The peaceful life of single old man Johnston was suddenly disrupted. When his current girlfriend left him, he suddenly received a letter telling him that he had a 19-year-old son, and he had already embarked on the road to find his father! With the help of his neighbors, Johnston collected information on his four ex-girlfriends from the Internet and began his journey of retrospective life. A beautiful widow, the wife of a real estate tycoon, a doctor who can communicate with animals, a girl riding a heavy motorcycle, these four ex-girlfriends gave him some warm hugs, some made him suffer
... This film, also starring Bill Murray, is easily reminiscent of "Lost in Translation", and it is also in a delicate and abstract atmosphere to find one's own purpose in life. Compared with the ethereal female director in "Lost in Translation," Jim Jarmusch is more composed. In the framework of this road film, in addition to some interesting comedy plots, the whole film is filled with a kind of deep helplessness, a kind of depression in a relaxed state of mind. The film's ending is so ambiguous that it's unclear whether Johnston has found his son or not, but that's not the point at all. The key is, is the flower of the past in our hearts completely broken, or may it bloom again?

    estranged. Unlike the imagined Jarmusch, a simple story is still shot in style. Those pinks are all gone, and the pink flowers decay and shatter in the cold blue reality. The past is past, the future is unknown, only the present can be grasped - but when he tried to grasp the present, the child ran away. "I know you think I'm your dad." In fact, he hoped that he was his son too much. When he realized the lack of his life, the look in his eyes was heartbreaking.
