I like the John Wayne version of this movie, but I love the Coen brothers version.
This
film is dialog-centric, like most Coen Brothers films are, but in this
case the dialog serves to really illustrate something view films do. .
.how things sounded like, not just how they looked. In these regards, this film is superb.
The film's ending, true to the novel, is also historically correct, as not a lot of time passes in an historical context, but in a human context, as the film notes, "Twenty five years is a long time." The changes in the west in the brief ending, and those things that had not changed, are subtly brought out.
It's an excellent movie, and a unique one given the emphasis on the dialog, a detail that it shares with the novel upon which it is based. An excellent film and one of the best Westerns ever made.
The ABA pivotal scenes (from a lawyer's prospective) on this film.
