Very best movie i ever watch

The Age of Commercialism

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The first Jarmusch movie I watched was Night on Earth. It was more baffling that good, but not terrible enough to hate it. Then I saw the truly terrible Dead Man and that almost did it for me.Then Broken Flowers came out and I decided to watch it, mostly for Bill Murray. And am I glad I did.Most people expect road movies to depict some sort of internal realization or life changing discovery by the main character. As in "I didn't know who I really was until I crossed the Mexican desert high on peyote". It was time somebody did a really good road movie that remained anchored to Earth.Jarmusch' previous ones are this kind of road movie but fail to make any point clearly, or maybe it's me who failed to see it. Not the case with Broken Flowers. Bill Murray's tired, bored man embarks on an unlikely trip to find the son he never met (at least that's what a letter from an anonymous former lover tells him). He does not find him, and while his late actions seem to show he may have changed a bit, it's not clear what the future holds for him. And that makes this is a better -actually a great- movie. No, a road trip cannot take anybody back in time. Not all plots have to wrap up tidily at the ending, just like many real life issues remain unsolved, in continuous flow during our real lives. What's done is done and what you don't know now, you probably never will. But that's not an excuse for inaction.If Broken Flowers has a message, it might be "try and see what happens". The goal may be unrealistic and thus you will not achieve it. But taking the trip may present you with new opportunities you hadn't seen before. At the end of the movie, Murray stands at a crossroad, the camera revolving around him from all possible directions: we don't know which one he will take, and he probably doesn't himself. But before he took the trip, he didn't even know these directions existed.

With the high rating on IMDb and a very impressive cast, then I must admit that I had initially expected something more extraordinary from this movie. Having seen it now, I will say that I sit here with a 'was that it?' sensation as the movie came to an end.The storyline was just a bit too simplistic to fully be all that entertaining and the movie was just lacking momentum. It just never got out of first gear and into speed. And even with an impressive cast putting on great performances, then they could not muster to lift the storyline up to a more entertaining level. And I think that director Jim Jarmusch didn't really fully rise to the occasion.What makes "Broken Flowers" watchable and actually worth watching is the impressive performance by Bill Murray, along with some great supporting acting from Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange and Tilda Swinton. Bill Murray was really in his ace in the role of Don Johnston, just a shame that the storyline was a ball and chain around his ankle.Having seen "Broken Flowers" once, I can honestly say that I am not going to Watch it a second time, because it just doesn't have that much weight to sustain multiple viewings.

Don (middle-aged bachelor, starred Bill Murray) received an anonymous letter from an ex-lover, informing him that he has a son aged 19 who maybe looking for him. Don's neighbor made Don narrowed down the possibility to four former lovers and moved him to visit them to search for answers.The subject sounds dramatic (or has the possibility to be dramatic). However, since the director is Jim Jarmusch, you cannot expect him to tell a classical Hollywood story. The story is told in a smooth way, with little ups and downs and an open ending. I'm not very sure about the theme, but very impressed by Don's detached attitude towards life and his hesitation on actions. I like the story's mood, which is very well created by appropriate blank in characters' relationship and narrative rhythm, as well as Bill Murray's natural performance. Broken Flowers is the second film of Jim Jarmusch I saw, after Only Lovers Left Alive. Both of them made me feel there is some nature beauty in Jim Jarmusch's film language. It seems he creates beautiful scenes with little effort, just like the way he tells his story, which has some natural lightness in it.

One of my favourite Jarmusch films that I have thus far seen.I liked Bill Murray's casual, down played character and his contemplative, observations and subtle reactions on his mid-life antic.All of this pessimistic protagonist's former sweethearts are perfect incongruities with their own world of irony to rival his. Great performances by Julie Delpy and Sharon Stone.It plays out as an insightful, tellingly ironic and darkly comic journey about untied ends and broken relationships, with a central character piecing together puzzle and searching for his ex lover who may have given birth to his unknown son.This is a simple yet touching story with people you relate to and end up caring about and wanting to understand, despite their patent imperfections.
