I think it is because it is so brutal and realistic, add to the fact that it happens really quickly and it just leaves you stunned.

[@michaelmeadows4883]

Coen Brothers are masters at this. Their films, hell even No Country for Old Men, aren't exactly jam packed with violence. But the violence isn't taken lightly compared to your typical PG-13 blockbuster movie where thousands of indiscriminate henchmen are blown away.

[@testodude]

I love the way that pistol was loud as a cannon inside the small cabin.

[@RezervoirDog]

Absolutely! This scene caught me off-guard good.

[@SLOBeachboy]

Yes, it's a great scene and a great movie overall. However, watching the scene over again here now I really have to wonder why it took Marshal Cogburn a whopping 7 seconds to draw his weapon after the bad guy went for his knife. After all it could have been the guys intent to stab Cogburn rather than his friend - and in fact it looks as if he would have been successful in doing so.

[@NormAppleton]

If he had chosen any other accent and speech pattern type than "mumbling through a mouth full of marbles" then maybe. Honestly though his performance in this was mediocre at best, and felt half hearted most of the time.

As an actor, Bridges is several orders of magnitude greater than John Wayne. The only character that Wayne ever played was himself - one damned film after another.

[@MrChickennugget360]

For the most part classic westerns were not high art. They were the equivalent of comfort food. Not bad necessarily but not high art. Classic westerns were about cranking out as many films on as little budget as possible. All you need are some actors, old style buildings clothing and sets and the unspoiled American West. Part of the Reason Westerns don't get made as often as in the past is there is not as much of the "unstained west" as their used to be. Plus lots of old buildings are gone or built around by modern buildings.

The objection to "some intense sequences of western violence *INCLUDING* disturbing images" is as a sterner warning for easily disturbed people, despite the PG-13 rating.

[@alanfalleur6550]

It's another good example of how absurd the MPAA rating system has become and why it should be completely abandoned.

[@stephenhern4710]

Alan Falleur That is like arguing *Dead Presidents* should be again rated NC-17. My despise against the MPAA is not like that.

[@alanfalleur6550]

Esteban Hernandez What do you dislike about the MPAA rating system? I think it's completely absurd because most people don't read the fine print, and even if they do, who is to say what's intense and what's not. Why is western violence more or less difficult to endure than fantasy violence or plain vanilla violence? Some movies are extremely disturbing without any sort of violence and sex.

[@stephenhern4710]

Alan Falleur Well, as I put it, I state I dislike the rating system because, for example, while they are stricter for most of the time, they treated Sam Raimi as dog-turd over the fact being he released *Evil Dead 2* as "unrated" after that movie originally got an X (pre-NC-17) meaning ONLY adults could see it. As the MPAA's act of revenge, *Army of Darkness* was slapped with an R rating which, to me, pretty much stands for retarded for heavily tame films like *There Will Be Blood* while an R rating was NOT for AoD's head decapitation.

Most realistic gunshot scene of all time. Everything worked perfectly. The flame and smoke were superimposed because otherwise the actor would have been blinded by them. The blood was already on the wood behind him in the shadow. Some frames were removed to speed up his lurch back from the gunshot. It just came off as super real.

[@spoopy9689]

There are always mistakes, usually blood doesn't appear like that, and there would be a hole in the wood, and the shot would be a loud pop.

The chopping off the fingers was randomly, shockingly, hilariously superfluous. All Quincy had to do was stab him, but for some reason chose to chop his fingers off first, lol. Very emblematic of the Cohen Brothers style, to remind us that humans are just silly and we are all part of a divine comedy.

[@ColonBurns]

He was fat and seated and needed leverage to stand since he was cuffed. He can get that leverage by lodging the knife on the table and using it as a lever. Why just do that, when you can lob off some fingers in the process?

[@peoplez129]

@@ColonBurns Chopping off his fingers was a good way to get him to stop talking immediately. He stabbed him because he didn't want him to tell Rooster that they were going to be there soon. Except Rooster already figured that they weren't too far away, because he saw how much food was being cooked, enough to make bowls for several people. Same with the case of whiskey, it was clearly more than was needed for personal consumption. So it was really just to illustrate his stupidity, that he was protecting what he thought was a secret, that Rooster had already deduced. At that point, Rooster was just trying to figure out exactly when they would be there, whether it's very soon or hours later.

