I think the John Wayne version requires an appreciation for the western as a movie genre whereas the Coen Brothers made a movie for all.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-85212692276502900542012-12-06T13:16:22.221+08:002012-12-06T13:16:22.221+08:00You mean both the John Wayne film and the Coen Bro...You mean both the John Wayne film and the Coen Brothers film?
