Abstract
- The article discusses the film "True Grit," starring Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld, directed by Ethan Coen and Joel Coen, in comparison to John Ford's film "The Searchers" and Henry Hathaway's 1969 version of "True Grit" starring John Wayne. The author explores Christian aspects of these films and notes how the characters reflect American ideals while showing that these same ideals are often flawed.
