Well, all I can say is "WOW"! This movie is incredible! All of the acting performances were amazing, and Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt both deserved Oscars for there realistic, gritty interpretations of Bob Ford and Jesse James. Also, the cinematography was out of this world, the sound track hauntingly surreal, and the story itself compelling. This movie should have swept almost every catagory at the Acadamy Awards, however, it appears as though the voters are more swayed by box office results than by the artistic value of a film. Still, this movie is an artful masterpiece, and will be an instant "classic" in the western genre. This movie achieves what most only attempt, and that is to transport the viewer to another place and time, and make him or her believe they are actually part of the story. While watching this movie, I myself felt as though I had been transported back to the midwestern United States in the year 1881, and was watching the entire, overwhelming drama unfold before my very eyes!!!!!

Naturally, some things were that of which movies are made. cb The love-hate relationships between the James brothers and those who followed them was very accurate.
