First saw this film on a tiny TV. It was past my bedtime, and I had no idea what the film was when it came on. My GF was sleeping in the same room and I watched it in the dark. I was immediately hypnotized by the music and images, and had absolutely no concept of my surroundings until it was over.

Turned out to be the most important film I had watched and probably ever will. I'm thinking about its meaning 'til this day, and it has helped define the way I see the world. There is another video on YT, a documentary about the struggles of a Mohawk tribe up in Canada. It's called Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance. Here is a quote from 2 of the comments:

- arthur soctomah says: "Proud people rise up. Refuse. Resist."

- Missikech Kechqua replies: "Remain. Survive safely away as this gluttonous beast will eat it's own then consume itself. The oral traditions of many different tribes are fraught with bad times and monsters that the people have survived. Rise up? To starve this beast is our destiny." Is this relevant? You be the judge.

Dead Man is the story of a young man's journey, both physically and spiritually, into very unfamiliar terrain. William Blake travels to the extreme western frontiers of America sometime in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Lost and badly wounded, he encounters a very odd, outcast Native American, named "Nobody," who believes Blake is actually the dead English poet of the same name.

The story, with Nobody's help, leads William Blake through situations that are in turn comical and violent. Contrary to his nature, circumstances transform Blake into a hunted outlaw, a killer, and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away. Thrown into a world that is cruel and chaotic, his eyes are opened to the fragility that defines the realm of the living. It is as though he passes through the surface of a mirror, and emerges into a previously-unknown world that exists on the other side.
