True Grit: Difference between revisions

* [[Wise Beyond Her Years]]: Mattie, incredibly smart, stern and determined for her age. [[Justified Trope|Makes sense]] because of all she's been through and her previous responsibilities. Yet the 2010 adaptation's dark tone at the end is a [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruction of this]]- her insistence on getting her way, even through intimidation, may have been cute when she was a child but these traits did not serve her well during her adult years.

* [[You Make Me Sic]]: Mattie continually points out Rooster's misspellings - even a quarter-century later!
