True Grit

The remake grows on you.

The music is beautiful and a perfect fit, so it seems, for that part of the America of the period.

It's enough different from the John Wayne version to be an excellent film in its own right, in no way put in the shade by the other, or forced to be judged by comparison.

On one day I watched the thing 3 times through, and liked it better each time.

I did that with Miller's Crossing, too, years ago.

Maybe that was 4 times in one afternoon.
