Terrific movie.  I heard some idiot on NPR compare this movie unfavorably with the 1969 John Wayne movie.  I watched the  Wayne version on TCM the night before I saw the Coen Bros. film.  The John Wayne movie looks really cheesy compared to this newer version.  For those of you who loved "Deadwood", the dialogue will sound familiar.  Jeff Bridges' Rooster Cogburn is a real person, not John Wayne playacting.  The girl is played by a phenomenal newcomer.  When her name came up in the credits people in the audience applauded.  The direction and editing make you aware that you are watching a movie.  For instance, instead of showing us a hackneyed scene of a street in an old Western town, they make you strain to see it behind a slowly moving locomotive.  Three men on a gallows about to be hung.  The two white men are allowed to make speeches.  The third man, an Indian, is unceremoniously hanged in mid-sentence.  The business of the killing of Mattie's father is narrated because that was not the real story.  They wanted to get right to the business about this pushy little girl who sets out to put things right.  No mushy sentimentality.  It is a piece of business that she has to do.   Matt Damon is a stilted over dressed Texas Ranger.  Jeff Bridges is an amoral drunk.  The villians are loutish dunces.  For those of you who remember the 1969 movie, they used the best dialogue from that movie in this one.  But don't expect the same ending.

I couldn't agree more.  If that girl doesn't get nominated for Best Actress, then I probably won't notice, because I don't watch the Oscars.  But I'll still be enraged!!!  Great, great movie.

It will be the most horrendous snub since Devin Aromashadu was left inactive that one game.

Movie greatness: confirmed. So many outstanding scenes in this. The hanging, the girl negotiating the return of the gray horse, the courtroom scene, the interrogation of the two halfwits in the cabin, Cogburn throwing biscuits in the air while shithammered...so yeah, basically the whole thing.
