The long road to death

I bought a collection of short films "Coffee and Cigarettes" before, but I didn't know that it was also the work of Jia Muxu, a short film about coffee, cigarettes and conversation, but I didn't finish it. This time I bought a collection of Jiamuxu, 4 DVDs: "Earth Night", "Three Blue Moons" (also translated as Mysterious Train), "Leaving Soul" and "Ghost Dog: Road to Ninja". "The Alien" was released in 1995, black and white, starring Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp is certainly a powerful actor. For example, the recent "Pirates of the Caribbean I" has taken the lead in the limelight. The most praised is of course "Edward Scissorhands", the melancholy and kind man-made person. If everyone notices, Glen Lantz, the heroine's boyfriend in "Ghost Street I", will snoring and fall asleep. The man from is Depp. He was really young at that time. When I showed it to others, they didn't believe him, but he was just a supporting role, but he appeared in a lot of photos. There are strong performances in "The Ninth Gate" (also translated as Devil's Notes) and "Chocolate of Love", and they seem to be very handy in terms of horror, art, gunfights, and so on. I watched "Astronaut's Wife" (also translated as Alien Species in Space) when I was very young, but I don't remember that he actually starred in that glorious American astronaut.

Returning to the alien, the beginning of the movie is very interesting. Depp plays William Blake in the film, who has the same name as the 18th-century mystic poet William Blake, sitting in an old-fashioned wood-fueled train, a little nervous. Jamusch highlighted the huge difference between Blake and this place through his clothes. The camera switches between the carriages and the wheels of the train. Every time the carriage is switched, the people in the carriages will change, and the clothes of the newcomers are getting rougher and rougher. The last carriage is all men. Except for Black, everyone has spears. . Whenever I return to the carriage, the music will stop abruptly. There will always be some very indifferent, non-emotional scenery outside the window of the car, such as an empty and tattered carriage. This kind of scenery also appears in the plot behind, these still lifes that no one exists, or are broken, or Burned down, under the black-and-white effect, it seems extremely repellent. At the beginning of the movie, the wood-burner on the train used a very repulsive and almost indifferent tone, and even tried to scare him away to tell him that this is not where he should be. What Blake did when he was in the carriage with the men holding guns as if holding dolls was just holding his suitcase in his arms. I describe so much to the beginning because this movie has predicted Blake’s fate in more than 5 minutes from the beginning of the movie. He will be caught between people who don’t know each other and have no grievances and are forced to hurt each other. And he himself, just like where he wants to go, a terminal and his terminal, but as an accountant Blake, even at the end, he still regards the Indian Nobody as a kind of hope, hoping that this small boat is To send him to his hometown of Cleveland. The appearance of the Indians still appeared under a long-distance pressure. Nobody saved him. This seems to be characteristic of the Indians. They will always pick up lives, but it does not mean that they want to give hope.

When Black arrived at the smelter, he found that there was no accounting position for him. People in the office laughed at him. The boss Dickinson aimed his gun. Dickinson’s office was decorated with either skeletons or a huge upright bear specimen. , Seems to imply that this is a world of survival of the fittest. The safe was opened unsuspectingly, and piles of money were scattered around. Money is just a sign here, just like a stop sign, but just as you can’t just rely on a stop sign to reach your destination, money can only be passed here. It is a sign of wealth, it can't be spent, and it can only play its role when a killer is hired. Then this terminal is like a terminal of mankind, and material things are fragile here. People here live to live and cannot return to the twisted life of nature. The flower girl's intimacy with Blake is to seek a more meaningful and suspicious life yearning. She hopes that one day she can afford to buy cloth to make these flowers, instead of paper flowers, but also sprinkle some French perfume. Blake has found a temporary ethereal one from the flower seller in this seemingly illusory world. Sustenance, but with the appearance of Dickinson’s son, the appearance of jealousy, and the disappearance of life in just a few hours, Blake has embarked on the road to escape without even knowing it. Why did he raise his gun and shoot Dickinson’s son? , Of course very simple, the most primitive needs of mankind and the need for survival forced Black to do so. Dickinson's purpose of hiring a killer became absurd and ridiculous. He demanded that the piebald horse must be retrieved.

After all, Blake is just like a dead person like the name of the movie. The death of his parents consumed all his wealth and rushed here. He has nothing in this ethereal and ethereal world, in fact, he is no different from the dead. In this world, only guns are full of vitality, bullets fly out, and a life dies in the jump. There is also an incomprehensible estrangement between the three killers who tracked Black. Death is just an incident here, so when the black killer killed his parents and cooked them for the legendary killer FUCK YOU, he was shot. And the endless talk of the long-haired assassin also led him to die under the gun of a cannibal, a scene where the cannibal gnawed and ate a cooked human hand. Death has become the best destination here. It seems that what people are waiting for in this sandy world is just a bullet. Black and the Indians met, separated, met again, and finally separated by death, telling us that if people no longer need to think, their actions will become insensitive, and those who follow the wanted order of $500 prove this. Black's path to death became more convincing as he shot others. The misunderstanding of the Indians misunderstood him as the poet William Blake he once admired and pinned Blake and Accountant Blake on the death warrant like a comedy.

What is life? The Indians told Black that there is no need to eat. The soul's home is floating in the vast sea. The cannibals and the Indians are knocking down to the ground. Everything is waiting for death. Without crying, begging for mercy, fear, Black went from being cautious and subtle to hopelessly thirsting for survival. Only Black is eager to survive, and only Black leaves us an end without a full stop. Black and white photography highlights the desolation unique to the west. There is an irreparable distance between people here. Getting farther and farther, death, black and white death, is the only way to bring them closer. The primitive tribe in Blake’s dazzling eyes is like a paradise painted with the desolate colors of the west, and the endless sea embellishes Blake’s ultimate death in a small stroke.

Dead Man quotes

  • Nobody: I was then taken east, in a cage. I was taken to Toronto. Then Philadelphia. And then to New York. And each time I arrived at another city, somehow the white men had moved all their people there ahead of me. Each new city contained the same white people as the last, and I could not understand how a whole city of people could be moved so quickly.

  • Nobody: That weapon will replace your tongue. You will learn to speak through it. And your poetry will now be written with blood.
