    On the run after murdering a man accountant william blake encounters a strange indian named nobody who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 09/07/2004 Starring: Johnny Depp Crispin Glover Run time: 121 minutes Rating: R

    Amazon.com
    This disappointment from Jim Jarmusch stars Johnny Depp in a mystery-Western about a 19th-century accountant named William Blake, who spends nearly all his money getting to a hellish mud town in the old West and ends up penniless and doomstruck in the wilderness. A benevolent if goofy Native American (Gary Farmer) takes an interest in guiding Blake on a quest for identity in his earthly journey, but the film is really just a string of endless shtick about inbred woodsmen, dumb lawmen, and a trio of irritable killers. With Robert Mitchum, Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, Alfred Molina, and a noodling soundtrack by Neil Young. --Tom Keogh

    I found this movie a little more mysterious than I think it intended to be. Johnny Depp is strangely flat, and some of the plot points went past me. But the black and white cinematography is never less than striking, particularly a scene of Depp and his Indian cohort riding pinto ponies through a forest of ferns.


    5 out of 5 stars Follow The Leader   June 25, 2009
    steve (san antonio, tx)
    Its a journey of innocence into guilt by association with the world that too often corrupts those who are often caught up in it. The machine of technological superiority that creates but often destroys manned by the cog players is at its most decisive when encountering challenges. Surreal realism and black and white effects with a wandering soundtrack like a minds thoughts create a truer feeling than most westerns and these characters are certainly more true to human nature than is often seen. Its depicts raw in your face similarities and differences between the european and indian cultural clash. Its also a story of reflection and forgiveness between two of different cultures who become friends in the end. Is this all some circular dream that this guy is having as a spirit or a soul? Is he ever really alive or dead? Its all hard to tell but that is what makes for much speculation and interest. Steve

    With Johnny Depp and Bob Mitchum in the cast, it makes me wonder who owed whom a favor to get them on board this excersise in bad writing, poor directing and even poorer editing. Cinematography wise, nice job. Save your money unless you are a fan of bad attempts at making a bad art film.


    5 out of 5 stars DEAD MAN * * * Johnny Depp   April 29, 2009
    Marie Murphy

    Odd, unique, a cult classic ! I loved it. My husband let a friend at work borrow it. He thought he would like it

    as he is half American Indian. He loved it. He asked if he could borrow it again because he wanted to see it

    a second time. Another co-worker borrowed it and he loved it.

    I found out about this movie while watching a Neil Young TV interview on a website. The producer or

    director of the movie asked Neil Young to do an instrumental soundtrack through the whole movie.

    Of course Neil was putting himself down and saying things like "You really don't need music in this

    film. It would be just perfect as a silent film ".



    3 out of 5 stars Stick with this hypnotic film   April 10, 2009

    Johnny Depp and Jim Jarmusch are ideal collaborators. Both come up with such eccentric ideas that work more often than not. "Dead Man" is proof of both men's twisted genius. Things start out painfully slow, so a fair amount of patience is required. Bill Blake (Depp), an accountant from Cleveland, is boarding a train for the town of Machine. He has just been hired by Old Man Dickinson (Robert Mitchum) to work in his steel mill. Blake's parents are recently deceased, his fiance ran out on him, and he used his last penny to buy a horrible suit and train ticket to get to Machine. He is looking for a fresh start. When Blake arrives at the steel mill he learns that due to a mailing error the accounting position has already been filled. Blake is furious and when he demands to speak with Dickinson he is chased out by the old man himself with a shotgun. Things don't get any better for Blake. By the end of the night he will be fatally wounded in a gunfight and wrongfully accused of a double murder which includes Dickinson's son (Gabriel Byrne). Three bounty hunters (Lance Henriksen, Michael Wincott, and Eugene Byrd) have been hired by Dickinson to bring Blake in. The only relief Blake finds is an Indian named Nobody (Gary Farmer), who tends to his wounds and offers him spiritual enlightenment. Nobody promises Blake that he will help him get back to where he came from. Through the character of Nobody Jarmusch unleashes this film's dark, dark, wit. Nobody is constantly putting down the "stupid white man" and his scenes with Depp are brilliant. These two actors have an unexpected team work and play off each other beautifully. Nobody is also the film's conscience as he tries to teach Blake about spirituality and quotes endlessly the real William Blake's' poetry. I haven't even gotten to Billy Bob Thornton, Iggy Pop in drag, or the brain smashing, and cannibalism that Jarmusch also sees fit to throw in. It is a film well worth taking a chance on. In addition to all the weirdness you are rewarded with hypnotic black and white images from Robby Mueller and a thrashing and moody electric score from Neil Young. A minor masterpiece.
