*"I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world as it is, is vexing enough."*
@Elisha We can literally see evolution as it happens. It is as much a "hypothetical philosphy" as saying the earth is round.
one of the few lines written by the Coens , everything else was lifted straight from the book.
It was ridiculous that she wasn't nominated for Best Actress. She's in every scene, she's the main character, but yeah, Best Supporting Actress, whatever.
I thought the same thing after just watching this movie for the first time tonight and then subsequently reading about it. What an absolute sham. How the hell does an actress playing the main character get lumped into "supporting actress"....? Disappointing to say the least
People complaining about the manner of speech sounding unbelievable should remember several things. First, this was an era before TV and radio, so regional accents were much stronger and more common. Second, the Bible was widely read and understood and its flowery manner of speaking was familiar and part of the usage of even the common folk. Third, this was also an era of story tellers, where information was passed on verbally and people had the patience to communicate and sit and listen to talk that may sound laborious to the modern ear - politicians back then who were known as top public speakers would go on for hours.
We don't even have to guess. People her age lived well into the sound recording age.
People complaining about this dialogue have no taste for lingual artistry.
That's a long way of saying that people are simply less fluent in the English language than in previous centuries.
Dialogue is no less than a symphony in this movie
Even Ned Pepper spoke eloquently, which showed that he did have a certain amount of honor and respect(just none for Rooster). Whereas Tom Chaney had none of the above.
I never would’ve thought that in a movie directed by the Coen Brothers and starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin; the highlight of the whole movie would be a 14 year old actress in her first role. To this day, I still believe that Hailee was badly snubbed and deserved that Oscar.
I absolutely love this scene. It's wonderful to see the English language being used in such a beautifully expressive way, and that's the best bit of negotiating I've ever seen. Truly marvelous acting!
It makes it hard to believe how quickly common language changes. This was only a handful of generations ago. If you're in the age range of ~30-45, this was based around the time of your grandmother's grandmother being her age.
@@Nathan-rn7wlwe don’t. In fact, most ppl were probably illiterate in the mid 19th century considering higher education was only attainable by the wealthy for the most part.
its just a bunch of cotton eye Joe sounds. Beatiful? Maybe...some consider road kill gourmet meat, so beauty is subjective
“Now, here’s what I have to say about that saddle.”
Mattie’s my hero.
She's brilliant. Clear, well spoken, smart, strong, a great character in every way. Why she's not considered the star of this film i'll never know.
Dakin Matthews does a hell of a 'Strother Martin' sort of thing with his character, it's very good.
Oscar recognition. Child actors are almost always billed as supporting. Paper Moon was the same. I don't know if she would've been nominated as a lead - 2010 was a fairly competitive year. I'd have nominated her but I'm not the academy.
@@timpatrick2109 Already did, they just called her a ''supporting actress" but she's central to the story and with very few exceptions she's in every scene.
*I WOULD NOT PAY THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR A WINGED PEGASUS*
@@RashaKahn Yeah I could flip a Pegasus on the black market for at least twice as much.
pft. i would have paid 10k for a fucking pegasus back then. you literally have a living airplane that you can breed with horses to sell people shittier winged airplanes. you can even inbreed some of them and make slightly purer lines of pegasi, and sell em for even more.
That scene had me howling with laughter! Incredible acting!
ptroinks Yes, " I do not entertain hypotheticals the world as it is ,is vexing enough" great line.
I love this movie! Have watched it four times and will probably watch again soon! 💕
Hailee really made the movie shine. And that is saying a lot because she was surrounded with great talent. Even at 21, Steinfeld seems to be the same nice person even with all her money and fame...glad she has people around her to make sure she continues to stay focused and down to earth.
'I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world, as it is, is vexing enough'. Yup, totally agree with this proposition.
She has acted and given expressions in this movie which would give inferior complex to even the most seasoned actors too. Her way of dialogue delivery is immaculate and so forcefully impressive. Her gaze is so piercing and fits perfect to her role. Pity that she didn't win the award for this role.
The hard cut after "here's what I have to say about that saddle" got such a huge laugh from the audience when I saw this in the theater. I can't believe this came out 10 years ago. This movie would be held in such higher regard if it didn't have the "remake" stigma attached to it. It's so great.
