The mystery hero of "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.'' He lives in a shack on a rooftop with his pigeons. He dresses like a homeless man. "He has no friends and never talks to anybody," according to the mother of the little girl in the movie. Actually, he does talk: to the little girl and to a Haitian ice cream man. The Haitian speaks no English and Ghost Dog speaks no French, so they simply speak in their own languages and are satisfied with that.
It's weird that a black man would devote his life to doing hired killing for a group of Italian-American gangsters after having met only one of them. The whole story is so strange and especially because he lives like a samurai. Then on top of that he sends and receives instructions by pigeon. Ghost dog is kind of crazy but in a nice, sweet way. He excludes himself from society by being lonely.
He stayed loyal to Louie and did everything he asked. When Louie helped me as a kid, Ghost Dog's mind changed completely. He helped Louie in every way he can but he stayed behind the scene. Ghost Dog was also a reader, he read different books that kept him quiet. Being so hidden with himself made him go crazy and he started killing more and more. Louie decided that he needed to stay true to his gang so he had to get rid of Ghost Dog. It was a hard and long decision but Louie had to do it. Ghost Dog died willingly, he knew that it was his time. It was nothing he could do because at one point Louie helped him.
This movie didn't really grab my attention and it wasn't one of the best ones we watched. Also I wasn't there for the beginning of the movie so I didn't get a chance to fully understand it. I'm not really into the Samurai or Italian Gangsters, sometimes I don't get what they do. But I would recommend this movie to people who are into those type of things. But what I did enjoy from that movie was how the pigeon delivered messages and it surprised everyone. That was cool for me, but overall I didn't enjoy the movie that much.
