Western – Film Objective

True Grit (2010)

The Western is a myth of values. True Grit is a story that appreciates these values without necessarily approving of them.

But its subtle changes should not be ignored – they contain all its secret truths, and theirs.

A Fistful of Dollars: Slow-Burn to Greatness
