The Bill Murray movie "Broken Flowers"... seen it yet?
 

I caught it on Movie Central last night. Found it to be one seriously twisted movie.

Not your average Bill Murray.

Absolutely awesome, and hilarious at times. It kinda reminded me of Lost in Translation though.

Yes, it did have a bit of that "feel" to it.

The part where the biker clocked him in the eye and he wakes up in a field was priceless. So was the scene where the ex-girlfriend's 16 or 17 yr old daughter wanders out in front of him naked repeatedly. (funny how a hollywood movie can do that put it's considered a huge no-no to even post a clothed pic of a teen girl, even on this board)

Good movie, weird ending.

The actress playing Lolita was actually like 21 when the movie was shot (I had the exact same thought as you, so I looked it up).

Personally, I thought the ending was pretty good. It leaves you guessing (just as he is), and raises some interesting thoughts. For example, with his implied history, he could well have more children. Having never settled down, his whole connection to the world is ambiguous - he has no idea of how his actions throughout his life have affected others.

Oh I realize that, but she is portrayed in the movie as being in her mid teens. On the internet that causes a huge uproar, but in the movies it's somehow magically "okay"... is my point. I've noticed this little double standard often over the years, and it surfaced again after watching this film.

The ending was good, just... weird, is all. I found much of the movie to be... well, "weird" is about the only word I can think of at the moment. lol

In this case weird is good.

I found some of the long scenes where he's just sitting there staring off into space for 40 seconds, a minute, 90 seconds... to be somewhat arduous to the point of me getting up and topping up my drink, then coming back to the TV to find him STILL sitting there staring. :1orglaugh

i liked the movie

I liked Lost in Translation better. Bill Murray movies are good in general, but this one didn't make it to the top of the list.

Sounds interesting, will have to watch out for it in the UK

I fucking hated Lost in Translation, overrated pos. So i doubt i will like this either.

keep seeing it at the movie store and wasn't sure if i should rent it. i like bill murray. i found lost in translation sloooooooooooooow.

i rented The Matador with Pierce Bronsnan. He was really good i thought.

I liked it. I loved the jumpsuits.:thumbsup

No i didn't like it. It was too boring. Apart of the Lost in Translation, which was intresting for me (most people thought it was dull)

will have to look out for this one

I liked it except for he last 2 minutes. The soundtrack was pretty cool as well.

Lost translation was slow and almost everyone i know who saw it felt asleep on half of the movie. I didn/t and i liked it.

bill murray shreds period

i liked lost in translation but then i also liked caddy shack ;)

..and Ghost Busters"!

I liked it but then I also thought Lost In Translation was a great movie.

i think bill murray is seriously under rated when it comes to his acting, I he is a great actor but unfortunately when most people think bill murray they think ghost busters or ground hog day!

ahhhhh ground hog day...

***repost sorry***

Groundhog day... one of my favorites of all time.

totally agree. The best one. Very atmospheric.

I wondered how the nude scene was legal, too. I understand the girl was actually over 18, but how do you think the feds would like it if someone made a web site with a naked 18 year old girl and it said on the front "Beth is 15!"

I wonder that too.

I was really disappointed... I guess I expected something different, and I'm a huge Bill Murray fan.

oh, not yet...
but i'll consider seeing it by the end of this weekend :)

i still haven't seen it, big bill murray fan too, i'm pumped to finally watch it.

interesting.. would like to watch it one of these days,

I hate this damm weird movies with wierd endings :mad:!!

Strange ending, but some hot ass

I LOVED lost in translation. I watched it a few weeks after I moved to Japan and this movie is just SO true...
