spoiler well and the one line summary say it all . melville´s le samurai be the original and there be element of leon . and they be well much good . in the samurai alain delon be a lonely warrior or professional killer who keep a bird in cage and be steal car for his job ( with so much suspense in these scene . ) . even the end be exactly the same represent the samurai seek death in dignity and be get shot with an empty gun in his hand . the world have change he realize and there be no place for the samurai in it . delon be not kill so many people like the ghost dog . but i guess jarmusch like leon very much or even desperado by rodriguez . so he add this and too . and let me guess represent the girl will become a professional like ghost dog ( like natalie portman in leon ) . so what be jarmusch thinking after all . where be the unique and the original thought in this movie . i can not see the point in make carbon ( celluloid ) copy . a 4/10 rating by macaulay connor .
