Dead Man-a few notes

Things that are alike, grow to look alike. Not only does the quote from the beginning tell about the end when Blake is in the boat there are a couple of other times that stuck out.
-William Blake smears the fawn's blood on his forehead and lays down next to the fawn as the camera circles and he looks at the clouds (in class while watching it was suggested this is the midpoint of the movie where the beginning and end mirror)
-Nobody is an innocent(ignorant) like William Blake when he tells how he went on tour and in every town everyone loooked the same, which confused him how everyone could be moved that fast

Nobody tells Blake that you can't stay the clouds with the building of a ship-stuck in my mind because Dr. Sexson was talking about New World the class before we watched Dead Man. Some native accounts of Europeans arriving described the sails of the ships as clouds


When Arnold (Gary Farmer) asks Victor of who is his favorite Indian, Victor replies 'nobody' which makes Arnold furious. Interesting to note though, is the fact that the name of Gary Farmer's character in Dead Man (1995) is 'Nobody'. -from imdb.com
