William Blake travels to the extreme western frontiers of America sometime in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Everything works together perfectly in this film – the tone, the look, the sound, the actors, the story – yet it’s also one of those films where I know that each time I revisit it I’ll see something or feel something I hadn’t before. Dead Man is the story of a young man's journey, both physically and spiritually, into very unfamiliar terrain.

In this scene: William Blake (Johnny Depp), Nobody (Gary Farmer), Cole Wilson (Lance Henriksen). Once he gets to the office, he finds out in no uncertain terms that they have no idea who he is, haven’t hired him for the job and, from there on out, like Alice through the looking glass, he meets many strange, eccentric characters, some wonderful (Nobody – the American Indian outcast who befriends him through the movie and is convinced that he is William Blake, the poet; a set of three fur-trappers that are absolutely hilarious and a little “too friendly” with William Blake) and some out to do him harm (namely the three bounty hunters hired to get Blake back, dead or alive, and thus the title of the film).

The story, with Nobody's help, leads William Blake through situations that are in turn comical and violent. Set in the lawless world of the Old West, 'Dead Men' follows the path of a young man forced on a journey to avenge the death of this father, protect the Apache tribe he has grown to love and reclaim the land and gold that is rightfully theirs. Rent Dead Man's Shoes (2004) starring Paddy Considine and Gary Stretch on DVD and Blu-ray. The only problem I had was John Hurt, I would flash back to him as Mr. Ollivander from Harry Potter. There would have been no laws governing tobacco use by minors at the time this movie was set, and persons as young as nine or ten might have smoked or chewed tobacco without raising much comment other than that tobacco was considered a bad habit in the young. Its characters are life-and-blood people and there are no fantasy or surrealistic elements (a la Bunuel or Lynch). Blake gets to the town and, based on what he sees walking to the office, understands that this is far from what he’s used to back in Cleveland. The bonus is seeing Iggy Pop in his get-up; who knew the man could act? 14 October 2020 It is as though he passes through the surface of a mirror, and emerges into a previously-unknown world that exists on the other side. There’s also a humorous overtone to the whole film (Nobody to Depp, when he first meets him – “what’s your name, stupid white man?”) though the ending is so poignant and moving, I hover between a 4 and 5 based on that. Contrary to his nature, circumstances transform Blake into a hunted outlaw, a killer, and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away. While the three bounty hunters are waiting in the office, Conway asks Johnny for tobacco, then dismissively says that Johnny isn't even old enough to smoke. What an odd pair — but it works. First Cow – Review, 26 April 2020 William Blake travels to the extreme western frontiers of America sometime in the 2nd half of the 19th century. It is as though he passes through the surface of a mirror, and emerges into a previously-unknown world that exists on the other side. The thought that Johnny was too young to smoke should not have even crossed Conway's mind. In this scene: William Blake (Johnny Depp), Nobody (Gary Farmer), Cole Wilson (Lance Henriksen), Conway Twill (Michael Wincott), Nobody tells William the fantastical tale of his life and travels. Review: I am not sure why I liked this movie, it is so not my cup of tea but there was something about the characters, music, scenery, etc that was mesmerizing. Jarmusch packs the film with an unlikely collection of castmates, including Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, John Hurt and Robert Mitchum in one of his last roles. Blake's nemesis is played by Lance Henriksen as a terse cannibalistic bounty hunter. Adventure, Drama, Fantasy. In between the Set Production Assistants and First Assistant Editor is the "Hangin'-out Guy," Nemo Labrizzi. Bookmark the permalink. Neil Young wrote and performed the score. Dead Man NETFLIX SYNOPSIS: Only Jim Jarmusch could direct a Western like this: A poetry-loving American Indian mistakes accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) for the English writer of the same name, while bounty hunters take Blake for a murderer.Jarmusch packs the film with an unlikely collection of castmates, including Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, John Hurt and Robert Mitchum in one of his … John takes out a $500 bounty and also hires three men to kill Blake, Cole Wilson, Conway Twill, and Johnny ‘The Kid’ Pickett. (It is also possible that Conway was simply commenting on how extremely young Johnny is in general--that he's too young even to have picked up such a habit.). John Dickinson, Blake’s perceived employer, also happens to be the dead man’s father. First of all, you have to be a Jarmusch fan. Delightful cameos include Robert Mitchum, Crispin Glover, Gabriel Byrne, John Heard and others. I only saw it once, but at the end of it, I knew I wanted to see it again. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that the characters in the movie act like they’re inside a poem, a very cool poem.
