when i get a dog, it will be named ghost dog, a nice grey snowy looking shepherd like dog.
this movie is seriously awesome, forest whitaker is awesome. its just a beautiful movie, kind of cheesy at times, but really meaningful if you let it be. look under the cheesy shots of forest when he puts his gun in his holster, and swishes it around like a katana. the movie can be deep if you let it be. i mean, the guy’s best friend doesnt even speak the same language as him.
and the RZA at the end, in the camo suit, with the brass nuckles, “peace and equality”. that was pretty cool also.
i have this book, “the art of peace”, and you all should seriously consider reading it. its got some pretty cool things to say.
i liked the small sayings in this movie. one part talked about how you should meditate on the iminence of death, about being killed, at any moment. that you are allready dead, and death should be a thing that you accept. i thought that was a very interesting thing.
the sayings are from hagakure. you should read it. it’s great. samurai are really fucked up, mainly becaus eof the fucked up regime that created them. strange days, those feudal days.
there was a time when i would watch this movie every couple of days. love it.
