal without the full experience.

Never read the book, so can't compare movie vs book content or intent. But the Coen Brothers make fascinating films, in my opinion, and this new version is definitely worth seeing.