Maddie's so tough I bet she could talk Anton Chigurh out of a coin toss challenge.
"He will come after you with a writ of replevin." 😍😂
The Original True Grit was one of my grandfather’s favorite movies. This was the last movie we saw together before he passed from cancer.
This was clearly Hailee Steinfeld's movie, and the rest could only show up to keep pace.
She is also in the Homesman with Tommy Lee Jones. She pretty much played the same character. She is a great actress.
@FANG it actually was the point. A young, female orphan defending herself and her family in the wild west.
gregaj7 well put, and fully agreed. Furthermore, I have a feeling her more senior castmates would agree. The movie really did hinge on them casting the right Mattie.
For those who make fun of people from Arkansas, the real “grit” of this movie was Mattie... who is from Dardanelle in Yell County (just outside Russellville) in Arkansas. The book was written by an Arkansan and it is one of the greatest westerns made. Every time I pass through Dardanelle I always think of Mattie Ross! Both Wayne’s and Bridges Performances were great!! Love it
Her acting throughout this scene and the entire film is phenomenal. But that look on her face at about 2:39, where she realizes she has him negotiating toward her desired outcome, is genius.
I don't know why the funniest bit about this is 'writ of replevin'. That little bit almost sounds improvised owing to the rhythm of the dialogue.
Amazing performance by a 13 year old girl. I love the line the old guy says. "I do not entertain hypotheticals, the world as it is is vexing enough". Great line!
This has to be the most incredible acting scenes ever created
Such storytelling. She is priceless and never gives you a second thought about her "sand". God forbid you ever have to barter with her!! Priceless!
She was 13 when she was selected for this role. In my humble, this is the best "child acting" since Patty Duke played Hellen Keller when she was 16. If you haven't seen the Hellen Keller story with Patty as Helen (she also did the movie years later as Ann Sullivan, the teacher), treat yourself.....
its crazy how in hailee’s first performance at the age of fourteen, she was nominated for an oscar. goes to show how incredibly talented she is
The book was so poignant. It's language was of the period and there was a deep love too. She took his body and buried it and respected it until she was an old lady. Maddie never forgot him and never married. She never forgot this episode and will never forget the lump in my throat when I finished the book. Excellent.
Isn't it great? I just finished the book (which is how I ended up here) and I absolutely loved it. Mattie is an excellent character!
Japagow Trio haven't read that book yet good renwke with Jeff playing john Wayne
better actress playing the part of the young lady looks the part age range
I like both
cool hand Luke another good movie
towering inferno
these are classic move I watch
This version is closer to the book than the John Wayne version. I like the Duke, and his version was enjoyable to watch, but in the end it was a John Wayne movie. This one is a story.
“I do not entertain hypotheticals, the world as it is is vexing enough”. Great line.
The language choice in this movie, especially by Hailee, is outstanding. An outstanding screenplay and delivery.
Such a talented young woman. She's got bonafide acting chops with a successful pop music career on top of it. Nominated for an Oscar at 13. And she's still only 22. Go get 'em Hailee!
I couldn't keep all the pieces of that back-and-forth straight in my head, with the ponies and the gray horse and the saddle, but she could at 14.
The trader's acting is out of this world.
This was over 11 years ago. Her skills were on point back then. What a talent ...
Right now 2021 she deserves an interesting film role. Great to be part of bumblebee etc, but she needs a potential oportunity bc she has the talent bro.
I’ve watched this film 4 times in the last 2 weeks and now I’m watching scenes on CZcams 😂😂
"He was a close trader..."
Apple don't fall far from the tree.
As writing goes the dialogue and screenplay in this movie is top notch
Damn. This girl is gonna go far in life. Hell her voice is good. Maybe she can become a great singer too.
An incredible interaction. For me one of the most memorable in the history of the cinema.
The Art of the Deal by Mattie Ross
The music at the beginning is great it really sets the mood for the era it's based in. Great movie
Last time I saw this, it was in a theatre year’s ago.
I’m starting to like it again.
One of those rare times where a remake was at least as good as the original.
