Another excellent in-depth review! I LOVE how you spend time on the artwork. I was totally into the art, as you explain and share, in your past Book Haul video - I wish I would stumble across a copy of Romance of the Sea - beautiful. Keep on giving the art and illustrations (artists and illustrators,) their spotlight.
Don't worry, I will! I always feel the illustrations often get taken for granted, and yet - they have their own stories to tell! Thanks!
Excellent in-depth review of the book! I really appreciated the information about Maddie's language. I like the newer movie version personally. I never liked John Wayne, and never agreed with naming the airport after him.I got the feeling that Newport Beach was his little kingdom. Oh well, I'm glad you liked the book!
John Wayne looms large in my own history with Westerns, but the Jeff Bridges movie is also excellent. It did take the ending after the snake pit scene more accurately, and used Mattie's framing narration well. I especially liked her calling Frank James a "sorry piece of trash" to his face years later. That's our Mattie!
I've always hated True Grit the1969 Kim Darby and Glen Campbell film.
I don't mention John Wayne because Kim and Glen suck so hard it ruins the movie.
The 2010 True Grit Coen Brothers movie stayed true to the Charles Portis book and his dialogue.
Read True Grit by Charles Portis and then watch the 1969 and 2010 movies.
I wonder if you would have liked the John Wayne movie better if the roles had gone to the first casting choices of Mia Farrow as Mattie and Elvis Presley as LaBoeuf?
