In Jamusch's films, "Dead Man" explores the deep meaning of death in a fearless and lyrical way, which best represents his perception of this society.
The film is like a meditational sketch, its charm is due to Robbie Muller's black and white photography, Neil Young's exquisite and simple guitar soundtrack, Depp's polite and poetic performance-he lay down Holding the dead deer, this scene is quite representative. The performances of those peculiar supporting roles supported the slightly thin scenes of the plot.
The narration and violence in the film are monotonous and flat, especially the perverse and almost neurotic behavior of the cold-blooded killer Cole Wilson. The silence that fills the void of the Great West, the silver-white birch trees that pass by William as he rides through the woods, the pragmatic manner of "no one" when he performs an obscure ritual to William who is not so conscious. Attitude will evoke the audience's memories of unrelated people, places, and moments.
