The Assassination of Jesse James

Saw this movie at 11:00am Monday at the Elgin and liked it. It's more of a psychological drama than a western (read: a lot of talking) and Brad Pitt is perfect in the role. Possible nomination. I think Casey Affleck also does a good job and really the story is about him and how he wants fame and recognition. The director was asked lots of comments in Q&A about what the film says about celebrity then and now. There are interesting parallels. The film was shot in Alberta and Winnipeg and I was scanning crowd scenes looking for my brother Steve who was an extra. I thought I saw him but he'll have to see it to know for sure. The train robbery at night was dreamily shot. MMMm
