    The way the narrator tells you what’s going to happen before it does, gives the story a sever, devastating sense of finality. Combined with the soundtrack, and the acting from the whole cast, still one of my favorite films 13 years later.

    I was just thinking about that too as I watched it. It's almost to pay double respect, because yes we know what's going to happen, but it's still shocking nonetheless, but instead of relying on the shock and horror of Bob Ford being gunned down, it relies on the quiet melancholy, as though to say, yes this happened well over 100 years ago and while the shock is gone there's still a lingering sense of melancholy for those lost in time to history... although as long as there are still filmmakers to tell the stories...

    It runs like a Greek tragedy. It's the fall of a "great man" with the narrator functioning as the Chorus, and the audience knowing how it ends walking in. Jesse has his fate, and so does Bob, and no matter what they do, they can't escape it. Part of what makes it really special is that one of them, Jesse, seems to know his fate throughout. He talks like a mystic at times, and he sees it all ending in that gorgeous execution scene. But poor Bob is an innocent. We all know history will write him off - when not actively reviling him - but he just can't see it. He really thinks that he can be a "great man," too, by performing this deed, only coming to realization years later and far too late. I love this scene as his anagnorisis, but instead of it being this explosion of recognition, it's all done quietly and with his sad smile. This film was (and is) SO sadly ignored by the general public, which is a shame because it's just so beautiful and brilliant.

Such an innocuous phrase, but steeped in interpretation and meaning and discussion over decades. Bob couldn't manage even that. A tragic, poetic end.

It runs about 20 minutes shorter; the characters and their desires are much more one-dimensional; and it has that feel-good ending with everyone getting what they deserve. This one is much more dense. It demands something from the audience, and Lord, that ending. So beautiful but so, so sad. It'll always be the better movie because it's better written and better made, but Shawshank will always be the more popular, I think.

    There are a few lines in the book that explains it better than the movie, perhaps, describing Jesse as "a faulty judge of character" and having "a callow need for attention," which may be why he agreed to be around Bob in the first place. Being confronted with someone as obsessive as Bob fascinated him and stroked his ego, especially as he came to grips with the fact that his own career as an outlaw was coming to an end and his list of loyal men growing thin. Toward the end of the story he actually becomes envious of Bob, telling him, "If I could change lives with you right now, I would," and wishing he could have a clean slate without the burden of his crimes.

    Also, if you believe the theory that Jesse had been contemplating suicide and allowed his assassination to happen because of that, you could argue that he always saw in Bob the possibility that he would be the one to kill him and kept him around BECAUSE the idea interested him. I was listening to The Cine Files podcast episodes about this film and they described it better than I could: That for Jesse, Bob was like the gun that you buy when you're considering shooting yourself. In your more lucid moments you hate the gun, you despise it and wish it were gone, but you just can't get rid of it because you know one day you're going to be pushed over the edge and use it. When they came to the scene where Jesse gifts Bob a new handgun, they said, "If Bob is like a gun, then Jesse just bought bullets, too."

And all the diffrent emotions his character is feeling we are feeling it with him. Edited: Also I love a little detail in this film. If you see in this scene his Saloon is in a tent. That was because he brought the property and it burned down 6 days later. So he erected a temporary tent saloon. And he died 3 days after the fire.

So tell me at the age of 18-19 did you hijack and rob a train? Did you join and ride with one of the most feared gangs and outlaws of the time. Did you find the courage to draw down on and kill one of the most notorious and deadly Western Outlaws? Did you open a bar and show your face every day in public even though you know everyone around you is calling you coward and murderer? Jesse was extremely paranoid at the end of his life that one of his gang members would kill him for the reward money. He even killed a couple of his old gang members due to suspicions he had. Bob and his brother Charlie became paranoid that they’d be next, so no doubt this played into their reasoning to kill Jesse, so with all that said I would say Robert Ford was in no way a coward, maybe not brave in the real sense of the word, but in no way a coward.

