Gerry (2002 film)
Gerry is a 2002 American drama film directed by Gus Van Sant and starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck, who also co-wrote the film with Van Sant. It is the first film of Van Sant's "Death Trilogy", three films based on deaths that occurred in real life, and is succeeded by Elephant (2003) and Last Days (2005).
Frequently cited as an example of non-narrative cinema, Gerry is noted, among other things, for its slow pacing and unvarying set pieces.
Overview
Gerry follows two hiking companions who both go by the name "Gerry". "Gerry" is also a slang term, used by both protagonists throughout the misadventure, meaning "to screw up". Van Sant revealed in interviews that Damon, Affleck and his brother Ben had already coined the term before the movie had been named.
The film's plot shares some commonalities with the events surrounding the death of David Coughlin, who was killed by his friend after the two became lost in Rattlesnake Canyon in New Mexico.
The film's style was largely inspired by the work of Hungarian director Bela Tarr, namely its use of extended scenes playing out in uncut master shots. There are a few direct visual quotations from Tarr's Satantango such as a shot following the two protagonists while tumbleweeds blow around them that mimics a shot in Tarr's film where three people walk through a town as a windstorm blows around leaves and trash.

Broken Hero
You've been
Chorus
Torn away
With every breath I seem to fade away
Reliving failed attempts of yesterday
This madness darkening the faith in myself
Chasing the grave just to see if it's real
Don't break the seal
Tearing away from the way from the ones that you love
So far above
Using the pain as another excuse
For more abuse
I won't listen to your lies
I'll decide this Hell
Demons rise
Deceiving pleasure leaves destruction and death
A dying breath
Breaking the mind hiding all that is real
It's hard to feel
Filled with suffering there's no chance for you to escape
Cast down all your doubts you know where you are now
Losing hope
You've been
Chorus
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
Chorus
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
I ask you one more time if this is the life you want
Living as prey to disease that kills
Losing your will
Longing the day where there's nothing to lose
No one to use
You can't save me from myself
It's up to me
Destruction feeds on the mind that is blind
So far behind
Filled with suffering there's no chance for you to escape
Cast down all your doubts you know where you are now
Falling down, falling deeper
Falling down, falling deeper down
I can't deny
You've been deceived
I've lost my hold
Forever torn away
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
Chorus
I ask you one more time if this is the life you wanted
