“I wrote [Valley of Violence] entirely with James Ransone in mind. I get such a joy out of watching his performance and seeing people watch this. He's so great. The bravado thing and the foolishness, he does them both so well. It's weird because he's so hateable in the movie, but in the end, you're also going, "I feel bad for him." That's hard to do. It's hard to do that to where you're like, "This guy's the worst, but I know why he's the worst, so it's a shame this is happening." That's the whole thing.” PeopleKnowsFeelsMindWellsDoeEndsHardWholeJoyGuyWatchesViolenceSeeingWorstHappeningsPerformancesShameValleysFoolishnessThis GuyBravado Author:Ti West
