 Susan, I'm really glad you enjoyed the movie. I, too, bridled at that scene with mountains in the background. As much attention to detail as the director paid throughout the movie, I was amazed he allowed such an egregious error to stand.

I thought Casey Affleck (Ben Affleck's younger brother) did an excellent job bringing Robert Ford to life. Hubby though Casey's voice was very irritating after awhile, but I thought that voice matched the personality of Ford...kind of a weakling who tried to prove himself worthy of his hero Jesse James while his family ridiculed of his efforts.  

I can see Casey Affleck being nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor and Brad Pitt for best actor. Whether either one wins is another matter.

As an aside, when I get my act together I will write my review of "Elizabeth: The Golden Years." Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh was perfect casting even though when one looks at paintings of the mariner, one sees no physical resemblance at all.
