Do I sound like a bitch ?

[Gemby!]

In this essay ?



‘Ghost Dog : The way of the samurai’ (Jarmusch, 1999) is a modern day adaptation of how a samurai lives his life. It is directed by Jim Jarmusch, who has also directed films such as ‘Coffee and Cigarettes’ (1986/2003) and ‘Dead Man’ (1995).

The film is a slow paced one, making very few cuts and long, drawn out scenes. This creates a relaxed, tranquil, and at times smooth atmosphere to the film.

The most common technique used is the dissolve or the fade. It’s often used when we see the pigeon flying overhead, and when the captions appear. This creates a calm transition from one shot to another, which reflects the relaxed attitude of the film. However, by using these so much it becomes tiresome and makes the scenes seem to take longer, and not gain excitement over the film. Even the fighting scenes were slow and with few cuts, which created a too calm attitude.

With such a slow pace to the film, there is no thrill to it, and at the end we are left with a sense that we didn’t get the action we expect from a samurai film. Maybe if the film was a faster pace at times we would be able to appreciate the calmness of the scenes.


:huh:

[Gripper]

I think you captured the essence of the film but misunderstood it a little,I think he was trying to portray the spirit of the samurai but made it to much like hard work

[Gemby!]

I don't really care about it, it's only a short question he gave us.

plus remember my golden rule ??

It's easier to criticise :01:

[Gripper]

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

I think what you said was honest and justified.

[Rat Faced]

Gripper, you misunderstood...

It was easier for her to Citicise the film than review it..

I dont think you slated it tho Gemby... Just said it was a little slow.

Slating it is an essay saying "That was Crap"....

I find his "lets shake the Wicca tree" rather too strident for my taste. If you read through he is apparently pro the religion if indeed not one himself - just a rather aggresive one. :blink:

Were it not for Hobbes eschewing all religions I would say it was he. :lol:

But the young are always so zealous!

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

okay, maybe I was being a bit hasty...but if a Christian came on with a spinning crucifix avatar and a bible verse for a sig people would think they were a nutter....
