    I've hardly watched many Jeff Bridges films, but I think he did a decent enough job as Rooster Cogburn. I didn't like that he was a lot of the time inaudible. His rough talk seemed force, but his performance was convincing.
    I found Bridges to be quite audible and i'm a guy with hearing loss! I will say that I loved the story arc of Rooster Cogburn especially that scene where he tries to prove he still has what it takes to do his job. That was a bit heart wrenching in a way but very key.

    I dunno, she's a very cute little girl but even "plained up" you could see her beauty through her eyes. That's one thing I really noticed with her is that she used her eyes as much or more than anything else. That's a rare gift in acting and the truly great actors are the ones that do it. Like CMH I hope she doesn't get bad advice from other actors or take on atrocious roles.

        That's acting. Eyes. Every acting teacher worth their pay is going to tell you that you act with your eyes. She's got that down. I was in awe just looking at her eyes during emotional moments.

        The girl never smiled, never frowned, never scowled. Yet, you can tell when she was happy, sad or upset. The eyes.

        I'm glad you brought it up. I was close to talking about it but I honestly thought most people wouldn't even pay attention to the comment.
