The film is very long, and the performance of many shots is still very PP. It's a bit like an Oscar movie, but unfortunately the subject matter is too non-mainstream. The simple belief in heroism of the vast majority of working people in the central part of the United States may not be liked by many people in a crowded place like California.
The more classic scene is when the train is robbed for the first time in the film. In the middle of the night, everyone wore masks. The train zigzagged through the dark woods, the whistle blared, and the pale light swept across every face. The human figure under the mask, the perverted back, and his eyes are full of confusion.
Simply a modern version of Doomsday.
White light; thunderous roar; twisted human form; the paleness of the mask; the confused mind.
It's still very classic. A few seconds of eternity, eternity is a few seconds.
Then it's more fun. Once the lights are over, everyone will change their guns to their guns and their shouts.
natural greed.

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.
