2010 or 1969?

JayF

I already know you two had to have loved this one. This will be a great reaction.

JayF

George, the average life expectancy in 1860 was just under 40 years. That means that kids grew up earlier because more was expected of them. It wasn't unusual for women to be married at 14.

Odd Thomas

O' Brother Where Art Thou

Odd Thomas

If the 5 hour movie is Magnolia then I'm very happy

Vishnu

You guys watched Big Lebowski, which was Cohen brothers

gobmob2000

In Britain, muff, which i think is short for muffin is a slang word for vagina, and walloper would be someone who beats and thrashes you up hard. So muffin walloper would be someone who beats and thrashes a vagina?

Odd Thomas

For more Jeff Bridges: Starman For more Hailee Steinfeld: The Edge of Seventeen

Jay Davis

At some point, y'all gotta stop talkin' bout old people and squinting to read and how old movies are. You're starting to give me a complex. Oh never mind. It's fine. What were we talking about? I don't recall. Anyway. Where's my teeth? It's time for the evening news and a bowl of cereal.

Orphan Crippler

Lol Mini Kate Bishops got a way with words

Martin

I’m intrigued about the “5 Hour” movie you guys watched next. Malcom X?

Paul G

This is technically a remake as there was an earlier True Grit from 1969 starring John Wayne. However, the Coen brothers made it really clear that they were not using the 1969 film as inspiration for their movie because the original had strayed pretty far from the source novel and they wanted their version to be more true to the book. A couple other good modern westerns are Unforgiven (1992) and 3:10 to Yuma (2007). Unforgiven is particularly good. It is a nuanced movie - a lot like this version of True Grit - that dispels many of the old western tropes. I know Dances with Wolves (1990) has been suggested to you a bunch of times in the past but I have to take this opportunity to recommend it again. It's not really a western in the same sense as some of these other films but regardless it is a fantastic film that I know you guys would love.

William

Great reaction to a good film. I really enyoyed. I have to say this film is not a patch on the original. The 1969 starring John Wayne. That film was pure class and won a lot of Oscar's. Perhaps it was just because John Wayne was a fantastic actor. R.I.P John Wayne

Odd Thomas

Some other great westerns: 3:10 To Yuma (2007) Hostiles The Quick and the Dead

E.P.B.F.

I have a soft spot for the John Wayne version. It would be interesting to see how it stacks up for you versus this remake.

Carlos Hurtado

3:10 To Yuma (2007) is great. it also has a great cast.

Young Blood Priest

I’ve never had an interest in watching this movie now I’m kicking myself for not watching it sooner. This was really good.

JayF

Great reaction. We still need O'Brother Where Art Thou? at some point. Also, some more Westerns like Unforgiven, Silverado, Hostiles, 3:10 to Yuma, Young Guns, Pale Rider, Open Range, Bone Tomahawk (fair warning, disturbing content) and Dances With Wolves (not really a traditional Western but I want a reaction).

Young Blood Priest
>>118183945

I second Unforgiven. Great film. Clint Eastwood also made several spaghetti westerns. Two of my faves are High Plains Drifter and The Good the Bad and the Ugly. I think Simone and George will like both.

Keerit Thind

OG neo-noir Coen Brothers - Blood Simple. Their very first film, very low budget and very good.

David N

Was anyone rooting for the main characters to die and to set the horse free insted or was it just me?

gobmob2000

You should read the book "The not so wild wild west" by Terry L Anderson. Frankly, the wild west as it is popularly understood today as being a chaotic place is largely a myth, fuelled by popular media, such as this film, who have to inject drama for the sake of a story (Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy it, but it is largely fiction). The "wild west" was actually really tame and lawful, in fact it was more lawful in many ways then the cities of the time. I can't remember the exact numbers, but there where only between half a dozen to about a dozen recorded bank robberies in the wild west in a period of 20 years, whereas I think it was Chicago, had over 60 bank robberies in the same time period. Even the murder rate was actually lower then it was in the cities of the same time. Also the "cowboys vs Indian" thing is also mostly a myth, there was very little violence between the natives and cowboys or local people, most of the violence was between the natives and the federal government who very often sent the army to drive the natives of their land, causing conflict.

