or The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), a film I've seen and enjoyed these days.

Jesse Woodson James(1847-1882) was a famous train robber who continued to be notorious even after his death. Member of James-Younger gang, he ended up murdered by Robert Ford, who idolized Jesse James since childhood, but gradually became resentful of him.

Brad Pitt had a great performance, maybe he's best ever. The image is wonderful, I liked the edit very much, even if from time to time it felt boring, I don't know, maybe it was done on purpose like this. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis scored it. 160 minutes of worth-seeing film.

#Brad Pitt had a clause in his contract that the name of the movie was NOT to be changed.

The Great Train Robbery (1903) - a film by E.S. Porter which came out in Jesse James' glorious time.
