Often with the acknowledgment of weakness comes a revelation of inner strength, and in Mattie's case it's the clarity of knowing exactly what she wants that makes her strong. Joining her pursuit of Chaney is a Texas Ranger named La Boeuf (Matt Damon), who has been on the villain's trail for years without success. But rather than working together, their different goals drive them apart La Boeuf wants to take Chaney to Texas to be tried for the murder of a senator. What makes Mattie Ross such a dazzling character is that her anger is not wanton, it's specific. She wants to see Chaney either hanged for the murder of Frank Ross or killed by her own hand. True grit isn't about compromise.
The film's greatest hurdle is reality. Few could imagine modern teenagers riding into the desert to hunt their father's killer, but Steinfeld's amazing performance and the Coens' ability to maintain authenticity sustains the story's credibility. Time and again Mattie is caught in confrontation with people several years her senior, but Steinfeld is unflinching and seems to possess the same steel backbone as her character. In true Coen brothers fashion, these moments are also frequently humorous, but they're never done overtly; instead they rely on how amazing it is to watch a fourteen-year-old girl completely dominate the people standing in the way of her goals. True grit isn't about backing down.
The story itself isn't complex, in classic western style, but at no point feels as though it needs to be. It's a traditional tale of retribution at its core, but what elevates the film is its approach and the characters, replacing as it does the standard, mature cowboy as the conventional protagonist with a young Christian girl. Not only does her point of view alter our perception of events, but it alters the perceptions of other characters as well things must be different if you are grizzled war veteran forced to ride with Mattie Ross as your companion on the trail.
Cogburn does have grit, but the movie's title is really a reference to the fortitude of a teenage girl. Bathed in the stunning cinematography of long-time Coen brothers collaborator Roger Deakins and a beautiful score by Carter Burwell, the film is a phenomenal and perfectly cast character piece. True grit means a lot of things, but in the hands of filmmakers like Joel and Ethan Coen it means one of the best movies of the year.
There is a moment in "True Grit" when John Wayne and four or five bad guys confront each other across a mountain meadow. The situation is quite clear: Someone will have to back up or die.
Director Henry Hathaway pulls his telephoto lens high up in the sky, and we see the meadow isolated there, dreamlike and fantastic. And then we're back down on the ground, and with a growl Wayne puts his horse's reins in his teeth, takes his rifle in one of his hands and a six-shooter in the other and charges those bad guys with all barrels blazing. As a scene, it is not meant to be taken seriously.
