the limit of restraint

Li Mawen's child Jarmusu finally named the dog Mawen


The seven-day life of Paterson, a bus driver, seems to be repetitive and dull, but there are different adventures every day.
Life is poetry
. Paterson, who lives in Paterson City, wakes up at a fixed time. At home, it is difficult to walk to work with a sweet wife carrying a lunch box. Colleagues who read the scriptures meet all kinds of people at work, go home and walk at Marvin’s fixed bar for a while, or write poems. Although the economy is not rich, it is all very good.

Maybe because of cultural differences, I can’t feel it. How beautiful the poems appear in the film, just indulge in the details that appear at any time, just like Jarmusch's films in the past, it feels full of his feelings, and the
feelings are poems. The

Paterson twins are so many that you can meet Paterson anywhere. The security situation at night was probably so dangerous that I kept worrying that Marvin would be stolen even though it smashed the secret notebook where he wrote poetry. The

last Japanese poet's words were a little bit more restrained. I think it would be better. Maybe he finally Excuse me ahah reminds me of an old friend who used to say things that weren't funny from time to time.

Watching Jarmusch's films, I always yearn for the city under his lens. Memphis only loves Detroit for eternity. Paterson, I always say to myself that I want to see it. Although the gap between reality and literature and art will be very large

, because of my own sensitivity, I pay attention to the paintings hanging in Paterson's house. The aesthetics are kept in black and white. The guitar she bought, the cake she made, the curtains she painted, and the clothes she wore were all black and white without any bright colors, so I don't think these paintings were made by her, so who painted them? I don't have an answer either~

    I envy the hug when I wake up seven days a week, I am really envious, I am so envious that I cry. . . . . . .

    A particularly old-school literary youth, a particularly saucy movie. The advantage is that the degree is just right, and the moment when you use various daily life to correspond to the poetry, it will not be so hypocritical. Poetry in the ordinary, fighting against the mediocrity of life with one's own hobbies, this is almost the inner monologue of every young film artist. It's just that we are often ashamed to admit it. Instead, he would laugh at himself with the phrase "stupid".

Paterson quotes

  • Paterson: I don't like you, Marvin.

  • Everett: You love somebody, more than anything in the whole damn world. You... worship her. You don't wanna be *alive* without her, and... she says she doesn't want you. You're just... dirt.

    Doc: Damn brother! You should be an actor.

    Everett: [nods] I am... an actor.

    [Paterson turns his head away and tries not to laugh]
