May you send me a handful of pink roses

I once asked you, do you have a favorite flower?

You answered that it doesn't matter whether you like it or not.

I am a little bit lost. A person should have a flower he likes, so that when you die, those who miss you know how to pay homage.


In 【Broken Flower】Bill Murray's handful of pink roses is lost and nowhere to be placed, as if the sudden appearance of an old lover under the scorching sun broke the quiet of flying low.

Pink rose's flower language is "first love" and "like your bright smile".

His pink rose seems to be a memorial to remembrance. If it didn't come again yesterday, the once brilliant smile is only buried in the depths of memory.

I once told you, look at a woman’s smile, not at the corners of her mouth, but look at her eyes. The woman cherishes her face, for fear of stacking wrinkles at the corner of her eyes, she smiles cautiously, and stops at the irrelevant people, with a shallow smile. Only the joy from the heart can reveal itself without any cover, and the smile at this time, like a beautiful flower, blooms brilliantly in the depths of the bright eyes.

Twenty years ago, they were all the flowers in his heart, charming, innocent and splendid. He and them both had sweet dreams with arms as pillows and lingering in the morning after waking up, indulging in the wind blowing when walking on the beach at dusk, chatting all night in a convertible, watching the stars or staring at each other for a long time. Their smiles are also innocent and unguarded.

However, twenty years later, they have not withered, but withered. They have a charming daughter, a husband who tells bad jokes, a puppy named Winston died, or they lived in a humble wooden house in poverty... He used to In this way, the flowers are dilapidated and decayed in the hustle and dust of life, and together, there are their smiles.

There is only time, which can't be worth it, to take away the deep or shallow love, and the smile that disappears in the wind is deeply frowning. At the moment he photographed her, she wore a wreath on her head, with soft blonde hair and a smile like a flower, leaving her childish innocence on the black and white negative. Downey picked up the photo again, her superficial husband's exaggerated display was in her ear, and her eyes met her, she smiled awkwardly and sorry.

The smile is bright and bright as sunflowers, because of the joy and tenderness from the bottom of my heart. No longer in love, the indifference in my heart will also be revealed in the corners of my eyes and brows, only surprise, polite, alienation and rejection on his face, just like Downey's four former girlfriends.

"The garden that I loved in the past has built a church, and the cold tombstone has replaced the green grass." When Downey comforted the tombstone of his dead girlfriend, what appeared in front of him, but the bright smile that has not diminished, only bloomed for him?


I hope you will give me a handful of pink roses after I die.

Weep for me and never forget my smile.

    Only the combination of Jarmusch and Bill Murray can contribute to such a willful production, and now it seems that it will remind of the later "Blueberry Night", and of course Sofia Coppola's movie, their search Both are more dazed, though the meaning of what they are looking for is more practical than the setting of the film. The setting of that letter, I want to change it to a second director to write it into the script will not work, but the behavior that can become the protagonist without an ending is the behavior itself, and it does not need to have any meaning. Looking back at this film, it is better than the first. It's even more interesting the next time I experience it. The part that I don't like is that any of the actresses in the movie are big heroines, even if it is Sharon Stone who plays the average role, she is also a strong heroine, but they come to this movie as if they all become With a tool, the feelings between them and the male protagonist are written too clearly and roughly, giving little room for performance.
