The story itself is very simple. A group of robbers voted to wash their hands after the last vote, but the police did not let go and hunted them down. In the end, the protagonist fell under suspicion and betrayal. But the movie is about much more than that. Jesse, the leader of the robbery gang, does not seem to be seen as a heinous crime. On the contrary, he is a hero in the eyes of a considerable range of civilians, from our Robert as an idol since he was a child. Can be seen. This may be related to the background of the American Civil War at that time. The people traumatized by the war need to set an example of a hero, a hero who is not bound by the power of the government. However, Jesse has participated in more than 20 robberies in the past 10 years, but he has been mysterious. With a keen sense of smell, the authorities are troubled and helpless, and such a figure can certainly be idolized (except for those who have been robbed). Our other protagonist, Robert, is a stupefied kid who wants to be famous. He begins to join Jesse's robbery gang with a cult mentality, but after just one addiction, he faces a life of escape, which is full of boredom, depression and Suspicion, and finally decided to sell Jesse out of fear of retaliation for shooting Jesse's cousin. Look at the finale, Jesse ended this breathless life with Robert's hand. What happens to Jesse after he dies? The corpse was paid to visit, and was later bought at a high price. The photo was bought for 2 dollars a piece, and the hut in front of him also attracted people to visit, which shows that his influence is too great. After our Robert successfully assassinated Jesse, he seems to have successfully entered the upper class of society. According to the assassination process, the stage play can be staged more than 800 times, but he has unexpectedly gained the name of a coward and a traitor. He is very uncomfortable with this. Reconciliation and disgust, for this many times and others. All he wanted was the respect and praise of others, but the result was completely the opposite. 10 years after the assassination, someone also assassinated Robert in revenge. What would he do after his death? nothing! This is probably what he didn't understand even when he died.
The same suspicion, the same unscrupulous survival, the same shooting in the back to kill friends, why the sharpshooter Jesse can be remembered as a hero, while Robert is a coward, a traitor, and a villain. You don't understand the audience's mind, Ronaldinho!
