DEAD MAN
"This disappointment from Jim Jarmusch.."
--Some ignorant Amazon.com Employee Reviewer
I first this wouldn't bother me at all, reading what some mainstream minded fuck had to say about this film. But the film that I watched last night, deserves a whole lot better then this hack's opinion. This Western film, start to finish, is beautifully shot in black and white by Jarmusch and staring Johnny Deep doing another flawless, cool performance. Can't believe there are people that don't understand this film? (Roger Ebert)
Anyways.. I always find that some of the best films always have a limitless stock of supporting characters and cameos, that in a instant can put a huge smile on face just from one line or one action, and you're like "OH! That guy in this! damn LOL! I love this movie." I did this many times through out this. Like Gary Farmer's performance, as the outcast Native American,
Nobody, was hilarious. Johnny Depp and Farmer's bond and chemistry was spot on. There was a few times the picture just seemed to leap right out of the screen the shots were so vivid and captivating! Like I just wanted to pause the movie and print it off as a poster and hang it on your wall. Jim knows exactly what he wants and you can tell, he goes out and gets it. Also not to mention NEIL YOUNG'S work with the whole soundtrack! Just Neil and his guitar put a completely new spin how to soundtrack to a Western. All in all this film is a head scratcher.. why the hell isn't this movie more celebrated and praised???
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE POSTMODERN WESTERN.
