Satra rooster soup will not spoil It’s a simple, traditional western, a sequel to 1969’s True Grit with John Wayne. About “True Courage” and “Iron Arm” of the Coens, which grew out of the same book by Charles Portis, I will write one more time – this “confrontation” deserves it. But “Ruster Cogburn” for a deep review, alas, does not pull. Sheriff Cogburn, nicknamed Kochet or Rooster, has aged completely, although he has retained his vigor, iron liver and the habit of delivering bandos to court exclusively dead. He is kicked out of work for being too quick to handle a sea colt, but immediately returned, as a certain gang has seized a load of explosives and plans to rob a bank, and there is no one to stop them. Their bandos also attacked a mission, killing a priest and a bunch of Indians. The daughter of the priest (four-time Oscar-winning Catherine Hepburn) demands that Cogburn punish the bandits and impose on him as fellow travelers (hello from Matty Ross). However, unlike Matty, this daughter is already an elderly pious aunt with steel testicles, dressed in the armor of faith. The company is a young Indian named Wolf, who dreams of becoming a sheriff. Well, then uncomplicated adventures and shootouts, the struggle of the characters of the old alcoholic shooter and aunt with solid moral foundations. The second and third bottoms, like Matty Ross, are not there, the characters are simple and understandable. Of the minuses – Cochet Cogburn performed by the aged Wayne finally became a comic character, so the narrative is as easy as possible. But in general, as a sample of the decline of the genre before its reincarnation in the form of a neo-Western, it is quite decent and the fact that it was shot already in 1975 is rather surprising. By all indications, it corresponds more to the paintings of the second golden age of the western 50-60s, if not the 40s.
