re: #295 Killgore Trout

I just watched the remake of True Grit. Is there an implied sexual relationship between the girl and LeBoeuf? Was there one in the original movie? A lot of those old westerns had some stuff that seems really odd today. Clint Eastwood raped a chick in a barn in one film (Fist Full of Dollars?) and she loved him for it.

Rape was pretty much considered an acceptable way of winning a woman’s heart in American cinema until about 1978.

Sad but true.
