One of the best westerns in quite a few yrs remake or not!!! And as for Cinematography one of the great's up there with master piece's like Jeremiah Johnson and Dancing with Wolves!!
Cinematography is such a beautiful art, it is so hard to put it into words. The eye of the cinematographer, takes so many things into consideration, the script, the light, the actors, the backgrounds, the movement, the colors, the textures. It is so hard to put it into words, because one image gets to tell a whole story just by itself. So it is really difficult. I admire these people so much, because they are really artists, great filmmakers and excellet story tellers. With silent movies you get to experience it even more. I remember the movie the bear and the revenant, they do have a lot in common with true grit since nature takes a lot of the most important aspects of the film.
Jeff bridges cogburn and holly mattie ross adopts seamlessly to the environment, cold , isolated , just two kine riders and one character every now and then. Top class work.
I can never pick a "best" Western I've ever seen. (Plus it changes. I used to think "The Man That Shot Liberty Valance" was the best Western I'd ever seen when I was a kid, but as an adult I'm pretty mad Tom Donovan didn't just shoot him years before. But I digress...) My current "best I've ever seen" is Unforgiven (1992). This version of True Grit is #2. The first 2/3's of Dancing With Wolves is #3. If you count "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" as a Western, then that jumps to #1 for me. I also love the Searchers, but that's because it's one of the few films where you're sort of rooting against John Wayne at the end.
Wow. Just looking at the shots here without any commentary would be one thing, but to hear him describe that mountains rising behind them scene as you watch it is something else
Great great movie they don't show it too much on TV but when they do I watch every time, who never seen this movie they should it's a classic Rooster, Mr. Levine and Mattie were played fantastic.
Yes it did sir. If anything that event only reinforced the film's view of justice. That being said, I think Wally Pfister did a fine job and is more than deserving as well. He, like Deakins, is a fine cinematographer and I am excited to see him transition to directing. I wonder what Nolan's films will look like without him.
this film is good, but its no better looking than some of deakins other films, so im not too sad he didnt get an oscar for this particular one. to me he is the greatest cinematographer of all time. His movies are more special, memorable achievements, than a single oscar win would ever mark.
My property, Home in Roy,Wa is surrounded by freaking Cotton Woods.Dont go around Cotton Woods in a storm!? The limbs falling are extremly deadly! Also, The Woodpeckers peck the hell out of them!? They Will do it in one particular part of the trunk? up past the middle of the trees? It looks as if someone took a 1/2" drill bit and Made hundreds of holes. In a two foot section of the tree. Say half way up ? I don't know how Many years they peck at the same área? SO the trees end up falling from the pecking.. The graveyard next to our development. A prívate graveyard, with maybe 250+ graves in it?. Dates back to the 1850s. Has a lot of toddlers there. A good amount of veterans Rest there too. We're next to Ft.Lewis. and there is constant artillery, 50cal, mortars etc.you hear in the distance from the range etc. Which is a perk in My opinión? We're about 25 Miles south of the shit hole Tacoma! Where all You hear is those retarded mufflers followed by sirens. During the day but Even more during the night. Sadly the área has been beyond neglected. To and from work the Main highway is lined with mentally ill substance abuse and homeless Despair! While in Roy You hear birds and artillery ambience!!,, 😊🙂
In the nineteenth century, English speakers of all social stations expressed themselves in complete and grammatically correct sentences. The invasion of the slack-jawed morons didn't begin until the twentieth.
