I had a chance to see True Grit with my esteemed colleague Dr. Lee last week. Wow. At times it feels like a karmic prequel to No Country, but watching Jeff Bridges mumble through a cigarette and unkempt beard makes it look like a karmic prequel to Lebowski.
I actually haven't seen the John Wayne True Grit. My understanding is that this new version is quite a bit closer to the novel.
As I've mentioned before, I give the Coens more credit for stories they've devised themselves, as opposed to adapting from literature. True Grit gets a place just behind Fargo in my ranking.
