Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

Years later, Ghost Dog remains one of my favorite films. Here Jim Jarmusch manages to take up and contextualise the ethics of the samurai, the importance of following, in a modern key one's own nature, without damaging that of others. There couldn't be a better performer than Forest Whitaker. The end is important in all things.

I loved this movie. It is original because it mixes rap-gangsta style with samuraï readings and quotes. Forest Whitaker performance is awesome maintaining something special and mysterious about the character (like Ryan Gosling on Drive). Wu-Tang music fits specially well. I recommend.

Hypnotic as well as entertaining.

Cool as hell. Whitaker is quite the coolheaded badass as he drifts through contract killings, adhering to his code. The film is full of quirky, interesting characters, a great score, some really funny moments, and style to spare.

Quite excellent. I will have to ruminate on it for a few days to really know what I'll make of it. But it sure sets a mood, and definitely works best in a theatre. It's the kind of movie where the way you walk out of the cinema is different from when you were walking in, and your eyes and ears pick up different parts of the world than before.

heard a lot Wu-Tang in the movie

Precursor of this mental illness that the left has been spreading for 20 years.

The anti-John Wick. Not the typical hitman movie. The mixture of black culture and samurai tradition makes it special.

Lazy-eye Samurai FTW!
