Dude, I don't understand a word you wrote but True Grit shared a lot of similarities with Unforgiven. Heck, in the middle of Unforgiven, I was like jeez, Eastwood copied the hell outta True Grit. The theme of both westerns are based on revenge. Unforgiven is of somber ambience though, whilst True Grit is more lighthearted. At the end of each, the bad guys got theirs, but no one went away really happy.

PS: I meant the original True Grit. not the 2010 remake.

with John Wayne great movie but there is no copying. Western is a genre so the plots and characters may be similar but
change Love peddler to prostitute. then change bleep to Fword.
[quote author=KoiceReloaded post=80250393]What I am saying is in Unforgiven
Damsel in distress= prostitute, liars,
Sheriff= torturer, doesn't care about his citizens
Hero/Bounty hunter= murderer, criminal, even cowards
quest/vengeance = overhyped (kill a man for what)
storyteller/newspaper man= liar, unloyal
Villain = dumb kid
Killing/bounty hunting/ gun-slinging= not fun, bad
crime= is it worth the ultimate Price
Check all the western archetypes he deconstructed them
Eastwood didn't want to be the western guy anymore, he wanted to be taken seriously as an actor. so he made the anti western saying this things we cheer for is a lie

Alright tnx for the heads up, i apprentice.

No prob, NL don censor some words
check Eastwood's face when he sees the girl

mekaprime:
I haven't seen True Grit, since they're similar, I think I'll pick one of 'em, gracias.

True grit and Unforgiven are not the same.
True grit- a girl hires the bounty hunter to kill her father's killer.
Unforgiven- A LovePeddler laugh at a clients small dick, he cuts a scar on her face. when her fellow whores felt the love-vendor and sheriff did not do enough, that they treat women like property. they put a bounty on the offender's head. all the bounty hunters come for the money telling themselves they are going to kill a bad person because of exaggerated information about what the boy did to the LovePeddler.
The sheriff even if he is a bad is just trying to stop the killers which is his job.
the film is saying Bleep you to other westerns.

this idea is great, they have platforms for like minded people all over the world why can't we have one for filmmaking here to meet others, share ideas, ask for & offer assistance & resources. pls create a room WhatsApp group for this. I am not a very social person so I can't do it.

No body is asking for war..a national cry for restructuring..is it tooo much to ask? are we slave to the Hausa/Fulni's? that unless they agree to a policy that is the only reason it must be implemented, if not then the rest of the country can go to hell and burn? are we saying we Nigerians do no have a say in the injustice, and marginalization committed in the land?..why you sit there are talk as if all is well with Nigeria..maybe the day a Fulani head man touches a member of your family and is allows to live at large with blood in his hand then you will feel the pinch of the injustice we have been talking about...I am tired of this present Nigeria..we need to restructure but our government seems to be deafened to our plea..why should the north threaten the Igbos and go Scot free but other innocent supporters of IPOB/MASSOB were quickly killed by our security officers for just carrying out a peaceful protest...don't you think something is wrong this this country, where a group of ethnic nationality is seen as first class citizens; who can kill at will and carry arms unchallenged but cannot be applied to others that do not belong to that ethnic group..if you are an Hausa/Fulani..please hold your peace but if you are not then open your eyes.Nigeria must restructure and if the north refuse then then i think there are more peaceful ways to separate from this bondage we find ourselves. But we must continue to make our voice heard and give our politician sleepiness night though through a peaceful and civil manner until they hear our cry.I am from the south south but i am seek and tired of our cowardice.

oga I be Yoruba, I have seen what Fulani/ Hausa herdsmen fit do so don't tell me that, asking for change is diff from spreading hate about other tribes and asking for genocide, read what I wrote well I am saying violence begets violence. u just prove my point by saying part of what I said but questioning my integrity because i said your way is not the only way. i said fight the elitist government stop alienating yoruba we fit help.if we no get the same skin colour all this hate speech na racism.
BTW am not sure its true but I hear say Yoruba lawyers help release Saro wiwa
& even Nk when all some Igbo people threat no do anything.

dis guy asked a good question if u no get answer why not read others & learn instead of spreading hate

[quote author=mkoabiola post=59101022]Am wondering why the so called ipob leader,Nnamdi KANU has not be rearrested respited flaunting one of d bail condition,
As one of the bail condition ,he was told by the court not to be seen in a gathering of more than 10 people but as of today,he is addressing crowd and making hate speeches.
When will he be rearrested to douse the tension in the country especially the south east.

Nigeria has a problem called tribalism, almost 57yrs of independence & only a few citizens can actually be referred to as a true Nigerian the rest of us owe our allegiances to our respective tribes. That's why we have this policy of a politician from diff tribe/region for our presidency every regime even if the candidate is an unqualified, unhealthy or corrupt all that matters is his tribe, granted all our politicians care only about themselves. I get this nation should never have been created but come on after 57yrs and buttload of energy and money spent on education. Tribalism is our HIV and every other problem is the AIDS. Let's learn from France, yes France is a multinational state like ours. We can either separate or truly unite anyone of this 2 is not better than the other but we must decide.
FYI 'm Yoruba but I support succession.
SE and Biafra people d Nigerian govt not people is the problem we all all suffering although SE more than others. Nnamdi Kanu is a bigot who incites violence online his rants will not win you friends local or international. its 2017 use d international community and judicial system as your weapon. for those who still want war FYI read your history humanity repeats everything, we have done this before it was horrible. the British thought WW2 would be quick, we will be home for Xmas was the slogan. 6yrs and tens of millions dead. check on Syria, with present technology in warfare.
Note: not conflict can only be resolved through war.
