Many people don't like Jarmusch's new film, mostly because they think it's not well-planned. Why should pink appear so often, why repeatedly emphasize that his name is easily mistaken for Don Juan, and lolita and winston, they appear so obvious, everyone is disgusted. However, why do I feel that I had this mental preparation before watching it, as if I knew it was like this for a long time, so I am not disgusted at all.
In "Ghost Dog", Jarmusu used to make some classic sources appear so frequently and directly, and "Rashomon" appeared repeatedly there, and there was a similar one in the previous "Leaving Soul", I remember the sentences appearing in the middle of the screen.
Of course, the citation of scriptures can be more invisible in the film. Now that it is so obvious, it is the director's choice. In fact, in "broken flowers", not only pink, characters' names, but also Jia Mu Xuai's music, his favorite small broken restaurant, the form of "journey", etc., these are all a As you can think of when you think of Jarmusch, his films are also strangely unreasonable in some key places every time. Whether his movies are good or not depends entirely on personal preference.
From a technical point of view, the filming and editing techniques are just average. After all, the difficulty of this kind of film is not comparable to that of commercial blockbusters, that is to say, it seeks a sense of beauty. In photography, I watched it carefully for a long time, and there is no particularly powerful part, mainly highlighting a multi-camera (of course, he may also be a machine) and a long lens less, the latter, in fact, he did not deliberately less, just A habit of the director himself. In terms of editing, it is not difficult, basically according to the plot. Some people think that every time he takes a plane and stops at the airport, the parts are not good-looking, and the rhythm is slow and long. That is actually the problem with this editing. But I don't think it looks so bad now. I think it would be bad if he edited and cut some flowers during his transition, which would destroy the harmony and beauty of the whole movie. Stagnation, dispensation, slowness, the whole movie is in such a tune that it cannot be easily ruined.
Overall, I think this movie is still a bit interesting. Let's take a look.
