Dead Man

Has anyone else watched this and what was your taughts on it. I have loved this movie for years but anytime i ask anyone they hated it. It looks fantastic and the music is fantastic.
Incase people have not heard of it its a black and white movie based in the old west. It follows Bill Blake (Johnny Depp) to a small backward town where he is promised a job but when he arrives the job has been taken. He is mistaken by an indian for poet William Blake. The fact the film is shot in black and white brings so much more atmosphere to it.

It's pretty good, a little too absurd at times.

Shame about the ending really, and it's too knowing and pretentious.
Looks great though, Depp is always a fascinating watch and the violence by Lance's character is hardcore.
