It takes patience to watch this movie

My score on imdb: 6 points.
This score is a bit low, and the movie currently has a score of over 8 on imdb. However, I believe that after a year and a half, its average score will definitely drop. After all, people say that without two or three years of precipitation, the reference value of the score on imdb is only 50%.

The reason why I gave such a score is because my feeling after watching this movie is: my own patience is really good, maybe people are more relaxed during the Spring Festival. I think the director and editor have a lot of responsibility. To put it bluntly, this movie really makes people feel. It is from the moment when Brad Pitt was shot, that is, the last 20 minutes of the plot, that people understand the meaning of the movie. Just like the water snake-like title The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
, the key word is a

plot before Coward. Is it necessary? Yes, absolutely! Without the foreshadowing of the first 2 hours, the later climax would not be the climax, but the problem is, the first 2 hours, I think it is a failure.
Two questions: First, the pace of the film is too slow and too long, is it necessary to drag it to 160 minutes? Couldn't the editing be more concise, and there are many scenes that could be shot closely; second, the drama needs conflict, a very important point for the film, why did Casey Affleck go from a brad pitt admirer to a killer? On this point, the film did not do enough articles on it, and why so many people sought after brad pitt after his death, the film did not write enough about it.
All in all, this movie could have been made a little better! The first 2 hours really tested the patience of the audience

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford quotes

  • [first lines]

    Narrator: He was growing into middle age, and was living then in a bungalow on Woodland Avenue. He installed himself in a rocking chair and smoked a cigar down in the evenings as his wife wiped her pink hands on an apron and reported happily on their two children. His children knew his legs, the sting of his mustache against their cheeks. They didn't know how their father made his living, or why they so often moved. They didn't even know their father's name. He was listed in the city directory as Thomas Howard. And he went everywhere unrecognized and lunched with Kansas City shopkeepers and merchants, calling himself a cattleman or a commodities investor, someone rich and leisured who had the common touch. He had two incompletely healed bullet holes in his chest and another in his thigh. He was missing the nub of his left middle finger and was cautious, lest that mutilation be seen. He also had a condition that was referred to as "granulated eyelids" and it caused him to blink more than usual as if he found creation slightly more than he could accept. Rooms seemed hotter when he was in them. Rains fell straighter. Clocks slowed. Sounds were amplified. He considered himself a Southern loyalist and guerrilla in a Civil War that never ended. He regretted neither his robberies, nor the seventeen murders that he laid claim to. He had seen another summer under in Kansas City, Missouri and on September 5th in the year 1881, he was thirty-four-years-old.

  • Narrator: And so it went, Jesse was increasingly cavalier. Merry, moody, fey, unpredictable. He camouflaged his depressions and derangements with masquerades of extreme cordiality, courtesy, and goodwill towards others. But Even as he jested or tickled his boy in the ribs, Jesse would look over at Bob with melancholy eyes as if the two were meshed in an intimate communication. Bob was certain that the man had unriddled him; had seen through his reasons for coming along; that Jesse could forecast each of Bob's possible moves and inclinations and was only acting the innocent in order to lull Bob into a stupid tranquility and miscalculation.
