Watched it the other night. Its good. Really like the girl. Watched Shane the night before. Now that's a Classic. The kid is great. When I visit my elderly Mom old Westerns is about all we watch. Gunsmoke my favorite. I remember vividly as a kid on Sunday nights(I think) when the opening music would start I would run through the house and slide in my socks past my Dad in his big chair and set up just in time to try and out draw Matt. Never did. good stuff

I keep repeating that 14 year old Mattie was the real hero of the book. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/01/full-16668-216322-image.jpg)

The second one feels much more like the book. I enjoy it more. The first one is a good John Wayne western. Huh?! You could almost watch the two movies side by side. Same scenes, same lines. They are almost identical except with different actors. BTW, I think the first was s smidge better.

Only saw a short bit of the second one, seemed to me Bridges was trying to hard to portray his character. It seemed strained and unnatural to me, but like I said only saw a few minutes.

Neither movie followed the book after Mattie recovered. Rooster eventually joined a Wild West show and died up in Arkansas.

I thought one of the best scenes in the remake was near the end when adult Mattie told Frank James "keep your seat trash". She was well aware of his notorious past.
