Poetic Film Review: Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
In the urban jungle, Ghost Dog roams,
A hitman guided by ancient codes,
His only friend, a pigeon's song,
Living a life simple and alone.
Louie, his master, saved his life,
But trouble brews with a witness's strife,
Mob bosses and vendettas collide,
Ghost Dog's skills he won't hide.
A clash of cultures, Old versus New,
Japanese samurai in a modern milieu,
A commentary on society's decay,
Jarmusch's vision in a unique display.
Forest Whitaker shines in the lead,
A hero in a world that doesn't heed,
With RZA's beats and rap in play,
Ghost Dog takes us on a cinematic foray.
A film that's strange and bizarre,
But leaves its mark near and far,
A tale of honor, loyalty, and strife,
Ghost Dog is a gem of 90s life.
