True Grit Movie - Charles Portis's wonderful novel True Grit (1968) had the combined fortune and misfortune of being instantly made into a John Wayne western, which won the star his first Oscar, as Rooster Cogburn, a drunken, one-eyed U.S. marshal who agrees to lead a young woman into Indian territory to apprehend her father's killer.
This new movie by the Coen brothers, however, is being positioned as a "true" True Grit. Joel and Ethan Coen play around with the events of the novel nearly as much as the original movie did and adorn some scenes with their trademark black humor, which tends to clash with the book's Old West drollery.
