i’m just about to take amtrak on a long, slow journey from sacramento to santa barbara, california. i often think about this movie, especially this time of year: a time (for me) of trains, the western frontier, thankstaking...
dead man is one of my all-time favorite films. if i were going to make a top-10 list, it would most definitely be on it.
greil marcus, the music & culture critic, once wrote an article for salon called “Dead Again: Here are 10 reasons why ‘Dead Man’ is the best movie of the end of the 20th century.” i’d have to agree with him on that matter.
the music video/montage i’ve embedded here features the title track for the movie by neil young. his is such an amazing score. this is the best song, but, appropriately enough, it’s not included on the soundtrack album for the film, which is still worth owning.
time to pack my bags...
