True Grit Screen Report
Within in the movie True Grit there are many main parts of the story but when you watch the movie throughly one part that really stuck out to me is right away in the beginning when the girl is dealing with the salesman of the town about her fathers horse and the ponies. The girl shows her dominance to a man as soon as she walks into the room she states what she wants and how she wants it and as they deal with each other she actually gets more than what she stated the first time and uses her lawyer as a bargin chip to over power the salesman. She really makes her presence powerful in the movie right from the get go because of this scene. What this means to the movie is it shows that she will be a strong hold throught the film and also will make her known as more than just a little girl but as a confident strong young woman.

I also thought that this scene was an important one. We realize for the first time what type of person Mattie is and what she will to do avenge her father's death.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy that you show a scene that depicts basic gender roles being challenged. Most people would not expect a young woman to be so dominant. It shows how this movie sticks out.
