Haha, Man that movie was so meh if i you watch it once. Its one of those movies that get better after you watch it more and more.

Well I liked it alot, the dialogue was great too as is usual with most Coen Brothers films, and my biggest problems with it were minor quibbles I'd get annoyed by anytime I watched it. The other part is how I'm not usually fond of westerns... then again I didn't like Burn After Reading the first time I watched it because I didn't 'get it' until thinking about it later, so we'll see.

the big issue i have with westerns is that everybody either mumbles or talks in a way i don't understand. the cohen brothers seemed to follow this stereotype a bit too much, so i couldn't get into it as much as i wanted to.

cinematography was top notch. they did a great job harkening back to the days of country westerns. makes me feel like doc brown

don't forget about the guy who made random animal noises :)

ahh yes, how could i forget

Jeff Bridges is really the star of this movie to me. Even if you can't understand half the things he says. But to me that just adds to the weird charm his old drunk and half crazy character had. I also like the main female lead, they did a very good job in the beginning setting her up as a strong independent young woman, and later when they showed us her without her innocence as a stoic and bitter old woman. Also the strange Cohen Brothers humor is still present in this movie with the in little moments like the undertaker and the guy in the bear skins. Matt Damon served his purpose but was really overshadowed by Bridges. Overall this was just a very enjoyable movie to me.

The Coen Brothers make it seem like it's so easy to create a movie, and this one is no exception. I loved everything about this film, and both Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon were outstanding in their performances. This is truly a masterpiece Western movie.

Except for the green screen at the end right? :P

BECAUSE they've had so many great transitions and long shots and everything else great about their movies that still pulled me out of it :P

Green screen? >.>

Where Rooster was riding the horse to death with the girl? :o

Oh, I didn't really think about that. :p
Though going on what you said about that scene, I thought it was an important part of the character development for Bridge's character, just to show how far he'd go to ensure her survival even if he's under contract. Just my opinion of course. :p

If he cared about her that much, why didn't he ever try to see her again until later with the implication that he was sick of her or something? >.<

I feel about the same way.. there were good parts and bad parts but overall, I'm glad I watched it, but I'm not sure I'd need to ever watch it again. I do find it odd that they went so far out of their way to develop this bond between the three of them, only to NEVER have them see each other again, but in Victorian society, it would have been severely frowned upon, I suppose, for two old guys to be hanging out with a young girl. But then again, by the time she got back TO society, she would have been considered ruined, anyway, after being alone unchaperoned in the company of men, and the physical loss she suffered.
