  • @thegrinchl7 since u brought up shakespeere I should mention that hailee is filming romeo and juliet remake as we speak in italy as juliet.. So...

  • @thegrinchl7 R u insulting THE hailee steinfeld?

  • I love this scene b/c Hailee is amazing. But I can't understand a word Jeff Bridges is saying.

  • Love this film. Bridges is fuckin amazing in it!

  • Ugh! "Like, oh mah gawd! This dialogue is like, so difficult"! She single handedly ruined what otherwise would've been a perfect film.

  • 0:45 Cool runnings? This ain't no cool nut...

  • She is just AWFUL. Frankly, I do not think there are any

    teens left who can play Mattie Ross. These texting teen

    mall rats cannot handle the difficult Portess dialog. Like

    Shakespeare, you don't just start TALKING or READING

    shakespeare over night. Hailee sounds more like a L.A.

    mall rat than an 1880's bible thumping prairie girl.

  • @thegrinchl7 Woooooooooow, you really sound like one of those old geezers who sit on a rocking chair and bitch and complain about the "youth of today" Oh sorry, was that being stereotypical? Well you aren't any better. You want to have a go at playing Mattie Ross? Go ahead, see if you can do better.

  • vintage "dude"

  • God damn ducks

  • The dude abides.

  • loved the film as an overall experience, hated the ending. So totally abrupt and I felt nothing...

  • @HKragh

    My thoughts exactly. I was surprised everything happened exactly as expected, it makes a nice story arc I guess, but still

    I guess they had to work with the book and everything

  • Good film,Hailee Steinfeld (I hope I spelled it right lol) was great in this...The part when she negotiating for her fathers pony's was funny...

  • haha love this movie!

  • Coon hunt? You racist! :L

  • Coon hunt, this aint no coon hunt

  • The Dude is better then The Duke

  • Fantastic film. And personally my opinion is that Bridges portrayal of Rooster blows Waynes clean out of the water. Shouldve picked up an oscar for this

  • One person thinks this is a 'coon hunt. Tut- tut I crack myself up.

  • @jasper2008ify I love the new version, but stating that the 1969 version is not true to the novel is false. Both films follow the narrative of Portis' novel pretty closely and both depart from it in some ways. The biggest difference is tone. The 1969 version is a rollicking adventure in the same style as most American-made westerns of that era, but Coens created a somber morality tale out the same material. Both films are very effective and neither do an injustice to the book.

  • I thought the 1969 was closer to the book but I liked the newer one better because, like you said of the tone.

  • TO THE PERSON WHO INSULTED ME ABOUT TRUE GRIT,IF YOU CANT SEND ME

    A RESPONCE WITHOUT INSULTS STAY THE HELL OFF THIS PAGE, DONT SEND ANY MORE EMAILS. PS IT STILL STINKS

  • @jasper2008ify Could you send me that

    message too? I'm just curious, I think that steinfeld was the perfect choice for the roll.

  • @jasper2008ify - The Cohen bros. said they said they had trouble finding a teenager who understood the complex Portes dialogue. They said "we never did find her" when settling on Hailee. Download this podcast (available on iTunes) if you care. They said "quite frankly, we ran out of time". They never did find what they were looking for. Frankly, I agree. Hailee was DULL. Argue with the Cohen bros. if you like. Not me.

  • On NPR, the Cohen bros. admitted that Hailee was not their first choice for the role. They simply ran out of time and settled for her. In a world full of texting-teens...with their diminishing vocabulary and this bizarre habit of forming a questioning lilt near the end of all their sentences, the Cohen bros. would need a time machine to find their proper Mattie. Never mind their horrific choice of music at the END of their fine film. Iris Dement's pig-call nearly scared the audience to death!

  • @thegrinchl7 that's a lie. the Coens said they stayed with Hailee because they felt she nailed the character better than any of the other girls who auditioned

  • @ryanmacdaddy1000 -  Download the PBS podcast for Fresh Air with Terry Gross "Cohn Brother/ True Grit". In this interview both brothers spoke of "time running out". They kept "looking for and auditioning others for the part of Mattie Ross" but THEY RAN OUT OF TIME. They "settled for Hailee Steinfeld. You dope.

