THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD 2-DISC SET FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a critically acclaimed film released in 2007, featuring Brad Pitt in the titular role as the notorious outlaw, Jesse James. This film explores the complex relationship between James and his eventual murderer, Robert Ford, played by Casey Affleck. It delves deeply into themes of legend versus reality, the burdens of fame, and the moral ambiguity surrounding heroism and villainy.
The film is based on the novel by Ron Hansen, which provides a detailed narrative of the last days of Jesse James, one of America's most famous outlaws. Historically, the film depicts the events leading up to James' assassination in 1882, illustrating his status as a legendary figure in the Old West and the darker realities of his life.
Brad Pitt's portrayal of Jesse James is marked by a multifaceted performance that captures the charisma, volatility, and eventual vulnerability of the character. He is shown as a larger-than-life figure, both feared and admired, embodying the conflicting emotions that surrounded his legacy. Pitt's performance earned him significant acclaim, showcasing his ability to immerse himself in deeply complex roles.
Casey Affleck, portraying Robert Ford, delivers a hauntingly nuanced performance that reveals Ford's infatuation with James as well as his ultimate betrayal. Ford's character is portrayed as a deeply troubled individual caught between his desire for acceptance and his moral dilemmas. The film captures how his relationship with Jesse evolves from admiration to desperation, culminating in the tragic act of betrayal.
The cinematography, directed by Roger Deakins, features stunning visuals that evoke the melancholic beauty of the American landscape during the late 19th century. The cinematography beautifully complements the somber tone of the film, emphasizing the isolation of the characters and the stark realities of their lives.
The score, composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, further enhances the film's atmosphere. The haunting melodies echo the film's themes of loneliness and betrayal, immersing the audience in the emotional landscape of the story.
In addition to its artistic accomplishments, the film provokes thoughtful discussions about historical representation in cinema. It challenges viewers to consider how legends are crafted and the human stories behind them. The film poses questions about the nature of heroism and the societal fascination with outlaws, drawing parallels between true crime and the creation of myth.
Overall, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is more than just a biographical drama; it is a profound examination of fame, loyalty, and the human condition. It captures the complexities of its characters with grace, presenting a rich tapestry of emotional depth within the historical narrative. This film is a must-watch for fans of Westerns and character-driven storytelling alike.
As a part of the 2-Disc Set FYC (For Your Consideration), the release offers additional content such as behind-the-scenes features, cast interviews, and insights into the film's production, providing a comprehensive look at the making of this cinematic masterpiece.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
