[@brettzforeman]

To me, the beauty of this scene lies in how it maintains the story's general theme of hopelessness and hardship, while calling back to claims multiple characters have made that were dismissed as tall tales. This scene suggests that, even in the hopeless despair of the film's setting, people occasionally live up to their hype. Rooster Cogburn, earlier in the film, is laughed at when he claims to have defeated groups as large as four in gunfights. He insists that if you ride against four or more aggressively enough, some of them will run, and you only need to out-shoot the one or two who don't flinch. Later, LaBoeuf questions his ability to aim with one eye, and he's too drunk to demonstrate his skills properly. For most of the film, Rooster is portrayed as too old and fat, and too ravaged by alcoholism, to live up to his own fearsome reputation. In this scene, however, he shows himself capable of steering the reins with his teeth while riding at high speeds, and still wielding two guns accurately - a feat only a small number of people in the world could match today. Furthermore, he lands five direct hits with four shots. He misses once, kills two on the spot, fatally wounds his main target and the fourth retreats wounded. It's a display of gunfighting on a par with the wildest rumors about him, showing that, however much of a failure he is as a husband, father, soldier and lawman, he is indeed a fighter of true grit. Rooster similarly lacks respect for LaBeouf, laughing at him when he claims to have once nearly caught their original quarry while pursuing him on horseback. LaBeouf describes having attempted to shoot him from a great distance, electing to shoot while moving rather than while properly grounded. Roster mocks him, saying that he "couldn't hit at man (at the distance described) if he were (grounded) on the Rock of Gibralter." In this scene, LaBeouf doesn't interfere with the gunfight because he has little chance of hitting moving targets from such a distance. When Rooster is in danger, however, he's forced to attempt a shot from a greater distance than in his earlier claims - the camera even highlights that with the weaponry of the time, he has to make the shot without a scope of any kind, using only the barrel of the gun as a visual aid. By landing such a miraculous shoot, LaBoeuf saves Rooster's life while also validating his identity as a marksman. The upbeat melody that plays during the gunfight gives way to a sad, meek little reprisal of "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," as he takes aim. It's an old gospel tune, played mostly in sad scenes portraying the hardship of various characters, perhaps suggesting the absence of a merciful god. In this scene, just once, the two characters live up to their bravado and things work out.

As much as I love the John Wayne version, this one had something the other never did. John Wayne as rooster cogburn is a tough guy who like to drink and occasionally he falls off his horse and gets silly. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn is a pathetic burned out drunk loser who failed at every thing in life most men are able to do but when he has to draw a weapon, he’s damn near legendary and able to kill almost anyone even when he’s outnumbered. Even with one eye, fat and drunk he’s a warrior through and through. But sadly that’s all he is and when left to his own devices, he crumbles and self destructs. The two are a fascinating study into how people look at Cogburn. Even better is how people think a man like him would be when you consider his past as a marauder for the confederacy, a bank robber and outlaw. In both versions he had a failed marriage, failed to become anything and sleeps in the back of a Chinese grocery store working as a marshal. Yet in one he’s a tough guy that’s just quarky and charming. The other a drunken loser. One has a swagger when he talks and the other mumbles his words. That’s why the ending fight seems so amazing in the newer one versus the older one it feels a little more “well of course he could take four guys at once in a gun fight.” The newer one we never really see Cogburn so much to show he’s as good as he says he is beyond the cabin and bushwack scenes which one could chalk up to luck and firing from cover. Then out of nowhere this pathetic shell of a man draws his navy colts and takes on the ned pepper gang, kills two, fatally wounds Ned and scared off the last one on his own. One fight was an extraordinary man doing an extraordinary act while the other was a broken man doing something extraordinary.

A good analysis. Both films of their time, that's for sure. I get the feeling that people will look back on the remake as a 'let's look at the broken and fractured body of our culture and see what's worth saving' kind of moment. Though weirdly, think people might've had the same feeling about the John Wayne version, despite his Rooster being slightly less broken.

Great scene. The way Labeuf lines up his shot and that breathing was a perfect representation of sharp shooting. And the surprise look was even better. For the time, that shot would have been considered exceptionally good, and even today with open sights it's no small feat to say the least. I enjoyed this movie, and it's previous version equally, but this scene was far superior to the original just for these little things. The fact that in the old one he was standing and seemed to just squeeze off a shot versus here he is prone, and taking his time like a good marksman is supposed to do. And it helps that Damon had the look of a man who was determined to make the shot count but was also so scared he'd miss because of his first miss with Chelmsford, he even seems to say a quiet prayer before the shot. Beautifully directed, acted and shot. A great great movie.

I realize I cannot prove it here, but I have a brother who competes with those guns. Regularly comes in among the top 20 of 700 shooters. They compete at 700, 800, and 1000...and no, he isn't an average shooter by any means. His eyes see 20/10. That said, on a calm day at 400, with a load that hits to the ladder right's yardage marks... I could probably do it 2 out of 3. One real issue is the lock time of the Sharps rifle. It is glacially slow. There is a good reason that the Sharps was well represented among buffalo hunters, but the Remington-ballard, Ballard, and Browning guns were popular among competitors.

