Rooster Cogburn (1975)

Movie Diary - 2013 (245 movies items)

"21.4.2013 Leffan juoni on oikeastaan True Gritin toisinto ja silkka tekosyy Waynen ja Hepburnen keskinäiselle hassuttelulle, joka kuitenkin itseäni viihdytti oikein hyvin. Erityisesti pidin Waynen rentoutuneesta otteesta juopon Roosterin rooliin, eikä Hepburnessa tai perinteisessä pyssyjen paukuttelemisessakaan ole moitittavaa."

" One of the best sequels of all time. Wayne and Hepburn are fabulous together! Through adversity, each comes to rely on one another's strengths and lend something of themselves to one another by journey's end."

" TV (RECORDED TO DVR) / REWATCH Date watched: 12th January, 2013 Project: Related to Favourites Why?: Sequel to True Grit (kind of) which I had really forgotten all about. No idea if it is a favourite or not. Director: Stuart Millar Thoughts: Not as much a favourite as the first film, but still enjoyable. The Bechdel Test = FAIL | Two Women = No | Talking = Well, no | About a man = yes | Again, I like Katherine Hepburn's character in this, but she's kinda on her own yes? "

Mukana on vielä joku random intiaaninuori jonka heimo tapetaan. Hän kuitenkin onnekseen jaksaa jatkaa hymyilyä entiseen malliin niin kuin mitään ei olisi tapahtunutkaan. Siinä vasta"

John "The Duke" Wayne earned his first (and only) Oscar in 1970 for his performance as Rooster Cogburn in 1969's True Grit. Rooster Cogburn denotes the continuing adventures of the US Marshall whose name was used for the film's title. Although a sequel, Rooster Cogburn is almost entirely not connected to its predecessor. The only connection can be found in the few returning characters, namely the title character from which the title is derived from. Whilst True Grit was arguably John Wayne's finest performance committed to celluloid, it was the character he created that was the icon. It was therefore logical to bring Rooster Cogburn back to run riot in the Indian Territories once again, th” read more
