Spoiler: show
Is it assumed that he threw the storyteller off the cliff? Or is the answer revealed lated in the flick? If so, don't spoil it for me.
Spoiler: show
It’s assumed that he threw him off the bridge.

I don’t remember if we’ve been over this, but have you seen the original True Grit?

i have not, is it worth it?
HELL YES, I love the original a lot. I can never decide if Kim Darby or Hailee Steinfeld were better in the role. They’re both so good!

They are very different in tone and look. I think the Coen one has fewer interesting themes going on, and a generally less appealing cast.

That said, the dialogue taken from the book is terrific in both. I just really don’t have any use for the remake.

Holy shit I had no idea the amputee from Scruggs was the same guy who played Dudley in the Harry Potter movies. I didn’t recognize him at all.
