And the point is?

Rating: 3/10 (13 February 2010)

I failed to see any point in this movie. It is certainly artistic with several Andrew Wyeth type scenes. But there are a plethora of characters who are interchangeable and look alike. There is a voice over that desperately tries to make this movie appear to be a serious undertaking. What we get for over 2 hours is a lot of style with a lot of postcard scenes. Was there any editing done in this movie at all? Or did everyone believe that this was an artistic masterpiece? It's mostly visual pretentiousness.
It's a very long movie and the seasons and the scenery change rapidly. There are scenes and dialogue that appear for appearance sake. In the end do we really care about Jesse James?
