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.

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.

You really are very good at contrasting and comparing films, Ms. Tori!

These two films were really good to compare and contrast. Hopefully everyone will read your blog and learn how to compare and contrast. I will insist that they all come here to check this out.

A very nicely done blog.

Oh, I forgot. One of the big things about Americans is that we do not trust our government at all. Most Americans would rather not have a government meddling in their affairs and act like it. Too much meddling and the people will get kicked out at the next elections. This concept can certainly be considered an aspect of American culture. I am glad you picked up on it.
