Why can't Jarmusch tell the story of "death"?

1. The sense of nothingness that dissolves in the blood.

Death is a feast. Death means - "to have".
When a person dies, his life is frozen for him, and all the accumulation of life is no longer reintegrated because of the next second encounter. For example, after a man dies, his wife gets married, but for a dead man, he has a love with a woman that will last forever.
Death is a grand gift. And Jiamusu, who is familiar with the sense of nothingness, was surprised by such a rich gift.

2. The intersection of sorrow and joy

is like the four words left by Master Hongyi before his death: the intersection of sorrow and joy. This is death. However, Jarmusch only vaguely felt the mystery of death, such as the sky seen by the sleeping boat, such as the tobacco that is always unavailable (in addition, the American writer Erskine Caldwell's book "Tobacco Road" may be related to the This use is related. His works are based on the ignorance, backwardness, miserable life of the poor whites in the southern United States, and the racial persecution of blacks, with more exposure, sometimes with some naturalistic brush and ink.) But Jarmusch's thoughts on death Understanding is a hunt and doomed to die. He didn't know where the sadness came from, and he didn't even know what joy was.

Therefore, Jarmusch was so excited on a topic so informative that he was confused. So I think, Jarmusch failed.

Pat on the shoulder, everyone has different life attributes, and every director is no exception.
You are Jarmusch, you are not Bergman.

    Literary big stuff! Fortunately, this is not the first time I watched Jamush’s movie. No matter how tender Depp is, he can’t conceal this dull fact. Neil Young played the soundtrack of the electric guitar twice and it was dull and dull. This film is said to be full of metaphors, it is still too difficult for me, and I am incompetent! A good movie is a good movie, and I am more fond of the combination of Jamushu and Laotang!

    In Jarmusch's American Westerns, the distrust and indifference between people are becoming more and more intensified, and the aliens from the soul may only be able to return to the embrace of nature only by dying.
