Ghost Dog: The Way of The Samurai: Difference between revisions

 

Its independent nature prevented it from receiving much attention, but it did receive fairly good praise from critics and has become a rather minor [[Cult Classic]].

* [[Animal Motifs]]: a dog appears twice in the film, both times staring directly at Ghost Dog. Ghost Dog is explicitly compared to a bear by Raymond, and kills two hunters who he encounters who have killed a black bear basically because they could; [[Passing the Torch|Pearline at the very end]] has pyjamas on with a bear pattern. There's also Ghost Dog's pigeons.

** Ghost Dog only speaks English, his best friend Raymond only speaks French, but they keep saying the same thing.

** The constant eating of chocolate ice cream. {{spoiler|When both Ghost Dog and Pearline turn down a cone within seconds of each other, it's a good sign that the mood is about to change.}}

** And to ''[[Le Samourai|Le Samouraï]]'', (1967) which was also about a Bushido-following assassin.

* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Louie wouldn't. Not everyone goes by those rules...
