    Jarmusch's audio-visual language: 1. The use of a single traverse long shot brings a follow-up perspective with the characters, thereby expressing the psychology of the characters more directly. 2. For clips that fade in and out, there will often be three to five seconds of black screen time in the middle to eliminate the montage effect. 3, the extremely simple composition form. Narrative passages tend to be fixed shots. These minimalist image features discard all unnecessary elements that...

    The Jiamusu-style literary fan must be done enough. To stick to the morality of the past is to live in the past, miss the past, the rights will change, and the spirit will always be...

    Mark wanted to see it for two years, and the reason for the mark was forgotten at that time. Not only Bushido, but also Rashomon? Is this really based on the samurai spirit? There is no need to cook all kinds of things. Melville, who is also a senior French director, was influenced by Japan to integrate the spirit into the noir film, rather than relying on large lines and props to make people feel the spirit. The figuration of the spirit does not require external decoration or borders, and...

    8/10 Second Jarmusch. It's a very pretentious movie. It seems a little annoying to use narration and text to separate it, but I just eat his whole set. The transitions are elegant and the soundtrack is cool and handsome, and it also has a strong sense of form, both retro and retro. There are also the attributes of the trend, whether it is the character form or the core theme. Several gunfight scenes are not contrived, they are in the right taste, especially the scene where the water pipe is...

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai quotes

  • [first lines]

    Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears, and swords. Being carried away by surging waves. Being thrown into the midst of a great fire. Being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake. Falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease, or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day, without fail, one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai.

  • Ghost Dog: It is bad when one thing becomes two. One should not look for anything else in the Way of the Samurai. It is the same for anything that is called a Way. If one understands things in this manner, he should be able to hear about all ways and be more and more in accord with his own.
