It's a dull movie. The proof is: I fell asleep at the movie theater and woke up to find that an uncle next door was also asleep, snoring slightly.
The first time I saw Jarmusch's movie, it was about a bus driver named Paterson who lived in Paterson city and the bus also went to Paterson for a week. The director not only wanted to copy the life of a bus driver 1:1 Show it to you on the big screen, and even worse, mark Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday....
It was Monday in the movie when I slept, and it was already Wednesday when I woke up. I could totally guess what the male protagonist did on Tuesday, but I couldn't guess what poems he wrote that day. By the way, this driver loves to write poetry.
I heard that a boring life can make people more creative, and I heard that some people write poetry to fight loneliness. Writing poetry in this bland place of Paterson seems to have become a tradition. William Calos William, a great poet, wrote poetry here, a bus driver wrote poetry, a little girl who looked like a primary school student wrote poetry, and there is also a Japanese poet who came here to travel here.
In fact, the male protagonist's poems are also boring, of course, compared to his life, it is interesting. No rhythm, vernacular, calm and warm. It's about a flash in the brain or a small error at work. For example, I used that brand of matches in the past, but now I use this brand of matches. For example, when the bus he drove was moving forward, he imagined that thousands of molecules were pushed aside. For example, when I was a child, my grandfather sang an old song: You Want to be a fish? These flashes are different every day, and they are imaginative, not like his work. I think because of this, he recorded these flashes truthfully and memorized a large book of poems, as if the meaningless things in life were filtered out.
In fact, life is the same everywhere, repeating, repeating, waiting, waiting, the same scenery, the same people, the same work. No matter how beautiful it is, it will be aesthetic fatigue. Only our brain is always active, restless, a treasure that never repeats.
