- Abstract
An essay is presented on the 2007 American Western drama film "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," starring Brad Pitt and directed by Andrew Dominik. It compares the film with its 1970 counterparts, with particular focus on genre revisionism and industrial practice of gambling. It explores the failure of the film to secure a large audience, which can be attributed to the film's revisionism and anti-Western character.
