Define the ending in one word:
Devastating (and the song is perfect).
Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories... And we've already missed the spring!

Wow.
I think that's what I said right after the credits started to role. I didn't think I would like this film and I tivo'd it. The same day I watched it I went out and bought the DVD. It's a keeper.

It's amazing how many different definitions posters came up with. Some saw the ending as hopeful, others as inane, and some as an example of Don's paranoia. I think the variety of responses speaks volumes about how much substance Broken Flowers really has.
Well said, Michael. As I stated, to me it was simply devastating, but if someone found it hopeful, good for them. Anyway, a great film.

Brilliant.
the kid sticking his head out the window and looking at Bill Murray...it was just awesome. Coincidentally (or maybe not), the kid was Bill Murray's real-life son.