@@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449 That's just how the wild west was, and much worse. No cameras, no phones, no DNA, help was always hours or days away, which is as good as no help. A truly smart outlaw would have been virtually uncatchable, because if you don't know who did something, you don't know who to chase, but that's also why outlaws were often soo brazen, because most of the time they could just get away with crimes without ever being caught, until they finally were identified, and at that point there was no point in being more careful about your identity. The irony is it's also almost no different today even with all of our modern technology. Over 90% of all crimes go unsolved. Even if the police can get to you in 5 minutes, you could be dead by then 10 times over and the killer gone in the wind. We live in an illusion of modern safety. That's also why they were quicker to punish people with little evidence or for just being a vagrant in the area. You didn't want to be some traveler without some kind of alibi, otherwise you could be sentenced for something you didn't even do. But at the same time, that reality kept everyone in their place, kept most people nice and polite enough most of the time, and it also didn't hurt that most people were armed too. There were some checks and balances in place. So in many ways, we're not much safer today from criminals than people were in the wild west. The punishment rate for crimes committed was likely even higher back then than it is today, so in a sense society was actually overall safer. For every criminal in prison today, there are a thousand other crimes that go unpunished.

(Though I have ti admit that him not thinking ti pat the two down for weapons and sitting them down so close to each other is kinda odd considering that’s a great way to have something like this happen.

@@VideoHostSite This guy was slightly wrong in the fact that they hadn't seen it. They saw it as young children and not since then. They wanted to make a faithful adaptation of the novel instead of just remaking the original. They don't include stuff from the original other than when Rooster grabs the reins of his horse and puts them in his mouth to shoot the guys towards the ending with two weapons. They actually cut out stuff from the original movie, like getting rid of Rooster's cat, and changed small details from the novel, such as during the hanging scene. O Brother, Where Art Thou was only based on the Odyssey. They hadn't read the epic, but something everyone pretty much knows about, and they mention it, is it's storyline. You can know the basic gest of a story such as the Odyssey and still make a overall original movie around it.

[@jamesjoiner5766]

He was caught off guard and was late to the draw and he knows it . The sound on that gun (2:03) is epic , big 44 blackpowder pistol sounds just like that , the more you overload powder ,it it gets crisp as you break the sound barrier , My Remington would also had a high pitched ring if you max loaded it with pyrodex.

[@johnnytyler5685]

I've always wondered what the point of protecting Ned was when this dude had to know that Rooster was going to blow his brains out once he attacked his buddy. Did that dude just think that Rooster was going to shrug it off as he stabbed his buddy to death?

[@samsonguy10k]

He wasn't thinking. He was acting out of pure rage because of misbegotten loyalty to Ned and his partner betraying that "loyalty".

[@tkell31]

I thought the same thing initially, but settled on the fact he knew he couldn't kill Rooster so out of a sense of loyalty shut up the one who was about to rat.

Gaw the way he rocks back after that shot! visceral.

[@nuancolar7304]

And that's what getting shot "at close range" looks like. Kudos to the makeup guys and technical director for putting powder burns on Moon's face.

[@dennisyoung4631]

Like so: “He only noticed my approach when my pistol was within a foot of his head - and an instant later, I pulled the trigger and blew his brains out of the back of his head, and the coarse red-gray spray splattered on the floor of the room he had come from. He seemed to stand there, his eyes gone 'white' with a small black-edged hole between them, and *the tableau of his face entirely coated with a grimy dotting of powder-soot;* and I shoved him hard in the chest, such that he flew backwards for several feet while I quickly drew the door closed. The lock clicked under my hand, and I turned to rejoin the others.” This was written about a year or so before the movie came out. While I have not shot any people, I *have* fired black-powder revolvers (at targets).

[@braydenlinthicum373]

idk why but this scene is hilarious

[@tyjohnston8573]

Right after the gunfire, that one single shot, there's a change in Rooster's eyes. It's not at the horror of what he's had to do, but that he's done it front of a child.

[@HeresWhatIDontGetPodcast]

I suspect it's more about him realizing that he's just shot his only remaining potential informant in the face.

[@jarvy251]

@@HeresWhatIDontGetPodcast I suspect it's more about him shocked because he didn't expect the knife, and the realization that he should have checked. Maybe his IS getting old. That big lad was never going to talk, but he could have saved the one who would, but he was complacent and he knows it. Thats what his expression says to me.

Its like the filmmakers knew everyone would compare the famous "meadow shootout" so apart form a few more bullets flying they didn't really touch it, but reworked and tweaked everything else and added the beautiful ending to make their own iconic film.
