The Assassination of Jesse James - Bob's Side

[Muckaduck]

I feel as though this video builds the motive of revenge and anger in Bob's killing of Jesse James. It's very convincing. However, I think that Bob suffers from a strong personal envy of Jesse and his everlasting desire to be a legend of Jesse James' stature. The story grows upon Bob's inability to cope with himself in the shadow of his idol. This culminates in his fear and longing to be greater that leads him to kill Jesse. It is one of the greatest character struggles ever portrayed in film..

@Muckaduck Actually, he was told to shoot Jesse.

it's funny how this film isn't really about Jesse but more about Robert. The film starts near the end of Jesse's carreer and ends after his death. He appears almost to be a ghost. Fleeting in and out of scenes.

Your description has given some sense of closure over the fact that this true masterpiece was overlooked and discredited. It is a perfect picture.

No, it's not boring! This song is perfect for this MV. Bob is a tragic figure in cinema history. I felt so sorry for him at the end.

@whynot0224 Aw thank you so much! I felt exactly the same; he had been a coward and a rat, but I couldn't hate him at the end. I pitied him.

Super Video. Die Ermordung des Jesse James durch den Feigling Robert Ford - hätte einen Oscar verdient gehabt - es steckt eine Geschichte dahinter mit tollen Schauspielern und toller Filmmusik.

Robert Ford is a hero, and you're right, "Song for Bob" is just amazing. Great video!

Nice work,

I love how this film makes it so you can't help but at least feel a little sympathetic with Robert.
