The greatness of life, the glory of death

Some people's death is "death to the body and the name", and some people are more famous after death.
The title is actually inaccurate, the sharpshooter is not great, but notorious. For the sharpshooter, who once killed and robbed, he was a complete gangster. According to this logic, if Bob killed him, he was considered a hero. He had done many sensational things in his life, and I am afraid that his death had no greater impact. More people have seen his posthumous photos than people who know the president, and Bob just died silently, like a mustard.
What are the conditions for being famous? Or where does the honor come from? I think it should be to do some things that ordinary people can't do and reach heights that are creative rather than destructive. And Bob destroyed heroism in people's hearts.

    This is the best western film since "Unforgivable" and also the best art film in recent years. Long live!

    A very poetic movie, you need to calm down and savor it carefully. Nick Cave's soundtrack is full of a strong sense of fatalism, and the inexplicable sadness seems to have the power to penetrate the bone marrow.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford quotes

  • Frank James: You're not so special, Mr. Ford. You're just like any other tyro who's prinked himself up for an escapade, hoping to be a gunslinger like them nickel books are about. You may as well quench your mind of it, because you don't have the ingredients, son.

    Robert Ford: Well, I'm sorry to hear you feel that way, as I put such stock in your opinion. As for me being a gunslinger, I've just got this one granddaddy Paterson Colt and a borrowed belt to stick it in. But I also got an appetite for greater things. I hoped by joining up with you, it'd put me that much closer to getting them.

    Frank James: Well, what am I supposed to say to that?

    Robert Ford: Let me be your sidekick tonight.

    Frank James: Sidekick?

    Robert Ford: So you can examine my grit and intelligence.

    Frank James: I don't know what it is about you, but the more you talk, the more you give me the willies. Now I don't believe I want you anywhere within earshot this evening, okay? You understand?

    Robert Ford: Well, I'm sorry...

    Frank James: Why don't you just get, now? Scat!

  • Jesse James: [Bob walks in on Jesse in the bath] Go away.

    Robert Ford: Used to be nobody could sneak up on Jesse James.

    Jesse James: Now you think otherwise?

    Robert Ford: I ain't never seen you without your guns, neither.

    [Jesse removes a towel, revealing his gun]

    Jesse James: [pause] Can't figure it out: do you want to be like me or do you want to BE me?

    Robert Ford: [defeated] I'm just making fun is all.
