      A Brief Comment on Broken Flower

      When a film critic of "Broken Flower" encounters Jarmusch, he (she) will feel that this is a disaster. Fortunately, the production of this guy is very limited. For example, "Broken Flower", what can you write about? Seeing the delivery date approaching, my heart is numb... In fact, this movie is no big deal, it's just an old man who should know his destiny. The happy time is not here. When I meet an opportunity, I want to extract the last bit from the past years. Sweet juice, it's that simple....

      Broken Flowers - sentiments from some old texts that endure to this day

      (Some words written more than a year ago. Because I saw Douyou Blue Velvet's review of this film, I went back to my space that had been closed for a long time and re-read some of the thoughts I left after watching this film. After a long time, re-reading my own words at that time is not a good feeling. It is like flipping through a photo album, and what I see is some laughter and melancholy that freeze there, while the words are more to freeze the thoughts at that time and take care of the...

      Grab your sleeves and start a road trip at a young age

      My dad and I watched this movie together. After watching it, my dad was overwhelmed with emotion, saying that if you mess around again, you will be the old man in this movie in the future.
      I said don't worry, Dad, I don't mess around, even if I do, the safety measures are good.
      When my dad heard this, he was very angry, and he said, "You young people are so rude!"

      Bill Murray played a tragic character in the film, and analyzed the reason. The appearance is that he was...

      A typical Jarmusu who is full of literary stalks, cold humor, bitterness, and the air of fascination; still a very weak plot, but can attract people with relish, atypical road film, unexpected road, very seductive, Don Juan's All ex-girlfriends are charming and have their own characteristics, and they have obviously had real feelings for him, and they still can't let go of them after the passage of time. And "expectation"; even cats are excellent, with a look of contempt and suspicion, the...