  • a little girl went hunting for coons?! how racist do films get lol

  • Damn ducks! Hehe

  • this movie is kinda dumb honestly anyone agree?

  • @fightinside1 honestly, your the dumbest person alive if you think that, no joke.

  • @fightinside1 Nope. Have you even seen it?

  • @GENEKRUPA1935

    I bet you're the funniest at home

  • this picture stinks how dare they think they can out shine the original actors.

    jeff bridges forget it, the girl just as bad. they won no oscars,did they.every time they

    make a remake they try to out do the origina land it dont work.dont waste your money

  • @GENEKRUPA1935 You know, this isn't a remake of the first movie. This is doing a closer adaptation of the book on which the first movie was based, also called "True Grit." This one was not at all supposed to be related to the first True Grit movie.

  • @GENEKRUPA1935 they DIDN'T remake it. they thought it sucked a bunch of nuts. I thought so, Wayne even thought so. they made it CLEAR that they WEREN'T remaking the old movie. they were remaking the BOOK. besides that, the actors in the new one said they weren't trying to outshine the actors in the old one. some of them haven't even seen the old movie yet. yet, they were far better than the actors in the old one

  • @ryanmacdaddy1000 - Neither film versions lived

    up to the Portess novel.Hailee Steinfeld's performance

    was weak The Cohn brothers were always going to

    have trouble finding a teen who could handle the

    complicated Portess dialogue. Today's texting teens

    don't know what arcane dialogue is. Iris Dements

    mighty HONK at the end startled everyone. Very few

    people would argue the John Wayne's Rooster was

    far superior to Jeff Bridges. I like THE DUDE...but I

    LOVE the DUKE!

  • @thegrinchl7 I'm currently re-listening to the PBS Podcast, and I can find nothing where they say they settled with Steinfeld. They say many times they considered settling on whoever they might cast, but didn't have to.

    Joel: "We would have tried to convince ourselves that the person we would have settled for was the right person. You do that when you have to, but we didn't have to" -- 8 and a half minutes in.

    You may not personally liked her, but I think you're mis-remembering the podcast.

  • @photolita - That's odd. That episode hasn't been available for months now. Which begs the question: what must you have been listening to?

  • @thegrinchl7 My bad, I actually listened to the NPR podcast they did on January 12th.

    I can't post the link on a youtube comment. And I apologise for the mix-up. Perhaps they did settle with Hailee, or said conflicting things to different podcasts, and I realise opinions differ from person to person, but I still believe her performance was excellent. But that's just my opinion.

  • Jeff Bridges sounded like a chicken

  • This girl is phenominal, she over stages Jeff Bridges

  • 1 person hates this fucking movie.....me

  • Great, great movie. Jeff Bridges is fantastic and Hailee Steinfeld is amazing.....and only thirteen when she did this movie. To Mr. Bridges - Please do more westerns, you were incredible in this role.

  • 0:02 , when he says "We?" is it just me or does that sound just like jeff bridges in real life?

  • she has a similar charm to Ali Macgraw or Brooke Sheilds I think! Hopefully she won't end up like Lindsay Lohan. She has talent, I wish her the best of luck!

  • izzzhaantnocoonhundin! lol 

  • the marshall is freaking hilarious

  • Lol, "this ain't no coonhunt"

  • This was such a good movie and a lot of it has to do with how great this young actress was in it :)

  • i love Mattie!

  • this aint no coon hunt.

  • WOW that girl is really cute wait before I say anything else how old is she!

  • @PEREZCHOOCH LOL, she's 14. Just turned 14, I think. She seems great, though!

  • @maiasm Oh my god I really hate myself right now dude that last comment I was drunk!

  • @PEREZCHOOCH don't hate yourself! Mattie is cute, and 14 is cute! Every guy from 20 to 80 is thinking the same thing!

  • @jegspillerpiano Yeah I guess your right!

  • i clicked liked because you told me :D

  • @fabian1696

    I know that movie True Grit will be good and a new actress name is Hailee Steinfeld and also she is a up and coming actress.
