True Grit

I mainly write about books, but I want to recommend a movie to you today—the Coen Brother’s True Grit. I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I remember watching John Wayne’s rendition of True Grit when I was a youngster. This one is even better. The Coen’s are simply brilliant. In this movie that craft (as usual) a stylized dialogue that is both memorable and engaging. The focus of the music is one hymn. The story is compelling. The acting is superb.

As classical school folks, we should pay attention to how to tell a good story. They are the best at it right now.

Hat’s off.
