After seeing it, I thought that it must be quite a lot more difficult to make 'a quiet film' that draws us in, more difficult than we imagine.
Jarmusch is becoming a quiet master at this....
Follow Ups:
What did dissapoint me was the end, not as such but because of the over simplification, of: Yesterday is past, tomorrow one never knows, and now is now, as a legation to his son.
That was NOT brillant...
For some the ending may be frustrating. Without attempting to open a firestorm, I think that Ebert may have been right on this account. That Murray finding if he has a child is not about finding a child, but more about finding a purpose in an otherwise empty life. The quest to find existence or non-existence of his child in the world is nothing more than exercise to bring purpose in a life where there is none. At the end of the day, the journey is what is important, not the prize.
..there's also buddhist references in there, not the first time with Jarmusch: his 'son' asks if he's a buddhist (it's ambigous whether or not it's his son, of course) and maybe the point is also that the passing on of some wisdom doesn't necessarily have to be to someone who is our blood, because we're all family, in the buddhist sense.
Well, not the ending was, but the last words were!
Of course Ebert is right! But the way too it is a little weak. See Tin comment.
So when we he have to look for a daughter?Not the film as such is questioned but the force of it, the traces it leaves on / in us.
Anyway, I wonder at the next viewing what will have happen in between.
Will it be like Lost?
This one gain more and more.
