Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)

[Luke Cage]

The original ghost. He'd whoop Jin Sakai's ass.

 

[Neuromancer]

I own the Hagakure.

The packaging in the Criterion blu has a pamphlet with the movie excerpts in the same style as Ghost Dog's copy.

 

[NZA]

Criterion blu of this just came out. Fantastic upgrade if you down in The Way

just got mine from the barnes and noble sale

Le Samourai is a chore to sit through, its dope but I dont revisit it as often as ghost dog

It’s truer to the existentialist theme
Not every movie gotta be an action scene every 5 minutes

Never said it does, I'm saying it's old asf and most will find it boring to sit through.

You dislike it cause it’s old?

I dont dislike it, theirs just long long periods of time that pass while nothing happens.

All his movies have scenes like that
It’s a lot of scenes in classic cinema/television that do that, 2001, the elevator scene in evangelion
To each his own
Maybe I would feel different if I saw it in theaters

I guess they thought the movie needed all that because the plot was so paper thin also

? One heavenly strike and it’s a wrap

RZA and Jim Jarmusch Talk the Music of Ghost Dog

 

[FlyRy]

Might be most underrated flick ever. Just got my criterion as well

 

[Nero Christ]

Might be most underrated flick ever. Just got my criterion as well

came in to say the Criterion just arrived today

Parasite should arrive next week too & The Irishman is getting copped when that's available

 

[NZA]

the ghost dog scene where they show him driving for about 3 minutes to the mission listening to killah priest is the perfect way to show the samurai zen state without the boredom of le samourai
