At the beginning of the movie, it was accompanied by an old song. It was the whole process of a pink letter from delivery to how it was mailed to the protagonist’s house. It seemed to express how a letter came to him to influence him, and There were no waves in the middle, it seemed so plain and ordinary. After the song ends, the movie begins. Bill Murray wore a sports suit and a pair of leather shoes on his feet, so strange and earthy, just like all middle-aged people. He was sitting on his sofa, looking at an old movie with no expression on his face. At this time his girlfriend was also carrying luggage and preparing to leave him. I don't know who this is his first girlfriend, he is described as a playboy. He watched her go, wanted to stop but found that he couldn't do it. The reason for all women to leave him was the same, and he himself knew that he couldn't change himself. He continued to watch his old movies, calm on the surface, in fact he was already rolling in his heart. He seemed to be used to this moment, although he was sad inside, but he couldn't reverse it. A stiff sleep on the sofa is as dull and boring as his home.
The pink letter was taken to study by a neighbor who was very interested in detectives. The letter told him that one of his former girlfriends gave birth to a son for him. The neighbor asked him to make a list of his girlfriend's names. He could only think of five. Like a god, his neighbor found the address of his girlfriend ten or twenty years ago. His neighbor advised him to look for them one by one to find out what clues he could find, everything related to pink. He took a no-way bite, and finally started his journey. The mature young woman he saw at the airport was like us bored, or someone who passed by ourselves at a certain moment on the road. This person excites you, but the moment she finally meets with you is only a short moment. This arrangement is extremely real, and many unimportant characters often leave a deep impact on you, leaving a deep imprint on the memory of your journey.
Flying around in the sky, watching strangers sitting across from talking and laughing, listening to the strange Ethiopian music driving alone. Strung across the streets and alleys in unfamiliar places. Confused and helpless, I don't know what I want to do, and what the meaning of this trip is. This is a crazy thing, to find old lovers, to relive old dreams, to face the pain of the past. Everything is unknown, what will those women do to themselves. One of the five women was dead, so he searched for the remaining four. One stays shorter than one. The first one ate dinner and spent a passionate night with the old lover. However, none of this made him forget his purpose. He was looking for anything pink, a pink typewriter or other things that looked like clues, but it was very charming. Both the mother and daughter failed to keep him. The second was just having dinner together, an awkward dinner. The fidgeting Bill Murray looked terribly painful, but he had no choice but to escape quickly. The third only talked to him for ten minutes before he left. The last one still hates him, and he also takes a punch for it. Finally, he did not forget to offer a bunch of flowers to his dead girlfriend. He was in front of his grave, tears rolling, knowing that everything is irreversible.
The sense of confusion throughout the movie is fully expressed through Bill Murray's face, but it feels a bit too much. What's impressive is the numerous supporting roles that flashed by in the movie. The sexy stewardess at the airport, the girl who talks loudly across the seat, the handsome guy driving, the assistant of the third girlfriend, the florist girl who wipes her wounds, and the airport tramp. In fact, we face many such people every day. When you notice him for some reason, he will even appear in your dreams. These strangers enter your memory unknowingly. I have experienced this kind of feeling before, and Jiamuxu has interpreted all of this so well.
The trumpet in Ethiopia is very confusing. How many people will we miss in our lives, and those people flashed past in our lives, and went in the opposite direction. The two lines only met once. Started to run wildly in both directions. I have always liked this analogy. This is the reason that sometimes makes me feel sad, and this movie presents this sadness so obviously, which makes me cherish the present even more.
