Casey Affleck blew me away with his performance in this movie. He really deserved to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor... it's a shame he didn't.
As a person who likes both types of movies (the good versions anyway) I'd like to say that I'm offended by your arrogance. For one thing very different types of movies should not be likened to each other. And which one you like more has nothing to do with your intelligence or your validity as a human being.
Good movie! I'm a huge Western Movie buff, plus, I love the real life outlaws of the old west. And, Jesse James is my favorite. (The Cisco Kid is my favorite fake. haha). But, I think Brad Pitt did a great job from what I could tell, and Casey stunned me as Robert Ford. He made me HATE him. Haha. I thought it was great as a movie in itself. It wasn't a shoot out rob banks kind of western as I prefer, but great for Jesse James fans.
Just because his older brother made it big, does not mean that Ben's talent automatically translates to this little dweeb. I'm so sick of these fucking actors who abuse their status in the industry by insuring that people in their family get all the opportunities and parts, meanwhile others have to work a thousand times harder. Actors who pull this shit are creating generational monopolies, and they have no right! Why the hell should this guy make easy money when so many others work harder??

I hate it when people only go to see a movie for eye candy like attractive actors or explosions and action instead of true storytelling and actual themes. It's the problem with modern cinema. And Execs are mostly to blame for allowing such dribble to exist just for money.
Like Transformers and all that....Dont get me wrong i sometimes like watching thoses types of movies, but I mostly love watching movies that actually have a great story and dont always need that big budget for CGI and all that
And to me, a movie has have some decent acting in it as well you know....Most of the time you can tell when a movie is gonna be trashy just by the preview
The good thing is there are still good movies around....so really its all good. Let the morons watch their awesome blockbuster flicks and leave the good movies for the rest.
@pennydesouza the people who are considered attractive in cinema, I do not consider attractive. They have two many perfect traits, they look like mannequins.
@Lazarus171 Sure - I actually feel the same way - but what I questioned is that you seem to be criticising people for going to see a film because they find a member of the cast attractive (regardless of how you define 'attractive'). I'm not trying to be rude or combative - I'm just gently suggesting that perhaps you're being a little hypocritical? You've never watched a film because you fancy one of the actors/actresses?
@pennydesouza No, I have never spent money to go see a movie purely out of a desire to see an attractive member of the cast. Just a google search would help with that. I go to see movies because I enjoy art and storytelling.
@VeryLowBudgetFilms lol yeah I get that sometimes. But the thing is, I enjoy movies for what they are. But I prefer to watch movies for acting ability rather than how an actor looks. This is after all what movies are about. They're essentially the combination of many art forms-music, theatre, literature, etc.
@Lazarus171 yeah haha i agree with what you're saying, I just felt the need to tell you that. It's a shame that people pay to see such trash such as Sex and the city 2 but won't pay a cent for a masterpiece like this one.
@VeryLowBudgetFilms I don't much care for people seeing that. But when people say that Avatar is the best movie ever and movies like Precious are bad, then something is wrong. I mean some people are so stupid and EVERYONE thinks they know about movies because they're very mainstream.
@Lazarus171 that obviously didnt occur with this movie because this movie flopped to such an extent it didnt even get its budget back despite the story being incredible and the movie being beautiful. pretty much everything you just said is wrong
@Lazarus171 I agree somewhat, but if i see a movie with milla jovavich i havent seen yet at blockbuster, which is unlikely, i would probably rent it, She is gorgeous, But atleast she is also a really talented actress. And makes good movies.
Casey and Ben are very talented, in different ways. Casey is a great actor and Ben is a wonderful storyteller/filmmaker, Gone, Baby Gone was magnificent.
I just bought the DVD of this movie. Saw it on PPV awhile back.....excellent movie. Not your typical western/cowboy movie. More like a period piece./character study. I was pleasantly surprised by both Brad Pitt's and Casey Affleck's performances. I loved all the little nuances in Brad's performance. The way he casually tosses the newspaper on the table and the way he says "Well hello, now.....the arrest and confession of Dick Liddel," and then swallows. Great film!
I was positivily suprised by this movie. I thought it would just be some kind of western movie wannabe but I actually liked it, heck I even loved it. Clint Eastwood would be proud. :)
I agree I saw it last night and it is long, but I wasn't sure of who else in the movie but Brad Pitt but when I saw Casey I thought wow, he really knows how to get into character and bring it to life. Well done Casey!
That was an excellent performance by Casey Affleck - it was too good. He was too good of a creep so he wasn't likeable in any way, shape or form - I want to see him in more things now so I can see his acting in other stories.
I think those practical jokes would be awesome. If I ever worked on a movie, I'd totally slap smeones face right before the director would say action.
I fucking love this guy.
