Dead Man is the story of a young man's journey, both physically and spiritually, into very unfamiliar terrain. William Blake travels to the extreme western frontiers of America sometime in the second half of the 19th century. Lost and badly wounded, he encounters a very odd, outcast Native American, named "Nobody", who believes Blake is actually the dead English poet of the same name. The story, with Nobody's help, leads William Blake through situations that are in turn comical and violent. Contrary to his nature, circumstances turn Blake into a hunted outlaw, a killer, and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away. Thrown into a world that is cruel and chaotic, his eyes are opened to the fragility that defines the realm of living. 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.

This is an excellent film. It is about a man on a journey to the spiritual world. The soundtrack is Neil Young playing guitar and is filmed entirely in Black & White

Dead Man is the story of a young man's journey, both physically and spiritually, into very unfamiliar terrain. William Blake travels to the extreme western frontiers of America sometime in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Lost and badly wounded, he encounters a very odd, outcast Native American, named "Nobody," who believes Blake is actually the dead English poet of the same name. The story, with Nobody's help, leads William Blake through situations that are in turn comical and violent. Contrary to his nature, circumstances transform Blake into a hunted outlaw, a killer, and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away.

This is one of the most unusual films I have ever seen. The performances are good but the story is hard to grasp. The film is entirely in black and white and although this is generally a good technique you quickly grow tired of it in this film. This film should be seen purely to see Johnny Depp in a western. Although I personly did not like it others may find it to be a masterpiece of a film.

Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man is a strange western, a true original, a kind of metaphorical and metaphysical anti-western about a man who is dead but doesn't know it as he travels through hell (the old west) guided by a tempramental Indian. Hauntingly dreamily beautifulat times, nightmarishly surreal at others and always fascinating.
