A western starring Brad Pitt and young actor Kathy Affleck, it's a story about the ultimate disillusionment of one's unrealistic fantasies.

The movie is called Death of the Sharpshooter, and the sharpshooter is Jesse James, a real figure in American history who was active during the Civil War and belonged to the South at that time.

Jesse himself was actually a gangster and a robber, but in the eyes of many people at the time, he was a charismatic robber who robbed the rich to help the poor, a Robin Hood-like figure. Maybe it's because of his charisma, maybe it's political propaganda with a political purpose, or maybe it's a media stunt, but in any case, it's such a person who was finally betrayed by his little brother Robert Ford. .

Robert Ford actually admired Jesse a lot, but he ended up betraying Jesse. This may not be too difficult to understand, because human emotions are inherently wonderful and complex: adoration can turn into contempt for people, love can turn into disgust, love can turn into hate, hate can turn into hate Being in love - these complex and wonderful emotions of people are also shown in the movie.

The story of betrayal is so moving, I've heard people say it's a masterpiece, and yes, it's a masterpiece.

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.
