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

  • Robert Ford: They gave me ten days.

    Charley Ford: For what?

    Robert Ford: Arresting him.

    Charley Ford: You and me, huh?

    Robert Ford: It's going to happen one way or another. It's going to happen, Charley, and it might as well be us who get rich on it.

    Charley Ford: Bob, he's our friend.

    Robert Ford: He murdered Ed Miller. He's going to murder Liddil and Cummins if the chance ever comes. Seems to me Jesse's riding from man to man, saying goodbye to the gang. Your friendship could put you under the pansies.

    Charley Ford: I'll grind it fine in my mind, Bob. I can't go any further than that, right now.

    Robert Ford: You'll come around.

    Charley Ford: You think it's all made up, don't you? You think it's all yarns and newspaper stories.

    Robert Ford: He's just a human being.

  • Governor Crittenden: Jesse James sent me a telegram last month, saying he was going to kill me if he had to wreck a train to do it. He said that once I was in his hands he was going to cut my heart out and eat it in strips like it was bacon.

    [pause]

    Governor Crittenden: I'm going to wreck his train first.

    Robert Ford: [Bob scoffs, Crittenden glares at him] I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I was thinking of something else.

    Governor Crittenden: Jesse James is nothing more than a public outlaw who's made his reputation by stealing whatever he could and by killing whoever got in his way. You'll hear some fools say he's getting back at Republicans and Union men for wrongs his family suffered during the war, but his victims have scarcely ever been selected with reference to their political views. I'm saying his sins will soon find him out. I'm saying his cup of iniquity is full. I'm saying Jesse James is a desperate case and may require a desperate remedy.
