Travel with A Dead Man
Coby 2022-03-23 09:01:55
A man who was doomed to death (he was hunted down by the whole town with a huge bounty 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 experience. This is what I understand the film is about. The process seems laborious, with two-line narration, slow rhythm, and enduring esoteric whispers along the way (William Black also bursts out, "I didn't understand a word from the beginning!"), Johnny Depp Constantly unconscious and awake, looking for glasses, walking two steps on horseback and then falling into a coma, the camera kept the close-up of the face, there is no funny plot that Jiamusu often has, there is no subtle dialogue, it seems extremely boring and deep, but it is him. The most straightforward film that expresses the main theme - inevitable death, redemption and sublimation of the soul. At first, I was surprised that the male protagonist was Johnny Depp. If you think about it, if it were Tom Waits or John Laurie, it would be a completely different style. This movie with a dark theme is indeed Only he can bring out that gloomy goth vibe - "It is preferable not to travel with a dead man.", but in fact we all made it.

Nobody: I was then taken east, in a cage. I was taken to Toronto. Then Philadelphia. And then to New York. And each time I arrived at another city, somehow the white men had moved all their people there ahead of me. Each new city contained the same white people as the last, and I could not understand how a whole city of people could be moved so quickly.
