Review of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) by William W — 14 Jan 2016

I had heard great things about this film, decided to see it, and was.

Not disappointed. What had taken me so long was never having seen.

Anything from Dominik before, and a difficulty with both Westerns in.

General and in taking Brad Pitt's acting seriously, although the allure.

And the mystique of the Jesse James mythology was certainly enough of a.

Pull for me to eventually give this film a chance, and I was certainly.

Glad in retrospect that I had the courage to watch it. I cannot.

Overemphasize how great was the cast, the music, the direction, and the.

Cinematography. Specifically I would recommend the film to those who.

Like me would nary the thought of watching either a Western or a Brad.

Pitt-featured film. More films have to be made, not of action and.

Special effects but, like TAOJJBTCRF, that get into the hearts, minds,.

And souls--the humanity, if you will--of the people with the holsters,.

Guns and horses. Many kudos to Dominik, and I actively look forward to.

Seeing more of his work in future.
