Wonderful World of Ashley

Some might find it boring with loads of talking but I thought it is an artful brilliance. Simply remarkable. The movie lasts for 2.5 hours.

To sum it up, the show started with the forming of a new gang in 1879, mainly committing train robberies. With his gang depleted by arrests, deaths, and defections, Jesse thought he had only two men left whom he could trust - brothers Bob and Charley Ford. (Bob is a huge fan of Jesse when he was little and inspired to follow in his idol's footsteps). Unbeknownst to Jesse, Bob had been conducting secret negotiations with the governor to bring him in.

On April 3 1882, after eating breakfast, the Fords and James prepared for departure for another robbery, going in and out of the house to prepare the horses. It was an unusually hot day, James removed his coat then declared that he should remove his firearms as well, lest he look suspicious. James noticed a dusty picture on the wall and stood on a chair to clean it. Bob Ford took advantage of the opportunity and shot James in the back of the head.

His assassination proved a national sensation. He was only 34. Pictures can be found at places like Taj Mahal till today. While on the other hand, Bob was anticipating for an applause but instead, he labelled as a coward for murdering James. Bob Ford was later killed by a shotgun blast to the throat on June 8 1892 while his brother, Charley committed suicide.

Brad Pitt is Jesse James while Casey Affleck (yes, the younger brother to Ben) played Robert Ford. Casey has been nominated for the Best Supporting Role for this movie. Watch for it!
