My top Ten 90's movies continued. My small review of Dead Man(1995) My Take


One more movie in to honorable list.


Dead Man(1995)



Dead man is another good movie from true independent director Jim Jarmusch. Brief plot is about a timid, highly civilized clerk William Black (Johnny depp) is heading to the west to take up a carrier in the Wild West. After endless long journey, when he finally reaches, he discovers that his job was filled already. Feeling rejected, he ends up with a prostitute for the night. But he was interrupted in the mid-night by prostitute finance & he kills her & wounds William. During the struggle, William kills the finance who is happens to be the town head’s son. Knowing the sons death, head hires bunch of wild guys to finish the William. After the shootout, without treating his injuries, runs away from the scene in to the wild west where he meets with an Indian named Nobody & continues his journey until his ending. It is another low cost black & white movie shot in mid 90’s on purpose. You will amazing black & white cinematography and simple and yet effective background guitar score by Neil young and Jarmush’s style of story telling stick’s its own lasting impression in the audience mind. Story was little convoluted & bit lengthily but a true classic and utterly poetic in nature. There are few movies which I like more after repeated viewing. This is one of them for me.
