Yeah, when they made Tombstone and Silverado, the return of the big western with great score and Open Range, I thought we were going to see more great westerns return but instead we got The Hateful Eight and I am not a "Too Talkative" Tarantino fan. He doesn't need guns, his actors talk the other guys to death.Westerns? You name it, I gotta watch it.

You are soooooo easyI'm not a big Tarantino fan either but it's a Western so......
McClintock!Where da whiskey
Because the film was authentic in that modern-day contractions are avoided. They don't say " I'll shot you cause you need killing." Instead, "I will shoot you because it is necessary."Wow. How can you watch the remake without thinking throughout the whole movie, "What's with the aversion to contractions in this flick???"
I'd have to see evidence that contractions are a twentieth century creation, and even if that's the case, it's very distracting to be so aware that they're refusing to use them.Because the film was authentic in that modern-day contractions are avoided.

I recall the bad guy in "Eldorado" greeting the other bad guys with "Hi." That is not old west talk, that is bubblegum English, bloke.
Thank you. I think you were referred to in the modern "True Grit" as such: "She did not approve of my river friends."If I never had any other reason to ignore you this one takes care of that
Go to any correspondence, letters, business transactions from the 1800s, and you will see how people spoke. Even the lower classes spoke with a bit of stilted but correct language. In the U.S., that is. In me dear old England, the same, matey!I'd have to see evidence that contractions are a twentieth century creation, and even if that's the case, it's very distracting to be so aware that they're refusing to use them.
Just because people wrote without contractions doesn't mean they spoke that way, my friend. Think of the way many people speak today. Could you picture anyone writing that way?Go to any correspondence, letters, business transactions from the 1800s, and you will see how people spoke.

Still, any linguist or historian can tell you that the modern "True Grit," when viewed, was superior to any western as far as authenticity.Just because people wrote without contractions doesn't mean they spoke that way, my friend.

From a true literary mind. Well done.I like The Hateful Eight almost as much Pale Rider, although I know there are better Westerns that have been made. I just enjoy the heck out of them And then there's Six-String Samurai... Gorgeous.
ABQ, the modern "True Grit" and "3:10 to Yuma."Westerns? You name it, I gotta watch it.