Chase Lonnergan

The teeth of corpses were used to make dentures. You could also sell your teeth to dentists for the same purpose. I am also so very sad that George pronounced my name properly. My day is ruined.

gobmob2000

You should watch the Dollars Trilogy for another western, staring Clint Eastwood, they include: A Fistfull of Dollars 1964, For a few dollars more 1965 and The good, the bad and the ugly 1966. Its one of the best trilogies ever made, and some of the best westerns ever made. These are Spagetti westerns, called so because they are filmed in Italy.

gobmob2000

Even in modern times, we still use and trade bodies. Its legitimate business, for medical research and training, for safety testing when a human analog won't do, even for art and entertainment such as body exhibitions (the famous body worlds, personally not my cup of tea, but many people seem to like it).

Parabolica

Interesting you’ve watch this not long after deadwood appeared on the TV poll; I think True Grit is a good litmus test for Deadwood - if you liked this you like DW. The writing/language nuance is very similar, although a lot more cursin’ in DW 😉

Brant

You guys should definitely check out Raising Arizona. It’s the second movie the Coen Bros made, starring a very young Nicolas Cage. Absolutely one of their best. Also, fun bit of trivia, when the Coens edit their own movies, as they did with this one, they use the pseudonym “Roderick Jaynes” as the editor in the credits.

James I

Bone Tomahawk is a great western/horror for them! :)

Ben

I love this movie :) I've been requesting it for a while now so it's very satisfying to see you react to it, especially as you seemed to really enjoy it! A little pronunciation guide for you, "Domhnall" is pronounced "Doe-nul", basically you're correct in the "nall" part, but the "Domh" is pronounced "Doe", Irish names can be a little tricky like that!

Logan Kerlee

Super enjoyed this movie! Such a great one. I didn't bother writing along as I watched this one. Felt it would take me out of the movie too much. I'm sitting over here shocked that I liked this so much. Normally I can't stand westerns. Each of the characters were so well played! I didn't mind any of them. lol, typical westerns have characters that pull me out of the movie so much. xD I've got plenty more experience than George with westerns (my dad ALWAYS watched them as I grew up) but not so much to the point where I can say that I've seen a lot of them. My dad though, he's seen every single one, not even joking. This isn't the original version of this, not sure if you both knew that or not. The original version was made back in 1969. I don't know if I've ever watched the original. LMAO, George, I didn't use subtitles and I understood it all. Westerns just have this style of speaking. There may have been a scene or two that left me wondering but for the most part it was easily understood. Glad you both enjoyed this one! I know that I did. :)

Ricardo Alanis

Hailee Steinfeld is great. She did an awesome job in Bumblebee, a Transformers spin-off.

dave

the "captain" quantrill exchange was about a massacre that happened during the american civil war. quantrill and 400 pro-slavery men surprise attacked an anti-slavery town in the middle of the night and killed nearly 200 civilian men and boys, robbed most everything of value and burned the entire town to the ground. later in the movie you seen an older mattie looking for rooster, only to find out he's passed. she says "keep your seat, trash" to one of the men. that man was frank james, brother of jesse james (both famous outlaws) who both participated in that massacre, known as quantrill's raid.

Martin Nicholls

I was surprised it won the poll, even though it was certainly my choice - usually people can't get past the original and will vote for something else. Controversial, but I think this is better than the original (and it has a higher score on IMDB despite older movies that are remade normally score higher). It's a great movie, and to be fair so is the original, but I think this edges it out for several reasons. By the way, if you like Cohen Brothers, and want to see more westerns I *strongly* recommend The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - it's actually 7 short (western) stories and they're all quite different and they're all great, and they remember to bring the funny and the casting is insane. It's a crime that nobody has done a reaction to it. It's like a crash course in modern westerns and it is excellent (and Brendan Gleeson is in it because: acting family circularity). The Tenet thing is entirely intentional, by the way, the man has some of the best sound editors in the business - and Tenet won an Oscar for sound mixing. The problem is the audio track is built for Imax, in fact one particular Imax, the BFI Imax in London, where I saw it and the sound track is *amazing* but you do lose a few words, but it doesn't matter because they're not important and it's what it would be like if you were there: you aint hearing nothing. If your ears aren't bleeding after watching a Nolan movie you're not experiencing it right. Not many people got to see Tenet right, sadly, because it was in a lull in lockdown, I went opening weekend and Tom Cruise was in, was very surreal because the movie never had a proper premiere. I personally think two things about the release of Tenet: it shouldn't have been released to streaming and when it did it should have had a tuned audio track to suit people's home audio better (though it isn't bad on my Atmos setup, I am somewhat an outlier in this regard) but not until it had a proper cinema re-release when the whole 2020 thing had settled down. Edit: oh, yeah, and also have to talk about Hailee Steinfeld's Oscar nomination for this: if you're up against Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and many others and absolutely steal the show you're doing something right. Speaking of Josh Brolin, despite the tiny part he has in this, for the time he's in the movie it's actually quite a memorable role and performance.

