On a despairing afternoon, I successfully avoided everyone and huddled on the sofa to watch "Broken Flower".
The whole film doesn't seem to have any passion on the surface, but if you happen to be in such an afternoon, and you happen to be in a lonely mood like me, you will definitely like this film. . .
At the beginning of the film, the protagonist is in a very similar situation to me (which made me feel pity for him from the beginning), and is also alone, sitting pitifully on the sofa, waiting for his girlfriend to leave (I can see that he does not. Deliberately to keep her), he finally fell sideways, lying on the sofa. . .
Because of an anonymous letter about his former illegitimate child, and also because of the help of his friend Winston, no, I think more because he wanted to see his own past, or rather, to see his own heart , he embarked on a journey to find an old lover. How absurd this move is, it makes me sweat for him all the time. Watching him knock on his old lover's door again and again makes me feel sorry for him. At the same time, I think he is really brave. . . Because this move of his is tantamount to uncovering the previous scars, and it will be an indescribable pain for him and his lovers. He is a celibate himself. Before he started the trip, he might have expected all kinds of cold reception and embarrassment, and he might have long known that the search would be fruitless. However, he still hit the road.
Watching this movie gave me a very strong sense of helplessness.
Even though he received the warmth of his first girlfriend Laura, he was still depressed when he left, which can be clearly seen from his face. Yes, all memories belong to a certain moment in the past, not the fast food we can enjoy at any time. Some memories, we have already ordered ourselves not to open him, like a dusty bottle, just know where he is. . .
For some reason, I like the third appearance of his lover, the animal psychologist Carmen. She told Tang that although she could understand the language of animals, she couldn't understand what animals were thinking, just like I talk face to face with you now, but I can't understand each other. . . Obviously, Carmen has completely detached from her feelings for Tang, and even she couldn't even accept the flowers that Tang sent her in the end. This passage makes people feel sad for Tang, but also feel a kind of relief and pleasure after relief for Carmen. . .
In this film, what impressed me the most was his girlfriend named Penny. She was like a wild and unrestrained pony, which made people feel bright. When she saw him, scolded him, and slammed him away, was it love or hate in her eyes? I'm afraid even Tang can't explain this. And the handsome guy who is suspected to be his son at the end of the film, that kind of melancholy, doubting eyes, and the back figure of running away, makes me feel familiar. . .
Tang's travel is actually a kind of care for his heart. Although he ended up sitting alone on that sofa. . . Life is like a circle. If you return to the lonely starting point in the end, why bother in the first place. . . Thinking of this, a sense of sadness struck my heart again. . .
I love the same song at the beginning and end of the movie.
Words disappear
Words once so clear
Only echoes
Passing through the night
The lines on my face
The fingers once traced
Fading reflections
Of what was....
Thoughts rearrange
Familiar, now strange
All my schemes
Drifting on the wind
Spring brings the rain
With winter comes pain
Every season has an end
I'll try
To see through disguise
For the clouds were there
Blocking out the sun
The sun...
Thoughts rearrange
Familiar, now strange
All my schemes
Drifting on the wind
Spring brings the rain
With winter comes pain
Every season has an end
There's an end...
