Many years is passed from the time that I watched the first movie played by Forest Whitaker at “Cinema Farhang”, a great theater for fans of foreign movies.
He had a very soft play at “Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai” which looks more natural talent of actor than the leads of the director. Still I remember the shock ending and last words of the movie …
The last words were something like this:
“… on very old days, there was a village, where people carried their food with themselves to the work, using it during the day, and smashing the rest under their feet at the end of the day!.”
That was a somewhat satisfying word for someone like me who was always asking “what is life?”
It took me a couple of years to have a chance to watch another great movie, played by him. “Crying games” could hold you to the end of the movie and nothing special happen, however at the second look, there was a deep penetration through the meaning of “Love” during a very basic and stupid story. That helped me to look at different meanings of any subject (specially love).
