Social Issues In Dead Man

Man, because the people that live in this town kill everything without hesitating. These where the main names that the director played with in Dead Man, as they helped him in sculpturing his mocking statue of the western American movies.
As mentioned before, Dead man was produced to mock many aspects that existed in the American western films. Jim Jarmusch conveyed his message to his audience by using the main social aspects that were in the Nineteenth century America, such as stereotyping women, smoking tobacco, and death. The moment Blake enters the town of machine, one of the first things he sees is a woman having intercourse with a man, the second time is when he meets the woman outside the bar, he is invited to sleep with her although

In fact, death is the main theme of the film, as if the director was trying to say that (no matter how much the western American movies try to change the plots of their movies, they are always connected to murderer and killing).
