I came away VERY confused from this movie. I felt like I missed something, some theme, some relationship, something that would take this movie from really good to great. It's been bugging me ever since last night and I can't stop thinking about it. It's making be irritated and anxious and I need to see this movie again but I need your help.

What am I missing? What did you love about this movie?

I'm a true, loyal Coen Brothers fan and have been looking forward to this movie for some time now. Maybe it's the hype, maybe my expectations were too high.

I don't know. I just know that I left the theater feeling like everyone else is getting this movie but I'm not.

After seeing most of Joel & Ethan Cohen's movies, True Grit, to me was sceaming Cohen-ness. The blood, the extremely dry humor and the cast, well when the movie ended for me I thought about how pleased I was to see the creativity of those brothers expressed so greatly. The Film had an air of adventure that leaked into my bones when It ended. A truly short-to-the-point movie where most of the comedy came from over-dramatization. When I don't get a movie, I try to stop thinking so hard about it, that is different than not liking a movie, because of some cinematic aspect (Story, Diologue, Editing, Sound, Acting).

I think this was my problem. Maybe, for some reason, I was expecting a high concept movie out of this. Not sure where this expectation cam from. I also 100% know I was thinking too much while watching it. I plan on seeing it again tomorrow with the hope that the results will be different. Or, in the end, maybe it's just not on the list of my top ten favorite Coen movies but I still think it's really good, which isn't bad.

I'd put this movie as one of the best of its decade. Also, I'm developing a theory about bars named after Lucky Ned Pepper. That they are not good places to be.
