In fact, the most sympathetic person in this movie is not Jesse but Bob. He is full of longing to follow his idol and want to do a heroic career, but the reality is not what he thinks at all. In his eyes, Jesse should be a hero. A heroic thief who is brave and resourceful, acts as a chivalrous person, and hoes the strong to help the weak, but in reality, Jesse is an ordinary robber who does not pay attention to loyalty and kills innocent people indiscriminately. When the myth busted, Bob raised his gun. He killed Jesse out of love, not hate. Bob wasn't a traitor, it was Jesse who betrayed "Jesse". The sad tunes that run through the film are more for Bob.
