Young black killers, against white old gangsters. The pace of the story is slow, but the killing is neat.
A worthwhile killer movie, in addition to the old routine of chasing cars, exploding, flying bullets, and spilling blood, this film provides another interesting visual element: pigeons delivering messages, sewer murders, ice cream trucks, There are also trembling old gangsters, rebellious Taimei, decisive killers, the last Bushido and gangster spirit, black culture, and the poison...

[Last Film I Watched] Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) 7.7/10
Conflating the samurai tenet within a tailing-off gangster underworld in an unnamed USA city, Jim Jarmusch's version of LE SAMOURAI is profoundly branded with his idiosyncrasies: a nocturnal urban topography tinged with retro-flair and bleakness (mostly seen behind the wheels), a vibrating, mind-bending, killer soundtrack (courtesy to RZA), aperversity and absurdity presiding over the turn of events...

When the answer is from the East, everything can be explained
This kind of rambunctious, coercive and cool movie style is still very useful. It is hard to guess how the director understands Japanese Bushido. Personally, I feel that the director regards this as a simple symbol, which seems to be about the spirit of Bushido. I haven't elaborated too much. Of course, I don't know the spirit of Bushido. It's just from the performance in the movie. The director is using the mysterious power from the East to represent the character of the character. Loneliness,...

At the beginning of my watching ,i was almost totally to be made to think that this movie is produced by Quentin Tarantino.It's so obviously similar to sinister-gang's style productions of Mr.Tarantino.
Sinister gang + copious lins + disordered clues +orient cultural element=philosophic meditation
All these important elements consist a fantastic particualr story and an independent role who sticks to his illusion and his conviction. A weak power resists the world-wild's...

After the details were omitted, the film unfolded in front of my eyes like this: After
reading the book, the killer "Ghost Dog" who taught himself Bushido annihilated the target, picked up the book of the witness girl and went home to read it. He killed again, and it happened that she was sitting next to the victim watching cartoons, so he told the killer to return the book to her.
On a sunny afternoon, when the ghost dog was eating ice in the park, the...

"Samurai" with guns, black people who adhere to the spirit of Bushido, the world is one. Bird's eye shot with multiple...

The beginning part uses a lot of new wave-like language and suddenly jumps into something, and there are a lot of superimposed paintings that look very retro... But this movie looks a bit...

Jarmusch's most classical and well-structured film is also one of the most unconventional and eccentric. 1. See also Director Jia's immigration complex and cross-cultural juxtaposition: the black American killer who believes in Bushido, loves reading, insists on flying pigeons to pass books, and puts a hip-hop record on every time he drives, which is also closely related to [Lone Killer]. 2. Multilingual jokes are inherited from [Earth Night] (speaking French wildly while friends are dazed and...

The way of serving is the way of death, so you should cultivate the thought of death every day. When your body and mind are relaxed, you should meditate, be smashed by bullets, swept away by huge waves, burned by fire, struck by thunderbolts, buried in landslides and rocks, and fall. Entering the abyss of ten thousand feet, dying of disease or incising the abdomen with the master, every day without interruption, it is considered that one is dead. This is the essence of serving the...
Louie: It's a pigeon. It must be a carrier pigeon or whatever.
Old Consigliere: Passenger pigeon! They've been extinct since 1914!
Sonny Valerio: Am I fucking dreaming here or what? All right, Louie, forget about the bird, okay?
Samurai in Camouflage: Ghost Dog, power, equality.
Ghost Dog: Always see everything, my brother.
Ray Vargo: Did you try to follow the bird? Put a bug on it? Anything like that?
Louie: No, I never had a reason to do anything like that. Like I said I realize that the arrangement I made with this guy is pretty weird, but he's always shown me complete respect.
Sonny Valerio: Well, a whole new century is coming, Louie, and Mr. Vargo wants every member of his family to make a priority to erase this weirdo.
Louie: This guy is a professional. Go after him can be very dangerous.
Sonny Valerio: Handsome Frank was one of us so now we're gonna peel this nigger cap back. Better him than you, right Louie?
