      William Blake: What is your name?

      Nobody: My name is Nobody.

      William Blake: Excuse me?

      Nobody: My name is Exaybachay. He Who Talks Loud, Saying Nothing.

    Filmed Poetry
    Jim Jarmusch is one of my favorite directors, and Dead Man is probably the greatest work he has ever done. Very rarely does a film come alive with a sense of poetry. The only other film I can compare it to would be Wim Wenders' Wings Of Desire. The film moves like a dream, floating and spinning around you. Neil Young's electric score churns like a ghost train and pushes the film farther. There isn't one performance that is wrong, nor is there ever a false moment. From start to finish this film pulls you into it's dream land, and carries you along on clouds until the finish.
