Best movie of the year? Easily?

"The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."
Brad deserved an Oscar, as did Affleck.
Pitt is just flat out scary as hell. I cannot recall seeing a more terrifying character on screen except for Samuel L. Jackson in those 2 Tarantino films and Mitchum in his stellar, "The Night of the Hunter."
This is more of an existential film, meaning that it seemingly has no beginning, middle, or end nor is it plot driven. The apparent theme of vengeance hangs heavily but then disappears like heavy fog in a sudden windstorm.
It is a long rumination on the nature of true criminality and evil, myth-making, and justice.
Mainly, however, it is a terrific depiction of two characters in conflict, separating and colliding many times before a cosmic event is inevitable.
I am still a bit startled by its unexpected brilliance.
It is... a modern masterpiece.
