Broken Flowers
I love it when films make you think about them afterwards. I especially love it when the possibilities are so innumerous that there’s a whole sequel to Broken Flowers playing out in my head. If you’re wanting the story to wrap up nicely at the end, which I did until I grew a greater appreciation of it (I told you I was thinking about it afterwards), then maybe give it a miss.
Don’t be reading on, if ye not be wantin’ spoilers!
I’ll assume that if you’re still reading this, you’ve seen Broken Flowers, or you don’t mind me giving anything away.
Did anyone notice that Homer Murray was the kid in the car? Though, I think they just threw that in to imply that there may actually be many sons. I don’t think there really is a son at all, though. I’ve decided that Julie Delpy wrote the letter, as a ploy to spark some change in Bill Murray (which apparently succeeded).
Comments
I notice no one else has seen this, I had seen it already before you posted but was to lazy to reply until now.I really enjoyed it… although I would of liked a little more closure at the end of the film. I was quite tired when I saw it and was then worried when it finished that maybe I had gone to sleep at some stage and missed something and thats why nothig tied up for me…
The whole Lolita part cracked me up, and the irony of Homer Murray being the kid car wasn’t lost on me. His neighour the wannabe detective was great a great character, anyway enough dribble. Good film!
