Speaking of "Broken Flower", it can have deep meaning, but I think it is more of Jiamusu's self-pity. The plot is coherent and single-line, driven by clues, telling the whole story from the perspective of Tang, with sophisticated and meticulous techniques. Compared with Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Phone" and "If You Are the One", it may be noble, but it is also limited.
From a squirrel-like point of view, "Broken Flower" is about the fate that men cannot escape: sex and reproduction. I haven't visited my girlfriend in 20 years. Because of the possibility of my son, I have overcome habit, inertia and dignity and set off to find the truth. What attracted him on the way were young and beautiful women, and a man in his twenties who might be his son. For women, young means sex, and old means withering, like a flower in a carafe. Once the deadline is over, it is unbearable to see. All the way down, sexual intercourse is optional, and impulses and fantasies go hand in hand. The only time he defeated him was when he misidentified his son. The desire for offspring finally prevailed over reason. That's the best irony for a proud self-sufficient person.
