Looking over the site the other day, I realized there are no discussions about Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, the movie. I think there has been references to it in several essays, but I would love to have someone take an in-depth look at the movie and how it fits into the series and/or if it added anything new.
Interested? Send away! Submission guidelines are here.
And, again, thank you all for your support!

I think a good idea for an essay would be about the similarities between Vincent and Spike.
BTW, I love your site!

Hmmm. I might write an essay supporting the theory that it’s a dream.

Thanks for the comment, Chris! That would be a good subject.
I’ve heard the theory before, about KoHD being all a dream. I don’t think I buy into it, but it would be interesting to read about why some viewers feel that way. Certainly dreams are a major theme in this series.

The show was dominated by melancholy, nostalgy, alienation, etc. Dreams of a past long gone. Although the characters in the show seemed to a have a great time, they are just pretending to live, when their real existence ended a long time ago.That’s why Spike, Jet and Faye always talk to each other with cool one-liners, instead of real dialogue, where they can express their thougts, feelings. And this thing is easily seen in the animation: it depicts loneliness (Jupiter Jazz), a fake world (Honky Tonk Women), and although it seems atractive, it realy has anything more to say. Everything is over. While the movie is the opposite: it’s full of life. THe animation makes a holly different emotional impact. Everything is so detailed, it’s realistic and has a noir-touch in the night scenes (but not gritty like Blade Runner), where it may be dark, but You’re never lonely (look at the long-shot of the convenience store in the opening). It’s a very cosmopolite world. It also has a very nostalgic, warm feel (when Spike and Jet are standing on the shore, looking at the sunset), but it suggests that life goes on, and You should face it. And the characters, for the first time,behave like true adults, and live the life their living. In the show, they had no purpose, no reason to go on. Here, they get emotionally involved (Spike and Electra, Electra and Vincent, VIncent and Faye, Faye and Jet at the end), they don’t just want to collect a bounty. Everything feels organic and lively, not sedated like in the series.
