      Nobody: My name is Nobody.

      William Blake: Excuse me?

    Magical trip to demise
    What a movie!... didn't want to see it at first.. But, then, when it begins, you take the trip with Blake to the big sea.

    So beatiful pictures, such poetry in every single one of them. Hypnotic black and white scenes, still and vast nature, music that takes you down the other side.

    It's the unconsious trip of one man to death, slowly descending to another level, deeper into nature. Or is he already dead and is not aware of it? Rivers, trees, animals and spirits to guide him along the way. This is a trip to self-knowledge, a hallucinational, sweet and slow resignation from needs and senses.

    Amazing directing, incredible photography and an also amazing Johnny Depp, sunk in his own visions and thoughts, excellent in his portrayal of a man's abdication to parrallel levels of consiousness.

    Thank god there is the indie american film making, that we see such beatiful movies.
