Title: Riding The Pinto Pony
Review: In World War One, the American troops combined the Irish imagery of death -- Going West -- with the American experience. When a man died he was "riding the pinto pony." In "Dead Man," we ride that pony. Elegantly filmed, beautifully acted. You will either love this movie or hate it. If you hate it, you will be maddened because you didn't get it. Put it away, and try not to think about it.. If you love it, you will watch it repeatedly, and its voice will grow with every viewing. Measured, hypnotic, and very true to the West that faded away at last in 1970. The characters are familiar from life, but they are cursed with complete freedom, and they all have guns. The score will either pull your nerves out, one-by-one -- or you will not be able to get it out of your head.
