This film was adapted from Ron Hansen’s 1983 novel of the same name. Unlike Jesse James movies of the past, Andrew Dominik’s film is presented as a psychoanalytical historical epic rather than a shoot-‘em-up western. The movie details the outlaw’s deteriorating psyche during his final months of life as he slowly succumbs to paranoia and develops a precarious friendship with his eventual assassin, Robert Ford. The strange relationship between the two men is examined over the course of the film. Peter Bradshaw’s review in The Guardian makes note of James’ contribution to his own demise as well as the apparent paradox present in the title of both novel and film.

All the while being told as he sets through being sued by four people(included his best-friend).

Bruce Lee’s film “The Way Of The Dragon”  hits blu ray. If you haven’t seen this film I suggest seeing the new blu ray version from China. This version has more footage than the original U.S. release.,and is interesting to hear in the original Chinese version. This version only has English sub-titles though it has a few characters speaking in english,and the picture and sound is better than ever. So if you’re a die hard Bruce Lee fan such as myself,or new to his films this version of The Way Of The Dragon is definitely a must see film
