For ages I've been meaning to watch Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man (1995), in which Johnny Depp plays the main character. It's pretty… interesting…? how Dead Man is considered to be very good in its representation of Indigenous people, especially for a film not directed by an Indigenous person^[I only first became aware of Dead Man because clips of it are used in the music video for The Halluci Nation's "Electric Pow Wow Drum", which also samples audio from the film.]; and then not even twenty years later, Johnny Depp went on to don redface as Tonto in Disney's The Lone Ranger (2013), which was, uhh, not as good representation?
