The Rooster (True Grit 2010)

Inspired by the Hat Crafted by Baron Hats for Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn in the Coen Brothers' "True Grit" Even though the character of Cogburn was, in the original story, only in his early 40's, both John Wayne and Jeff Bridges came to the role in their 60's. It seems prophetic that these two giant talents created the role in their glory years. Very much like an older Olivier finally doing "King Lear", perhaps 40's is a bit too young for this character who needs to show a great deal of dusty horse trails behind them, with perhaps one last great sunrise in his future. Whereas Wayne created a magnificent self-effacing homage to himself, Bridges, whose career warranted many more varied characters and wasn't saddled with being a National Treasure and a "Mount Rushmore" institution as Wayne was, could make the character more realistic. He even changed the side that he wears the trademark eye patch (in the original, Wayne wears his eye-patch on his left eye, and Bridges wears it on his right).
