I'm lonely inside, Reivew on Broken Flowers

Much like "Wild Strawberry", the difference is that the former achieved academic achievements and finally gained recognition in his later years, while the latter is financially rich, but the same is loneliness. So when I watched it, I was very impressed. As my friend said, this man is very suitable to play that kind of frustrated middle-aged man. He has no expression on his face, just like the role played by Kitano Takeshi himself in the movie.

The two works boil down to one sentence. In fact, when you find that no matter how great academic achievement or financial prosperity you have in your old age, your heart is lonely.

In "Wild Strawberry", the old man regrets over and over again through dreams that he did not grasp the precious love opportunity in the past. Although the old man in "Broken Flower" had a lot of girlfriends when he was young, none of them could go to the end. Can only be expressionless.

The old friend and neighbor of the old man in "Broken Flower" seems to seldom visit his house, because after the letter came, he couldn't help saying "I'm so lonely."

The old man in "Wild Strawberry" is a bit similar. The role played by Liu Zhitai in "The Future of a Man is a Woman" (starring in "Old Boy" and "The Passing of Spring," and expecting him to be his first directorial debut) is that there is a chance, but he will not grasp it, so Can only wait for many years to regret it. The old man in "Broken Flower" seems to be much luckier, but the essence is the same, one by one, in the end, there is no more text.
