Talk about "Broken Flower"

American director Jarmusch's "Broken Flower" is also highly recommended. This was the first film I saw Jarmusch. The tone of the film is very similar to my mentality last year: I personally rejected the N many possibilities of life, and in the end I felt bored even in loneliness.

The film tells the story of an old man visiting several old lovers from his past with flowers. The old man was driving a middle-class car, driving on a middle-class highway, listening to absurd music written by a famous African-American musician. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the director is making fun of a road movie.
The first old lover revisited his mandarin duck dream. She also has a daughter who likes to be naked, but her name is Lolita, because she is afraid that the audience will not see that she is a little loli; the second lover can't hide her brows. And dull, but struggling to prove to the old boyfriend that she is happy and harmonious; the third lover threw him a FUCK YOU, which caused her friend to give the poor ex-boyfriend a left hook; the fourth A lover, oh, only the tombstone is left alone on the green lawn.

The hero of the movie is called Don Juan, and he is listening to the song "Don Juan" at the beginning of the movie. But the reason for this modern Don Juan to visit an old lover is - to find a son. But no matter how you look at it, this is some kind of illusion of the hero - he knows he has no son, but he longs to have one. That's all.
