Abstract

As the essence of American films, western movies have complete and classical sound design schemes. Some routines are formed inevitably. The film True Grit was directed by Coen Brothers in 2010. It contradicts the conventional design of Western movies in many ways, showing distinct features from the character design, plot development to the arrangement of ending. In terms of sound design, the film is based on reality and constructs a distinctive style of sound in Western movies.
