Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai Review

Review of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) by screenqueeen: 👍 4/5

Exists in an archetypal version of New Jersey (with license plates on cars simply labeled "The Industrial" and "Highway State") and draws upon some externalized ideas about traditional Japanese culture, so take from that what you will.

"[I speak] only English. I never understand a word he says." "And that's your best friend?" "Yeah."

The script remains the same, but the walk and talk change with the seasons and the climate they bring. I should read Hagakure.

Henry Silva attentively watching Felix the Cat and Woody the Woodpecker is going to stick in my head until I die.
