Broken Flower

There is a song in China called "Those Flowers", and there is a movie in the United States called "Broken Flowers". It's all about flowers, about men and women. The past love, once the water is overwhelmed, is like a dilapidated flower, drifting away with the wind. Although the breath is still between the fingers, the smile is still on the black and white photos, and the stories are still mixed in between the lines, but everything is over, isn't it?
Maybe not, when old love suddenly appears in the most inappropriate way at the most inappropriate moment, and those days that you thought were far away and became no longer real or even you thought as if you had never lived all of a sudden come alive again Really in front of you. Harassment, entanglement, and even make your heart flutter.
You are on your way. It's not a last resort, you are ashamed to find out that you can't wait. You are afraid of your own thoughts, but when you see those lost flowers reopen in another way, you believe that even for a moment, you still care about those days when you were young, those flowers opened days.
There is a connection between the past and the present, a subtle and indescribable connection. Between the two, where is the head?

    estranged. Unlike the imagined Jarmusch, a simple story is still shot in style. Those pinks are all gone, and the pink flowers decay and shatter in the cold blue reality. The past is past, the future is unknown, only the present can be grasped - but when he tried to grasp the present, the child ran away. "I know you think I'm your dad." In fact, he hoped that he was his son too much. When he realized the lack of his life, the look in his eyes was heartbreaking.

    Westerners enjoy the current outlook on life, and the future of China's low fertility rate and low marriage rate looks very fitting now. Like Alexander Payne's road story, but the style is entirely Jarmusch's. Picking up flowers in the morning and evening, feeling the state of old age in advance, and reminiscing about a person I once met. ★★★★/8.2