Heyo great reaction as always! One of my favourite time periods. As to what george asked earlier - when was an individual considered an adult? -it was dependant on the wealth of the family. Say if you had arable land, decent income and say some business that can turn a profit - as a male youd be considered an adult between 16/21 depending on circumstances. As a girl most likey between 15 and 18. These ages are due to having some "breathing room" in consideration to needs of money, food and shelter -being rich meant you could live a more relaxed life. Yet in more rural areas as this film is set, you could be considered an adult normally between 13 and 16 which again would depend on what wealth you had access too. As a girl you could be betrothed to an individual as early as 7/10 depending again on labour pressures. More married couples means more kids, which means more hands to help with the work = more chance for gaining extra wealth. It was a hard life back in those days! I dont want to write a huge blob of text so hope this clarifies some of the age/maturity issues. Hope that helps clarify! Great reaction guys!

Buster Scruggs is on Netflix, might be hard to react to it due to copyright issues. Plus, it kinda gets lost in there

sol stapleton

Highly recommend the man with no name trilogy.

FranciscoGios

Well George If you’ve lived in North Carolina for years people there they have some of the heavy Southern dialect, so when I was in the theater watching this while living in California the dialect in the movie didn’t bothered me. Thanks Simone & George for your reaction. Now watch the Spaghetti Westerns it’s a trilogy.

Matthew

I should have waited until the end to post but I got carried away. To try and answer some questions 1 - Civil war relation - during this time Texas was an independent state and as such they differed from customs, traditions and laws - Texas being much closer to Mexico often saw a more blended culture. After Texas was annexed their were indigenous Mexican peoples well established in "American Territory" called Tejanos + there was an influx of Anglo-American refugees taking root in these regions making "law" very debatable depending on who you were talking too. 2- Sofkey- Basically corn stew-normally fermented cornmeal/ground corn and water with a little alcohol - But Americans favoured beans instead of Corn which was cheaper - beans were a common staple on the "trail" (basically wild lands without civilisation) Beans had some awesome nutritional values, could be found wild, farmed, pickled, dried etc. Meaning it was very popular to cram a pound or two (lb = pounds) into your ration packs. they could be cooked over an open fire as long as you have some water to soak em in water and boom - you have a nutritional feast. 3 - the trade of Corpses - You have to remember that America at this time is made of primarily Christian/catholic + minor religions so the "taking of a buried body" is a sacrilegious crime. Also remember that modern medicine hasn't come into the fold. During this time, people like Robert Listen were in the process of pushing for a change in the medical world by formulating the ideas of "Germ Theory" (most people thought he was insane holding talks on tiny lifeforms that invade our every space) and Antisepsis + sterilized medical equipment (which as we know now is absolutely true) which revolutionized the medical world, as such the "opportunity" of having a relatively fresh body to experiment on and learn from was incredibly rare, especially in this part of the world (London stole homeless people from the streets and even performed a live vivisection on a prostitute in the 1800s during class to teach the effects of stress on the human body) and as such trading legally from those who "acquired" fresh corpses" was a rare and prized event. You couldnt really market it ( you could make money depending on what your business is - eg medical/charlaton medicine) unless you were "eductated" and in the Medical/Surgical business. 4 - the tracking of bounties - Its not as hard as we "modern" people make it out to be - to be fair to the individuals in this line of business: its a dangerous profession and it took its toll, physically and mentally. But its easier than we would expect -firstly how long can you go without water, furthermore riding a horse all day is physically tiring (requiring core mostly) so imagine you are basically doing a light abs + thighs workout for 9-12 hours and then add how much food and water you need. If you are living rough then you are dependent on the local rivers +fare and every local living within the area will know these areas intimately. Also to be known as a famous outlaw would mean that youve been at it a long time and as such you would most likely develope a pattern to your banditry and killing so with both of these crucial pieces of info it would be very straightforward to find a rough area that you need to be staying in. Combine these elements and add a monetary reward and you would be on your way to the "local river" or "plaines" and then you would look for camp clues which any single human who values warmth and shelter will make - Camp fire tracks can be followed for 3-5 days as the wood becomes charcoal and can hold various amounts of heat for days. Lastly - your shit -humans have evolved to notice, smell, detect shit from half a mile, all humans leave waste and its quite easy to find. As such tracking a fugitive takes time and a willingness to be uncomfortable but Humans havent changed their behaviour since their conception so they tactics we use now can still be applied in the following 1-find water 2- find food 3 - find shelter easy as that. Apoligies for the lengthy message but im a history buff and love it! Hope you guys found the answers helpful :) Great reaction as always!

