Don Johnston, played by Bill Murray, is not the Don Juan in life, although the film begins with him sitting on the sofa watching Don Juan alone, with women on TV crying at Don Juan's funeral, and someone Ask her, do you know Don Juan? She said she had never seen Don Juan. Then why cry? Just because I haven't seen it. On TV, Don Juan watched his funeral, and was quite surprised by his grand funeral. Maybe he didn't expect that his charm to women had reached such a level, just like the ugly man sitting on the sofa, Tang ·Johnston, the man who was flooded with peach blossoms, was surrounded by women all his life. Women rushed to his life one after another, but could never touch his heart.
Tang is a lonely man. The film shows his deep loneliness everywhere. He watches a big TV by himself, listens to a female voice from heaven and sings, falls asleep on his own sofa or a bed in a hotel, and goes on the road alone. , a person searching, a person sitting under a tree in front of a tombstone, a person crying.
He and the world have never understood each other, and it is not simple black humor that Vinstone has to talk to him face-to-face on a mobile phone. There are so many uncommunicative barriers and alienations in it. Although Vinstone is his best friend, His plan for Tang to search for his son is kind and warm, but in Tang's eyes, it may not be what he needs, no, he doesn't need anything, the world is dispensable in his eyes, and there is nothing in his life. Necessary people and necessary things, he lives indifferently like a kind of grievance, he does not take the initiative or refuse, he downplays himself in his own life.
But is it really so? Winstone's happy life is like Ethiopian music, the melody is simple and repetitive, but good for the heart. He has many children around his knees, and a wife who is good at cooking. Although he smokes cigarettes, his wife is also in charge of his daughter, although he complains that he has to work three jobs to support five children. Compared with Tang, Wenstone is undoubtedly strong. They are completely opposite, just like their lives, one is full of flowers in the aggressiveness, and the other is broken and withered.
Don's familiarity with Winstone's children, and the compliments of the hostess' food so natural, without any sense of loss or jealousy, makes us feel that Don knows his way of life is different from Winston's, and he doesn't. No envy, like he told Winstone, I'm living my life.
Tang's life is constructed by women, and his solitary temperament has an incomprehensible lethality to women, but he is also a man who is full of desire for women, so he is naked to the woman he met at the airport and Carmen's female assistant. His thighs are extremely concerned, and his inexplicable attraction to women makes him bear the charge of playboy Don Juan, but from the blatant teasing of Laura's Lolita and the affectionate gaze of the florist's woman, it can be known that in his life, Women are never invited, and he doesn't need to take pains to capture them.
Tang was powerless to resist the women's attack, let alone stop them from leaving. At the beginning of the film, a woman named Shirley left him. When he was looking for the last old lover, Penny, to FUCK him, he weakly defended: it was you who left me. Why do women like him and leave him? He listens to a song at home before embarking on his journey to find an old lover, the lyrics are: I need you, I need you/I want you in the right way/Listen, I want you to need me/To The right way, baby/Like I need you/I'll give you all the love/I'll give you back, darling/I only feel half the love/Don't play with it, it's something worth cherishing for a lifetime/Baby, don't you not give a damn about? Aren't you alone? / I need you / In the right way, baby / But I need you and you need me too / You must, must, must need me / Love me baby / Like I love you.
Love probably needs to be reciprocated, especially for women, love is like a flooded ocean engulfing men, and she longs for the man she loves to be a vast ocean, but Tang is definitely not such a man, he is at most a small island in the ocean.
Then recite a paragraph of Shirley's lines when she left Tang: "You will always be like this, never change, I don't want to be with a high-level Don Juan anymore, I'm your mistress, look at your friend next door Vinstone , how happy they are." Then Shirley asked him, "Don't you want to have a family?"
Don't you want to have a family? This sentence divides Tang and his women into two worlds. Tang does not want to have a family. We can't guess why he does not want to have a family. There are countless possibilities in Tang's life. Although nothing is mentioned in the movie, he Broken before those met those women.
Of course, more than one Tang was broken, and each of the five former lovers he searched for was incomplete. Laura's husband died in an explosion, she lives with her Lolita-like daughter, but apparently they don't understand each other, or even incompatible; Dora has a wealthy life and a husband who seems to love him, but she doesn't want to give it to her. He gave birth to a child; Carmen was engaged in communicating with animals after the divorce. She was polite and distant towards Tang, but her female assistant was hostile to Tang, and her inadvertently patted Carmen on the crotch was ambiguous and frivolous, making it impossible to ignore them The relationship between the two is fanciful; the worst living state is Penny, so she has reason to be the most violent, she FUCK YOU to Tang, and Tang also got punched for it; the most desolate is Xiao Mi Xue Er, who died in a car accident, once The nephrite jade and Wenxiang are now only a handful of loess and a cold tombstone... 20 years have passed in a flash, and when we meet again, it is already when the beauties die of old age. , the lingering lingering of the infinite spring, turned into a stranger who didn't know each other: "Can I help you?"
Those pink flowers of his have more or less lost and fallen. Who will be responsible for their lives? ? Don? This is obviously not fair. Pink is a color with rich meanings, it can represent dreams, love, romance, women, sexy, youth, warmth, beauty... And these are all broken, broken flowers, broken is everyone's life, just like butterflies Effect, I don't know who made the game for whom. Maybe this is the fate that cannot be escaped. Fate is the most faithful executor of time. In fate, time flies and flowers fall.
