This film, which won the Cannes Jury Prize in 2005, is unknown in the United States. Director JIM JARMUSCH is a famous alternative director. He studied in France in his early years and was deeply influenced by French New Wave films. Perhaps this is the difference between him and mainstream American films. This film fully embodies his concise style.
The story is a single middle-aged man with a successful career, the most recent girlfriend, who couldn't stand him without any promises, left him. It seemed that he was not very sad. He received an anonymous letter stating that he has a 19-year-old son and may come to him. In order to find his son's mother, he visited four former lovers who are most likely to have his children. The four lovers are middle-aged women with outstanding charm, but they all have their own lives. The first (Sharon Stone) is a widow, who seems to have a touch of affection for him, but she has a wayward and bold daughter and a job she likes; the second, she has a handsome, like-minded husband, although, their Life is a bit like their model house, beautiful but it seems to be more for display. The third one is a big change in temperament. He turned out to be an ambitious and successful lawyer. Because of the death of his pet dog, one day he became a doctor who was psychic with animals. He successfully opened his own animal clinic and treated him as a person. , Has lost any interest. The fourth one was the simplest. When he saw him, he yelled at him, and he was beaten up by her friend. Finally, he came to the tomb of his lover who died in a car accident and shed tears. Perhaps, he confided in his life feelings that he dared not express to the living, because the one lying quietly underground is the best listener. By.
Although he returned without success, he also suspected that it was a prank by someone, but he still had some changes. He met a wandering boy twice in the street. He stopped him, bought food for him and talked with him. When he mentioned that the boy might be looking for his father, the boy ran away in fright. After catching up, it was completely unlike the middle-aged man who was cold and slow. He didn't catch up, but when he looked back, he saw a young man in the oncoming car. The young man was also commenting on him. The car drove away and the play ended.
Judging from the plot, it's a bit funny, but when watching a movie, I can't laugh at all. Old Bill continued his performance in "Lost in Tokyo", taciturn, serious and serious. In the reunion with the old lover, the dull expression, the embarrassment of being cold from time to time when looking for words without words, is really uncomfortable. Perhaps it is exactly what the director wants to express. Some middle-aged people have a career, money, and past. However, they have lost contact with the outside world and don't know what they want. He has had many girlfriends, but he does not have a home. He seems to love his last girlfriend. When his girlfriend left with the suitcase, he chased him out. His girlfriend was waiting there. He knew what his girlfriend wanted to listen to, but he thought about it all his life. What he said was swallowed back. He leads a prosperous life, watching TV at home by himself every day, and he doesn't seem to be lonely. Perhaps, the son is an opportunity for him to change. Although, he said that he didn’t believe in the existence of sons, maybe he didn’t have a son at all, but that’s not important. What’s important is that through the process of finding a child and seeing the life of his lover, they have all moved on, They knew what they wanted, and they lived a wonderful life. His sudden intrusion into their lives made him see himself separated from the old time and cut off from the present world.
When he was talking with the boy, the boy asked him about life, he said seriously, what seemed to be philosophical, the past is over, and the future will come when it should come. I think we can only count on the present. The boy heard this and asked him, are you a Buddhist? Perhaps he was the inspiration he got after looking for the past and hitting a wall. However, there is no answer in the play. What is he expecting now? Maybe he will continue to search for his son, maybe find his girlfriend who is still in love with him, maybe his life is still the same, the movie only describes the living conditions of some people, some It is the job of a philosopher to be confused and find a solution.
