sometimes a family is two men, one woman, a baby, the kid that hopped in their car, and the the investigators trying to arrest them for human trafficking
‘thank you for being born’ is the new way of saying i love you and no i dont make the rules
my pick for the palme. an empathetic road trip odyssey reflecting on the family we choose and the family we tearfully let go of. i might be biased but i thought lee ji-eun was particularly outstanding (in a film with song kang-ho!)
Kore-eda still raising the bar of crimes that can be committed with an open heart
Typically bittersweet from Kore-eda will another strange, tender family - but I found it much more complex here with questions of forgiveness and responsibility and choice, crucially the wrestle with a woman’s choice that never feels right, whatever you do. It takes a master to get that conflict right
The cyclical nature of broken systems and the broken people within them, but the ultimate reminder that our kin isn’t always determined by blood. Poignant and tender, exactly what you expect from Kore-eda.
I cried and then I cried some more.
koreeda, song kang ho, bae doona and IU working on the same film!!?! guess i finally found a motivation to stay alive
I'll probably see a lot of great movies for the next few days, but I highly doubt anything will be as good as Broker. Twenty minutes into the movie and I already knew this was going to be a masterpiece. It's probably Kore-eda's most plot-driven film, but it still *feels* like classic Kore-eda. Brilliant screenplay and such an emotional plot. It's just right up my alley.
There is a sequence that takes place in a Ferris wheel partway through the film and I guarantee that scene is going to make entire theaters cry when it comes out. I was shedding tears in that scene and I swear half the theater was as well. IU steals the show. I haven't seen…
"Thank you for being born."
Humans are meaning-making machines. We aren't really rational creatures, we're rationalizing creatures.
Craving purpose for our lives as well as needing a sense of control over the events in our lives are drives intrinstic to human nature. Thus, we assign meaning to every experience, interpreting each in a way that further furnishes our sense and system of reality according to our personal understanding.
Broker explores certain questions essential to our existential well-being: What does it mean to belong? Do I belong? Am I wanted? Does my life matter? Is my existence cherished by those that I cherish?
With compassion, with levity, with pathos, with nuance, Broker interrogates the above-referenced questions through an unintentionally found family…
