The drama of life - heroes fall at the hands of cowards

The original purpose of watching this movie was simply because it was starring Brad Pitt. However, watching the entire film was a huge hit for me. Everyone has a hero in their hearts, and Jesse James was the hero in the hearts of the people of the American South at that time. I've always been reluctant to accept the ending of the film. I'd much rather believe the surviving rumors of Jesse James. But sometimes life is so dramatic, just like another film "Troy" starred in Brad Pitt, the hero eventually falls into the hands of cowards... There are too many coincidences in ancient and modern times, and maybe there is no such thing in the world. Coincidentally, it was fate.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford quotes
-
Jesse James: Don't tell me what I can and can not do, Ed.
-
Ed Miller: I was with a girl once. Wasn't a squaw, but she was purty. She had yellow hair, like uh... oh, like something.
Dick Liddil: Like hair bobbed from a ray of sunlight?
Ed Miller: Yeah, yeah. Like that. Boy, you talk good.
Dick Liddil: You can hide things in vocabulary.
Ed Miller: Maybe you and me could writer her a note, send it by post?
Dick Liddil: See, all you gotta do, Ed, is predict her needs and beat her to the punch.
Ed Miller: Well, this girl, she had a real specific job.
Dick Liddil: Specific?
Ed Miller: We's only together once. She's afraid of lightning. She came up into the wagon and just cuddled right up to me. She gave me a kind price, too.
Dick Liddil: Well I'll be! That is specific.
Ed Miller: Yeah, sure, she been with other people. But the kinds of things she said to me, people just don't say unless they really mean it.
Dick Liddil: "My love said she would marry only me, and Jove himself could not make her care, for what women say to lovers, you'll agree, one writes on running water, or on air."
Ed Miller: My God that's good. Let's write her that.
Dick Liddil: Naw. Poetry don't work on whores.
