The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward John Ford (2007)

The character development of Jesse James' killer John Ford must be very interesting. In the first fifteen or so minutes of this film, the only part I saw, the "coward" Ford -- as the movie's extended title labels him -- is a wide-eyed doe of a boy living his adventure fantasies, robbing a train and escaping with Jesse James (Brad Pitt) and his gang. I imagine he becomes hardened and perhaps even bitter toward James by the time he kills him. Also in the first 15 or so minutes, James' brother leaves the gang, possibly foreshadowing Ford's eventual betrayal.

I saw this as a free screening, but did not arrive early enough to get a good seat, so I left. If anyone sees the rest, let me know if I'm right, thanks.

p.s. are Labels for losers? I don't think so.
