elegant and handsome

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin leaked in an interview that he still has a brood on his wife's ex-boyfriend is Brad Pitt. I watched The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford at home two days ago, and I think I can understand that feeling. In this film, he plays the image of Jesse James, who has been interpreted countless times, showing his ruthless, melancholy, suspicious, neurotic, mood swings, and parent-child love in family life. Romanticized, but at the end he gets killed, with a calm demeanor that's cool enough to rival Alain Delon in le samurai. If I were the lead singer of that band, I would feel insecure too. In fact, in addition to the main actors, the other actors have very good performances. Thanks also to the director's succinct direction. There are many occasions in the film that the surface is silent, but the tension is on the verge of being stabbed at the bottom, and everything is silent. Few strokes of sister-in-law's flirting with Dick in the toilet, gracefully outline the image of a coquettish little woman.
This is a very elegant and beautiful film. My colleagues liked the picture of the film. When I saw it, I was really fascinated by the photography. The use of light and shadow, the composition and framing of the scene took a lot of thought, such as the beginning of the big train robbery. , the steam of the train and the strong spotlights on the front of the locomotive, the shadows of the forest cast on the masked thief, how many interesting and memorable images can be produced by the combination of these elements. I vaguely feel that the shot of the steam locomotive is a little tribute to the train's approaching station. (maybe)
Western movies originally seemed to be a bit outdated genre. Recently, there seems to be a revival momentum. There have been many excellent productions, and they have made a great appearance at the Oscars. The main line, which leads to other types and themes of works, in this sense, this genre has always been endless. Personally, I feel that modern westerns have abandoned or weakened the heroism of the past, and more recently focused on the depth of character, loneliness, vulnerability, and even existentialism. The story of Jesse James is like 'che', which has penetrated into the West. the level of pop culture. This film tells this well-known story, the story changes, the focus is on the other side, and it is inserted into the current celebrity culture, the 15 minutes of fame of an unknown person, and the feeling of sadness.
Finally, to mention the score, Nick Cave and Warren Wallis are a perfect match for this film, and at the end I make a guest appearance as a hotel tramp singer, singing Ballad of Jesse James.

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.
