Ghost Dog - Live By the Code, Die By the Code
Add in some Samurai life code, a little poetry, pigeons, a French-speaking ice cream vendor and a strange preoccupation with vintage cartoons and you have... Ok, so there's really nothing classic about Ghost Dog at all.
But it is a great movie that you won't want to miss.

The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day, when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears, and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day, without fail, one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai., - Ghost Dog, quoted from Hagakure

East meets West in this hip-hop infused samurai-gangster pic in which Forest Whitaker plays a professional killer who goes by the name of Ghost Dog and who lives by the age-old code of the Samurai.
If one were to say in a word what the condition of being a samurai is, its basis lies first in seriously devoting one's body and soul to his master. - Ghost Dog, quoted from Hagakure

Ghost Dog - quoted from Hagakure
Taking an enemy on the battlefield is like a hawk taking a bird. Even though it enters into the midst of a thousand of them, it gives no attention to any bird than the one it first marked.
Ghost Dog Review
Ghost Dog, quoted from Hagakure
In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side.
Hagakure, Rashomon and the Ghost Dog Soundtrack
Hagakure and Rashamon were the two books featured in Ghost Dog.
Ghost Dog - quoted from Hagakure
Even if one's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should be able to do one more action with certainty. With martial valor, if one becomes like a revengeful ghost and shows great determination, though his head is cut off, he should not die.

- This looks like a must see! I thought the tape on the window was creative but the bathroom drain took the cake for sure.