The courtroom scene in the remake was better than the original by light years.
“I WOULD NOT PAY THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR A WINGED PEGASUS!”
It’s funny because he previously said that he wouldn’t engage in hypothetical situations.
This movie is a masterpiece. And whilst I have absolutely nothing against the classic that was the original, & so often find for myself that the original version of any given movie is the best version, this particular remake was the exception not the rule. My Uncle was telling me one day how the first True Grit is one of his favourite Westerns. I asked him if he'd seen the remake, to which he replied that he did not even realise there was one. So I loaned him my DVD of it. He got back to me after he'd watched it & said, "My God, it's even better than the original!" :)
Brilliantly written in the language of the day. Bravo
Her performance just blew me away overall- complete surprise as this was her first major role. While there were great performances by all the named cast, really thought that she carried this entire movie from start to finish. Glad to see that she has success in her singing career.
"he will come after you with a writ of replevin." "A WHAT?!" "A writ of replevin." haha! i love it, too funny.
"Now here's what I have to say about that saddle!"
LOVED this shot... we're already amazed by Mattie's knowledge of the law, as well as her 'sand'- & then, we see her carrying the saddle, leaving us to use our imagination re the discussion with poor, overmatched Col. Stonehill... big laugh for me!!!
Just when I thought she was getting a fair settlement, she lays it on even further and won our esteem for her performance.
This scene would make a fine college law lecture.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and holy crap I didn’t even KNOW it was Hailee Steinfeld looking back. She’s been killing it since she was young Thats crazy
I thought my first time seeing her was in Edge of Seventeen
Wasn't she only 13 when she did this movie? She should've gotten an Oscar or other award for her role.
I couldn't believe my eyes and ears the first time I saw this scene in theatres. I was blown away and in a way that is hard to describe, it along with other scenes in this movie taught me how to be more verbally assertive when you have to be.
She's pretty feisty. :)
Great acting job. Hailee is one of the best actresses around today.
Hailee is definitely the lead actress of this movie. How the hell she was nominated as supporting actress is still beyond me. She is the reason why the movie is so good and people flocked to see - her sensational acting at 13 - she should have won the Oscar for leading actress category.
She was nominated for “best supporting actress” because that’s what the studio submitted her for because she had a better chance to win. Did you not know that? It’s pretty basic movie knowledge.
$325 in 1873 is about $7,000 in 2019.
In some ways, yes. But consider that in 1873 you could buy a substantial house for $325.
"When I have in my hand, a letter absolving me from all liability. From the beginning of the world, to date"
This movie was poetry! Just like the movie 'A Beautiful Mind'
In the novel Mattie Ross eventually , as an adult, owns her own bank, dealing with a grown up Mattie must have been a fearsome thing!
I echo the sentiments in the inherent acting ability of Hailee, & it was obvious that she was a natural beauty even at that young age...but having viewed a current pic of her...just wow! And I also had no idea that she’s an extremely successful singer now, as well. Good for her!!👏👏
Wow, what a wonderful clip. Lovely well crafted dialogue from both.... that could have gone on for 30 minutes and still capture my attention. I need to watch the movie now.
Still blows my mind that hailee doesn’t have an Oscar or Grammy or AMA... she deserves all of them Jesus she’s so underrated.
"I would not pay $325 for a winged pegasus!" 😆
Every scene in this movie is fantastic, it's a joy to watch.
She really is an incredible actress. After this performance I try to watch her stuff when I can.
I’ll never forget watching her in this movie. She was wonderful. Did not seem intimidated in the least by the other super stars in the cast. The scene with Matt Damon in her room was phenomenal. I was an instant fan for life.
"... will come after you with a writ of replevin."
"a what?"
"a writ of rep..:
"alright now lis.. blurp.. *stupid blinky face* listen very carefully..."
lol she got him all shook up
"IF I am given the money in advance, now here is what I have to say about that sadle," is the *best line*
I usually have little truck with remakes, but this one is certainly the exception. The Cohen Bros got the atmosphere in this one absolutely perfect, with superb sets and cinematography as seen in the end of this clip, and a very good soundtrack to boot.
