Blog – Who is Rooster? What are your first impressions of him?

Rooster is one of the tough federal marshals. Maddie Ross wants to meet him because she wants to get help from him to find the killer of her father who is somewhere in the Indian Territory. He is well known for hunting down wanted criminals for the government to put them in jail and away from crime. Rooster seems to be a crazy man; he’s killed twenty-three people and captured many to bring them in. When we first see him in the movie Maddie is trying to get his attention after he unloads a wagon full o’ dem prisoners that’s he’s gathered from the Indian Territory. He has an eye patch and doesn’t look too intimidating. The first action we see him do is kick one of dem prisoners in the back as he is walking slow inside the jailhouse. We learn that Rooster Cogburn is a very dangerous man even though he doesn’t seem too intimidating. He gets the job done but apparently doesn’t do it clean. It is unclear how he takes care of some of his business but he seems to have been very successful at it because he has been sworn in to telling the truth in court since he’s done it so many times. I think that Rooster will help Maddie out but am not sure that he will actually find the killer since were reading about the ANTI hero, therefore he will not do something for the greater good.
