Why Jarmusch can't tell the story of "death"

Why can't Jarmusch tell the story of "death"?

1. The sense of nothingness that dissolves in the blood.

Death is a feast. Death means - "to have".
When a person dies, his life is frozen for him, and all the accumulation of life is no longer reintegrated because of the next second encounter. For example, after a man dies, his wife gets married, but for a dead man, he has a love with a woman that will last forever.
Death is a grand gift. And Jiamusu, who is familiar with the sense of nothingness, was surprised by such a rich gift.

2. The intersection of sorrow and joy

is like the four words left by Master Hongyi before his death: the intersection of sorrow and joy. This is death. However, Jarmusch only vaguely felt the mystery of death, such as the sky seen by the sleeping boat, such as the tobacco that is always unavailable (in addition, the American writer Erskine Caldwell's book "Tobacco Road" may be related to the This use is related. His works are based on the ignorance, backwardness, miserable life of the poor whites in the southern United States, and the racial persecution of blacks, with more exposure, sometimes with some naturalistic brush and ink.) But Jarmusch's thoughts on death Understanding is a hunt and doomed to die. He didn't know where the sadness came from, and he didn't even know what joy was.

Therefore, Jarmusch was so excited on a topic so informative that he was confused. So I think, Jarmusch failed.

Pat on the shoulder, everyone has different life attributes, and every director is no exception.
You are Jarmusch, you are not Bergman.

    Usually a drama film will have a reason to push the plot forward, this film is very nonsensical and there are not so many reasons. I will feel that many things are inexplicable, such as why depp can suddenly become a marksman, why the Indians have to rescue him repeatedly, etc. There are too many questions. It seems to be a stream of consciousness, but the director buried various metaphorical connotations on the ground. A seemingly fantastic adventure is actually a poem and a fable.

    Every Night & every Morn Some to Misery are Born. Every Night & every Morn Some are Born to sweet delight. Some are Born to sweet delight, Some are Born to Endless Night.
