movie review - Broken Flowers
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Tokyo, 2006.11.28
This is a movie about a retired founder of a software company* who's single once again after his girlfriend leaves. He receives a letter written on pink paper from an ex-girlfriend telling him that the son he didn't know he had is looking for him. This sets him on a quest to find his ex-girlfriends and see which sent the letter. A mixed batch of women follows, each with different responses. There's a final scene after the tour is done that ends this thing in a note-perfect way.
Recommended.
*This was not written by someone with familiarity with the software industry. There's no such thing as a "retired founder of a software company".
