On Monday night I went to The Muse for the film screening they hold there. When I first walked in I was a little nervous based on Ryan’s explanation of things. It turned out pretty good though with a very warm welcome. I thought the movie would start at ten so I got there about 9:50 but it was still open mic night. I like music and thought I might hear something good so I sat in on the last couple performances. I was very impressed with the last two performers. They both played the guitar and sang as well. I really liked the last guy though. He wrote his own music but used Shakespeare plays for lyrics. It was really good. Then I had to sit around for about thirty minutes. They took their time starting the movie which kind of frustrated me but I was just curious to see what movie they chose. The movie they played was called Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. It was written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. The star of the move is Forest Whitaker. When I first heard the title I was curious and I had thoughts of The Last Samurai go through my head and got kind of excited. The movie starts with Ghost Dog (Whitaker) reading books about being a samurai. It was very interesting though because he was in the middle of a city and lived on top of a house where he enjoyed spending time with his pigeons. As the movie progressed I became more interested because Ghost Dog actually worked for the mob as one of their top hit men. When the job he is asked to do goes wrong the mob then targets Ghost Dog. To make a long story short, Ghost Dog eventually attacks the mob’s mansion and kills most of the people there. He spares the man who hires him and the daughter of the mob boss. Eventually the daughter ask Louie (the man who hires Ghost Dog) to confront Ghost Dog. This happens at Ghost Dog’s favorite ice cream stand where he allows Louie to kill him in front of his friends. As far as the movie goes I was really disappointed. You quickly realize it is rated R because they use the F word every two seconds in the movie and the violence is pretty graphic. The violence didn’t bother me as much as the foul language did. It was a very unnecessary addition that turned me off. I thought the acting was pretty good but really couldn’t get into it. I would rate this movie a four. It did have a decent story line and a good message but there were just too many unnecessary parts for me to really enjoy myself.
