American Outlaws VS. Jesse James
VS
I have watched these 2 versions of Jesse James movie. The old movie I did some research that it was at the time of 1939. The old version which the movie call Jesse Jame it seem like history of the real Jesse James. Even when they shown me how he died it was like the documentary Ajarn preview in the class. So i guess this old version is related to the reality of Jesse James.
But to be honnest the old version was quite boring for me. In the movie there were not many main actors. They didn't even tell me about Jesse's cousin even Jimmy, Jesse younger brother.
There were only Frank and Jesse James. Zee , Jesse's wife, she was with Uncle Ruff!!?? but why the American Outlaws said Zee was with the old man name Doc..hmm i don't know what is his name actually but Jesse called him Doc.
This is Jesse James's mother,
The way Jesse's mother died was quite the same for both version. But I don't understand why the old version Mr.Wright, Marshall, in the movie was related to the story. He likes Zee also but he was a nice guy. He even helps Jeese.
I havent got many pictures of the old Jeese James movie but let's me introduce the main actors of the American outlaws movie first ^_^
This is my Hero! I think Cole is fit to be Jeese James in the American outlaws. He has loads of charms, sweet , romantic and tons power of fighting.
Jeese James in Ameican outlaws it's actually quite over realistic. It's just a typical Hollywood movie. Jeese James was not die in the movie. It was an Happy ending movie.
He was going to the new place with Zee at the end of the movie. It's Tennesse but the Jesse James old version they were going to Califonia. This is an outstanding contrast I have seen.
Cole Younger, this guy was good on shooting in the movie. I don't really know if the realistic he was almost as famous as Jesse but in the American outlaws he seems to be the second famous guy.
Frank James, he is Jesse's brother but he was not really show up outstanding like Cole. He was mature and good for writing especially about William Shakspears(sorry i'm not sure how to pronounce the name).
Jimmy James, the younger brother of Jeese. I have heard about him in the documentary video that Ajarn shown in the class. So I supposed that he was exist in the Jesse family because he was not exist in the old version Jesse James.
Zee, i don't know her full name but in American Outlaws she was so good with gun and stuffs. It's quite contrast with the old version, Zee was such a sweet and weak girl. She kept crying for a whole movie about Jesse James. They even got a son together.
Oh..I forgot one thing. This is funny ^^, the old Jesse James he had a colour skin slave name Pinkies ^__^! which American outlaws doesn't have.
Anyway for the culture and all view in my opinion. I think american people at that time they didn't afraid of the laws that much. They knew that they could escape to somewhere else because the laws at that time was not as strict as now aday. Having guns and weapons seem to be something normal there, maybe it because that time there were still War.
People at that time they were not really ready for the new things like the Railroad. Because they would have lost their own farm to build the Railroad. Poor them T_T they had to lose their own property.
MCKENNA'S GOLD
This Movie names Mckenna's Gold and Mckenna is the name of Marshal. He shown up at the beginning of the movie with an old Indian man. The old Indian man was a leader of the tribe that knew where was the gold. The Marshal, Mckenna, he was not really believe in the supernatural story about gold that it's real. But anyway the old indian man tried to kill him in the desert but the man was good. He shot back the old indian man instead. He didn't want the old man die though. The old man told him about the gold and the map and then passed away.
This is Mckenna, he didn't believe about gold and seem like he was the one in the movie that was not greedy, anyway after he saw the map he thrown away the map into the fire. In the movie his character was the one who had a good memory so he could remember everything in the Map.
His name is Colorado, he is the most greediest guy in the movie. He killed
Inga Bergmann's father.
This is her.
This is the place that they went to and there was actually gold there. But Colorado was too greedy. He didn't want to share the gold with anybody else so he killed everybody he joined the adventure with him. But he couldn't kill Mackenna and Inga.
A whole movie was only flighting, people running around, some people came to join expected to get the share of the gold. But finally there were only 3 people left, Mackenna, Colorado and Inga.
The one who got the gold was actually Mackenna because he didn't know that he rode the horse that Sergeant, the leader of Solider, took on the back of the horse.
The situation was wuite busy at the end because one group of Indian came with horses then gone so white people had to hide. The rock were destroyed everybody tried to escape from the place. At the end Colorado sperated with Mackenna and the gold was on the back of the horse he rode and he didn't know that.
I like this movie and I think this movie's kind of telling the viewer that don't be too greedy because everybody wanted to have all their own gold and finally they died because they killed each other.
The one who didn't believe that the gold was existed and he got everything. ^__^
Time in the movie was the time of white people and Indian people live. Indian people knew the Language? I'm not sure if the movie try to make it to be easy as everybody speak English or not.
And Indian people could even be friends with white people? they were not slaves of white people. But they do really believe in the supernatural things. Actually it's just like Asian people now. Like my mum , she still believe in the supernatural things and she does believe. She even goes to the temples every weekend or anytime that she is free.
However I do enjoy the movie and this movie should have a new nickname as "The Greedy story" ^___^!
*Peace*

one of his Lyrics I pick.. is
When Things Go Wrong (It Hurts Me Too) (Version 1) :: Big Bill Broonzy
Big Bill Broonzy 1957
from Big Bill Broonzy Sings Country Blues (Folkways LP FS2326),
I love you, baby,
I ain't gonna lie
Without you, woman,
I just can't be satisfied
'Cause when things go wrong, so wrong with you,
it hurts me too
So, run here, baby,
put your little hands in mine
I've got something to tell you, baby,
I know, that will change your mind
When things go wrong, so wrong with you,
it hurts me too
I want you, baby,
just to understand
I don't want to be your boss, baby,
I just want to be your man
When things go wrong, so wrong. with you,
it hurts me too
Now, when you go home,
you don't get along
Come back to me, baby,
where I live, that's your home
When things go wrong, so wrong with you,
it hurts me too
I love you, baby,
you know it's true
I wouldn't mistreat you, baby,
not for nothing in this world like you
When things go wrong, so wrong with you,
it hurts me too
So, yes, you know, when things go wrong,
it hurts me too

*****************************************
In my opinion...while i'm writing this Blog about Big Bill Broonzy's song..i'm listening to the music of him calls "Kansas City" from the CD-rom that Arjarn gave me.
I think the music that they play quite good actually but one thing is he keep singing the same lyrics repeat many times. I don't know if it the way of blues music like. The lyrics are seem simple to me but I think he write the songs from his experience and his life.
