But cinema has nothing to do with it; an "idea" can be "original" regardless of where you apply it, and this idea is not original at all. I haven't talked about the film nor do I care to talk about it, Muffin, but I believe that you can't really discuss it either, aside from saying "I like it / I don't like it" since you don't have the slightest idea of the background that led to the creation of this movie. It’s like talking about Kill Bill without knowing about the existence of Sonny Chiba's Nunjutsu films.

But it's like saying that A Clockwork Orange is original when, in fact, it's the original book that the film copies. Instead of a book, here Jarmush has clearly drawn inspiration from a musical group; the tune doesn't change. It's beautiful if you want (I think it's awful cubed, but that's another story) but not "original." Original was RZA in '93, not Jarmush in '99, who moved knowing he had an audience thanks to the success of others, who here are only known by rap listeners but in the USA have sold quite a few million records; it's not like he dug up some underground stuff. RZA is also the same one who put the music in Kill Bill (again, because we're talking about samurai), since you like Tarantino.

Fortunately no films, but as I wrote to you, aging mafia gangsters with the world of samurai, the music of black people, symbolic references to the animal world, and a solitary hero who trains like a samurai and acts with guns and rifles is practically the text of all the songs by Wu-Tang from '93 to '98.

Beautiful, also because you saved me from having to listen to a record that I would never like.

RZA and the Wu-Tang could have at least been mentioned; this film is basically any one of their songs put to images. Besides having fully composed the soundtrack and acted in it, the idea is just shamelessly Wu-Tang. A Black New York samurai who talks little and moves like a Jarmusch shadow would never have come to life without them, and maybe they would never have even produced the film if the Wu hadn't sold millions of records in the state of New York alone. That said, and since you write <<< surely very original >>>, I’d say it’s a solid no. It has nothing original at all, it copies the Wu, which in turn copied 70s kung-fu films: the copy of a copy. It can be beautiful nonetheless, but certainly not "original," not even remotely.

Luis? Sorry Lewis, but sometimes I write the way I read (and even in that case it would still be wrong). But Lùis isn't bad, think about it :D

Luis, you might like the EP "Chokehold (The Gospel According... II)" a bit; it's still a metal album but more expansive, and in a couple of tracks slightly elongated. Nevertheless, it’s still about metal punches, with a sludgy sound but with heavy metal hits. \\\ Kosmo, maybe a tattoo isn't the way to go, but having the phrase underneath a big photo of the guy in denim shorts from the beginning of the review would make a nice poster for the living room. I practically wrote the review just to post that picture; for me, it’s the quintessence of laughter.

Well, in the meantime you haven't said anything concrete, not even the slightest response. And this doesn't mean you're an idiot, just to clarify, it's just that the "right" answer doesn't exist. It's easy to criticize "politicians, entrepreneurs, and bosses, who want to convince you by any means that things are this way and cannot be changed." But then, when the tables are turned on us, we realize that it's not so simple to do their job. Things can definitely be changed, but changing is something possible, whereas creating a perfect world is impossible. Simply because what is perfect for me and you (I too wish it were easy to do what you say) can be a massive load of crap for another two. There are people who would get high from morning till night if they had no competition (I know many, and I wouldn't be so immune either), eliminating that would just give you a turnover of drug users, but you would still have them. Problem reset. You would be happy and the others wouldn't, so it's still a selfish way of viewing the world, exactly like today's politicians, bosses, and entrepreneurs, no difference at all.

I'll give you an example: "You can't throw people into the fray and expect everyone to be able to make their way through: many won't make it." Yes, you can't expect them to react. So, practically, what do you do? You kill them, you put them in an institution surrounded by meadows and flowers funded by the taxes of those who have instead managed to carve their own path, you pay for a personal psychologist... what do you do? I can't think of solutions that don't lead to other connected problems. Aside from dreaming of a perfect world and saying "ahhh, how wrong this is..."
