Christopher Doyle, cinematographer, creates visual works of art, as in Hero. An oft used quote from him rings bells with me: “I didn't start making films until I was 34. But that wasted youth was probably the most valuable asset for what I'm doing now. You see the world, you end up in jail three or four times, you accumulate experience. And it gives you something to say. If you don't have anything to say then you shouldn't be making films. It's got nothing to do with what lens you're using.”

David Banner, alone and troubled, moves on to the next town. Every episode had the same closing scenes, and they rolled to the strains of Lonely Man, a haunting theme created by the late Joe Harnell.
