    The title and length of the film are quite long, but I definitely don't feel bored after watching it, and I really like the photography and soundtrack with double images! Casey Affleck's role is really good for the complex emotional display of childhood idols (it seems, of course, that Pitt has won the best actor in Venice). Literary Westerns (actually I watch very few Westerns), very good~ (Some people say they are basic friends....

    2016.5.15 Three brushes. The music for the photography is amazing, and once I watch it, I kneel down for Kathy.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford quotes

  • Jesse James: You know I'm real comfortable with your brother. Hell, he's ugly as sin and he smells like a skunk and he's so ignorant he couldn't drive nails in the snow, but he's sort of easy to be around. I can't say the same for you, Bob.

    Robert Ford: I'm sorry to hear you say that.

    Jesse James: [pause] You know how it is when you're with your girlfriend and the moon is out and you know she wants to be kissed even though she never said so?

    Robert Ford: Yeah.

    Jesse James: You're giving me signs that grieve my soul and make me wonder if maybe your mind's been changed about me.

    Robert Ford: What do you want me to do? Swear my good faith on the Bible?

  • Jesse James: [motioning to Bob] Sit over here closer, Kid.

    [begins massaging Bob's neck]

    Jesse James: Charley, you'll stay with the animals. Me and The Kid will walk into the bank just before noon. Bob will move the cashier away from the shotgun that's under the counter and I'll creep up behind that cashier and cock his chin back like so...

    [snaps Bob's head back, sticks a knife to his throat]

    Jesse James: I'll say 'How come an off-scouring of creation like you is still sucking air when so many of mine are in coffins?' I'll say 'How'd you reach your twentieth birthday without leaking out all over your clothes?' And if I don't like his attitude, I'll slit that phildoodle so deep he'll flop on the floor like a fish.

    [Jesse let's Bob go, begins to laugh hysterically]

    Jesse James: My God, what just happened? I could hear your gears grinding- rrr,rrr,rrr-and your little motor wondering, 'My Gosh, what's next, what's happening to me?' You were precious to behold, Bob. You were white as spit in a cotton field!
