Excellent observation. But I think Portis and the Coens are working at a level of artistry that would treat a lesson like that-"don't seek vengeance"-as a bit simplistic. Mattie is clearly a devout Christian, then and as a narrator; she'd understand rationally that God reserved judgment to himself. But as a human being, her impulse and relentless drive is to punish the evildoer herself, so as to be sure it's done. We're invited to see both Rooster and her as admirable and worthy of our love for their capacity for sympathy, despite their willingness to deal out rough justice. The recoil of the rifle that kills Chaney literally puts her in a snake-filled pit, which hugely backs up your point, I have to say. But I think if there's a theme, it's what this brief episode means in these people's lives, and how Mattie comes to love Rooster and LaBoeuf and they her, each in their own way. They protect and save each other. And then are lost to each other, and left with memories. The losses-well, Mattie is a warrior, that's clear in everything. Without risk and loss, it's meaningless, it loses any possible honor. And we understand implicitly that Mattie is honorable. So I think there's a nuanced attitude to revenge and punishment here. The people who were punished deserved it. And the losses of the punishers-I think it's more a price paid. Mattie never complains. Should we be scared away from vengeance, then, by her loss? Just not sure that's an intended message. Nor is the story pro-vengeance. That level of didacticism just isn't commonly found in serious art, is my point.

I always cry when she says “he’s getting away”. Rooster believes her to be delirious from venom. As the viewer, we know Mattie is saying that not just because she is delirious, but because she cannot ever let go of her quest for vengeance, especially not now.
She was delirious ... you are interpreting after that. Of course she saw the things at which she thought all day long. That doesn’t mean she carries vengeance.
0:17 Rewatched this the other day and just noticed that this is the first time Rooster properly recognises Lebeouf and treats him with respect. Up until that point he'd been giving him stick, ridiculing him and tensions had been boiling to the point where Lebeouf had left the party. It's only a passing remark, perfectly written and directed. "I am in your debt for that shot partner". Incredible film.
Eh, Labeouf brought it on himself with his arrogant Texas personality and assumption of authority/knowing it all. He wasn’t respectful either. Cogburn just enjoyed getting a rise out of him as a result. LaBeouf also almost screwed up the entire manhunt on his own despite always trying to come off as hot shit. His treatment wasn’t unwarranted.
“He’s getting away.” The cry of vengeance in her envenomed fever, followed by the harsh consequences of chasing it - she lost her horse and arm in the bargain. And she’d have lost her life if not for hard men like Rooster. Well done, Coen boys.
Quite simply one of the best western movie made after Outlaw Josey Wales. Everything about this movie is superb and the music is outstanding. The whole cast is brilliant, the cinematography is excellent. You just can't stop falling in love with the movie 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The first time I watched this movie, this scene got me so hard. The sheer, brilliant, subtle, emotional intensity is something I have seen matched in almost no other movie before or since. The horse suffering and dying in particular just about brings me to tears every time.
For those of you that haven't seen the movie, he then proceeds to pick her up and run with her a very long distance before he finally finds a house with lights on. He collapses from exhaustion, pulls out his gun to fire a shot in the air to get someone's attention, and commotion stirs in the house to imply that they come out to help. Very powerful stuff.
The death of Blackie was heartbreaking, but I always found it really sad when Mattie looks back and sees Lucky Ned and Chicken guy dead and left in the cold prairie.
***** To be fair, Rooster screwed up. There was a perfectly good horse standing next to the bodies ( 0:40 ) that he could have used alongside Blackie. Would have gotten to the doctor sooner, would make more logical sense, and may not even have had to run Blackie into the ground.
From the book: Rooster drives the poor pony on, even slashing him with a knife and putting salt in the wound to get a few more miles out of him. She says that they rode until, "In a few minutes the torture was mercifully ended. Blackie fell to the ground and died, his brave heart burst and mine broken. There never was a nobler pony". Then Rooster commandeers a wagon and is loaned a buggy to get her to Ft. Smith. A posse was sent back to locate the Ranger where they found him alive, refusing to leave Chaney's body. The last that was seen of him was riding back to Texas with Chaney's body. Rooster took the pony instead of a horse because he knew the pony was "game" and could be ridden hard until he died.
@@shahul8222 In English when someone or something is "game", it means very willing to do something. In the book Mattie describes Blackie as "game". He didn't want to be passed by LeBouef's pony. Cogburn knew Blackie wouldn't quit trying to go as fast as he could until he died. Cogburn sacrificed the pony to save the girl.
There is nothing in this movie that is not brilliant, from original story to the screenplay to the acting of Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld and Matt Damon, to the Cohen brothers' directing to the cinematography, to the use of music. A genuine masterpiece that rises to the level of myth in scenes like that of the hanged man and the bear man, or the last ride and the death of Blackie. We can't but love John Wayne, and his True Grit is a classic, but this True Grit surpasses that one in every respect.
What a fitting but downer of an ending. It's all about what happens when you're too young to have that much hate in your heart. You lose everything you brought with you.
And the rest of her life. After this, she really has nothing else. Rooster is dead and LaBoeuf is elsewhere, if he is still alive. She is unmarried and apparently lives in solitude.
one thing which might not be obvious is that Rooster is (allegedly) a veteran who was part of Quantrill's raiders. He might have killed women and children during his war years or been present when that happened. As a human being, this must weigh on his mind, and he decides that he needs to atone by saving Mattie.
She got her revenge, but it cost her nearly everything: her horse, her companions, her arm, and her innocence. Makes me cry every time. When we see her when she's older, we can see that the innocence is gone, and the child is dead: she died that night, same as the horse, after being carried to her new life, which is why we jump to her 25 years later. She lived, but the child died the same time the horse did, at the same spot, right there in the middle of that grass. Then she, and all of us, watch her past move further and further away behind her until we can't even glimpse it, and Little Blackie is swallowed into the blackness: the gravestone of a child before her quest for revenge. When Rooster shoots Little Blackie and walks back over, she is visibly upset and angered despite her condition, and "fudely" beats against him. She's beating back against the real world, the loss of her innocence, the death of her childhood. But he picks her up and carries her forward anyway: time moves for everyone, and the last line even proves it when Rooster ends with "I've grown old." A quarter century is a long time as Mattie says, but we also see here that a mere few weeks can be a long time too, in importance, in someone's life. This short trip signaled the death of her childhood and her entrance into the harsh world, and because of that, those few days and weeks on the trail were eons
The thing about this scene is that Rooster fucking loves horses, ponies, etc. Arguably more than people - except Mattie, to some degree. Remember when those kids were taunting that horse they had tied up in front of that cabin? Rooster literally kicks their asses.
My aunt’s husband like movies and someday he asked me is there any good wild west movie. I told him try this one try this one and you will understand sth. For me I saw many many things and inspiration, but I only say one thing, thanks for the Brothers make me this no-American a lesson about the old times and Wild West and the spirit of Americans.

