Bravado Quote by Ti West
“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.”

![“[Valley of Violence] was written for James Ransone. PJ's a friend of mine, I've known him for a long time, he's always like, "Dude, when are we going to make a movie together?" I finally called him.” quote by Ti West](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/551/ti-west-2310_known_valley-of-violence-was-written-for-james_2236369.jpg)
![“I did the movie [Valley of Violence] from two perspectives. You're with Ethan [Hawke] the whole movie, but for the first half, you're really with Ethan. For the second half, you're with him, but also you're with the bad guys because he kind of becomes the bad guy. No one's really good in the movie.” quote by Ti West](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7cf/ti-west-2310_bad-guy_i-did-the-movie-valley-of-violence-from_2575611.jpg)
![“With my horror movies or with this movie [Valley of Violence], same thing. The subtext of this movie is what to take away from it. Plot is never something that's been my driving force as a filmmaker.” quote by Ti West](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0c0/ti-west-2310_cinema_with-my-horror-movies-or-with-this-movie_720793.jpg)
![“It is a very classic Western [Valley of Violence], and if you like Westerns, you'll like this movie, but there's a tone to it that's all its own that I think is unique and memorable.” quote by Ti West](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1c3/ti-west-2310_classic_it-is-a-very-classic-western-valley-of-v_2557259.jpg)
![“It's not the plot [of Valley of Violence] - the plot is the reason to get all these things to happen, all these character moments to happen. It was always meant to have these two perspectives.” quote by Ti West](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/3dc/ti-west-2310_character_it-s-not-the-plot-of-valley-of-violence_20670.jpg)
