Frankly, I never saw much difference between the Hathaway and the Coen. Clearly, the new could not have existed without the older. The Coens follow the 1969 scene by scene. Many scenes, viz., the father’s death, Mattie trading with Stonehill, crossing the river on Little Blackie, Rooster’s story about his marriage and son, taking the two outlaws at the cabin, Mattie meeting Chaney at the river, the shootout with Lucky Ned Pepper and his gang, are virtually shot-for-shot lifted directly from 1969.
I am beginning to suspect a drop in the Coens’ inspiration and creativity, especially since they have embarked on two remakes of superior films (the other being “The Ladykillers”) that, in my estimation, my not-so humble opinion, did not succeed in bringing anything new or enlightening.
