A sad story.
In the nineteenth century America, the young Bob madly worshipped Jesse, the thief at that time, hoping to become a person like him. When he gradually got to know this legendary figure, the worship became a little disillusioned, and finally he betrayed and shot Jesse.
Towards the end of the scene, the dancer asked him, "Why did you kill him?" Bob hesitated and said, "He's going to kill me." The dancer said with disdain, "The only reason is that you're afraid?" At this time, the music "song for bob" sounded slowly, sad and mourning, he will always live in the shadow left by jesse, even though he killed him, everyone will think bob is a humble coward, even his closest woman is no exception, This huge situation of exclusion and intimidation by strangers is the exact opposite of his original heroic dream, going to two extremes. Bob bowed his head for a long time, as if he didn't know, and said helplessly: "Do you know what I expected? Applause." A innocent smile appeared on his face again, "I was only 20 years old, I don't know how others will see it. , I'm surprised it turned out like this, they didn't applaud."
"He regrets killing Jesse, he misses him terribly, and he wishes he didn't have to kill Jesse to save his life."
"Even when he was walking through his own bar, He also knew that when he walked by, the smiles of these people would disappear."
"He got so many malicious letters that by the time he finally read it there was nothing but curiosity."
"He stayed in the house all day, Flip over the cards and watch your destiny in every k and j."
Shooting jesse ruined his life, he became depressed, and he paid a huge price for his young dream of fame Unbearable, this is far from what the bob who shot jesse was far from expecting, and even he was shot by another fanatic in the end and no one really cared.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford quotes

  • Jesse James: You know I'm real comfortable with your brother. Hell, he's ugly as sin and he smells like a skunk and he's so ignorant he couldn't drive nails in the snow, but he's sort of easy to be around. I can't say the same for you, Bob.

    Robert Ford: I'm sorry to hear you say that.

    Jesse James: [pause] You know how it is when you're with your girlfriend and the moon is out and you know she wants to be kissed even though she never said so?

    Robert Ford: Yeah.

    Jesse James: You're giving me signs that grieve my soul and make me wonder if maybe your mind's been changed about me.

    Robert Ford: What do you want me to do? Swear my good faith on the Bible?

  • Jesse James: [motioning to Bob] Sit over here closer, Kid.

    [begins massaging Bob's neck]

    Jesse James: Charley, you'll stay with the animals. Me and The Kid will walk into the bank just before noon. Bob will move the cashier away from the shotgun that's under the counter and I'll creep up behind that cashier and cock his chin back like so...

    [snaps Bob's head back, sticks a knife to his throat]

    Jesse James: I'll say 'How come an off-scouring of creation like you is still sucking air when so many of mine are in coffins?' I'll say 'How'd you reach your twentieth birthday without leaking out all over your clothes?' And if I don't like his attitude, I'll slit that phildoodle so deep he'll flop on the floor like a fish.

    [Jesse let's Bob go, begins to laugh hysterically]

    Jesse James: My God, what just happened? I could hear your gears grinding- rrr,rrr,rrr-and your little motor wondering, 'My Gosh, what's next, what's happening to me?' You were precious to behold, Bob. You were white as spit in a cotton field!
