The protagonist Don is a romantic prodigal son, and his girlfriend leaves him at the beginning. Losing a female companion next to her, in exchange for only an annoying neighbor Winston.
Because of an anonymous letter, because of the enthusiastic arrangement of neighbor Winston, the protagonist Don is reluctant to set out to visit four young girlfriends and inquire about the whereabouts of his son. Then the story develops in a single line, and the audience follows Don to visit an old girlfriend.
The four old girlfriends also behave differently when they meet the long-lost Don. Some warmly entertained him and had a relationship with him, some were unwilling to marry someone else, some did not want to meet him again, and some spoke ill of him and wanted to punch him in the face.
A mediocre story, but JIM JARMUSCH can make it very tasteful. The story leaves blank and does not explain the past of the protagonist and his old girlfriends, which makes people feel vicissitudes and powerlessness. In the past ten years, there have been several changes in personnel and affairs. Those who were very tight that day, those who had no turning back that day, those who were with each other every day in those days, and those who used to be the most intimate are no longer today. All that was entangled in his heart was a sigh of disbelief.
It was really heartbreaking to go to the grave of an old girlfriend with a lost and a little hopeless Don, crying out "hello beautiful" with tears.
The past has passed, the future has not yet come. Living in the moment is the most important thing.
Have you ever noticed that there are always angels by your side? It may be overlooked, but I believe there are.
It's like the girl in the flower shop who put the medicine cloth on DON, and the neighbor, WINSTON, who is so heartless. Just think about it, invite you to his house for breakfast, book a plane ticket and a car for you, and make a copy of it for you to go on the road. Is it annoying or annoying? The
answer is obvious, but we are always lost in the present.
In the end we don't know if DON found his son or not, but that's not the point.
At the end of the film, the picture disappeared, Zhou Nao was dark and silent, and the whole world seemed to come to a standstill.
Don said: "The past has passed, and the future has not yet come." It doesn't matter to us whether DON re-understands the meaning of life or despairs of the changes around him in the present. Because we all have our own answers.
