An American Legend Well Done

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2010)

This film is by far one of the best portrayals of a real American icon. Such beautiful acting and cinematography can't be topped for a film of this genre. Countless other films based on historical figures always romanticize their stories making it extremely biased and oftenly provides many inaccurate details. Lets face it, we can never tell a story exactly the way it actually happened and many also fail in capturing our interest through out the entire film. However, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford feels so true to life because is so in touch within our humanity and accurately shows light and darkness within ourselves. You are being reminded that people like Jesse James and Robert Ford are not heroes or villains, they are just human. This film is extremely powerful and I highly recommend it for those who wish to see a true masterpiece.
