I give up

The total length of this movie is 02:39:50 and I quited on 01:21:18.
The name of this film is like some kind of biography, and the movie started with a lot of asides. Thanks the asides, without them I could never understand the story through the dialogues.
Prad Pett always acts some legends in movies recently. And I just don't know why so many audiences buy him.
The story should be nice cause Jesse James is some guy like heros in LiangShan to American people. But the rhythm of the movie is tooooo sluggish. There is always sharp edge for this kind of movie. It could be a great movie like A River Runs Through or a somehow slow movie.
Someone told that the later part of the movie is quite exciting. But for me, lukily I'm not living on movie comment writing, It's enough.

    A western story as beautiful and soothing as poetry.

    I thought this was a Brad movie, but I didn't expect it to be a Casey Affleck movie.

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.
