broken flowers

... i wanted to talk about Bill Murray's new movie "Broken Flowers" which i thought was very thought provoking and intelligently made.

I believe that I really enjoyed this movie, because I really enjoyed his previous movie "lost in translation" (which goes down as one of my all time favourite) and it seems like this movie is picking up where that one finished.

Murray plays "Don" who recieves a letter (anonymously) that he has a 19 year old son. There begins a journey to his past, to 5 woman he believes could have sent that letter, and to find out if he really does have a son.

The ending might be a surprise to some, but this is the way i like it. I wont spoil it for those whom want to go and see this movie.

I found that the movie highlights that people change, and that time changes people, choices change people, and circumstances. Admitedly, I would have like to have felt more human emotion from the character "Don," but then this is who he is. In a way 'Don' has always been searching for something, and will always be searching, and if he was like his neighbour "Winston" who seems to not have anything, but really has it all!

Boosted by an all-star starcast, its a different style of film making.

A must see!
