ghost dog: the way of the samurai - 1999
the cultural diversity in this movie is outstanding,
an african american who lives by japonese samurai codes,
an italian american wise guy that's stereotypical racist but likes the public enemies,
two best friends that don't speak the same language but understand each other perfectly
this movie had a subtle humor, mainly the stereotypes and the killings
the soundtrack by the great rza is perfect, a mix of two cultures
night on earth - 1991
no one films the streets like jarmusch, he depicts the essence of every city, every street corner
most films cut certain scenes, jarmusch makes an entire movies out of them,
another cultural masterpiece with humor, laughing out loud funny humor and tragedy
jarmusch gives light to a invisibility, that invisibility is beginning of my greatest curiosity
i'll quote a new york chess vendor that i liked very much and i think it's very related-
at night, this,
whatever this material that
gives us this blackness around,
it's a nice companion
in a city like new york,
when it's hustle and bustle,
and millions of people
here you are the king of the night,
in the store
outside you are the king of the city
and now you see
each street
has its own double life
a curtain is raised,
and you see
the homeless,
the con edison guy,
the garbage guy,
the rat,
the bat,
all the creatures of the night
and 5, 6 o'clock in the morning,
and somebody pulls a curtain,
and all that theater of the night
is gone
that theater, I find,
this is my place
these are the people that
you become invisible like them
