Movie Review
The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford-
I really liked this, but it was too long. The slow brooding mood of it all was good, but it just needed to be trimmed down. If you have the time watch it. But a spare 2 1/2 hours to just sit around are hard to come by.
This bit of trivia is interesting:
The original cut of "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" was nearly four hours long. It was edited down to two hours and forty minutes, its current runtime, at the studio's request. However, it did play at least once at its original 4-hour length, most notably at the Venice Film Festival, where Brad Pitt picked up the Best Actor Award. After the viewing, critics at the festival labeled the film as "majestic."
I know I said it was already too long, but I would want to see the 4 hour version.
