This is my favorite movie. It is an American classic. There are many great characters, many great scenes, but the best is the meadow. The cinematography. The music. The dialogue. This is uniquely American, and Cogburn is a uniquely American hero. Cogburn meets four criminals in a dangerous situation. He is informed that Matty Ross is safe and the criminal Tom Cheney is captured. The bandit chieftain asks Cogburn to step aside. Cogburn, outnumbered 4 to 1, spits in the chieftains eye and charges the criminals guns blazing.
