Ghost Dog
I cannot believe it. I haven’t written any posting since nearly 2 months. Which means that I haven’t seen any movie in these 2 months either. What a pitiful life I have. Tsk tsk.
I actually only watched Ghost Dog by coincidence – in my “must watch Jim Jarmusch movies” list, Ghost Dog actually isn’t really at the top. I wanted to see “Down by Law” and “Dead Man” much more. One day, the Jim Jarmusch box will me mine! Harr harr harr~ (It’s just horribly irritating that the price of the box rised from ~38€ to ~60€ O.o)
Anyways, Ghost Dog made me think… in short: it started as a slightly boring story because of Jim Jarmusch’s typical slow pace, turned out to be really funny and then ended in a pretty predictable way, but it still leaves me unsatisfied. I still feel kind of depressed that the guy absolutely did not want to escape from his ‘fate’. I also hated Louie. Aside from that, the movie was brilliant. I even liked the samurai feeling (and the blend in of the citations of the Hagakure) a lot.
I also finally understood why the face of Raymond looked so horribly familiar! He’s Timothy in Manderlay, one of the african guys in Coffee & Cigarettes, and the driver in Night on Earth (Paris)! Jim Jarmusch really loves his friends *hrr hrr*
This movie deserves a thorough analysis and should be re-watched. One day… ^^;;; Ghost Dog has gotten me into movies again. Aaah, what should I watch next?