They also frequently LIED about belonging to other “friendly tribes” in order to get the drop on military bands, and traders. The Comanche could fire arrows with unparalleled accuracy, ride as effectively as the Mongolian horseman, and “guns” at the time were generally single shot Arkansas rifles. Guns so pitiful they often weren’t capable of penetrating the thick buffalo hide shields the Comanche carried. The Americans also lacked the manpower in the west to employ the typical European method of combat (which is to say, using their own men as literal cannon fodder).

Beautifully put! It is a fantastic scene. I'm an amateur screenwriter (sadly not proffesional yet) I wrote a short western story in December which follows an aging Sheriff set to retire at the end of the week. Fait however has other plans, when the town is raided by a known outlaw gang and wait for him outside his office. His granddaughter (also in office) pleads with him to escape with her around back, but he explains he doesn't want his future dying in an armchair, he's a man who lives for purpose so steps out to face the gang. The gang leader knows of his legendary status as a lawman and gives him the option to turn a blind eye and let them continue their business. He refuses as he doesn't want to go out a coward, so instead he puts up his guns one last time and by the end of the gunfight everyone collapses in a pool of their own blood (including the Sheriff) his tombstone reads; a man who defended his town until his very last breath.

[@concordetconstabulary219]

Silver Star oh no my friend. He rode by the light of the moon under bloody bill Anderson. Rooster was a stone cold marauder. He rode with the James gang. You can tell because the two pistols, a backup revolver and a rifle were their signature weapons during the war. They were raiders who killed women and children. Monsters every last one of them. If such a man as rooster really lived who rode with them, he would indeed never see a sober day for the rest of his life. He would be the equivalent of a brown shirt during the 3rd Reich. Or ANTIFA now days. A pitiless, violent, and sociopathic man.

[@douglasturner6153]

Concordat you have a serious gap in historical knowledge. The Southern guerillas like Quantrills men had a certain chivalrous attitude toward women. They never harmed them even when they killed the husbands. One of the main causes of their revenge on Unionists was because the Yankees often accosted or harmed their women. And looted the farms leaving the women destitute. The Lawrence Kansas raid is a good example. The northerners had taken several female relatives of southern men to Kansas City and locked them up. The building collapsed killing several and injuring more. That incident was the immediate motivation to go to Lawrence and get revenge. They were on a killing raid shooting down all the adult men they could lay their hands on. They killed 150 or so but left the women alone. The women knew they wouldn't be harmed and many tried to block Quantrills men. These are well documented facts. I understand you want to slam the southerners but I suggest you need to research the facts and not accuse them falsely of things they didn't actually do.

I don't think either the original or the remake perfectly adapt this scene, but I'd say this adaption takes the cake. In the original the scene's staging ground for the gun fight feels so tiny, and there's little sense of geography, or how far LaBeouf is from Rooster at the critical moment where a shot must be made, making the moment less tense and climactic. But here the cinematography really comes into play, as we get a perfect idea before the shooting starts where everyone is staged, and most crucially, just how ridiculously far LaBeouf is from Rooster and how lucky he'll have to be to make any shots stick. The added drama of the perspective really sells the dire nature of the scene, especially since in this version Rooster doesn't really have a moment to react, and is instantly on the end of Ned's gunpoint whereas the original has Rooster awkwardly trying to reach for a gun that he could totally reach, another thing that lets the scene down. Bridge's Rooster sort of just accepts his fate, and lets it fall to greater hands than his, making his rescue that much more powerful. And all the actors are better, so there's also that.

He never would have put himself in that position if not for Mattie. He also wouldn't have cared if he died if not for her. This scene is built up to so well. The whole final act is, really. Narrative payoff after narrative payoff. It all comes together so nicely. Romantic (classical definition), tragic, and heartwarming. They spent a lot of time humanizing Mattie, Rooster, and Labouef, and it makes it so when Rooster throws himself headfirst at Lucky Ned and his gang, it really feels like he's in danger and could be taken out by one well-placed, or even stray, shot. Also, note how at the end of his life, Rooster thought of Mattie. The man never had anything else in his sad, gritty life, but when he knew his time was almost up, he thought of her. She was the only thing that ultimately gave his life meaning, even if he could never find a way to express it, or convey it properly. And the script never even addresses this directly, it's just inferred. This means that it allows for infinte answers as to what their final conversation would have entailed. I love that Mattie just sums up her time with Rooster by echoing the showrunner's reverence, "We had lively times." I love this movie. I can confidently say it is my favorite.

[@peoplez129]

Even more so, he probably wouldn't have been successful without Mattie. She was basically just the right degree of chaos to the entire outing that allowed them to find all those outlaws and take them down. Without her finding Tom at the river, Rooster probably would have never found them if he was alone the whole time. Without her being taken hostage, Tom would have never been left behind with her, which means even if Rooster did find them, even if he had LaBeouf with him, it would have been at least 5 on 2 if they ran into them, and would have likely ran into them in less favorable circumstances. They probably would have ran into them in the shack house, and they would have essentially been trapped in there while Ned and his men rode up, and would have probably been gunned down. So if Mattie had never came along, Rooster and LaBeouf would likely be dead.

I love how even Lebeaf cant believe he made that shot. 400 yards at least with a 300 grain bullet from a 20 inch barrel and a head shot to boot. Anyone who’s ever fired a modern rifle with open sights can attest to how hard a shot that is to make unless you have a perfectly zeroed scope and a hot loaded 30 caliber cartridge.
