IMDB
My Rating: 7/10
The images are hauntingly beautiful. At the start of the film, I'm pretty sure Jim Jarmusch stole parts of the beginning from Kafka's The Castle. Instead of exploring the mysteries of bureaucracy, he chose to explore the mysterious wild wild west. Neil Young's soundtrack music added another depth and layer to the film. Johnny Depp's acting is great, kind of like scissor-hand Edward, a modestly awkward or awkwardly modest guy. I like him better when he's crazier. Perhaps, the film is a bit too ambiguous for me to figure out what's the point of it. Probably not much, just another Jim-Jarmusch-style comedy.