This film shits on tHe lASt oF uS 2. A western story of one young girl's all encompassing journey of revenge for the death of her father and only in the end does she realize that she's lost everything dear to her and her lust for revenge wasn't worth what it cost. Same story, but one is far more beautiful, sad, and meaningful.
Rooster Cogburn and maybe LaBeouf were the only 2 men Mattie ever loved and that's why she never married. They set the standard for her that no man could ever achieve.
I usually hate remakes of films, but the Coen brothers knocked it out of the park. It's like they did w/ the original True grit can be compared to what Hendrix did with Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower"
What gets me is this scene shows exactly how far Rooster will go to save Mattie. He fucking loves horses. Remember what he did to those to Indian children who were hitting and abusing that mule outside McAlister’s? He beat one of them with a broom. He loves his own horse Bo to death. But he pushes Little Blackie hard enough to kill him, even getting a few extra miles out of him by stabbing his hindquarters to spur him on. Then, when Little Blackie literally collapses and is dying, Rooster shoots him to end his misery. He loved horses. It adds another layer to his character when you consider that while watching him go to such lengths to save her life.
The only problem; in the book the rooster was about 40, in both of the movies he was 60, 61, 62. Physiologically at that age most of the actions wouldn’t really have been doable. 40 not 60, 40 not 60…
Cogburn burnt it out til exhaustion. Once it started to get tired, he stabbed its sides to get that last bit of energy out of it. Once it finally collapsed, he put it out of its misery. Sad because it was quite a energetic and loyal horse too.
Probably not the brightest scene I've ever scene to be honest. Why wouldn't he pony one of the other two horses he road by along as a back up horse. Ride one when it gets tired get on the next and pony the one you were just on and give it a bit of a rest. Probably would have made better time and wouldn't have had to run the rest of the way either. Was something the Mongolians used to do and apparently worked pretty well.
Why exactly did he shoot Blackie? If my horse memory serves its because it was pushed so hard it would never be okay again so it was done out of mercy.
@@John572d4 Dont say OF COURSE, that was a surprising thing for me to find out. I have engaged in physical activities in my life where Im telling you I thought I was gonna die. There are men who have pushed themselves further! We don't become these shells of our former selves who need to be put down. Took me a moment to wrap my head around it and Im not sure I understand it still
Kinda wish Lebouf's last words to Rooster had been complimenting him back. "That was quite an impressive display yourself sir." Or something like that. Also, couldn't he have taken the lead bad guy's horse? It was just standing there.
My favorite thing about this movie is that part of it is a cautionary tale about what revenge brings.

he carry her to a place to get help, stay until she's out of risk, but gets away before he wake up, and she loses an arm.

Not quite, both are running the same speed yet one isn't carrying any extra weight while the other is carrying about 300 pounds or so.
That takes time. He needed to go NOW. He says at the end, "We have miles yet." :(