    Edward O'Kelly came up from Bachelor at one P.M. on the 8th. He had no grand scheme. No strategy. No agreement with higher authorities. Nothing but a vague longing for glory, and a generalized wish for revenge against Robert Ford. Edward O'Kelly would be ordered to serve a life sentence in the Colorado Penitentiary for second degree murder. Over seven thousand signatures would eventually be gathered in a petition asking for O'Kelly's release, and in 1902, Governor James B. Ullman would pardon the man. There would be no eulogies for Bob, no photographs of his body would be sold in sundries stores, no people would crowd the streets in the rain to see his funeral cortege, no biographies would be written about him, no children named after him, no one would ever pay twenty-five cents to stand in the rooms he grew up in. The shotgun would ignite, and Ella Mae would scream, but Robert Ford would only lay on the floor and look at the ceiling, the light going out of his eyes before he could find the right words. When I first watched this at the theatre simply brilliant.

    I love how Ford seems to pause and stare for a long moment at the entrance as he walks around the bar to sort thru his mail. Almost like he has a premonition. I only noticed that on the 80th or 81st time watching this scene. 😁And the newspaper is such a nice touch. News stories contributed to the James’ myth that seduced Ford, and it also hints at the beginning of a new era - mass communication and commericialism (the ad for baking powder) - as another old west legend is about to die. Great, great movie.

    I think what this story tries to convey about Bob is that sometimes the time and context can get the best of anybody, that when confronted we can all be 'cowards', we're human and we're designed to make mistakes. Forgiveness is key and that, if anything, is what this movie hopes to impart to us all for Bob.

    Sheep incapable of thinking for themselves and who need to be told what to believe really have no clue what this movie is about. Robert Ford wasn't a coward; the title of the movie specifically is ironic. It's a reference to how the whole narrative is skewed and how that failure of people to see through it doomed Bob. The title says one thing, yet in the movie, we see Bob isn't a coward at all. He shot someone who clearly wanted to be shot, and who otherwise would have shot him. When Jesse James is assassinated, it's hardly even an assassination. On Bob's part, it's self defense. On Jesse's part, it's suicide. Jesse James did nothing to earn his god-like reputation, Bob Ford did nothing to earn his status as a monumental coward. The movie displays this perfectly outright. At the beginning, his character is described with poetry, as an angelic, larger than life Robinhood who could do no wrong and is utterly magnificent. Yet in all of the scenes with Jesse, he does nothing impressive. In fact, he's kind of an asshole. He's an asshole who just gets worse and worse as he gets more and more stressed out. He beats up a child for not answering his question while holding the child's mouth shut, carrying himself like he's some badass while doing it. That's not the badass noble superhuman god-status Jesse James Renegade Outlaw we know from the stories. And he knows that. He cries after doing something so pathetic, realizing how deep of a hole he's dug himself, and the fact that he's so famed and beloved does nothing to save him from this reality, and underlies every interaction he has with every human being on the planet. He also is suicidal. Similarly, we see Bob as someone who is very relatable and trying to earn his way, yet at the same time no one takes him seriously and he can never do it. He did nothing to deserve getting treated with so much disrespect, let alone treated that way while so ambitious. The reality of trying to become Jesse James is futile, and as times goes on reality kicks in that Jesse very well may murder him. They're both victim to folk tales and reputation. They're 2 sides of the same coin: the reality of fame. Jesse could never leave his criminal lifestyle since it had made him into a mythic figure, Bob couldn't become Jesse because there was never any merit to the myth of Jesse James anyways, and he also couldn't escape the thing that finally made him famous, nor could he escape the type of infamy that would curse him the rest of his life. Both of their fates were sealed and they died the same way and for the same reasons, defeated by their own criminal lifestyle and vices, and accepting their fate with no emotion about it. If you watched this movie and what you took away from it was that Jesse James was God and Robert Ford was an emotionless sociopath, please turn your brain on.

    There is a interesting Coincidence with the ending in the context of the Assassination of Jesse James: When Edward O'Kelly says the line "Hello Bob" before pointing and shooting Robert Ford with the Shotgun, there is a similar situation in the case of the outlaw, Billy the Kid, and another western -> Sam Peckinpah's "Pat Garret and Billy the Kid". According to the story and movie, Billy kills a lawmen named Bob Olinger, who has been chasing down way before Pat Garrett, and right before killing him with a shotgun, Billy says a similar phrase to Olinger "Hello Bob". Almost if the roles were reversed.
