A journey of inner purification for a killer, perhaps not a killer at all. Music, movies, sexuality, science, and drugs are all temptations, and reality is ugly. In the end, the "killer" used "imagination" to kill the "reality" gang boss.

People who have seen ghost dog can understand this movie better, from a long time, jarmusch began to pay attention to the heart, ghost dog and now the 'limit of control' express his understanding of eastern philosophy, that is, matter is illusory , the completion of the inner practice can change the whole world, the killer has completed the inner practice, take off the work clothes and put on the relaxed sportswear to complete the nirvana.

The so-called limit of control, the limit of control is to control the heart.

    American: What is your fucking agenda here?

    [pause]

    American: You people don't understand a fucking thing about how the world really works.

    Lone Man: I understand. But I understand subjectively.

    American: That's fucking nonsense. Your sick minds have been polluted with crap. Your music, movies, science. Fucking bohemians on hallucinogenic drugs. All that shit has poisoned you. And it has nothing to do with the real world. And I suppose you believe that by eliminating me, you will eliminate control over some fucking artificial reality.

    Lone Man: Reality is arbitrary.

    American: Fuck you.
