This never happens but 10 out of the last 12 movies I’ve seen have been incredible. Here's one of them...
6 Reasons I Loved it:
1. An Unbeatable Duo: There are two, and only two, great things that have come from the state of Missouri: Jesse James and Brad Pitt (don’t anybody try and suggest Wal Mart as the third). Both are in the film.
2. Cinematography: Every shot was a masterpiece of composition, color and originality.
3. My Nomination for Best Supporting Role: One of the best performances I have seen by Casey Affleck, yeah that’s right the Mormon twin in Oceans 11, but true story he was awesome in this film.
4. Jesse James Obsession: Since I saw the old black and white film “Jesse James,” J. James has become one of my favorite American historical figures. It’s strange I realize. Most people think it’s odd in the same way they think it’s odd I find Malcolm X an American Hero. I’m not alone in my infatuation with this thief/ murderer. He stole from banks and trains and was thought to have murderer 15 people but still America loves Jesses James. He’s become apart of American folklore. And Henry Ford has become a great American Coward.
5. Everybody loves Robin Hood: Though Jesse was pretty shady he became a Robin Hood figure. I love Robin Hood and I love vigilantes, especially the wild and crazy western cowboy.
6. Hero’s: Jesse James seems to resurface over and over again in films and books. I think the Jesse James character is what America is missing. We need an American hero. America was once a country of giants now it seems to be made up of cowards.
It was incredible. I wouldn’t recommend it to everybody. It’s dark and violent. And there are no clear heroes and villains. Maybe some people wouldn’t like it, but I loved it.
