I said, it's not an easy thing to see an old lover, especially since I haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years, who knows what will happen after meeting. Don's meetings with the four ex-girlfriends have their own tastes, and while his facial expression doesn't change each time, we can tell his heart is beating and pounding because he still has to ask an embarrassing question. At the beginning, Don still had the patience to push and attack, but the experience changed him along the way. When he saw the last one, he even asked directly in the first sentence: Do you have a son? (He is still sensible, without adding the attributive "mine")
Director Jim Jarmusch's last feature film was Ghost Dog in 1999. From his debut in 1980 to now, there are only a handful of feature films that have been released in the past 25 years. His low production is generally because he has always adhered to the attitude of an independent filmmaker and refused the invitation of Hollywood, which is one of the reasons why many people put him on the title of "independent film master". I remember Jarmusch's films as black and white, minimalist, and low-level, but this time Broken Flowers has a mild coat and is more approachable (honestly, I prefer his more stylized works). Jammusch said his story was tailor-made for Bill Murray. It's true that Murray's minimalist performance perfectly portrays this lonely and lazy protagonist. His motion is full of charm, and it's no wonder that some people feel bad for him losing the best actor at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
The movie doesn't tell us what the truth is, and the title Broken Flowers may mean the failure of Don's pink flowers tactics. What's even more cunning about Jarmusch is that we're not even sure if Don will change after this trip.
