True Grit.

Saw True Grit again the other day. That movie only gets better the more you see it. I don't think there could have been anyone better suited to play the pompous Texas Ranger, LaBoeuf than Matt Damon

What do you mean figure out the dialogue?

At the beginning of the movie, everyone talks pretty much how you'd expect people in a western to talk. Mattie speaking a good deal smarter than the rest, because she's a smarty-pants like that. But as the movie progresses, the way people speak changes. The most notable way is that they stop using contractions. I just wonder if there is some meaning behind this.

They never used contractions.

I think you just notice the do not's and can not's more because the rest of the speech becomes less proper.

Your like the 3rd friend who has recomended this movie. I will have to see it, if nothing else as a free movie with my dad since he likes westerns.

Something tells me following the movie would be a Red Dead Redemption marathon on the 360....
