The Rider Song is from the ending of the movie The Proposition (2005). This song leads into the end credits after a cry-your-eyes-out climax. The Rider is Charlie Burns. The sheriff gives him a proposition to kill his violent older brother to save himself and his younger brother. The movie has you wondering "When?" and you know the time is "Soon." "Who" will commit this violent act? "Me" said The Rider who is dry as a bone because this is the 1880s Australia outback, dry and dusty which is emphasized from the opening scene. Nature asks "How?" "Why?" and "Where?" and The Rider (Charlie) says "Here." In the movie in that moment he takes up his gun and says to his brother Arthur "No more." No more of your violence. All the elements of nature plead with him not to violate nature and kill his brother. "No" say the stars. How utterly against nature to kill one's very brother. The very trees moan. Even the ever-present dust that blinds his eyes pleads "No." "Yes" says The Rider as he did decide that he would kill his brother. He is white as a bone because this moment is climactic yet utterly tragic at the same time. The moon rises from its sleep and feels that emotion and sadness, saying "No." The entire planet weeps as brother kills brother. --- If you want another movie with a Nick Cave soundtrack that will make you cry your eyes out, highly recommend the work of art that is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) with Brad Pitt, and Ridley Scott is one of the producers. |

@[infinityontrial:53969] The Rider Song is from the ending of the movie The Proposition (2005). The Rider is Charlie Burns. He is white as a bone because he had a mandate to kill his brother. He is dry as a bone because he is The Rider in the 1880s Australia outback. All the elements of nature plead with him not to violate nature and kill his brother. At the end of the movie he lays down his gun, done with all the violence. |
