I think my favorite bit of the film involves James' body, when they are taking pictures of it and then turning it into a spectacle. The whole shot of people watching while the narrator talks about how much money was offered for the corpse while Ford went on to "assassinate James over 800 times" was a brilliant role reversal. I think that worked so well because most of what Jesse did in the movie wasn't shown, so he isn't "that bad." Unless I missed that part at the beginning.
