'When?' said the moon to the stars in the
sky'Soon' said the wind that followed them

all'Who?' said the cloud that started to cry'Me
' said the rider as dry as a bone'How

?' said the sun that melted the ground and'Why
?' said the river that refused to run and'Where

?' said the thunder without a sound'Here
' said the rider and took up his gun'No

' said the stars to the moon in the
sky'No' said the trees that started to moan'No

' said the dust that blunted its eyes'Yes
' said the rider as white as a bone'No

' said the moon that rose from his sleep'No
'said the cry of the dying

sun'No' said the planet as it started to weep
'Yes' said the rider and laid down his gun. The



poem-like western
plot, soundtrack, dialogue, and narration all reveal the tune of Nick Cave.


Adieu, said the bird in the branch of a tree
Farewell, said the snakes to the dying light
Adieu, said the fish in the river of sleep
Goodbye, said the rider,"Goodbye and good night"

    Is it love or violence, to convey this feeling, Hillcoat cuts from the big vision to the close-up, half-butcher, half-human imagery fills the foreground, part of the picture allows to imagine the worst possible, switching from the very good to the Very scary picture. The juxtaposition of various images ensures that the audience must be afraid when violence occurs.
