You Will Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger: What else could Woody be talking about?

Death, of course. To be fair, he is not always doing movies about death directly, but they are usually about the unstructured nature of life and the lack of control we have over life and death. Save 'Sweet and Lowdown' which was about regret (and his best film yet). Anyway, Stranger was interesting, but nothing new. The characters became slightly obnoxious about halfway through, and thats about the time you are thinking you get the point. new to his movies was the topic of fortune-telling/psychics. And how absolutely looney is but really what difference does it make if you base your actions on whether the planets are aligned correctly or your "gut" feeling or what your dog advises, or how much money you have in the bank. Either way, you don't know how any decision will turn out and you die in the end. Not a dark thought but a real one. I like that about Woody.
