“Broken Flowers”: 6/10. You could call it “open to interpretation” or “thought-provoking,” but I wouldn’t give you my vote. It wouldn’t feel right if I gave a movie that doesn’t have any profoundness as such, intentional as it may be, a good rating. I mean, there’s plenty of stuff to think about without watching a movie. And if you’re going to get all explicitly philosophical all of a sudden, don’t go for a trite “The past is gone, the future isn’t here yet, so all we have is this.” Go back to your marijuana, hippie. Well, maybe I’m just missing the point. But this is my blog and my opinion.
