Polish translation: o tytule

English term or phrase: Broken Flowers
z ciekawości tylko pytam - czy jest jakiś powód że tytułu tego filmu nie przetłumaczono na nasze? Przy American Beauty, brak tłumaczenia był zrozumiały skoro przedmiotowa odmiana róż tak właśnie się nazywała, ale tu? jest jakieś inne znaczenie broken flowers o którym nie wiem?

Polish translation:o tytule
Explanation:
Jarmusch mówi tak:

Even the title of "Broken Flowers" has an allusive meaning.

¨There's a famous D.W. Griffith film called 'Broken Blossoms' which, while it's not a direct reference, may be a semiconscious allusion from me," he says. ¨I always thought that was a beautiful title -- you don't think of broken blossoms.

¨I like the idea we don't use the term 'broken flowers.' It's not like wilted flowers or fresh flowers. It's taking things that don't quite rationally go together yet seem evocative to me. Is it something in Bill's character? Are these women the broken flowers? Is it that maybe he missed out on love early in his life because he didn't recognize it? I wanted something poetic."

i jeszcze takie co¶:
The first of many, many wrong notes sounded in Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers is the title. What is a broken flower? The tenor of the phrase is more precious than poetic. It doesn't feel like a title anyone would choose, except as some kind of atonal translation of an Ozu film. In fact, a glimpse at the final credits reveals that Broken Flowers is copyrighted as a production of Dead Flowers, LLC,
