Excited about the most notorious outlaw

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2008)

THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY COWARD ROBERT FORD
This is a movie based on true story. The movie was made in 2007. The director is Andrew Dominik. Brad Pitt plays as Jesse James, and Casey Affleck plays as Robbert Ford.
Jesse James is the first person who is famous as a outlaw in the end of 19c in the U.S. He is called legend. He is not only a offender, but a hero. He lived by his own rule. He is a object of awe and admiration.
Robert Ford, who adores Jesse James joins Jesse James, the most notorious gang in the West. However, he is gradually afraid of Jesse James. He has two emotions, yearning and terror.
The film is based the novel by Ron Hansen. There are lots of books written and tales about Jesse James, but those never strike to the heart of him. The Assassination of Jesse James delves for the private of Jesse James and what may have happened in the months before the shooting.
In Japan, it didn't get into a news. However, I really like it! The actors are wonderful! Brad Pitt is so cool. Everyone must know it already but, honestly I was not interested in him so much before watching this movie. Now, I am crazy about him. He doesn't have much lines, but he plays faithfully as Jesse James who is a great presence. Moreover, Casey Afleck is also a great actor. He won lots of awards for a supporting actor. I was surprised that he was good to play as Robert Ford who had rip current. The movie is long, but it isn't boring. There aren't so much lines but I enjoy reading those characters' feelings. But, only bad thing is the Japanese title, "The Assassination of Jesse James." I think "By Coward Robert Ford" is also important part, because the fact that Robert Ford kills Jesse James is premise, so its highlight is what may have happened in the months before the shooting. I wanted to know its premise before watching the movie.
Anyway, the story is very interesting. You also had better know about the most notorious out law in the U.S. ever.
