Don Johnston, played by Bill Murray, is not Don Juan in life, although he was left alone on the sofa to watch "Don Juan" at the beginning of the film. The woman on TV was crying at Don Juan’s funeral. Ask her, do you know Don Juan? She said that she had never seen Don Juan. Why are you crying? Just because I haven't seen it. Don Juan on the TV watched his funeral and was surprised by his grand funeral. Perhaps he himself did not expect that his charm to women had reached such a point, just like the shameless man sitting on the sofa, Tang ·Johnston, the man who is full of peach blossoms, has no shortage of women around his whole life. Women rush to his life one after another, but they can never touch his heart.
Tang is a lonely man. The movies show his deep loneliness everywhere. He watches big TV alone, listens to the ethereal female voices from heaven, sleeps on his own sofa or hotel bed, and goes on the road alone. , One person is looking for, one is sitting under the tree in front of the tombstone, and one is crying.
He and the world have never understood each other. It is not a simple black humor for Vinstone to use his mobile phone to talk face-to-face with him. There are many barriers and estrangements that cannot be communicated. Although Vinstone is his best friend, His plan for Tang Xun’s son’s visit is kind and warm, but in Tang’s eyes it may not be what he needs. No, he doesn’t need anything. The world is dispensable in his eyes, and there is nothing in his life. Necessary people and necessary things, he lives indifferently as a kind of grievance, he does not take the initiative, does not refuse, he plays down himself in his own life.
But is it true? Winston's happy life is like Ethiopian music, the melody is simple and repetitive, but it is good for the heart. He has many children around his knees and wives who are good at cooking. Although he smokes cigarettes, his wife must be in charge of his daughter, although he complains that he has to work three jobs to raise five children. Compared with Tang, Winston is undoubtedly strong, they are completely opposite, just like their lives, one is blooming in aggressiveness, and the other is shattered and withered in retreat.
Tang and Vinstone’s children are so familiar, the praise of the hostess’s food is so natural, there is no sense of loss and jealousy, which makes us feel that Tang knows that his lifestyle is different from Vinstone’s, he doesn’t Don't envy, like he told Winston, I'm living my life.
Tang’s life is constructed by women. His solitary temperament has an incomprehensible lethality to women. He is a man who is full of desire for women, so he exposed the women who met at the airport and Carmen’s female assistant. His thighs are extremely concerned. His inexplicable attraction to women makes him bear the charge of Playboy Don Juan, but from Laura’s Lolita’s blatant teasing and the affectionate gaze of the florist’s woman, one can know that his life Women are never invited, and he doesn't need to take pains to capture them.
Tang was unable to resist the women's attack, and even less able to stop them from leaving. At the beginning of the film, a woman named Shirley left him. When he was looking for the last old lover, Petunia, to FUCK him, he weakly argued: You left me. Why do women like him and leave him? Before he started his journey of searching for old lovers, he listened to a song at home. The lyrics were: I need you, I need you/I want you in the right way/listen, I also want you to need me/to The right way, baby/just like I need you/I will give you all the love/I want to reciprocate, my dear/I only feel, half of the love/Don’t play with it, something worth cherishing for a lifetime/Baby, can it be you not give a damn about? Are you not alone?/I need you/in the right way, baby/but I need you and you need me/you must, must, must need me/love me, baby/just like I love you.
Love generally needs to be repaid, especially for women. Love is like an overwhelming ocean engulfing men. She longs for the man she loves to be an ocean, but Tang is definitely not such a man. He is at best a small island in the ocean.
Let’s recite another line from Shirley when she left Tang: "You will always be like this, and will never change. I don’t want to be with a high-ranking Don Juan anymore. I am your mistress. Look at your friend Vinstone next door. , How happy they are." Then Shirley asked him: "Don't you want to have a family?"
Don't you want to have a family? This sentence separated Tang and his women into two worlds. Tang didn’t want to have a family. We can’t guess why he didn’t want to have a family. There are countless possibilities in Tang’s life. Although nothing is mentioned in the movie, he It was broken before those who met those women.
Of course, more than one Tang was broken, and none of the five old lovers he looked for was complete. Laura’s husband died in an explosion. She lives with her Lolita-like daughter, but apparently they don’t understand each other, or even incompatible with each other; Dora has a wealthy life and a husband who seems to love him, but she doesn’t want to give He gave birth to a child; Carmen was engaged in the work of communicating with animals after the divorce. She was polite and estranged from Tang, but her female assistant was hostile to Tang. She casually patted Carmen's crotch with ambiguous and frivolous movements, which made it impossible to dismiss them. Penny’s life is the worst, so she has the most reason to be violent. She FUCK YOU for Tang, and Tang also suffered an old punch for it; the most bleak is Michelle, who died in a car accident. The nephrite warm fragrance of the nephrite is now only a scratch of loess and a cold tombstone... 20 years of flicking and seeing each other again, it is the time when the Hongyan is dead, and at the same time, there are still the inevitable concubines of Langqing who have passed away. , The lingering lingering of the boundless spring light, evolved into a stranger who met and unknown: "Can I help you?"
His pink flowers are more or less defeated and lost, who will be responsible for their lives ? Don? This is obviously unfair. Pink is a color with rich meaning. It can represent dreams, love, romance, women, sexy, youth, warmth, beauty... and all of these are broken, broken flowers, broken people’s lives, just like butterflies Effect, I don’t know who made the game for whom. Perhaps this is the fate that cannot be escaped. Fate is the most faithful executor of time. In fate, time flies and flowers fall.
This sad movie seems to be just to show us all the brokenness of life. Tang's search for his son is more like a clue through it, which has no practical significance. Perhaps Tang touched his deep warmth in the process of semi-forced search. Xu was a yearning for rebirth—or through Finding his son to rebuild his own life, or feeling it in his son to live anew—Tang longed for a different life that might be reborn, and this kind of life was no longer broken.
By the end of the movie, his son was still a convoluted mystery, and Tang’s own suspicion even infected the audience: maybe this was Winston’s design, but he just wanted to help Tang rebuild what he thought was a normal family life; maybe it’s Shirley’s strategy She used such a story to wake Tang up and cherish the feelings in her hands; maybe there is this son, and Dora’s old love for Tang is unforgettable and eloquent, probably because she is the son’s mother, and she refuses to give it. How suspicious her husband is having a baby; and why does Petunia hate Tang so much? Could it be that the grievances she had accumulated for her son who had raised Tang for 20 years broke out in an instant? Wasn't the young man who talked to Tang the last to be identified by Tang as his son? You see, he is also wearing the same sweatshirt with sleeve bars as Tang, but why was he scared away by Tang's claim? Tang, who had never chased the woman's departure, rushed to chase his son, as if chasing his no longer broken life, but why did the young man in the car on the opposite side stare at Tang? What is terrible is that he is also wearing a sweatshirt with sleeve bars like Tang... Completely lost, the last 360-degree rotating camera and Tang’s sluggish but hesitant face made everyone trapped in the mystery of life and hit time. The emptiness and the vacancy of the present enter into dizziness, vertigo, to disillusionment, disillusionment...
Finally, use the words Tang said to his imaginary son to encourage each other: the
past is over, I know that in the future, no matter what happens, nothing has yet advent.
So, all you have is now, now...
