Ghost Dog...way of the samurai

[Onslow]

Yea - worth seeing. There was one bit in it that made me piss myself. Can't remember what it was though. I think it might have been a really inane conversation between some gangsters. Something to do with rap or something.

The conversation just prior to this made me howl, were its just been discovered that Louie communicates with the hitman via pigeons. Its not as much the words spoken, but just the look that Louie gives the old deaf guy after his outburst about carrier pigeons is truely priceless. Blink and you'll miss it moment. a BAYMIM if you will.

The thing is Forest was a ninja not a samurai. The samurai did not assainate people especially not at the behest of gangsters. Call me a purist but it did not happen, I though it was a misrepresentation of the bushido code.

i belive he considered himself a retainer to the man who saved him therefore it did not matter what his lord did/was. so it simply does to mattert that the orders where from gansters.

secondly killing someone for the purpose of bettering the lords position or to claim revenge for an insult is just the kind of thing a retainer would do for a lord

so the assasanation bit and and the acting on behalf of gansters bit is justifyable
