???????

An outlaw. A legend. A man highly respected or hated. This man was Jesse James. In the movie The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford shows this in a thrilling way. I was interested in everything every character had to say, and what it meant to the story. It was like a thriller in a way because you never knew what was next or what someone was going to do. In certain instances, when the camera moves and you are quite shocked to see what is now in front of your eyes. Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck definitely show their amazing talent in front of the screen in this motion picture. You believe them playing the characters. Brad still amazes me with his talent, how every movie that I have seen he's terrific-- acting perfect for the part. Some roles however seem simple or less complex and it seems so easy for him. I didn't know much about Jesse James all I knew he was a 1880's version of Robin Hood. Jesse is known for stealing from the rich, giving to the poor; being the legend he is still known as today. Amazing, you have your eyes glued to the screen wondering what is going to happen next? What is Jesse gonna do? There is an air of mystery in this film that is undeniable, while dying to know if you have right or wrong accusations about what is happening next. This movie has been nominated and won various awards for the acting, cimenatography, musical score and they all truly deserve them. This movie was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waited a while before seeing this movie, well worth the wait.
