Review of Dead Man (1995) by Conner R — 21 Jul 2010
It's a very good movie, but I can't say that it's one of my favorites. The real flaw of this movie is the typical "Miramax Art House" it has and the overly quirky comedy that comes along with it.
However, once it gets going it becomes a very original and interesting Western. I find it interesting that most of the movie centers around a man slowly dying and becoming more and more connected with the spirit world.
The characters and performances in this really sell it, Johnny Depp as "the other" William Blake has a very large bit of character development. He goes from an accountant to an outlaw over the course of the story.
I really liked the traditional Black and White look, it reminded me a lot of why John Ford chose to make The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance the same way.
