This film has one great scene after another and never takes a bad step along the way. The songs enhance the scenes without pulling one out of the story while creating a unique vibe that seems to have organically sprung to life from the material.įamed director John Ford said that the test of a great film is a film that contains three great scenes and no bad ones. As for the music, the choice of Wu Tang Clan's RZA was inspired. Take note to the way he plays on clichés when Ghost Dog goes to the one gangster's house to kill him and how he gets into the garage. He doesn't beat you over the head with the themes or the humor, letting it flow naturally. ![]() Director and writer Jim Jarmusch brings a matter of fact tone to the material, which is dry and perfect. The film totally turns the conventions and stereotypes of gangster films upside down, leading to hilarious and poignant results. It also works as a wonderful character study and as a meditation on people, who live by codes in an age of chaos. This film works equally as a thriller and comedy. He's not "normal" in a traditional way, but his sense of honor is noble. They give him purpose and meaning, without them he would be lost. Roger Ebert believes that Ghost Dog is crazy, but I'd have to disagree. The scene where Ghost Dog's boss has to explain to his bosses that he has to contact the hit man by attaching a message to a bird is one of the best scenes in film history. ![]() The gangsters like rap and always watch cartoons. Ghost Dog is a hip-hop warrior, who contacts his boss through passenger pigeons. But he believes in his code of honor to the end, whether it will lead to his death or not.Įvery character is so well-developed that they become simply unforgettable. Ghost Dog is cool, calculated and ingenious when he's doing his work. The kind-eyed assassin develops a sweet friendship with a young girl named Pearline (Camille Winbush, TV's THE BERNIE MAC SHOW). Ghost Dog's best friend, Raymond (Isaach DeBankole, CASINO ROYALE) is an ice cream man, who only speaks French and Ghost Dog only speaks English. As a teen, the gangster Louie (John Tormey, GAME 6) saved Ghost Dog from some thugs and the African American man has vowed his life to the Italian American mobster. The film follows Ghost Dog (Forest Whitaker, THE CRYING GAME), a hit man, who lives by the ancient code of the samurai. The term cult film best suits this unusual genre tale of rap and the way of the samurai. Films this good and original don't come along that often. This film has been out for awhile and I've seen it three times already, but after re-watching it again I wanted to make sure that everyone knows how much I love this film.