Hailee Steinfeld' really and truly "nailed" this. She portrays absolutely accurately her character, one-third girl, one-third budding woman, one-third tomboy, and 100% strong-minded , opinionated and gutsy daughter of a murdered man , seeking justice for his death. She invests all of herself in her role and makes you believe she really is the person she is playing, the way an actor like Daniel Day Lewis does in his roles. Truly stupendous.
I remember watching this movie in high school, inspired the hell out of me.
Probably the best entertainment around
Thanks for your up load
Fantastic
I love the original movie, and I love this one. I would not argue with anyone who were to consider this the better movie, but as for me I'm equally fond of both of them and I am so happy this remake was made.
The owner of the establishment is an absolute pro when it comes to acting and this young woman kept up with him punch for punch. You can often see a less experienced actor stifle a more experienced performance but if I didn't know any better, I'd say that she's been doing this for about 20 years. What a scene...
She is a close trader, and impresses me with her manly qualities.
I remember seeing this movie and being so mad she wasn't given top billing with Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. Glad her career worked out.
This is what makes a good western into a great western, period type dialogue. People did not talk the same 150 years ago. Hell they talked differently 100 years ago. Different education levels for different people get different dialogue. I love it. There’s a few western movies that came out recently and the characters all talk like they’re from the hood in 1998.
Shes a great actress.
She really was such a great actress for her age here. You can't help but laugh when she starts haggling with this shyster. You see it right on his face when he realizes he's not up against the ordinary, insipid little girl.
One of the greatest acted movies ever
Thanks for posting. A great film scene based on a great scene and dialogue mostly as written by Charles Portis in the novel. For me, this scene and the final shootout are the best scenes in both versions of the film. In their own way, they each show the essence of the two principal characters. Mattie, clever, quick-witted, and independent - the smart business woman she would become. Cogburn, the fearless, "true grit" type that he had been. I agree with everyone else who is amazed by Hailee Steinfeld's first film performance. My dream scene, even though I loved Kim Darby in the first film, would be to see Haillee play this with the great Strother Martin, who played Stonewall in the first film
her accent very good..
Haliee was just incredible in this role.
Hailee Steinfield did a fantastic job her acting was brilliant. She has talent.
I adored this book because of the language. I was beyond excited to find the movie kept the heart of the story by keeping the language.
What a wonderful scene. I went to see the movie just to see this young actress because the previews of her made her the center of the movie.
Dam, she looks like adult Wednesday Adams
Phenomenal actress! What talent!
Such a key role as she's the protagonist of the novel and the film, so the portrayal needed to be strong. And Ms Steinfeld was superb.
Matt Damon himself said in an interview that he couldnt act like Hailee did when he was 13. Hell, he even said he couldnt act like that when he was 23. Said kid was special.
I would not pay three hundred and twenty-five dollars for a winged Pegasus!
She was fantastic. Amazing performance.
Way to go. So much better than the original movie.
I want to know what she had to say about that saddle tho...🐴
@@kauskommentator4145 Yes obviously. Gosh, you're a lot of fun arent you?..
A very good scene from a very good movie
This is a great scene - the Coen bros really trusted the novel and tapped into its tone by keeping so much of the dialogue verbatim. The combo of dry humor, quaint locutions, and serious bleak themes make it such a distinctive novel and movie.
This dialogue is fucking perfection. Love this film!!
A writ of replevin. Wow.
Thanks for spelling it for me. Now it's easy to look up.
"A writ of replevin is a prejudgment process ordering the seizure or attachment of alleged illegally taken or wrongfully withheld property to be held in the U.S. Marshal’s custody or that of another designated official, under order and supervision of the court, until the court determines otherwise. This type of writ is commonly used to take property from an individual wrongfully in possession of it and return it to its rightful owner."
It's incredible how this was Hailee Steinfeld's first performance and she managed to actually do better in one movie than most adult actresses have in years.
Including herself, as an adult. Ironic
@@ModeratelyAmused That's what a good director will get you.
Lmao what movies
@@ModeratelyAmused exactly she sucks now but she was amazing in this. Not even cribgry
She is still great. Have you seen The Edge of Seventeen??? She's great there. She is also great in Bumblebee.
