I love the Duke and the first one . . . but the second one was my favorite. No real reason, just liked it a little better. Seemed more “real” I suppose.
The first one was better IMO. It’s probably my favorite movie to watch while drinking too a little much hard liquor.
My book Club just read True Grit. We agreed the book was at least as much about the grit of the girl as about Rooster Cogburn. Of those who had also viewed both films, the recent one was judged “more real”.
I agree. The dialogue was much closer to the way people talked then. The girl who played Mattie is much better.
