      Stranger

      This is a movie about loneliness, and who can understand us in our own world?
      The film accompanies philosophy, fatalism, and reflections on life.
      Presented in an ethereal, psychedelic colorism.
      Maybe I didn't understand the mood that director Jiamusu wanted to express. But there is an indescribable love from the bottom of my heart.
      Johnny Depp, the shy, timid scumbag who just came on stage, when he took off his glasses and added his signature alluring moustache, he turned...

      what do you say

      Some films, you know are good things, but you can't really engage. For example, this film, I really like the world that it creates like another space, those mechanical and black and white light and shadow effects, the artist should be very good. But even after reading it, I don't think it's amazing. I've been thinking and thinking about death, hallucinations, etc., and I really can't connect.
      The music is very good. To be honest, I even looked forward to the first half, but then I felt it...

      Allegory of life and death

      "Every night, every morning, some people are destined to be miserable. Every night, every morning, some people are destined to be happy."
                                             ——[Leaving Soul]

      Slow, ethereal, desolate, and fragmented. The soul wanders west, life becomes simple, fragile, death so easy. From the moment you set foot on this road, it is like the last canoe that lies down, there is no turning back, you can only escape, and you can only kill....

      If anyone finds something, just say it

      If someone really found something in this world, they might as well just say it. Unless being cryptic is the only way to get you to pretend to be B.
      Skills, names, genres, have nothing to do with me. When I watch movies, I focus more on what I feel or gain from the eyes of others.
      I got nothing for this movie.
      Of course, I agree that some films are made to open up people's imagination, but I can only say that after all, I have no sympathy for this type of "pretending to be high...

      The master of metaphysics knelt down. The counterattack of the Indian native nature, mystery, and the force of death, for the American continent, which is about to embark on the road of industrialization, for capital factory owners, and for cowboys. It is the counterattack of non-mainstream culture against the general trend of mainstream culture. Meet the English poet William Blake....

      A man who was doomed to death (he was hunted down by the whole town with a huge reward in a closed town), escaped from gunshot wounds, and encountered the help of the Indians who were on the verge of death. (Not just escaping, but raising the gun to fight back), and finally obtained the soul's freedom. Death exists anytime and anywhere (3 killers and nameless all died suddenly), and the sublimation of the soul depends on the tempering of...

    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. (Comment on "Interpretation of Chinese and Foreign Contemporary Film Masterpieces") 
    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...
