hope: Art of a woman writing from tour poster (i'm gay. so sue me.)
i am developing a fascination with this certain movie/fiction plot that i've seen appear in a few films of late. it's weird. not particularly a filmic theme, or should i say: not my usual theme that i love in films (ie. the recycling/self-referential postmodern theme). this one is more philosophical/existentialist one. ANYWAY.

three films: dead man, man on fire, the bourne identity. what do these three have in common? at some point relatively early in the film, the protagonist dies. the rest of the film is about what happens to them after that. Read more... )


anyway, it's late, i'm tired, i've been watching too many movies and can't be very coherent. just thinking aloud.

anyone have any other films they think fit the same pattern that they can recommend me?
