Dead Man
Recently, I have compiled a little list of what I could watch together with Milkmaster and ended up watching Dead Man.
At the same time, he copied down where the others are:
Blade Runner – 9/6
Adaption – 164/5
Amores Perres – 16/4
L.A. Confidential – 67/4
Capote – 17/5
Fargo – at the desk
Butterfly Effect – 65/8
Idiots – I’ve forgotten that, ugh, but it’s there
Breakfast at Tiffany’s – same
War and Piece – same
And now, there aren’t many Jim Jarmusch movies I haven’t watched yet. To be exact, it’s:
– Stranger than Paradise
– Down by Law and
– Year of the Horse
I’m not particularily interested in the last, but I want to see Stranger than Paradise and Down by Law. If by any chance I end up liking both of them, I will buy the Jim Jarmusch box. If not, well… I’ll buy Coffee & Cigarettes and Mystery Train alone. Maybe also Ghost Dog and Permanent Vacation, but I’m not sure. Ghost Dog is slightly too depressive at the end and Permanent Vacation a bit too… indie XD
To me, Dead Man was a little bit like Babel, just not as controversial: I have no idea what to say about it. There were parts of the movie I absolutely loved – and other parts that utterly bore me.
I loved the funny characters – Sally! Wahahaa! XD The others are great as well – especially the stupid trio. I even ended up liking the slightly sad end and the fact that Nobody died *snif*
Perhaps this is a movie that you will appreciate even more when you watch it a second time (I read that Jim Jarmusch paid very strong attention to the realistic portrait of the native american culture). Maybe I really should buy that damn collection box XD
What more should I say? Oh wait: Johnny Depp’s hair style in the movie was so perfectly random *g*
