Staring: Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Hailee Steinfeld
Directed by Ethan Coen and Joel Coen
JB's Awards
Bronze Wrangler - Outstanding Theatrical Motion Picture
The Coen Brothers can do no wrong. Anything that they do I can be fairly confident that I will enjoy it. Here, they tackle the Western genre for the first time and re-teaming with Jeff Bridges was a genius move.
It was said that Rooster Cogburn could have been The Dude's great-great-great grandfather. I can see that. I'd say that Rooster is a little more mean than The Dude, but I guess you had to have some mean in you to survive back in the day. I think JB captures the drunken grizzled US Marshal perfectly. When asked how he perfected his drunk acting, JB said that he has had some experience with the subject, and uses sense-memory to get himself to that state. He said that he made the mistake of actually getting drunk while shooting Kiss Me Goodbye for a scene that called for drunkenness. The first shots went great. But as the shooting day went on, things didn't go as well. He never made that mistake again.