Jesse Coombs

Please do more Coen Brothers movies. They are all so good. Also didn't you do "The Big Lebowski", or am I wrong?

Andrew Roach

One of my favorite westerns is the remake of 3:10 To Yuma 2007 with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe playing off one another brilliantly.

JLee

I haven't watched this since I first saw it when it came out. I may have to re-evaluate my Coen Bros rankings...

Will Moffett

The weird thing about Westerns (at least moderately modern ones) is that they ignore the fact that upwards of 25% of Cowboys were either Black/Mexican/Indigenous. Some entire areas were void of white Europeans entirely.

JP

Yeah what William Said only, I’ll add that the old westerns or “Spaghetti Westerns” used Italian / Sicilian folks to play Native Americans. Which again is a bummer for sure.

Choi_Yujin_Stan_Account

For underrated but very different film from Hailee Steinfeld.. The Edge of Seventeen

REDR58
>>118221545

Spaghetti Westerns refer to westerns directed and produced by mostly Italians/then generally Europeans in Europe (as opposed to the American West).

Steve kephart

If you guys want another fun western, you will enjoy Quigley Down Under.

MikeBdrx

3:10 to Yuma would be another great watch, and The Revenant.

Nate Terry

You guys didn't notice that Lucky Ned Pepper was played by Barry Pepper...He was the sniper in "Saving Private Ryan" that prayed before shooting the enemy...also as one of the prison guards in "The Green Mile" that helped Tom Hanks character. "It ain't normal for a mouse to happen on people like that..."

djKENTO

My 340th movie of the year.

Steve H

I believe you'll find the girl was the one with True Grit.

Alex Ch

Hi George! Had a great time with this one. You were absolutely expected to laugh at the things you found funny in this one. The Coen brothers basically alternate between comic and bleak, and this one was supposed to be farcical in the same way Fargo was.

Odd Thomas

Ooh is the 5 hour movie Fincher's Dragon Tattoo? That would also make me very happy.

JoeySnowyNoey

I love this movie. I haven't seen all of the Coen's films but so far I think this is my favorite. Also, Hailee Steinfeld has become one of my favorite actors right now. Everything she's in she's great, even if the movie isn't that good she always kills it. It's probably a long shot but The Edge of Seventeen (2017) is a great movie. Its super underrated and I don't think a lot of people talk about it, but its a favorite of mine.

simon brouillard

Another great movie/reaction and I’ll say it again 😏 2007 There will be blood , a PT Anderson film with Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano

Rupert Purcat

You should see the original as well - classic John Wayne.

John

Bone tomahawk! You guys would adore that movie!

Jared Winn
>>118209806

From northeast NC, by the Dismal Swamp. Friend from school had a grandpa that sounded very similar to Rooster. Old, drunk, and smoking who knows how many cigarettes a day will do that. I understood every word lol

Robert da Spruce

Did you know Hailee Steinfeld was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in this film? Well deserved IMO. She held her own against some heavy hitters in this film

Lola Lirola

With your love for Greek mythology (same!) and your love for the Coen brothers (same!), I can't believe you haven't done O Brother, Where Art Thou? It's a really clever version of the Odyssey in 1930s America, and a lot of fun! (maybe they've already watched it outside the channel? but if not, I think you'll love it!)

Lola Lirola
>>118238182

Great movie!! And yes, Hayley is so underrated, she's a great actress, she should be in more things. I think for a while Shailene Woodley sort of kept competing for the same roles, and apparently in Hollywood you can only have one of each of anything...

Lola Lirola

Edit: (oops, wrong place, nevermind, nothing to see here! 😅)

Matt Gwinn

I really thing you guys would like the HBO series Deadwood. I put it right up there with shows like The Wire and Breaking Bad.

AULDYIN

Great cast,great reaction,good movie but beinga massive John Wayne movie buff still prefer the original...👍

Grumples
>>118523416

I agree. Amazing show with amazing performances especially by Ian McShane. Sadly no one does any reactions to it.

Scott Elsasser

Fantastic review for a great remake. I hope, in time, you'll find time for Miller's Crossing.

Hexon66

"I'm so glad she just shot him point blank", "That's so awesome!". Not quite able to play out the whole theme of the story, are they? I love that they were so excited about the adventure story, but if you don't get the significance of that killing and its consequences, I'm not really sure you're fully appreciating the film.
