- Dead Man is a 1995 American Western film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. It stars Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Billy Bob Thornton, Iggy Pop, Crispin Glover, John Hurt, Michael Wincott, Lance Henriksen, and Robert Mitchum (in his final role). The film, dubbed an "Acid Western" by its director, includes twisted elements of the Western genre. The film is shot entirely in black-and-white. Some consider it the ultimate postmodern Western, and related to postmodern literature such as Cormac McCarthy's novel, Blood Meridian.

Crispin Glover awesome acting.
The beauty is in the horror....the horror is in the beauty. Such a dichotomy and opposing views...parallel worlds colliding and the experience depends on the viewpoint. Amazing movie.
Best film ever.
0:31 pretty much sums up why the part of Crispin Glover's eyebrows mysteriously dissapeared somewhere in the mid-late 90's
That is hilarious.
I loved this movie. But I wonder how it would've turned out if Crispin Glover played Blake. It might've made the story darker.
"A long journey & dark thro' Chaos in the track of Milton's course,
To where the Contraries of Beulah War beneath Negations Banner.
Then View'd from Milton's Track they see the Ulro, a vast Polypus
Of living fibres down into the Sea of Time & Space"
-William Blake
Il manque un passage important pourquoi?
Has anybody figured out the meaning of the monologue from 2:13 to 2:52?
It seems like a foreshadowing for Depp's character I think.
It foreshadows the entire film. Blake has no attachment, he is a wanderer, he is rejected by society ("she found herself somebody else").
The Dickinsons out in the town of Machine are not to be trusted and neither their "pieces of paper" (e.g western values and western civilisation, western modernity). Blake arrives at a time when native culture is being exterminated (the buffalos). Blake's journey is not only of body but of mind. Note : "Lying looking up at the ceiling and the water in your head was not dissimilar to the landscape" "why is it that the water is moving but the boat is staying still"
Where does Blake end up at the end of the film ? Lying on a boat, looking at the sky.
I hadn't even thought about it before I saw your question and it's not a complete interpretation either but that's the way I understand it.
Blake is already dead; or if he isn't, he might as well be. The trainman is the one taking him to the afterlife.. His parents "passed on recently." The trainman knows far more than he should about his former fiancee - the whole film could be in real life, but also be Blake's afterlife (with Dickinson as the Christian God, the son Blake kills as Jesus, the bounty hunters as devils, and the Indian as a kind of Buddha figure helping Blake to find some kind of redemption).
Machine is the end of the line...physically and metaphorically. The dialogue Yan Faguendes cites from 2:13 is foreshadowing....maybe even a prophecy. It is his guidance in the spirit world to his final resting place and he makes that travel with Nobody.
