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 plot is too slow

    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. =_=)

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.
