i see this brilliant flick doesn't have a thread yet!! (so here's one).
this must be one of my top 3 films in the past 5 years. jarmush's minimalism + murray's subtleness + music = brilliance
Rita: Daddy, you're not supposed to be smoking. Winston: Oh, no, no. This is just some assorted herbs, some cheeba.
Don Johnston: Let me see that [takes a drag of cigarette] Don Johnston: Yep, it's just cannabis sativa.
my favourite part was probably the question don sets sherry; what do you want, sherry? couldn't set that question in a more appropriate tone :)

Great movie! I'm a long time jarmush fan, and that's a good one, but IMO Ghost Dog is better...
I love the way Broken Flowers ends...

hmm, ghost dog was among my least favourite jarmush films. still a great one but quite different to all his other films. my fav appart from broken flowers are definitelly down by law, coffee and cigarettes and dead man.

not the worst jarmusch movie (nigh on earth imo), but i didnt liked it as many others. murray was too much himself and too much predictable. but yeah, im not a murrays fan. thou liked him in the life aquatic. after seeing broken flowers went home and watched down by law for 5th time and enjoyed it ten times more. and ghost dog is better movie than flowers in my oppinion. hmm, maybe im just getting old and want to see down by law 2 or something.

"murray was too much himself"
exactly. his acting was very subtle again, there's more genuinity in his eyes than in what most of other actors is trying to do..dunno how to explain this hehe..and jarmush apperantly said he made this film for murray exclusivly, being his big fan and all..turned out great imo.

one of the few things i liked about this film was the soundtrack, i kept wishing i could stay in the car and listen to the mix cd instead of going up with bill murray's character to interact with another cardboard, stereotyped female character.
i'm clearly in the minority, but this film (for me) had few laughs and promised a lot more than it delivered.
i saw it with my wife and parents, the wife agreed with me, and my parents liked it a lot. to each their own...

i could talk about jarmuschs movies for hours but my poor english vocabulary really limits me. But what i wanted to say is that i dont see as many layers and symbols in broken flowers as, for example, in ghost dog. broken flowers is just a "road movie", its very smart and it has beautiful rhytm but its not a world by itself. its only my opinion, of course :)

i was saying that in ghost dog i can see the story going in different levels simultaneously- its a movie about samurai code but in the same time its a movie about mafia. hmm, something like that.

so basically what you are saying is you prefer action over drama? :D
